 It is an open secret, and now pretty generally so understood, that our man. ufacturers whom the strike affects would today concede the nine hours de- mand if the machinists did not insist absolutely on the other condition of rec ognition of the union. The Cross 6 Speirs company early in the week made overtures to some 70 or 75 of their men on the nine hours basis. But as recog- nition of the union was insisted on mat ters were thus again soon at a standstill. It was mistaken and foolish carping over an eggshell on the partzof the workmen. Such il-advised conduct makes the end of the present distressing conditions still further off. The nine hours working day at prevailing wages was what these men wanted. They needed also, in justice to themselves and families, immediate employment. To refuse the offer of the company was therefore ill-advised. Had the machin- ists of this company said "Yes,", and gone to work, other manufacturers would at once have followed suit, and by the time this copy of The Examiner 1I1 doubtless be a thing of the past. Even those employees who did not favor nine hours, and have not all along favored that demand, would have hastened to get ''inside the breastworks."
 Any man who in this world is under necessity of working ten hours per day for his livelihood is, when he demands nine hours aud it is granted, beside him. self and ignorant of his own best inter- ests not to accept quickly.

 The L. $. Starrett company of Athol Mass, seem to have got ahead of their employees in the knowledge of econom- ics and surprised them April q with the following circular:
 '"The present agitation for a redlc- tion in hours of labor, of which you have of course read in the papers, has not been passed over without attention by us. In fact, we have been giving the matter serious and careful considera- tion for number of months. This mat ter has been taken up by us not on ac- count of any demand from tour en- ployees, for we have received none: moreover, we have not received even a request from you in regard to the mat ter, nor has any employee mentioned the subject to us in any way whatever, but because we believe that reducing the number of work hours per day from ten to nine will be beneficial to work. men in general, and nowhere should it be more so than with intelligent and progressive employees such as ours are''
 Stephen Blackpool said long ago that things were "a in a muddle'' to him. But he intimated that it was the busi ness of the fortunate ones to look up the cause and cure of evil, because they have the time.
 We are glad to see a firm demand shorter hours and get what it wants right away. It may be little irregular and an unorthodox way of proceeding. but it is the quickest, way and hence ought to be the American way. The circumlocution office, with its show not to do il" is foreign importation.
 The employees of the Starrett comma. ny celebrated with a big procession such as Athol never saw before. Trans parencies gave information to this ef feet: Some workmen have to strike, but the L. s. s. strikes us all right.'
 1t should never be forgotten. howev. CT, that the unions, descended from the old labor guilds, hated, misunderstood. outlawed through dark ages, have kent alive something of the ideal. But for the struggles of united workmen in the past conditions would have remained so undemocratic as to be incapable of improvement. As the more fortunate workmen owe everything which makes life worth living to the struggles of the past, do not they also owe something to their less fortunate brothers?

The mechanism is placed on the hearth of the stove, with the wick SUD- ported by wire hanger, the matches being gripped in a clamp, which holds them against the roughened surface of the wheel. As the wick has been previously soaked in oil and several matches are provided for ignition in- 2ependently of each other, there is small chance of failure.

Ever Made the Trip ?

While it has always been beautiful trip over the Lackawanna Railroad to Buffalo, yet the fact has not been so gen orally known as it has of late, and the result is that the increase of traffic is very large. One of the most talked-of pieces of scenery is the Delaware Water Gap, and it would pay any one who has never made the trip te Buffalo by way of the Lackawanna to take it and view this beautiful spot. Another great ad- vantage is the shortness of the route. It is a fact that the Lackawanna is the shortest route to Buffalo--Insurance (New York Times.

FIRE-LIGHTING DEVICE.
An Automatic COntrivance Which Makes Early Rising Unnecessary,
 and Works Every Time.

The illustration shows an automatic device for lighting fires, which has just been patented by John M. Leek, of Knoxville, Tenn, who states that the object he has in view is to provide simple contrivance by which fire may be ignited in the kitchen range at any desired time, so that the housewife is not required to rise early in the morn ing and enter cold room for the pur- pose of starting a fire. This device might also settle the question of who should get up and light the fires by eliminat ting it altogether.

This Horse works a Pump.

John Garberick, of Bucyrus, O., has a pump at his barn where he waters his stock. One of his horses would take hold of the handle with his teeth and pump until he had sufficient wa ter to quench his thirst. The other horses when thirsty would appeal to him and he would pump for them. The horse quickly wore out the pump handle, and Garberiok put in a chain pump. The horse is now studying it's mechanism, and frequently attempts to operate it.
