Frank Grimes. back from the national

anything to do with it, but the knowing
ones say that he has not recovered from
the Ocerawfng influence of the effete civil

Grimes says Senator Burton Is also gain

It is Buttons plan to do everything in
his power to support the administration.

Now the sharps say that it is this great
social gulf that showed itself and caused
Mr. Grimes not to get the private secre~

to the senator is quite a different thing
from being a subordinate in Washington.
Mr.. Grimes does not care to discuss the

FACTORY GIRLS STRIKE.
-Four Hundred and Fifty Employees Of
St. Joseph Manufacturer Quit

st. Joseph, Mo-, March 12.-Four hun
bred and fifty girls, employees Of j. ).
Britain Dry Goods company's factory,
Third and julie streets, struck Monday.
Police protection was applied for by the
management and granted. The strike
may spread to other factories. Superin-
tendent Phillips, who recently came here
from Terre Haute, Ind, introduced a new
machine by which the girls could do
twice the amount of work done former
~. The new machine has two needles
instead of one. The girls did not object
to this thinking they would get as much
pay as before. The management claim
ed that a girls pay at the end of the
week would amount to as much as it
had under the old system. Twelve girls
who had made the test claim they were
urged to state that the plan suited them
perfectly. This they refused to do and
they called a meeting and ordered
strike. Every girl on the shirt and over
all floor quit work.
