The Nine-HOu.. Day,
Hal Reid.

From Typographical Journal: Local
unions should make preparation for
the raising of funds for shorter work
day purposes. Such a step has been
taken by some of our subordinate
bodies, but the movement should be
general. San Francisco Union No.
81, at it's February meeting, unani-
mously adopted the recommendation
of the local shorter workday commit
tee, and an assessment of one per cent
on February /, and will continue until
May /, unless an earlier settlement is
reached In other cities the union
reserve fund will be placed at the dis
posal of the local officials at the proper
time. A short time ago Boston No. 10
adopted resolutions pledging its mem
bership to pay an assessment for short
er workday purposes when called upon
to do so by the executive council of the
International body. The example thus
set has been followed by No. IS, of
Detroit, Mich, as Is evidenced by the
appended declaration:
Whereas, In the recent vote on the
shorter workday proposition Detroit
Typographical Union No. IS was prac-
tically unanimous in favor of the plan
to assess the membership for the crea-
ton of a shorter workday campaign
fund.- and,
Whereas, 1t appears that said propo-
sitions failed to receive majority of
the votes cast throughout the jurisdic
ton of the International Typographical
Union at large; and,
Whereas, The necessity for shorten
ing the hours is still imminent, and the
need of funds to successfully inaugu-
rate the shorter workday is likely to
arise at any moment; therefore be it
Resolved, That Detroit Topographic
cal Union No. IS, in regular meeting
assembled, in order to uphold the
hands of the international Topographic
cal Union shorter workday committee
and strengthen the cause of the shorter
workday, hereby pledges itself to an
assessment for the shorter workday
whenever called upon by the executive
council of the International Typo
graphical Union.
1t is evident the membership fully
appreciates the Importance of the sit
uation. At this time 1t may not be out
of place to state that those having
charge of the increment intend that
the nine-hour day shall take effect in
all book and job offices under the jur-
isdiction of the International during
the present year, and the date for its
Inauguration will be announced in a
short time. We again urge local
unions to build up their treasures. If
not disposed to do this, the passage of
resolutions of the tenor of that given

The Italians are considering plans
for the construction Of double tun-
mel, about two miles in length, between
the toe of Italy and the island Of Sicily.
The tunnel is to run under the Straits
of Messina, not far from the site Of
Scylla and Charybdis, the rocks and
the whirlpool, which were so dreaded
by ancient mariners. 1t was at first
proposed that bridge be thrown across
the straits, but it was thought that this
would be too much exposed to the
winds, which are occasionally violent
between the opposing mountains Of
Sicily on one side and Calabria on the
other.-Ex.

The strike at the Benwood, w. Va,

the strikers securing their full de-
mands.
Textile schools for the instruction of
the cotton mill hands are going up all

which legislation can lend in that di-
rection is being freely rendered.
The United States circuit court Of ap-
peals, Justice Harlan and Circuit Judges

more than full time. Many of the OPP
eratives have been working at an adj

New England members of congress
have formulated law authorizing the
federal authority to fix the hours Of la
Dor throughout the country. 1t is de-
signed to protect New England cotton
mills against their southern competi
tors.
A referendum vote of the Swiss cleo
tors has decided affirmatively the
question, Shall the government pur-
chase all the railroads in Switzerland
now owned by others than the govern
ment?" The expense involved will be
about $40, 100000.
The brisk business that the big in
dustrial establishments about western
Pennsylvania are doing about this time
has entailed considerable extra work
upon the factory inspectors. They are
engaged in the rather unusual occrlpa-
ton of keeping the minors employed
in the mills and factories from work
ing overtime. According to the terms
of the factory act passed at the last
session of the legislature, no minor
is permitted to work more than fifty
eight hours per week.

Ways In Which They Facilitate the
Business of the House.
In the best theaters the use Of the
telephone has been most comprehens-
lively developed, says the Chautauquan.
1t connects the manager with all de-
partments of the house. Seated in his
sanctum off the box Office, he is in
equally prompt and expedient touch
with the treasurer, whose life is being
made weary with dead beats" and

of performance, Of which they will
OFTEN be the most mcharitable and I'M
compromising critics, and the Cerberus
at the stage door, who has scarcely less
onerous duties, keeping a stern frOnk
against too susceptible "Johnnies" and
taking charge of the current and out
side business that sets toward the back
Of the house from morning to mid
night. The telephone also enables the
manager to speak with the engineer,
who regulates the steam effects on the

an extra bank of ornamental lights
inside the house when the sight of the
legend standing room only" in the
lobby warns the managerial heart.
When there is big line at the box
Office the manager may telephone to
the stage manager to hold back the
ringing up of the curtain, which saves
those already seated from being dis
turbed when the play begins and the
late corners from disappointment One
specially interesting use of the tele-
phone in the theater is that made by
the physician attending the play. He
leaves his seat number at the box Of
flee, so that if he is called up during
the performance he may be Immediate
ly warned by an usher. He can thus
find out whether the case to which he
may be summoned is urgent, or wheth-
err he can go back and enjoy the rest Of
the play.

A Hundred Reasons.

Can be given why Stuart's Dyspepsia

They are in Tablet form which retains
their good qualities indefinitely, while
liquid preparations become stale and
useless with age.
They are convenient, car be carried
in the pocket and taken when needed.
They are pleasant to the taste.
After each meal dissolve one or two
of them in the mouth and, mingling
with the food, they constitute q perfect
digestive, absolutely safe for the, most
sensitive stomach.
They digest the food before It has
time to ferment, thus preventing the
formation Of gas and keeping the blood
pure and free from the poisonous
products of fermented, half digested
food.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make the
complexion clear BY keeping the blood
pure.
They increase flesh b; digesting flesh
forming foods.
