Silem, N. j., Sept. 3.-Two hun
dred girls md women paraded tn o
streets today brandishing knives.
1t was not revolution led by
Aunazons. 1t was II strike of the
table girls in the canning factories.
They did not cry for blood They
shri!ly demanded five cents instead
OF four for peellng bncketful of
Tomatoes
Bat 81 their knives CLEAN ed
in 10 sunlight they loudly asserted
their demands. aud their conduct wns
80 riot0ns that the mayor and chief
OF police were called to restrain them.
On Friday the giils ut tho factory
of Jones & Ayars asked for an in
crease in wages, which was granted
to them.
On Saturd day the table girls at
Fenwick factory, operated by Starr
Bros, made similar demand, winch
was refused.
The packers have had to pay II
higher price for their tomatoes this
year than last, tin has advanced il
price, so they did not feel able to
grant the table girls demands. The
girls went-on strike. Every girl in
the Fenwiok factory followed them
out.
The strikers walked out in body
and went to Lambcrt's factory. The
women and girls there dropped their
work and joined the othere, who now
number 200.
A line Of procession was formed,
and the female brigade started on
march for tho factory of Jones Il
Ayars, TO the rythymic shout OF
"Fivo cents, five cents" while The
knife blades cleaned.
Arriving there, they were denied
admission.
This enraged some of tho leading
strikers, aud their conduct, it Is
charged, was very like strikers OF
the sterner sex. They brandished
their knives and il is said ;hat many
threats were made.
The wo nen employees ut Jones e.
Ayar's refused to take any part with
the strikers.
Starr Bros. made compromise

and work was resumed Most Of the

No Analogy.

What analogy is there between
the patriotic war of protection to
American sailors in 1912, and the
war of protection to- American citi-
zens i'll lS4S, and the present war of

None whatever. The hesitation of
the South to enlist for the conquest
of the Philippines is not from a want
of patriotism. but from All adherence
