BREWERY WORKERS
WANT SHORTER DAY
STRIKE IS ON IN BOTH HOME
BREWERIES.
Want Increase of Wages and the Nine
Hour Day-Attempts to Settle
Have So. Far Failed.

There is a strike on in both local
breweries Some time ago the brew
cry workers union submitted a de-
mand to the brewers asking for an in
crease in wages of $500 per week and
a reduction in the hours of labor to
nine, hours per day. But little atten-
ton was paid to the demand until
Tuesday evening when at the request
of the union the executive committee
of the Trades Assembly called on the
brewers. In the mean time and with
out the knowledge of the executive
committee of the Trades Assembly the
union had decided to go on strike
Wednesday morning unless the de-
mands were agreed to. The executive
committee worked laborious1y with
the: brewers and secured. a concession

understood that the matter would; be
taken up later, but to the commit

the conference by a. member of the I'M
ion that a strike would be on in the
morning..
Every member of the union is out,
and at this writing no further attempt
has been made to bring about a settle
ment. The union will no doubt win,
for a brewery is usually rather reluct-
ant about entering into a war with a
trade union. Hasty action, however,
often does an organization more harm

LEG IS BRO En-
FROM ASSAULT
b. j. EIDE OF PAINTERS UNION
ATTACKED ON HIS WAY HOME.
Two Strangers Meet Him and in Anger
Strike Blow Which Puts Eide I'm

Assault.

B. J. Eide, members of the Painters
union, Labor Day committee, Trades
Assembly and very prominent in labor
circles was knocked down on his way
home Wednesday evening, and as a
result of the fall sustained broken
leg.
Mr.. Eide was in company with a.
friend when two men accosted him on
Second Avenue West near Superior
street. =.
"Where's Dutchy?" asked one.
Mr.. Eide did not answer. The stran-
ger. asked the question three or four
times and finally Mr.. Eide said, "Oh,
he went home long ago."
The stranger called him liar, where
upon two or three blows were struck.
Eide was knocked down, and fell in
such way that his right leg was
broken just above the ankle and he
rolled out into the gutter unconscious.
By that time a crowd from the oppo-
site side of the street who thought the
men where joking crossed over. Eide
regained consciousness and a hack was
summoned when he was taken to his
home.
Mr.. Eide declined to talk of the affair
at all. He stated several times that he
did not know his assailant

DULUTH LABOR AGENTS HIRING

Seventy-fivc Shipped Wednesday Even

Strike Is on-WiM be Bar
rfcaded at the Mines.

There is a strike on at Cripple Creek.
The miners there want better working
conditions. On account of a clash be-
tween the judicial> and the executive
departments of the state Of Colorado
there is some political excitement on.
The governor believed that troops were
necessary at Cripple Creek to maintain
peace and order. The Judge does not
see the necessity just now. In any
event troops have been sent and now
there is hitch between the military
and civil authorities. The miners are
still hopeful for success, in spite of the
state troops.
On Wednesday of this week IS men
were shipped from Duluth to take the
places Of the striking miners. Many
Of the men did not know that a strike
was on, and perhaps will not until
they are locked within the barricades
Of the mine owners, where there will
be no possible chance for escape until
they shall have worked out the price
Of their railroad fare.
Two employment agents were COM
planned of to the police.
Joseph Sheehy's agency at 53011 West
Superior street known as the Irwin
City Employment agency and Gilbert $
agency, at No. s Fifth avenue west,
were the establishments complained Of.
The men said they paid 81 each for
jobs at Cripple Creek, Colorado, The
employment agencies, they said, took
their 81 and afterwards said they would
not ship them west unless they had
baggage. All of them agreed that at
the time of paying their money for the
positions neither of the employment
agencies said anything tbout baggage.
In fact, one Of them claimed that he
asked the agent particularly if baggage
was necessary, and he said it was not.
The men demanded their 81, but that
the agents, they. :elaimed, declined to
pay it over.
While the story was being related
at headquarters a policeman 'phoned lii
that Sheehy was ready to pay back
the 81 to each of his customers.
AS Chief Troyer sent detective out
to look the matter up he said: "There
ought to be some way Of regulating
these employment agency men when
they step outside the limits allowed

LOCAL LABOR NOTES.

