by sudden increase in the demand
for the ensign of the Transvaal Re-

SITUATION OF THE
 PRINTERS STRIKE No New Developments Have
 Taken Place EFFECTED OFFICES IDLE Proprietors Say Places Wi Be Filled, While Printers Contend That They Will Win Out-Neither Side
 Will Talk.

There are no new developments in the printers strike and a settlement of the trouble between the printers and the sev- eral job printing companies seem to be no nearer than it was the day before. All of the offices affected by the strike were idle yesterday, but the proprietors claim they will be able to start up again within a few days. The printers claim, on the other hand, that they have checkmated all the efforts of the employers to fill their places with new men and that the shops cannot start up until the difference with the union printers shall have been adjusted
 Neither side would give out a statement for publication yesterday, although one or two individuals speaking for themselves alone did make a partial statement of the grievances. An Age-Herald reporter en- deavored to get interviews with both sides. but was informed that they had nothing to give out.
 It was stated, however, that the job of- fees expected to have new men here in few days to take the places of the strikers. The union men say that it will be impossi- ble for their places to be filled with com petent men.
 At the headquarters of Typographical Union No. 104, in the Metropolitan Hotel annex, were gathered quite number of printers last night and all seemed hopeful of winning the fight in which they are engaged. District Organizer c. J. Deaton said that he had nothing to give out as the printers did not care to engage in news paper controversy. He seemed to be con- fident however, of the ultimate success of the printers in their struggle for higher wages,
 The Herald-Journal and the Workman of Bessemer signed the union scale yester- day and are reported as fair shops by the Typograp phical Union.
