STRIKE OF PRINTERS
NswvoRk JOB MEN WILL 90 OUT

nack ThSA. q tist1-

New York. Dec. l4.-It Is probable
that within forty-eight hours the 1900
printers employed In the 162 book and
Job printing offices OF this city will be
idle-the result OF strike.
Typographical Union No. @ has
taken the first step. The union men,
in special session have decided to give
the boss printers until Tuesday
night to accede to the demand for a
nine-hour day. If by that time the de-
mand remains unrec0gnized, the print
ers will strike. and the union has
agreed to levy a per cent. campaign
tax upon every dollar earned by the
total union membership Of $4,000. to
be used as fund TO support the strike.
A month ago the typographical
Union No. q requested the proprietOrs
Of book and job offices to meet the
wishes Of their employees and fix up
nine hours MS working day. Prior
10 this the printers OF this country and
Canada had by two-thirdB vote de-
clared for the same principle and had
authorized the International Union to
force the Issue. The employers were
duly notified. but they seemingly ig-
nored the matter. Then the Typoth-
etae held a meeting, and. according to
the report given out by one of It's
members resolution was passed de-
clining to make nine hours a working
day and svbSeribing $4,000 as a de
fense fund.-" with which to fight any
attempt to enforce the demand.
All the union book and job printers
Of the United States and Canada are
watching the struggle. II the New
York printers win. their brethren else
where will probably insist on the new
time schedule. TO the fight for which
they are already committed by the &C.
ton Of the international Union.

An English exchange says: Con
siderable discussion has naturally en-
sued on the rise of bread, and 1t is sug-
gested that bakers are making more
than a legitimate profit. Taking the
statistics Of the Labour Gazette. we
md that during the second week In
August the price OF wheat was 29s Sd.
and in the second week In September
II had risen TO 33s Id per quarter. For
the same weeks the price OF the four.
pound loaf WAS respectively t97d and
6.6sd. which gives rise OF 3s Sd per
quarter In wheat and IL d In the four.
pound loaf. II Is estimated that 10
lvaves Of four-pounds each can be
made from a quarter OF wheat. so nj
the prices given above the August LOAF
would. counting only the price OF
wheat. cost 2.95d. and the September
loaf $500. There is therefore an In
crease Of lid In the price OF the Sep
tember as sold by the bakers ns
against .3bd per loaf. charging only the
cost Of the wheat"

Boston, Mass, Dec. 1.-The Ameri-
can Board of Foreign Mission made
public to-day Its elghty-seveuth annual
report.
The receipts from the New England
states amounted to total Of 1886,
4S4.12. The total receipts from all
sources We're x6l22. 7S1.O7.
The report deals at length with Turk
ish massacres and says that while
many Christians were killed or ded,
the number OF prOfessel Christians ex-
ceeds that previous to the outrages.
The wounded left by massacres and
robbery have been slowly healing, al-
though In some places the suffering has
been quite as great as In the previous
year. Generous gifts that have come
well nigh from every European state
for the sufferers by massacre and for
the care Of orphans are gratefully ac-
knOwledged and have revealed the es-
sential unity Of the civilized world in 4
most impressive way.
The demand for indemnity for losses
incurred at Harpoot and Manasch.
amounting In ali to 100000, was
pressed as yet without result. The
changed conditions at COnstantinOple
and the arrival Of DIR. Angel, the new
United States minister to the porte.
may reasonably be expected to secure
early and satisfactory action in regard
to this claim and all other material
questions ut issue between our gov

but in reality Of the same fanaticism
and race hatred which deluged the
whole empire with blood the previous
year. When the sovereigns spoke the
word on the third day bloodshed
ceased instantly throughout the whole
country. Criminals have received lit

bride OF a year was recently heard
to say that ten OF her acquaintance
were to be married before Christmas.
and that as the parents OF all OF them
had sent her expensive wedding gifts.
she and her husband were in much
perturbation about the customary re-
turn. There is food for reflection In
her comment that as they lived in a
small rented house and kept but one
servant. their valuable silver was still
stored In the vault where II had been
placed at their marriage; that al
though the gifts represented over
three thousand dollars. the young hus-
band had to struggle for their liveli-

FREIGHT WAR OVER.

Chicago. Dec. Representatives of
the western lines interested In the rate
war now being waHed to Colorado
common points met In this city for the
purpose Of attempting to come to some
agreement looking to the restoration
Of the old rates. During the late after
noon an unexpected turn In Affairs
took place and the Cuff lines agreed
to scaling down Of the old differen-
tlals of from to cents on the vari-
ous classes OF freight. This was salts
factory to the all-rail lines, and 1t was
decided that all rates should be re-
stored on that basis January LIST. The
direct lines refused absolutely to main
tain rates unless the concessions asked
by the differentinl lines were lessened.
Denver. Dec. 1.-THE freight war,
which has been waged for some months
past between the all-rail and water
and rail lines running into Colorado
from the east. will come to an end at
midnight. December 31st. and on the
following day. January I. 1893, the
rates will Ike practically what they
were prior to the present war. This
agreement was entered into by the
lines Interested nt Il meeting held yes-
teruay in Chicago.
The telegrnphic advices received In
Denver by the freight agents did not
contain any particulars relative to the
basis OF the settlement beyond giving
the dinerentinls that will be main
taIned by the water lines. These new
diherentials are lowered few cents
ON some classes. and raised on others.
Taken ms whole. there is no material

Before the fight opened. the first
class rate from Chicago TO Colorado
common points was <205. The rate
has dropped TO ~ cents. The first
class rate from the Mississippi river
was &l.&b. The rate Is now ~ cents.
The first-clasx rate from the Missouri
river was x1.2J. The rate is now %
cents.
Freight solicitors were the liveliest
men In Denver yesterday afternoon.
No sOOner had the news Of the res'ora-
tion been received In the city than the
telephones We're set jnngling. and the
active young men OF the freight offices
were moving In all directions to convey
the intelligence TO patrons Of the roads
ana receive orders held In allegiance
until the final wind-up should be
reached. Brokers and merchants hur-
ried to the freight offices to talk over
the news and learn from the heads Of
the departments just what facilities the
road had for taking care Of the unusual
pressure.

ments may be gained when II In said
