incorrect. If these reports true there

the fight to stay and will never surrender.

will fight until our last drop of blood is
spilled, The British soldiers certainly
plucky fighters, but they do not know the right

.|RONMEN ARE
~ ~ MAKING GAINS
Union and RisdOn Works
Are Daily Increasing
Their Forces.

The echoes of the. strike which dis
turbed the public mind for so many
weeks are fast dying away. The hum of
industry grows louder as the hours pass,
and in a few more lays the accustomed
industrial activity will have been re-
stored. The teamsters are gradually Sc
curing their old places, while along the
water front the thousands of men who
went out on sympathetic strike are be-
ginning to speak of the disturbance as
something that happened long ago and
is sooE to be forgotten.
While the strike of the machinists is
still on, there are signs of disintegration
among the strikers, and the members of
the metal trades express the belief that
the dispute will ere long be settled. The
various iron works, notably the Union
and Risdon, are making daily additions
to their forces During the past week
the Union Iron Works gave employment
to nearly one hundred new men, some of
that number being union machinists who
went on strike in May last. The num-
ber of new men admitted to the works
yesterday was twenty-seven, and of these
TWO were union machinists The Risdon
force was increased on Saturday and
yesterday by twenty men. All of these
are new arrivals from the East. 1t is
reported that other iron institutions have
made corresponding gains during the past
few daVS

Insist on Ten Hours.

The members of the Metal Trades AS
sociation are exceedingly active. AT
their meeting last week resolution was
adopted pledging all members of the as
sociation to stand firm for ten hours as
a days work. In other words, it was re-
solved to continue the fight against nine
hours with firmer resolution than ever.
The arrival of machinists from the East
in increasing numbers has been a source
of great encouragement to the ironmen
and it is quite likely that there will be
little wavering in their disposition to
fight the strikers to the bitter end.
The teamSterS who are returning to
the strike. They declare that the non
union drivers are giving up their jobs
gradually, and that in a few weeks none
there is some truth in this is evidenced
by the fact that many of the non-union
teamsters who collected their bonuses
from the Draymen's Association yester-
day announced their intention to leave
the city or seek some other avenue of
employment. 1t is estimated that over
125 non-union teamsters are still at work
but how long they will continue to face
the hostility of the union teamsters re-
mains to be seen.
1t was reported at the headquarters of
the Draymen's Association yesterday
that fully 100 men had been taken back
by the draymen during the day. There
ere still goo men who are looking for re
little likelihood that their wish will be
gratifed. The larger draymen are not
running up to their full capacity. While
increased the demand for teams and
men, it has not been sufficient
to force the draymen to place all their
trucks in commission
Will Protect Non Union Men.
The Draymen's Association has decided
to force the union men to abide by the
agreement not to interfere with non-union
drivers, and will discharge summarily
any one impeding hampering a fellow
employe in any way.
Matters along the water front are
gradually resuming their ante-strike
state. Those of the regular stevedores
engaged in discharging coal vessels are
still hanging back on account of the re-
duction in remuneration, but it is not
expected that this hesitancy will con-
tinue in the face of the present surplus
idle labor. The pile-drivers are also
holding out for the right to fill foreman
positions with union men.

JENNIE JUNE IS DEAD.
Mrs. croly, Writer and Organizer OF
Women's Clubs, Passes Away.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S-Mrs. "Jen.
ME June" Croly, Journalist and or
ganizer of women's clubs, died Mon.
day at her home after an illness,
due to weakness of the heart, last
ing since the early part of Novem-
ber
Only few days ago Sorosis, the
first woman's club in America, which
Mrs. Croly founded more than thirty
years ago made arrangements to de-
vote to her use from its treasury
such funds as would keep her In COM
fort during the remainder of her life.
This action was made necessary bv
the recent failure of Mrs Croly's in
yestments.
In 1855. before any other woman
had entered the field of journalism,
writing under the name of Jennie
June" she gained a place on .hc staff
of Noahs Sunday Times. She be-
came a special writer on fashions,
and was the first to undertake the
syndicating system now so generally
in use.
In 1857 she began to supply the
leading papers of the country with n
fashion and woman's gossip letter.
and in this way her nom de plume,
Jennie June" became a household
word
- Mrs. Grel, wa,-.sza- years e,id. On
her SEVENTEEN birthday the Women's
Club of New York, whose members
call her the mother of clubs" gave
her several receptions. She not only
founded Sorosis, but was president
the honorary president Of the New
York Federation of Women's clubs.
She was also. at the time of her
death, president of the Women's
Press club
