first of July 18th. the last of August
10th.
The number of men now ont in all
affected departments of the United

Shaffer'S first order affected the men
of the American Steel Company. the
American Steel Hoop Company and

The mills of these companies had been
thoroughly unionized, and. with the
exception of perhaps 1000 men. every
Amalgamatel man quit his work. car

with unbounded enthusiasm. Unlike
his Austrian mother, whose aversion
TO this form Of sport is notorious, he
appeared to follow the Corrida with
the most keen interest and satisfaction,
thereby showing himself a true Span

known as "sangre torera," that Is to
say, bull fighting blood" At the

particularly sanguinary, eight bulls
having been killed, and twenty horses
ripped up, the young king presented
handsome gifts to the leading toreros,

One of the great packing houses of
Chicago has prohibited profanity upon
Its premises. The primary purpose of
the order was in itself excellent, name
ly, to protect employees against abuse
by swearing foremen or overseers; but
it cannot fail also to exercise a good
influence over all those who work for
the company, especially the younger
men. In commenting on the order the
Chicago Post truthfully says: cit is one
of the better signs Of the times that
in these days the men at the head of
affairs are presumed to be, II not
Christians, at any rate gentlemen.
They find ways enough of making
their wishes ineligible and effective
without resort to bluster or swagger
or the indecencies of blasphemy."
