DISPUTE LEADS T0 STRIKE

CINCINNATI, Feb. 16.-The brewers Of
Cincinnati, Coyington and Newport now
say that their workmen are expected to
strike next week. About $500 workmen
are involved.
Last night a few men were dropped and
a conference today of interested parties
failed to reach an agreement. National
officers Of the respective unions have been
here working in vain with the local auxil-
iaries of the different bodies involved. The
trouble comes from the dispute between
the United Brewery workers and the Sta

them shall have control and jurisdiction
over the engineers and the hremen who are
employed in the various breweries of the

ONE WOMAN's PROTEST.

To the Editor of The Globe:
IN 1 n G 0 of March q appeared
an article entitled, Women Who Loaf,
to which 1 wish to object in behalf of the
TWO classes therein attacked-the men
who spend their time most protitably IN
the public library and the women who
spend portion of theirs in the reception
rooms of the department stores. Neither
class can be called 'loafers."
'Loafers' are men who do not frequent
the public library, but congregate instead
upon the street corners, at the entrances
of saloons within their portals, or those
Of worse resorts, and there typicaIIy

ladies' table of the library-alas. too few!
In this day of prolific literature none
but the multi Millionaire is wealthy
enough to furnish his family with the
published output of even one year, and II
and abundant means to avail themselves
of the bountiful public provision. The
pity is tbs not more appreciated.
Therefore. l most strenuoUsly protest
as no doubt do hundreds of others ~
against being dubbed on that account
"loafer.'
l also belong to the class who pass
some time in the reception rooms of the
stores occasionally waiting for a friend
or for lunch or dinner hours, at which
times | join my husband at the cafes,

I have no idea that the reporter re-

Then too most women have dehmte
