settlement reached yesterday.
Failing to break the deadlock with the
Laundry Workers union by efforts to secure
arbitration, laundry owners throughout
Chicago undertook today to operate the
laundries. BY a concerted movement a
score OF laundries opened for business.
Pickets from the Laundry Workers union
were on guard, however, and girls who
started to work were stopped and told to
go home. Many obeyed.
Engineers and foremen refused to take
their posts. Drivers OF laundry wagons
all over the city were prepared TO pre-
vent the delivery Of work from any of the
establishments which have not signed the
union agreement to work exclusively with
union hands. The result was that of eleven
big steam washing and ironing establish
ments which started the movement to
break the strike only two were reported

In a passing reference to Ireland, ne de-
clared that If separation began with home
rule the empire would dissolve into Its
component atoms.
He proceeded to strongly urge the neces-
sity, in order 10 preserve the empire, OF
securing trade with the colonies. Canada,
he said, had offered great advantages which
Great Britain did not dare accept because
Of the narrow Interpretation OF the doc
trine Of free trade, which had led to the
belief that Great Britain was 80 welded to
its nacal. system that 1t could not defend
Its colonies. This was a position not in
tended by the pioneers Of free trade, who
II they we're alive today would agree TO a
treaty of preference and reciprocity with
the empires children.
He believed an entirely wrong interpreta-
ton had been placed on the doctrine Of
free trade. but hat the country ought not
to be bound by this, and II should not hes
itate to resort to retaliation IL necessary,
whenever the interests between the colo
MES and the home country were threatend.
Must BE Able to RetaIiate.
Mr.. Chamberlain avowed himself a free
trader. but be objected to the artificial and
narrow Interpretation Of free trade. He
pointed out that cobden had made, and that
Bright had approved, a preferential treaty
with France, and added;
There are two alternatives before you.
First, to maintain the free trade policy In
all It's severity, although II is repudiated
by every other nation and your colonies.
Second, to insist that we be not bound by
any purely technical definition OF free
trade. Whii4 nc 5eek tsse sree interchange
Of between ourselves and all
! the nations of the world, we will neverthe-
less recover our freedom, resume the power
Of negotiating, n IL necessary of retalia-
tion. 81
In conclusion he said he desired the dis
cussion TO be open. lt~was an issue graver
in It's consequences than mere local dis
putes. A mistake in legislation could be
corrected. but a mistake in the imperial
policy was irretrievable. Personally. he
did not think a general election iiears but
whether near or distant, the. issue would
depend on whether the people had IL ir
their hearts to do all hat was necessary
even II 1t occasionally went against theii
prejudices, to consolidate an empire which
could only be maintained by relations O
interest combined with relations of senti
ment.

A Weird Feast.

There is vein of superstition run
ming through most persons. even the re-

admit it, yet, the portent of dreams. of
breaking looking glasses. of falling pict
ureS. of birds flying in III the window
and of the unlucky day-Frday. and the
unluchy number-l3. all have som" little
influence on them.
But. by all newspaper accounts. Mr.
Clinton Peters, II portrait painter of Bal
timorr. whose name contains Is letters,
dctrs all signs and omrnS. and fairly re-
wells in his defiance of them. lie gave Il
dinner party lately. and selecting Fri
day. the 18th of March rs the day. he
and his wife invited eleven guests. There
Wcr" thirteen courses at the dinner. and
the menu cards. designed by Mr. Peters
were in the shape Of tombStonrS. On
each stone was inscribed the guests
name. with an Inscription appropriate To
his or her particular failing. Around
each EHmc and Inscription was wrrathcd
weeping willow. At each guests place
rs II tiny wreath Of immorcllcs. tied
with Il slender Hack silk ribbon. The
plates used had small black collins paint
on them. which was also the work of
Mr.. Peters. In order to place good and
bad signs together the individual ices
wrr" four-lraf cloyrrS and horse shoes
Ar. Peters explained however. that his
orly reason for having ices in that shape
was because he was not able 10 procure
ices in Keeping with the rest of the
mGmu.
After dinner tn" guests were uShrrcd
into the parlor, where they walked under
Il ladder several times that was placed
against the wall. y mirror was then
produced ANA broken before all present
and every one looked cross-cycd at each
either. The defiant party. not satisfied
with the numerous Invitations they had
extended to i'll luck to come and do its
worst. then went into the backyard and
took II long look AZ the moon over their
left shoulders. As the guests left each
was presented with an opal stick pin,
which jewel is regarded as particularly
unlucky.
If Mr.. Peters and his guests. survive
all this. they may hereafter, safely defy
all i'll omenS and unlucky signs.