On Sunday Oct. 3rd., there will be a
meeting of the commercial telegraph
of Duluth and Superior in one of the
local halls for the purpose of organizing
a lodge of the Commercial Telegra piers
Association here. Speeches will be made
by several local labor men.
James S. Abbot of the Engineers I'M
ion is attending as a delegate the COM
vention of the National Union of Steam
Engineers now being held in Wheeling,
West Virginia. The local union has
shown considerable enterprise in send
ing delegate to it's national conven-
ton. The union has experienced a
splendid growth during the past year,
and it felt that it should encourage it's
national union by sending a delegate.
Thee meeting of the Federated
Trades assembly Friday evening con-
sisted largely Of routine work and a
sort of coincidence convention on the
way Jupiter Pluvius had been spelling
the Labor day events. Only two new
delegates presented credentials. They
were J. NJ. Brown, of the Steam En-
gineers' union, and C. w. F. Hegg, of
the Retail Clerks union.
i
The assembly indicated it's intention
to warn Duluth union labor men
against going to Colorado to partici-
pate in the mining situation out there.

Street Planning.
From the Architectural Record.

from ln0 ATculttctuiai ANoSoiu'
In all street planning there must be re-
gard for the through lines OF travel as
surely as for the local. and 1t is these
through courses which scattered improve
ments fail to benefit to any great extent
The through travel, in its usually heavy
volume demands arterial thoroughfares
that shall be wilde. uniform in their width.
straight, of easy gradiant and on the direct
line between important foci These require
ments alone involve a certain dignity of as
pect. To gain the best spectacular results,
however, civic art must be mindful also of
other factors Perhaps the most notable
Of these in the business district is the archi-
tectural effect.
The relation between the architecture and
the street plan is reciprocal. Each can do
so much for the other that while, on the
one hand. a street may be opened or Wild
ened simply that monumental structure
may be the better seen, on the other hand
the precise location OF a new street may be
determined by the position of existing
structures that are prominent. according
as they would or would not close the vista
Of the street. and SO enhance its beauty.
For civic art does not hold mere distance
to be fine. It would set up visible limits,
or at least accents, and its ideal would be
to proportion the breadth OF the thorough
fare to the distance between these limits
or main accents.

Shirt Waists and Tub Skirts.

From the chicago Inter ocean.
If the average man had MS way the aver
age woman would never abandon the shirt
waist and the tub skirt, because to him she
looks better in this than in any other at
tire. The shirt waist and the tub skirt, in
their various styles and patterns, have been
with us since the halcyon days of '93. 1t
is common saying, and a true one. that
American women were never more charm
ing than in that glorious summer ten years
agone, when, shirt-waisted. tubskfrted and
saifor-hatted, they lent light and beauty to
the avenues and palaces of the wondrous
white city.
That these garments have held their own
through a decade against all attempts to
dislodge them is sufficient proof of their
firm grip upon the good opinion and af-
lection of both men and women. No other
style in woman's dress during the last half
century has stood approved for so long a
time. The archery jacket, the tennis
Jacket, the long line OF Victorian bodices,
the Dolly Warden" the afghan wrap"
the litter hoop. the founced balloon skirt.
the kangaroo hustle, the ''pullback' and
all the rest have had their brief season
But millions OF women who are wearing
shirt waists and tub skirts now were school
girls when they first came into vogue.

Age of Wireless Telegraphy.

From the American Syren and Shipping.
The present legitimate field for wireless
telegraphy is intership communication be-
tween ship and shore and the cable field.
Within two years one-half Of the steam
vessels of 1000 tonnage throughout the
world will be equipped with wireless te-
legraphy apparatus. Every vessel Of the
great powers will be equipped. Within five
years each lighthouse will be a wireless sta
ton. and the government will establish hun
dreds of warning stations fitted with wire
less apparatus instead of lights at a negi-
gfble fraction of the cost of establishing
lighthouses. Weather reports, storm warn
ings. sailing orders will be given to all
lake vessels and to seagoing craft 200 miles
distant from our coasts. Every craft can
at least carry a receiver capable Of record
ing warning signals, at nominal cost,
without operators, and independent of fog.

be kept in constant touch with their offices

closest bonds. The world is about to wit

The Bible.


