today of1ithe steam filters strike: lit
looks to me as if we were going to have a
very serious strike in this city. 1t is our
duty, under the law and it is compulsory
i'm the case of strikes or lock outs TO see
all the parties at variance, and decide ms
To whether il is necessary as n last resort
to call for testimony and for all books and
papers that the different organizations of
either employees or employers may have.
This is always the last step we take and
one that we are loath to take. We make
public the result of our Investigation, but
have no judicial power in the matter. We
shall today first call upon the Builders
Association and later we will go and have
q conference with the walking delegates. Z"

Mrs. Smith Gets a Decree.

. The Appellate Court decided today In
the case Of Mary Y. Smith VS.. Stephen
Wright that the land in controversy be-
tween the parties is not woodland and is
to be regarded as a part of the homestead
estate devised to Mrs. Smith for life. The
court holds that while there Is no descrip-
tion in the will of the property the fact
that part of the lot Is cultivated, that
there is an open space between this land
and the undisputed woodland, that the
two have formerly been separated by a
wall and fence which still remain in
part, and that the land has been known
as sheep pasture, are more consistent
with tho claims of the complainant than
of tho respondent. The complainant Is
therefore held entitled to decree.
