ing himself to the lamb chops and
mullins, "peop!e are growing more
and more material in their views Of
life"
at is not only spirituality, but in
tel!ectuality, that is on the wane, :"
said the judge, eying approximately
the Jersey cream that his hostess was
pouring over a saucer of strawberries
'Look for instance, at the thousands
of people who never read anything
but the newspapers, who are really
dead from mental standpoint"
The doctor and tie professor empat-
ically Endorsed the noble sentiments
Of the judge, ard the symposium pur-
sued its course, along with the course
of the break fast. 1t was Il delicious
breakfast to eat and a charming one
to look at.
A crystal vase in the middle Of the
table held stalk of white lilies; their
petals matched the snowy table cloth
and their golden stamens the embroi-
derry on the centerpiece. There was
pretty array of delicate china and
solid silver. The red Of the straw
berries and tomatoes and the brown
of chops, toast and mullins made a
nice color scheme. A bunch Of scar
let popies and feathery ferns locked
into the mirrow Of the sideboard, and
the morning wind came in through
the folds Of the fresh white curtains.
1t was a fitting place for the discus
ion of intellectually ard spiritu-
atty.
At the foot of the table sat small,
tired looking woman, who took no
part in the Symposium. Calmly and
industriously she poured coffee and
sugared straw berries, furtively watch
ing the chi.dren's table manners and
her guests needs. No one would
have dreamed that she had IA sonI
above mullins; but her brain kept up
running commentary on the re-
marks Of the judge, the doctor and the
professor.
"Intellectuality and spirituality,
indeed. You look intellectual and
spiritual, don't You? Maybe you are;
and if you men ever get SO intellec-
tual and spiritual that you don't have
to eat, then there'll be soome chance
for women to cultivate their inteliects
and spirits. Not intellectual to read

The fact that the company declared

out became a standing joke yesterday
afternoon. Going down tomorrow to

sides. This latest move on the part of

leads many to believe that an effort will
be made TO secure scab labor. The
company is trying TO get workmcn from

department. Mr.. Beck was good me-
chanic and was popular with the en-
ploycs Of that department Isaac Moore
who was formally his assistant succeeds
him as general foreman. Mr.. Moore is
not so well liked by the machinists as
his predecessor. 1t was rrunored yes

Outside of the Harlan & Hollinrswortb

Company. The Company employs three
machinsts.
When the committee appointed called
hpon the Company it was told by Mr..
Shaw that since the firm had been in
business it had worked on n scale of nnc
hours, with ten hours pay. The men de-
parted, much pleased at Mr.. Shaw's
statement, and have no grievance against
the firm.

WILL LOCK OUT
MACHINISTS
Harlan & ROllingsworth
Company Try to Fright
en- Strikers.

"All employees of the machine shop out
by reason of existing labor troubles and
who do not return to work on Monday
morning next at a. m. will consider
themselves no longer in the cOmpany's
employ and will secure their pay slips
from their foreman and call at the office
and receive the back change, BY order
Of the Harlan L. Holingsworth Com
pany."
May 24th, 1901.
y BY tile above bulletin the Harlan &
Hollingsworth Company has at last
shown its hand in regard to the demand
of the machilnsts for II nine-hour day
with ten hours pay. Officials Of that
company during several recent confer
ences with committee Of the machin-
lists absolutely refused to grant the de-
mand. The only reason which they give
for refusing the request is that the
company is working on contracts which
were taken on the ten hour work day
basis. That state of affairs machinists
think would exist and the same excuse
would probably be given if the nine-hour
day was asked for a year hence.
The Harlan 4 Hollngsworth Company
now declares its intention of locking its
machinists out. The bulletin was posted
shortly after noon yesterday on the bull
letin board at the west gate. 1t was
read by all of the shop employees as they
passed in and out of the gate.
Many of them wore smile while
reading the order, which would mean
lots II expressed in words. The general
opinion is that the bulletin is n bluff as a
last resourt to get the machinists back
to work without giving in. Its machine
shop is crowded with work which the
company would like very much to have
finished.
The indications are that not one of the
striking machinists will return to that
shop on Monday morning unless the de-
mand is granted. The men are ont for
a nine-hour day with ten hours pay and
will not return TO work under any other
conditions. 1t is not expected that any

