one great advantage 10 labor of the
now rapid tendency nf competitive in

SONS and mutual benefit is that it
brings the eight hour day much neares

capital had to face continually the

was II! poor position to talk about rails

Eut is 1t the best way to begin with
strike talk and with actual striking?
Has every other method first been
thoroughly tried and found wanting:
il will be perceived. of course. that the
proposition to reduce from n ten to Il
nine hour day in mechanical industry
is equivalent, where wages remain the
same, to an increase of over 10 pcr
cent. in the cost ri the production in
that particular industry. This, as
economists know. is "A large step to

Prices This
Week.

To close out our entire stock OF
Lace Curtains at once, owing to lack
of proper display space to show to
advantage the large assortment of
curtains necessary for us to carry in
stock, we have decided to discon-
tinue our Lace Curtain department
and to close out the entire line in
the quickest possible time-have cut
the prices away down. We ask no
profit on any of the numbers, and in
many instances have marked them
away below cost. It is impossible to
give description of the many quail
ties and designs.
The low prices marked on them
will have to do the talking. The
following are some of the reductions
we have made:
At SOC, reduced from 75c.

Manager Manning VIII Play DUNCAN
on First for the Present.
The playing Of the Senators yesterday
was the last straw, and Manager Manning
decided at once on drastic measures Cap
tain William Everitt was given his release
this morning and one or more changes will
be made in the team unless decided brace
is made. Everitt has been handicapped
ever since the season opened with illness
or injuries, and as a result his playing has
been poor. His work at first yesterday
demonstrated to Manager Manning that he
was carrying much dead wood to retain
Evertt and in Justice to his patrons and
himself the release decided upon.
When seen this morning Captain Everitt
admitted that his work had been poor, but
he did not believe that his playing days
were over. If he so elects he can go with
several Western League teams, but the
chances are that he will rest for the re-
mainder of the season
Manager Manning has been keeping a
sharp lookout for players and several
trades may result within the next few weeks
or a deserving player may be ''yanked"
from the Eastern League. Until a regular
first baseman is secured. Sammy DUNCAN
will take try at the initial sack, and Dale
