STRIKE OF TIN PLATE WORKERS
About Eight Thousand Men Will be Thrown
Out of Employment.

Pittsburg, Pa, June ia strike in
rhe tin plate industry seems certain and
the conference on the wage scale arrang-
ed for tomorrow is not likely 10 accom-
plish anything tending to settlement,
as both sides are firm and assert that
no concessions will be made. There are
thirty-nine tin plat plants in the United
States operated by thirty-eight compa-
nies, the American Tin Plate company
operating two, one at Elwood, and the
other at Montpelier, Indiana These
thirty-nine plants represent 11S mills,
but someo them are small mills and do
not figure 10 any extent in the industry.
The total number of skilled workmen
employed in the industry is 1927, of
which 273 are non-union men. The
number of workers outside of the ton
mage men employed at tin plate plants
is G.265. and a strike for the new wage
scale will throw about 5000 people OUT
of employment
New York. June 15.-There was a rush
of clothing contractors today to settle

tractors opened heir shops. and 200 tai
lors went to work in them. All but s.

FEWER SALUTES NOW.
Rhode Islanders Are Less Solicitous to
Make 1t Pleasant.

| People along the shore always burn
red fire when the New York boat goes
down at night. But they are not burn
ing so much this summer as they have
in previous seasons. The fact is very
noticeable. Why they are not doing it
is not SO plain.
Perhaps the hard times have had
their effect on those people who for
merly had spare change to devote to
| the purchase of outdoor illuminants.
Maybe the people who occupy summer
residences down along the shore find
that they are obliged to curtail the
production of evening amusements and
are willing to let the searchlghts fur
nish the illuminating that was former
ly done by the chemists compound.
Then, again, it may be that some of
the large steamers on the bay, by the
use of the searchlight and the wiring
of the boats for electricity, have COM
PEELED the attention that was formerly
devoted to the New York boat to be
divided among several of them and the
New York boat has become less of u
special feature.

Of their red fire, and, while some is
burned nearly every night. there has
been a falling off in brilliancy, which
even the coming of the Fall River boats
to this port has not revived.
Time was when the beacon fires be-
gan to burn almost from the moment
when the steamer left the wharf at
Fox Point, and as the big boat plowed
it's way through the waters of the
channel there would be a continuous
series of three-whistle salutes, with
which the captain would be compelled
to respond. The cannonat Silver Spring
would boom across the water, then red
fire would blaze up at various points
on the opposite shore, followed by an
answering flash from below Silver
Spring Spring, and so it would be kept
up from shore to shore. But now there

ABOUT POSTAGE STAMPS.

If Hawaii is annexed there will be
an increased demand for stamps of that
country. In that event the new Off:
cial stamps issued only a short time
ago will likely come in for good share
of attention, as they have not yet been
circulated to any appreciable extent.
In Malacca and in Ceylon, large COM
mercial firms are permitted to print
their names on the postage stamps to
prevent theft-of stamps on the part of
their employees. In that way, Ceylon
stamps are often considered great treas
ures, when bearing the name of Gave"
in small black capitals, while this sur
charge means nothing but the imprint
of a wealthy tea planter.
d. o. Blood G. Co., of Philadelphia,
who, from 1841 to 1858, issued so many
different locals and operated private
post so successfully, were, perhaps. the
originators of the idea of including the
hour at which the letter was stamped,
in the postmark. The postal authorities
of the government did not adopt this
nice system of postmarking until long
after Blood 6 Co. had set the pace.
When the government issued the
first perforated stamps few of the
good folk living in the rural districts
were SO bound by conservatism that
they placed the stamps on their letters
only after they had clipped off the per-
forations. They had been using un-
perforated stamps for many years, and
they did not propose that any new
tangled arrangements should have en-
couragement from them.
Germany is the home of the stamp
forgers, the authorities there seeming
to consider that it is none of their busi-
ness so long as the forgers do not med
die with the home stamps. Lately the
forging has taken a new turn, Ger
man firm having shipped to this coun-
try thousands of sheets of decalco-
mania pictures containing autographs
of United States stamps. The pictures
have been held at the custom house,
and somebody will lose money on this
transaction.
A plan for removing medallions on
the United States stamps and replacing
them with miniature photographs is
new idea which has recently been copy
righted. Permission is said to Nave
been granted by the government for
the use of postage stamps in this man
ner, but only used specimens must be
utilized for the purpose. 1t is now pos
sible for one to see his own features on
the penny satmp instead of those of the
illustrious Benjamin, or on the two-cent
stamp in lieu of those of the immor-
tai George

lace. The nurses apron is made extra

A new book of 135 pages by Marvin Warren.
Wy ire istible facts and logic it shows clearly
hhat the natural and easy way of maintaining
forever th., parity of all gold, silver and paper
money is TO make them equally legal tender,
but not redeemable in each other nor in any
thing but government dues.
The author holds that our financial and in
dustrial woes come chiefly from the present
system of coin redemption, and he points out a
way to speedy relief.
The measures proposed in this book are the
logical outcome of the principles of the People s
Party, and the rapid circulation of this book
will be OF immense service in uniting the
scattered forces of the party, and in making new
converts everywhere.