STOPS WORK ON TORPEDO BOATS
Machinists' Strike May Delay Their

Baltimore, Md, May 24.-The machin-
lists employed in the tool repair shop at
Sparrows Point went out this morning,
as did twelve apprentices engaged in
shop No. .. Men from Sparrows pont saw
the marine department is practically tied
up and that no work is being done on the
vessels under construction there. All
work on the new government torpedo
boat destroyers, which were to be
launched this month, has been stopped,
Many of the strikers have visited Spar
rows Point since the beginning of the
strike, and will do so until its end Some
time ago the company prohibited the
entrance Of persons whom it did not
care to have visit the works, and during
Il recent strike enforced this rule strin-
gently, but since that time the American
Federation of Labor has discovered that
as long as there is United States Post
Office at the Point the company has no
right to prevent any person entering its
grounds. As a consequence, it is as
serted that the labor men and others are
privileged to enter the grounds and stay
as long as they commit no disturbance.

NUMBER OF STRIKERS REDU cED
President O'Connell Believes the
Troubls Will be Over by Monday.

Washington, May 24.-Ircsdent O Con-
nell of the International Association of
Machnists said today that the number
of strikers in that order had been reduced
from 10000 to $4,000 within the last
twenty-four hours. The situation in
! Massachusetts has been greatly relieved
and favorable reports are coming here
from over the country generally.
| President O'Connell said tonight that
| he believed the strike would be oyer by
Monday and that the machinists almost
all over the country who had gone out
| this week would return to work at nine
hours a day.
About five hundred men on the Sea
board Air Line are expected to strike to-
morrow. Representatives of the South
ern Railway machinists are in Wash
ington for conference with the manage
ment of the road tomorrow. The Balti-
more & Ohio Southwestern made an
agreement with its men today. In the
New England States there was gain
of over 1,50O men returning to work today
over those who went out, and in the
Puttsburg district over thousand went
back to work. About 500 men in the
vicinity of Cincinnati also returned to
work today.
Mr.. O'Connel heard from San Fran
cisco that all firms except the three lar
gest were willing to conccde nine
hour work day to their men, but were not
willing to sign an agreement. He has ad-
viSed the men to go back to work without
signed agreement and to keep up their
organization. The agreement would
eventually be worth nothing without Or
ganlzatlon among the men to enforce
1t If it should be broken. His advice
to the strikers is to agree. if possible,
and gain their main point, shorter hours.

DENOUNCED THE STRIKERS,
Manufacturers Have a Lively Meet
ing in New York,

New York, May 24.-Some thirty odd
men representing machine industries in
New York, New Jersey, and New Eng
land held Il meeting at the Astor House
today to consider finally the demands Of
the 5000 striking machinists in this, the
I'd district of the National Metal Trades
Association. While the demands were
considered the real object of the meeting
was to discuss the relations existing be-
tween employers and labor in the trade
the country over, and, according to one
delegate, to formally take stand against
trades unionism.
The meeting was an excited one. One
after another the de.egates rose from
their chairs and made stormy Trades
against their striking employees, whom
they called "ingrates." Each speaker
was loudly appauded.
The meeting was secret and all the
information as to what was transpring
was learned from delegate from Bridge
port, Conn.,, who came here today with
eighteen others from that city, and who
refused to state his name.
He said: THE impression seems to
have gone out across the land that the
manufacturers of machinery in this coun-
try have been kicked about so much that
they have no life left, and that n puff
of wind now is all that is required to
throw them over. | want to say that
this impression is false. 1t is true that
we have long been kicked about, but we
have awakened: yes. awakened TO the
fact that trades unionism, in its present
form. must be crushed, and crushed now.
"1n all trades there is none where EN-
ployes have been more fairly dealt with
than in ours. Our employees have not
rccprocatcd this fair treatment On the
other hand, they become their employers
dictators--using no reason nor Judgment
and attempting to simply trample our
interests under foot.
'For arbitrary action look at the
employees of the National Cash Register
Company at Dayton, Ohio. This shop
has always been called model factory.
The men received nothing but perfect
treatment Suddenly the strike fever
came upon them and they turned, with
ont fair cause, upon those who had be-
friended them. The employers stand
firm against the proposition submitted by
the men, in which they demand for a
nine hour day, the wages they received in
May, 1885,"
1t was said by one delegate that the
sentiment of this mornings meeting was
that the manufacturers close down their
indefinitely rather than submit
to the present propositions Of the en-
ployes.
