In consequence of the increasing disaf-
fection in industrial circles the Car has
appointed Count SviatOpOlk- -Mirsky, who
is an under secretary at the Ministry Of
the Interior. to make a careful enquiry
into the causes of the periodical strikes,
accompanied-by disorder, at the factories
and workshops of the country.
At the opening of the enquiry it was
established that what is known as the
labor movement in other parts of Eu-
rope does not exist in Russia, as in the
latter country the demand for work
men is considerably in excess of the
supply. According to Prof. Janjoule, who
is a recognized authority on labor Ques-
tions, the Russian workman Is 70 per
cent less productive than his American
rival and 50 per cent less than the gen.
erai European craftsman.
Investigation shows that recent strikes
and disorders in Russia have not been
caused by the economic or social condition
Of the workmen, but they appear to be
brought about at the instigation of politi-
cal malcontents. This view is supported
by the fact that in many cases strikers
have included in their demands such
points as would render their position
worse rather than better. In the recent
strike at the Baltic Naval Construction
Works the men demanded AN eight-hOur
day. II this were granted, the workmen
would be the losers, as they are paid by
the piece. When this point was eX-
planned to the men they acknowledged
that their demand had no reasonable
foundation and wished to withdraw it.

The Young Americans went to Jun

The Declamatory Contest.

A declamatory contest is something
new in the happenings of the Water
town high school, and the interest
evinced in the affair brought out a
large audience last Wednesday even
ing. Tie contest was participated in
by six seniors and six juniors, each
one of whom was given an opportun-
ity to show his elocutionary skill and
ability to memorize. So far as the
latter attribute is concerned, the
program WAS given almost faultlessly
and the contestants made remark
able record, but we venture the criti-
cism that the rendition would have
been more effective had the deciaimers
placed a little more force and express
sion into their delivery, arather quiet
reading of the lines seeming to be the
method adopted except in two or three
instances. However, it was a very
creditaole performance and provided a
pieasurable evening to all in attend
ance.
The judges were Mrs. f. E. Wood
ard, Rev. A. Haupert and James B.
Murphy. They decided that Ralph
Wiggenhorn, of the junior class, was
entitled to frst place in the contest
although the marking accorded
Miss Geuevieve Mullen, of the
seniors, made her a close second.
The decision met with an outburst OF
| enthusiasm from both audience and
| contestants, and the impression
seemed to prevail that the prize-s
volume of Whittier's poems-had beer
we'll bestowed
The program, which follows, was
opened with piano solo by Miss May
Thom, and William Sproesser lent
his assistance by singing a baritone
solo in his accustomed finished man.
