CHICAGO
HAS TWO
STRIKES
Tanners and Marine flramen
and Oilers Quit Work to En-.
tOrCe Their Demands.

Chicago, April 1.-Two large strikes
will go into effect today. Three thousand
tanners last night voted TO strike. under
orders from the chiefs at Cleveland. ma
rine fremen, oilers and water tenders
VIII also refuse 10 work today.
The action OF the tanners was the re-
suit OF the refusal OF the employers 10
grant a nine hour day, a 10 per cent IN
crease I'm wages and recognition OF the
Tanners and Curriers' union. The strike
will affect IL tanneries, three OF which
are controlled by the American Hide and
Leather company. Until the tanneries
went into a combination I'm 1897 the en-
ployes enjoyed nine hour day, but the
consolidation, 1t Is claimed, brought about
a 10-hour day and reduction OF wages
from 10 to is per cent.
A general tie-up OF the lake fleets prob
ably will he the result OF the strike OF
marine firemen, oilers and water tenders
association after the failure OF their con-
ference with the lake carriers committee
to agree on a wage schedule. Notices or
the order were sent to all ports on the
Great Lakes, where vessels are being
fitted out for the season and members OF
the union Immediately quit work.
When asked what action the committee
OF the lake carriers would take on the
strike President Livingston said:
1--WE are going TO stand pat. The offer
we made the men was fair one and
we cannot afford to shift. Most of our
members would favor tieup at this time
and the demands OF the men Will not be
granted"

There are three principal fields OF
usefulness for the Angora goat, says
George +. Thompson in American Ag-
r.culturist. First, as brushwood eX-
fev,ninators: second, rs mohair pro-
ducers. and. third. as meat producers.
In clearing brush land they become the
frrcrnnncr of sheep. Grass fou3Ws
them. and they leave that for the
sheen. They clear land without -eX-
ucnsc which. if cleared by man, would
rost from SO TO $50 per acre. IN no
way do they interfere with the keeping
of live stock of any other kind. What
is the hair used for? That is a proper
question The mohair is used most
LARGELY in the manufacture OF pushes
Of All kinds. but it is also extensively
used in the manufacture of rugs, robes.
aStrakhan cloaks. ladies' coats, dress
goods. coat Innings. etc, and. the de
mand is so great for these goods that
the product does not nearly equal the
demand. The dressed skins are util-
lied for rugs and robes and also enter
largely into the manufacture Of capcs,
collars, muffs, cloak trimmings and the
like. 1t is seldom sold under its true
name. AS To its meat. mutton is never
superior. and whoever eats it once is
always ready for more. 1t is indorsed
by every one who has eaten of it, and
the prejudice so long held against it is
fast disappearing.
