GREAT STRIKE PREPARED.
SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND
MEN MAY BE AFFECTED.
TEN HOURS PAY FOR NINE HOURS WORK
DEMANDED-ORDER SENT OUT
YESTERDAY.

Washington May PA general strike In
volving directly one hundred and fifty thousand
machinists and indirectly five hundred thousand
men in metal working trades. is expected to
take place May 20 unless some arrangement
is effected in the mean time. This is the state
nlent made tonight by President James O'Con-
nell OF the International Association OF Machin-
lists who has his headquarters in this city.
The demands Of the men. the refusal Of which
threatens to precptate the strike. Mr.. O'Connen
said. for working day of nine hours and
an increase of 1919 per cent in wages in
other words. ten hours pay for nine hours work
ne matter. he said has been under considera-
tIen for some time and every effort has been
made by the Machinists' Association to avoid
resorting to strike but such action. he says
is now necessary II the workingmen hope TO at
tain the end they striving for.
Some time ago, through the efforts of the In
ternational Association. the latter secured from
the National Metal Trades Association, the en-
ployers of about % per cent of the men who
would be affected by the strike, concessions by
WnlCh general WOrh uty OF nine houTS was 10
become operative on May 30 of this year. The
question of an increase of wages. however, or Its
equivalent the granting of ten hours pay for
nine hours work remained unsettled.
The representatives OF the Metal Trades Asso-
citation and the International Association of Ma
chinsts held conference in New-York yester-
day at which an attempt made to reach
an agreement on the wage matter that the
strike proposed for May 20 could be avoided.
Mr.. O'Connell. however. says that the employers
refused to arbitrate the question of wages
tionally, but that they expressed willingness
that this matter should be settled by employers
locally. each Individual case to be treated as
such.
This method is unsatisfactory the repre-
sentatives OF the Machinists' Association who
express the opinion that this would prolong in
definitely the settlement of the question. Upon
his return to the city Mr.. OConnen promptly
prepared the order for the strike and it was
sent out by mail to-day
Mr.. O'Connell says that two hundred firms.
whose employees represent probably 20 per cent
OF the five hundred thousand men who will be
affected by the proposed strike, have signed
agreements for the reduction in hours of labor
and the increase OF pay that the agitation on
the subject already has benefited the men ma
terially.
For prudential reasons the executive commit
tee has determined at this time apply the
strike order to the railroads. Whether 1t will
be done in the future will depend altogether on
developments.

Caught yellow Annded.

A rich American. residing in the St.
Georges quarter iii Paris, had been for
some little time past the victim of sys-
tematic thefts. Bank notes and money
not left locked up disappeared reg
ularly. NJ. Corvette, the commissary of
police, was informed of the robberies.
He found it would be impossible to keep
an effective watch on the bedroom where
the thefts occurred, but he adopted a
stratagem which turned out successfully,
"a small vial containing mixtures of
picric acid and fuschine was placed in a
metal case for holding gold, and few
napoleons were placed on top. In order
to get out the gold the metal case had to
be held upside down, and then, of course,
the chemical preparation would run out
and stain the thief's hands a bright and
indelible yellow. AS soon as some of the
gold was missed NJ. Cornette summoned
all the servants to his presence. The
Wallets fingers betrayed him. Realizing
the uselessness of denying when caught
yellow handed. he confessed and was
duly locked up.

Disqualified For once.

During warm gubernatorial canvass
In Kentucky one Of. the candidates
found himself in the mountain districts
Il long way from town, very tired and
hungry. He stopped at a little cabin
on the mountain side and, introducing
himself as candidate for the govern
orship, asked for something to eat.
The woman gave him a much better
meal than he had expected and wound
up the repast with a pie of the most
delicious flavor. The candidate quickly
cleared his plate and then said, with
his most engaging smile:
MADAM, this is most delicious pie,
but declare that | do not know what
fruit this is. Certainly nothing like 1t
grows down where l come from. Will
you have the Kindness to tell me what
it is?"
The woman looked at him for a full
minute, her astonishment at last giving
way to supreme scorn.
'Where did you come from" she
finally found voice to ask. "You say
you're up for governor an don't know
huckleberries! Pears to me you amt
fifteen for office. Don't know huckleber-
RESP
1t was crisis in the candidates life,
and he fingered another hour, so the
story goes at all events, and made pro-
fuse explanations before he was salts
fed that his opponent would not get
the vote of that cabin.

pue1ists VINO pid Not Kim.

The two most famous duelists who
never killed their men known to his
tory are the Chevalier de Saint Georges,
a mulatto, who was reputed to be the
finest fencer in France, and in more
recent time NJ. Georges de Labruyere,
who constituted himself the champion
of Nine. Seberine, editress of the Girls
du Peuple. Both these champions of
the sword fought scores of duels in
which severe wounds were given and
taken, but both were humane and chiv-
alrous and never took life, as their skill
would have enabled them to do.
In his duel with Lieutenant de Nell
vile M. Labruyere was run through
the right lung and almost Immediately
afterward pierced his opponents left
lung. Both had to be carried off the
field, but they ultimately recovered. In
this connection it may be noted that
the ridicule in which certain English
papers indulge in with regard to French
and Italian dueling is generally quite
beside the point. Every duelist takes
his life in his hand and can practically
kill his adversary when he chooses, but
if the stroke is not made according to
the laws of fence he is certain to be
killed himself in doing it. This is why
the drawing of blood is considered to
be satisfaction for injured honor.

Our Country's Flag.

The idea of expressing the union of
the different colonies by stripes in flag
became familiar to every one very early
in the history of the Revolutionary war,
and in 1775 and 1776 flags were used
bearing 10 stripes; but the first legally
established national emblem was that
adopted by congress June IA, 1777, which
provided that the flag of the Ii United
States should be IS stripes, alternately
red and white, and the union of Ii stars,
white in a blue field. This form was al
tered by act of Jan. 10, 1874 which pro-
yided that after May /, 1795, the flag
of the United States should consist of
Is stripes, alternately red and white,
and Is stars, white in a blue field. In
1918, however, act of April 4, the flag
was restored to its original form of 10
horizontal stripes, alternately red and
white. the union TO consist Of 20 stars,
white in blue field, one star to be add
ed to the union on the admission of ev-
cry new state, the addition 70 be made
on July following such admission. This
flag went into effect July 1, 1918, and is
the present prescribed national emblem Of
the United States of America.-C Chicago

Invcnted by women.

Nearly all the modern appliances for
making housekeeping easy have been the
inventions of American women. A
clothes wringer. now known all over the
world, was the invention of a negro char
woman in Washington. A self closing
bread bin is one of the American wom-
ans inventions. 1t is cylindrical bin
that closes itself the instant the bread is
put into it. 1t is also used for cake and
biscuits. Then there is the pea Smelling
machine, the cabbage cutter the various
vegetable slicing machines, the self act
ing knife washer, which keeps the han
dies from being put into the hot water
and loosened. the egg breaker, the fruit
and vegetable peeing machines, the
raisin seeders. Patents for all these
household necessities have been issued by
the American patent Office to women.
An American woman also 1t was who
invented the method of preserving fu-
neral wreaths. This was as far back as
1868, and now in the woman's depart
ment of the patent Office there are on ex-
hibiton wreaths preserved by that par
ticular method since that year. One Of
the best methods of embalming was also
