Printers Consider Question Arising
From Chicago Strike.
DETROIT, Aug, 17.-By an almost unan-
fmous vote the delegates to the 1nterna-
reiofal Typographical union today adopted
a constitutional amendment, increasing
the unions regular monthly dues 10 cents
per capital, the increase Of revenue to go
to the defense fund.
For three hours the convention, in ex-
ecutive session, considered the question
affecting the craft that grew out of the
stereotypers' strike in Chicago a year ago.
Since the strike both union and non-union
help has been employed in several Of the
allied printing trades, and means of rem
edying this condition were considered to-
day. When the session adjourned, the
matter was still under consideration, and
will be taken up at the first meeting to-
morrow.
A member of the National Boot and Shoe
Makers union asked the convention to
take action that would aid the national
council Of the shoe workers union in it's
struggle with a number of the Massa-
chusetts locals, which are at present re-
fusing to pay an increase ordered in their
per capita tax. The convention decided
that the i. T. U. would give moral and
financial assistance to the shoe workers
national council in their attempts to en-

local editors attended large banqdet in
the Griswold house this evening.

The surprise is that murder and sui

crime of the most atrociOhs character
must naturally follow in the wake OF
such prolonged outrages upon Justice
and Truth, such scheming and plot
ting for the overthrow of the republic;
such military despotism and corrup-7

question in France is NOT whether
Dreyfus Shall be convicted or acqut.-

or victorious. The -Dryfusards
arc not concerned for the punishment:
of a guilty man as they are for the
;concealment of the rottenness of the
French army and no crime is too
great to obtain this endt But in face
OF all this seeming weakness on the
part of the French nation France will
come up right and united in the final
Struggle. She will shurl herself
against her enemies with an0n-with-
stonda;bie fury. What is the force that
is holding France together today?
What preserves the republic in the
face of army threats and royalist
plots? Socialism. French socialism
] is the most conservative thing in
France and it is that socialism that
has advocated and supported the
cause of Dreyfus. It is socialism that
has compelled France to give him "a i, e
new trial. Tt has made no distinction
between Jew and Gentil but has in
sisted upon Justice for one and all
and in order to obtain this they have
suffered much. Socialism is not a be-

The conservatism of the people who
are quite satisfied that society is all
right and that reformers are: a pes
ilent or foolish brood, is based, on moth
ing but intense egotism and intense
selfishness. Their creed practically
amounts to this: eve have good
homes. good clothes and good times;
therefore, the world is all that it
should be- Added TO this egOtism
and selfishness is frequently a stupid
ignorance. 1t would be irritating if
it were not amusing to hear the con-;
descending speech in which the con-
servatives deign to notice the radi-
'twell-meaning but impractical"
sscranks,'' s'dreamers'' these are their
phrases. And yet nothing is more en-
phatically proven by all history than
this thing that all the practical pro-
gress of mankind las been initiated
and accelerated by those ''dreamers.;'
And all the progress of the race has
been made with the conservatives of
each generation hanging on and pull
I ing backward. The conservative, in
Z fact, is the dreamer. He is as use-
less in the scheme of things as a
fifth wheel on a. wagon. He lives in
tine past and can only see backward.
The conservative of one generation
camps always by the embers Of tue
watch fires which the radicals Of the
generation before him lighted and lnft
behind. He is always full of the be-
lief that he is the leader of events.
when in truth the poor Ounce is al
ways a days march ibehind. 1t is
such men as Morris, Ruskin, Marx,
Bellamy and other like great and
clear-eyed souls that make the world
better and more beautiful for the
generations to come. They are the
5 real builders. the practical workers.
for, the work of their hands shall not
crumble nor fail into ruin.

The local fire insurance situation, which was thrown into a hubbub by the resolu- ton at the last meeting of the board of trade looking to the placing of a large amount of insurance in companies outside of the Southeastern Tariff association, re- mains practically unchanged.
 The committee appointed to investigate the practcability of the proposed move ment have taken the matter up through local agents and expect some favorable developments in the next few days. Mem bers of the committee were seen yesterday and stated that it was not the intention of the board of trade to give the local agents slap-in the face. but that an effort would be made to place the insurance through local agents if it could be done
 It is the general sentiment among the members of the board of trade that the recent action of the Mississippi authorities in declaring the Southeastern Tariff asso-

DEPUTY CONSTABLE BURKE
Alleged That He Used Improper Meth
 ods in Making Warrants

