Among them was one who had written a

How the Great Financier Looks
When Seated at His Desk.

Any one may watch ]. Pierpont Morgan
almost any day as he sits at his desk in
his famous Wall-street office. The great
fnancier, during the greater part OF each
day, sits before an open window a few
feet above the pavement and in plain view
of the throngs which surge up and down
Broad street. No one should have the least
trouble in recognizing him. The burly ng-
ure of the great inancier, his strong ges-
lures and various mannerisms identify
him instantly. And no one who has once
seen him ever forgets him. His desk n at

OF his offices, counting from Wall street.

window serve as a frame for this remark

SO strong and characteristic however, that

distance what Is employing his time. When,

forward in his chair with both arms rest

Another very characteristic mannerism

his thumb ana first finger. As ne becomes
excited he repeats this gesture more and
more vigorously.
Mr.. Morgan may often be seen with his
arm resting on his desk and staring
straight ahead Of him out OF the window.
II Is an indication that he rs very deeply
absorbed. In reading a letter the great
fnancler either sits far back IN has chair,

It Is too early TO predict with confidence
regarding the outcome OF the strike. but
It Is safe TO say that the refusal Of the
members of the Amalgamated Association
In the Western mills TO go out has had a
discouraging influence upon those leading
the movement. despite their hopeful words.
In some plants the strikers have been able
TO suspend work. The Carnegie mills, near
Pittsburg. which the Shaffer board insisted
should be unionized by being put under the

sides claim the initial victory. but IL is clear
that the combination has rather the best
grounds for such an assumption.
