saying. among other things: "You
and / will no: think of it till it Is our
turn to die and then we will view tht
world with it's many temptations.
Every body is sacred and holy in the
eyes of God and the Catholic church
evar has that thought in view. our
children are brought up in this faith;
taught that the purposes of the sac
raments are to sanctify the body. But
the Catholic church goes further and,
blesses the body All the circum-
stances surrounding thJ sacramerts
have the il significance to The Catholics ;
mind. They bring to him most forci-
bly, the thought that they all should
strive after the things spiritual: for
wha. profits Il man If he gains the
whole world and at last loses his own
soul. 1t gains for him but misery and
SORROW, while. on the othe" hand. there
is a beautiful reward for the life we'll
spent
Father Griffin then told of the doc
trine of purgatory, and pronounced q
beautiful eulogy over the deceased.
The following members of the
knights Of Columbus acted as pail
bearers: Hon. j. j. O'Neill, =. y. Car

EXTENSION OF THE STRIKE.
The Day Hands Join the Boys of the
Night Shift in Sympathy.

At noon yesterday nearly all the girls
and boys employed at the silk mill of
the Klots Throwing company, at Simp-
son, left their work out of sympathy
for the boys on the night shift, who
struck on Friday night. and also be-
cause they have a few grievances of
their own to settle and feel that this is
an opportune moment. Shortly after
the noon hour a large number of the
strikers We're visible all over the main
streets of this city, either going home
or standing in knots discussing their
grievances.
Manager Marcus Frieder of the silk
mill. who is in charge here. declares
that today the mill will be shut down
and what work the Klots company has
will be shipped to their other two mills.
one at Scranton and the other at Fred
ericksburg. Va. Enough of the help re-
Trained from striking to enable Mr..
J'rieder to get out what work there is
on hand by tonight and then the local
plant will be closed down indefinitely,
so Mr.. Frieder says.
1t has been claimed by the manage
ment that they were running their mill
at loss because of a depression in the
trade. A very prominent citizen Of Car
bondale, who is in n position to know
and has studied the conditions of labor
throughout this section very thorough
ly, said to a Tribune man yesterday:
1T Is all very we'll for Manager
Frieder to say that the silk mill has
hren running at Il loss, but it hardly
seems probable if that We're the case
that the company would be putting up
another and larger mill beside the pres
cht one. If they are so chartably in
Ciined as to run their business at Il loss
in order to help their employees, why
don't they give them wages enough to
sustain life" l am interested in a girl
of fifteen years old, whose parents
death led kind friends to take her in.
and last summer they thought ii would
be q good thing for this girl to learn
self-Support. So they sent her to the
silk mill to work. BY working twelve
nnd fourteen hours a day she got for
Ter wages for one month $l.21. Then
she was taken out and sent to school
again. | know from personal expert
enCe that it is practically impossible
for a girl up there to earn more than
l15 to SIS q month, and even the fore
ladies. except the oldest in service, do
2tot get more than 800. No girl could
board and sustain herself on such
wages unless she lived at home with
her parents. Somehow or other, this
company has the best faculty for
making boys and girls work for moth
Ing that l ever heard of.
The boys, too. rarely earn over SO a
week, for seventy-two hours OF hard
cork, or about four cents an hour for
boys Of from sixteen to nineteen years
Of age. If the company does shut down
as d result of the strike it can't do
much harm. But the company will not
ehut down, you may be sure of that
Another said that the stockholders
have been receiving good dividends
from this mill and they will not allow
X to close.
