STRIKERS STILL MEET
To-day's Session Behind Closed Doors
Managers Regard Strike
as a Dead Issue.

Managers Of the flour mills say that
so far as they are concerned the strike
inaugurated by their employees nearly
three weeks ago is a thing of the past.
The mills are grinding at almost their
normal output, shipments are being
made and orders filled promptly, the
grade Of -four manufactured is up to
the standard set by former years and
there are but few places left to be
filled in the mills. = ~
The strikers held meeting this
forenoon behind closed doors at
Union Temple. No announcement was
made concerning results accomplished
or subjects discussed. The men are
disposed to question the accuracy of
an evening paper statement that 1900
union men have returned to work in
number is increasing from day to day.
Hereafter the union meetings will be
held in the forenoon:
Former President John M. Finley
made an effort before the meeting of
the strikers yesterday to reply to the
criticism made Of his course by Mr..
Kidd, but did not succeed in making
a satisfactory statement.
A. G. Loring of the Northwestern
Consolidated Milling company denies
the statement repeatedly made by the
strikers that the mill managers are
acting in conjunction with the Nation.

HAROLD NEVER KNEW
Locked Up Alone in the New Store,
He Slept Like a
Top. -.
His Parents Had Forgotten That
They Had Left Him
There.

One of the oldest and apparently
one Of the most incredible lapses of
memory came to light the other day
at The New Store. Saturday evening
a lady and gentleman, the latter with
baby in his arms, stepped off the
elevator into the suit and cloak de-
partment and going forward, were
soon busy looking at the various gar
ments.
Put Harold right down here on
this pile of cloaks, WILL said the lady
to her husband; hes so sleepy, he
can take a nap before we go home
he can't roll off,
Their purchases made in this de-
partment, they strolled to the music
counter which is near the elevator,
took a car to the main floor and
walked out of the store, forgetfuI Of
the sleeping infant.
It was a little after 10 o'clock when
they reached home and the first ques-
ton, which the lady asked her mother
was, lis baby all right"
The old lady looked up Mortified.
@'Baby!" she exclaimed. why, Marie,
are you out of your senses? You took
him with you down town."
ooh, my heavens!" cried the young
mother. will, come quick!" and to-
gether they sped toward the nearest
car line.
On arriving at The New Store they
were met by the night Waterman,
who did not know them, Of course,
and hesitated about letting them in;
but the fathers hoarse explanations
and the mothers tears and entreatie
prevailed, and little Harold was found
just as they had left him-sound
asleep upon the pile of soft c1oaks.
