LABOR STRUGGLE SETTLED

Civic Federation Committee of Thirty~Six
Boasts Its First Success.
New York, Jan. l0.-A virtual set
Element of the bitter struggle for
shorter hours which has been waged
between the garment cutters and the
clothing manufacturers of the United
States for months was reached yester-
day. The question involved about 49,
600 men in New York, Boston, Phila-
delphia, Chicago, st. Louis, Cincinnati,
Syracuse, Utica, Rochester and Balti-
more. The settlement was reached
through the medium of the committee
of thirty-siX appointed by the recent
conference of the National Civic Fed
GRAFTON in this city.
The United Garment Workers de-
manded an eight-hour day nearly q
year ago. This the employers abso-
lutely refused to grant, insisting on
nine hours. President Marks, of the
manufacturers association, receded
from his demands for nine-hour day,
but offered eight and One-half hours.
To this Secretary White agreed. 1t is
understood that the garment workers
will continue efforts to secure an eight
hour day. but that they will abandon
all ideas of striking. The two Oppos-
ing officials were brought together by
the committee of thirty-SfX.

st. Joseph Residents Witness Strange
Flashes of Light at Night.
ST. Joseph, Mich, Jan. 14.-Whether
some unknown lake steamer has
burned in Lake Michigan off this port
is q question that many citizens are
discussing. Alderman August Loef
fer, accompanied by Fred Vail, while
returning to their homes in South st.
Joseph about II o'clock at night, saw
several bright flashes out on the lake
on the Chicago steamer course Mr..
Vail went to the edge of the bluff,
where he could get clear view of the
lake He saw a bright illumination,
followed by bright flashes as of flames
extending into air.
Owing to the fact that no lake boats
have been operating at this shore,
since the close of navigation marine
men are puzzled and cannot account
s. for the appearance of the flashes I'M
less they were due to the burning of
some strange vessel

Soldiers Are Like Children.

To the medical man the soldier is
very like child-that is to say, he suf-
fers from precisely the same diseases
as children. In any large army hospital
you will find rows of patients down
with measles, scariatina, diphtherla,
mumps and sometimes whooping cough.
In fact, the soldiers hospital is as like
as can be to the children's hospital.

above, expecting to change clothes,
but soon discovered that his coat and
vest were missing. He then remem-
bered having seen Edwards come
down stairs and remembered that he
had heard some one walking upstairs
during the morning.
The police were notified, and last
night Edwards was picked up. He was