OF all the books that season by season
are poured out from the teeming presses Of
the world to feed the voracious appetite of
the reading public, about one out of three
survives three years term Of life. OF all
the books that have ever created a record
boom few have reached a sale beyond
100000 copies, and that is enough to make
any publisher gasp with kind Of unholy
joy, as OF poor man who suddenly finds
himself in the presence Of gold mine.
Yet there Is one book whose sales are
recorded in figures which are almost great
er than the average human mind can grasp
without mental dizziness, which has cir
culated not by the ordinary thirteen to the
dozen. not by hundreds, not by thousands,
not by millions, but by the hundreds of
millions, book SO popular that it is read
in the palace in the manor, in the villa, in
the cottage, in the howell. in the prison; a
book so fascinating that men have given
their lives the price Of a single copy,
and are giving their lives to sell copies to
others who have not yet read It,
It Is q book Of no local interest, but 1t so
stirs the heart. whether 1t beat beneath a
white or black or yellow skin. that it has
been translated not only into every Euro
pean language, not only into the chief fam
lilies OF languages spoken by the. great
races OF the east and west, but into strange
barbaric tongues which have never before
been crystallized into written shape, into
dialects spoken in the bush and in the jun
gle, in the torrid zones and in the arctic
regions,

LUNCH COUNTERS IN SCHOOL.
Cheap and Filling Fare for Pupils Up
Boston Way.
From the Boston Transcript

From the Boston Transcript.
In the early days when our fathers and
mothers attended school their luncheon
was carried On pals or baskets and con-
sisted generally of doughnuts, apples and
pieces of pie. After eating of this indiges-
tible food the children We're in poor condi-
ton for the reception Of knowledge. :
1t remained for the Boston Cooking School
to remedy this crying evil, through the es-
tablishment of suitable food at a low price,
which would induce the children to visit the
rooms during the recess and obtain good.
nourishing diet at slight cost. The results
were immediate and satisfactory, =.
The Introduction of the lunch counter
into the public schools and institutions
similar to the School of Technology varies
in different places as TO system, but the
general scheme is the same. Checks are
used in place of money, and these are pro-
vtded through scholars who sit at tables
near the door. on the girls side of the
building and one at boys entrance. These
sell checks to the amount required to the
scholars before they enter the lunch room.
Just before recess the pupils who sell checks
take their seats, so as to be ready when the
recess bell rings.
The checks represent one, two. three four
and five cents, and their use instead of
money saves much confusion. The schol-
airs thus provided go to the lunch room
and, through checks, get what they want to
the amount specified. The food varies
slightly in price In different places. The
writer visited five of these lunch counters
and closely observed the different methods
of conducting them. The places visited
were Lynn, Melrose: Maiden. Auburndale
and Salem All the lunch rooms, with the
exception of the one In Salem. were in the
basement. They were large, well ventilated
and well lighted.
The one at Lynn Is in the gymnasium,
and Is the largest of those visited. 1t has
two counters. one a little lower than the
other. One is used for the food-the schol-
ars order from and eat off the other. 1ns
room has little open letter boxes on either
side into which the boys and girls drop
their checks. In this school they
money to a limited extent If the change is
not right
Graduates from the English Classical
High School who work in tine vicinity are
allowed to come to this lunch counter dur
ing their noon hour and obtain a lunch.
The school numbers from 800 to 1000. and
two-thirds of the scholars get their lunch
in the school. While the bill Of fare varies
each day. certain things are always obtain
able, such as sandwiches, fruit. soups,
chocolate, simple cakes rennet and milk.
Twice a week custards baked and boiled
with whipped cream frosting, are served,
also lemon and orange jelly and chocolate
crackers with ice cream.

The Pruning Of Shrubs.
-Om the London Mail.

From the London Mall.
When the different plots begin. to I'LL the
gardener has the satisfaction OF knowing
that he has something growing and can
turn to other matters. Ivy on walls and
evergreen shrubs should be pruned within
the next few weeks, not in the trim and
formal way which is far too common. but
with a view to picturesque effect. which Is
more pleasing to the eye because it Is more
natural.
Roses. too, must soon receive attention.
those that are weak being cut down almost
to the ground, and those that are strong
merely thinned out and shortened back.
Climbing roses need little pruning, though
IL left altogether alone they are apt in time
to become bare down below and 20 produce
all their flowers on top. To counterfeit this
tendency strong young shoots from the
base should be selected to replace WORKOUT
stems and should be shortened back to diff
ferent lengths. Treated thus they VIII
flower all the way up.
1t Is too late to prune fruit trees. but they
should be kept under observation as growth
proceeds. and IL superfluous shoots are re-
moved at an early stage it will save good
deal Of trouble later, besides economiz.ng
the strength OF the tree. To allow growth
to form for several months. merely to be
cut away in the end, Is terribly wastefui
method Of procedure, though, unfortunately.
it Is the common one.
