THE GOLD PEN MAKERS STRIKE.
PRosPERoUs woRKMEN Ask EoR rHINGs

PROSPEROUS WORKMEN ASK FOR THINGS
THE EMPLOYERS REFUSED TO GRANT.
The popularity of the fountain pen has caused
a great demand for gold pens. The thirteen
concerns in which this article is manufactured
III New-York have given their hands steady en-
ployment al good wages for several years but
the good days seem TO be al end. The gold
pen makers organized a union. demanded in
creased pay and other things which the en-
ployers thought unnecessary. and the conse
quence is that about one hundred of the workers,
two-thirds Of the whole number engaged in the
business. are on strike, earning no money, and
in many Instances living what the men VINO
have gone 10 work contribute 10 their support
and 10 that Of their families.
The wOrkmen in the various shops of two
classes-piece workers and day hands The
piece workers have been earning from $40 10
S:}5 a week and the day hands from S15 to SD a
week. The union demanded that manufactur-
ers should be allowed to have more than
three apprentices TO every eight journeymen EN-
pIoyed, and that apprentices should serve five
years. and they asked also large increase in
the scale Of wages and piece work prices
A dealer in gold pens who knows the situa-
ton in all its bearings said:
This is one of the instances where the men
clearly stand in their own light In the five
important gold pen shops the men are reported
TO have been perfectly satisfied with the exist
ing conditions. They were willing TO allow the
proprietors 10 employ whom they pleased. and
were satisfied with the pay they were receiving
when the strike was ordered. But being in the
union they had 10 leave the shops and now the
proprietors in seif-defence. are breaking in new
hands These viii be far enough advanced
when the busy season sets in TO keep the shops
going, and the strikers will be looking for work
elsewhere.
THE manufacturers have given the strikers TO
understand that they intend to employ whom
they please: that they viii not discriminate
against union men, but that they VIII allow no
men in their employ to be molested or coerced."

London, July N.-Not long ago a cele-
brated French woman who had been ex-
ploring the mysteries of the Sahara re
ported that she had discovered a highly
civilized Arab tribe, in which the men not
only tended the babies, but did all the
family washing. while the women made
the laws. And she brought back photo
graphs to prove 1t.
Maybe that Arab tribe was forerunner
of new state of things for us who think
we are most civilized, for it has been dis
covered in London, quite by accident, that
boys make better washerwomen than their
mothers and sisters. The discovery arose
from the effort of a Church Army officer
over here to keep a lot of young scally
wags out of mischief.
The Church Army, which is only just
beginning to be extended to the United
States is a great institution over here,
marching under the banner of the Church
of England and reaching the same class
OF people, in pretty much the same way
that the Salvation Army does. You might
call them rivals in a friendly fashion.
One of this army's lines of activity is to
enlist bad boys as they come out of jails

the services of several of the boys as soon
as they are ready to leave the home,
