Michael springing to his feet, bent his

Several boats, aided by oars as well

Michaels brow contracted, and an ex-

But before Michael had time to reply

Woman's greatest dream of beauty and
glory is when nature has chosen her to
become a mother. Every faculty is keenly
alert as she foresees the JOY, ambition,
success and the lifelong satisfaction com
fng nearer, day by day, in the dear and
innocent being so soon to see light, and
the uncertainty whether she shall see a
sweet girl or brave boy face beside her
on the pillow adds zest to her expectancy.

FEDERATION OF LABOR.
Delegates Have Lively Debate over
Carpenters and Joiners.


New Orleans. Nov. Application
OF the Brotherhood Of Carpenters and
Joiners for the revocation of the char
ter of the Amalgamated association
of woodworhers was the first thing
called uD in the labor convention this
morning. Wednesday night this mat
ter was laid over to see if the two or
CARNATIONS could not agree to ANAL
gamata. President Kidd of the wood
workers announced that unless the
carpenters would withdraw their men
from certain shops where woodwork
ors had gone on strike and the carpen-
tiers had taken their places, the matter
must be fought out on the floor Of the
convention. A long debate was about
to open when Treasurer Lennon, who
had the chair, declared that but one
speaker on each side would be allow
ed to address the convention on the
subject. Delegate Kidd, of the wood
workers, appealed from the decision
of the chair The appeal was unsuc-
cessful, and the debate, which gave
every indication Of being a long one,
was in full swing.
Another discussion was taken up in
the dispute between the Amalgama
ton of WOodworkers. The executive
council recommended that the piano
workers transfer certain machine
workers to the woodworkers within
60 days in accordance with a previous
agreement or forfeit their charter. F.
H. Murray and Charles bold, of the
piano workers spoke in favor of it.
Other speeches We're made by. both
sides. Mr.. Dold offered an amend
ment to the report of the committee,
making it mandatory upon the wood
workers as well as upon the piano
workers to reach an agreement and
that the organization falling to 50
agree shall forfeit its charter. The
amendment was carried An adjourn
ment was then taken until 2 O'Clock.

R. |. STRIKE.
Employees of Chicago Shops Are
Idle.
Strike May Spread to Shops Of
Other Railroads.

Chicago, May IA strike of black
smiths helpers Monday afternoon at the
car shops of the Rock Island railroad,
Forty seventh street and Wentworth
avenue, caused complete tie-up in the
car repairing and ear building opera
tons at the Chicago end of the Rock
Island railroad. It was impossible for
the blacksmiths to go ahead with their
work without the helpers.
The paralysis of the blacksmith de-
partment was felt ia all other branches
of the plant, which covers two blocks.
and the work of the maehinistS and
boilermakers was soon crippled.
After a short delay the master me-
chanies decided to send the blacksmiths
and many Of the other workmen home
for the day and the plant was left for
the time with banked fires.
About $50 skilled mechanics are en-
ployed at the works and while the strike
lasts most of this force viii remain in
idleness. A strong feeling of sympathy
for the strikers. however, prevails
among the blacksmithS and boilermak-
ers and machinistS and the other trades
employed in the plant at the car build
ing business
Headquarters for the strikers were at
once opened at 4430 Wentworth avenue.
Here they hocked after leaving work
and held a mass meeting that was at
tended by representa- of all trades
meeting it was set forth a length by
the leaders of the Blacksmiths' Helpers
Labor union that the reason for the
strike was the refusal of the Rock Is
land company to grant an increase of 2
cents an hour in wages, which would
make the pay 10 cents an hour. It was
claimed that notice was given to the
company several weeks ago that the
new wage scale of the union would be
enforced.
To National President John Slocum or
the Blacksmiths' union. who had just
arrived in the city from St Louis, the
strikers sent a committee with a report
of the situation at the car works. Their
action was indorsed and the support of
the national body pledged to them by
Mr.. SlOcunl, who promised that ne
would make a speech before them to-
morrow night at Blacksmiths' hall, 4430
Wentworth avenue
It is believed in labor circles that the
trouble in the Rock Island plant is but
the forerunner of series of strikes IN
the local car building shops of other
railroads. Demands for a 10 per cent.
increase in wages are to be made by
the blaeksmiths and their helpers and
many of the other trades in nearly all
the ear-building works in Chicago and
vicinity.
In this connection a committee of the
blaeksmiths in the Illinois Central shops
at Burnside held a conference late yes
terday afternoon with President SlO-
cum to settle the details of an increased
wage scale to be enforced at the Burn
side plant within the next two weeks.