Grave accusations are being made at the pc:ice headquarters against J. s. Burke a deputy constable in Beat 21.
 It is claimed that MT. Burke has been using his office as a means of flching money from ignorant citizens.
 Chief of Police Austin and Officer John son stated yesterday that two negro women had told them that Burke had served warrant on them and had then offered to yded they would pay him $S. the amount of the costs. These women were Minnie Griggs and Sarah Taylor. Both of the women say that they refused the offer and were in court yesterday morning to answer charges. against them.
 The case against Sarah Taylor had never been docketed and she was present to an- swer charge which had never been placed against her
 In the case of Minnie Griggs, she was present at the call of her name and pleaded not guilty. The charge of yagrancy was dismissed by Judge Feagin. Melvina John son. the prosecutriX, was taxed with the costs and when asked about the matter she claimed to have never known Minnie Griggs, and did not know that she had sworn out warrant for her Officer John son says she told him that Burke had come to her and said that Minnie had cursed and abused her to him, and that she ought to have her arrested. She finally consented to sign a paper he had. but did not know that it was to have Minnie Griggs arrested for vagrancy. She was placed in jail until the costs were paid but was afterwards released by the judge on her own recogni- Zance to appear in court this morning. ,

STRIKE NOT OFF
o'Keefe Says Miners at Ishkooda May
 Go Out Any Time

District Master Workman Andrew J. O'Keefe, of the Knights of Labor. denies that the strike at Ishkooda ore mines has been declared off, or that it will be until the Robinson Mining company signs an Agreement with the order He claims that the company is paying the advance asked for. and that he has granted his men the ! privilege of accepting work at the ad- vanced wages as matter of necessity, but that they ready at a moments notice to quit work if the company persists in re- fusing to recognize the order.
 MT. O'keefe claims that inasmuch as the Knights of Labor is a secret organiza- tion the company has no means of ascer- taining who belongs to the order, and that at the present time many members if the order are on the pay roll of the company.
 He intimates that other interests may be drawn into the matter unless something is done, but that the officers and men are acting with forbearance in order to settle the trouble amieably. MT. O'Keefe was seen by an Age-Herald reporter last night and said
 '1he strike at Ishkooda is on it's merits It Is for higher wages-that which would be commensurate with the price paid for labor elsewhere. It was brought about by the raise of wages granted by other work ing men in this district and was most natural
 The order of Knights of Labor had two local assemblies at Ishkooda. They were in the minority among the miners there, but had the right of assistance and protec- tion from the district. They brought their trouble to the district assembly, and tl.e district in open session voted to take up their cause and henceforth it became a district matter, the locals ceasing to have any further jurisdiction. The Robinson Mining company was appealed to and ad- mitted the justice of the claim, but pleaded long term contract with the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company which precluded an advance.
 "A lawless depreciation was committed at Isakooda and the Robinson Mining com pany sought to fasten the blame upon the order, for they have arrested only Knights of Labor We deny the charge and will allow the courts to pass upon the cases against our members before repudia ting them. We have the right and do believe that other persons who Were not members of the order might be guilty. We charge that the unfortunate circums tance has worked to the advantage of the mining company, and to our detriment, in the set clement of the issues involved"

 At the local office of the Southeastern Tariff association in the Chalifoux build- ing no information could be obtained as to the probable action of the association in the premises.
 It is claimed that a large number of in- surers who are not members of the board of trade have expressed a willingness to Join in the movement, which threatens to precipitate a rate war.

Waffle Gregory, a negro washwoman, was found dead early yesterday morning in her room in Twenty-fifth street, be- tween Eighth and Ninth avenues.

In viewing the situation President Nat Baxter, of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company, said yesterday:
 "The market continues very active and taking iron freely, some of it for delivery through the whole of next year. Most of the sales have been for the first six months but much of it runs throughout the entire year. Prices advanced on the last day of August 50 cents and on Septem- ber ,, 75 cents. The market is in most healthy condition"
 The prediction is freely made that within the next month No. 1 will be selling for $23.00 per ton. The advance has been very steady, with a raise of from 50 to 75 cents per ton. Should this advance continue the price will easily hit $2O within a month or earlier.
 Iron experts say there is nothing that can stop the upward trend and that it is obliged to continue.

Local Markets stagnant

The local markets have been practically stagnant during the past week. In gro- ceries, eggs have increased half cent in price but no other notable changes have occurred. There has been no difference in the price of staple groceries, such as flour, sugar and coffee. Lard and clear rib sides remain the same.
 In the grain market prices have also re- mained stagnant. Hay, oats, bran and cotton seed meal bring the same figures as last week.
 Sanders, Swan & Co. quote middling cot ton at 519, the same price that it brought last week. The fieecy staple does not fiuc tuate in price to any great extent at this time of the year.
 There is not much business being done in local stocks and bonds, with no change in the quotations First National bank stock is still bid at 115, with nothing offered.
