DYERS CONTROL THE SITUATION

PHILADELPHIA, June IA general
strike of textile workers was inaugurated
in this city today involving about $4,000
operatives.
OF the 800 firms engaged in the textile in
dustry here forty-seven have granted the
demands Of the union and their plants, en-
ploying about 1000 hands. are in operation.
All of the sixty-three ingram carpet mills
are idle, affecting directly 1900 weavers
and 10000 hands IN other departments.
All Of the dyers, who are said to con-
troll the situation, are on strike, with the
exception of those Of the Berkshire mills in
the northeastern section of the city, which
has conceded the ffty-fve-hour week and
increased the wages Of the men from a2
to Sls a week.
The Ingram carpet weavers are asking,
besides the ffty-fve-hour week, 10 per
cent increase in wages.
The mill OF John and James Dobson, en-
ploying 1000 hands, was closed indefinitely
today The worknen were notified that
they could return to work at the present
rate Of wages, otherwise the mill would re-
main closed.
Thirty-nine branches of the textile trade
are affected by the strike ard the capital
invested in the mills is estimated at No.
100000 The daily loss in wages will amount
TO $125,000. The manufacturers admit that
the operatives are in a position to close
all mills not granting thsir demands This
is due principally to the Importance OF tile
dyers branch OF the industry.
Their work is OF character not gen
orally understood and while the dyers con
tinue on strike the mills must remain idle,
no matter what the other textile workers
might do
A member Of the manufacturers execu-
tive committee said:
The large manufacturers are a unit al
most in opposing these demands 10 the
extent Of keeping their mills shut for
year, IL necessary. and. as this is the de-
cision, there is no particular need of making
any moves

cotton mills, which have been closed FOR
nine weeks by reason Of labor trouble were
opened today. The Lawrence mills. which
were partly closed, also resumed.
Only about 1000 operatives responded OF
about 1900 who had been idle. President
Conroy of the Textile council said that re-
ports from meetings held by the various
unions indicated that not per cent OF
skilled organized help went into the mills

DES MONIES, June 1.-(Special )-Gov-
ernor A 3. Cummins had made all ar
rangements to so to Denison today and
to be there tomorrow morning to give OFF,
cial welcome to the state OF Iowa TO Pres
ident Roosevelt and his party. He had
been especially invited by the local com
mittees headed by Congressman Conner,
to be in Denison and head the receiving
party. He had also accepted the invita-
ton of Senator Dolliver to be In Fort
Dodge and to go on to Waterloo and be
one of the speakers at the banquet to the
president in Dubuque given by Senator
Allison, but owing to the serious flood sit
uation in Des Moines and to the neces-
Eity for prompt action looking TO securing
money to effect repairs at the state In
stitutions at Glenwood. the governor de-
clared that he regarded It as his duty to
remain in his office. The governor is vir-
tually at the head OF the relief commit
tees at work caring for the needy people
of Des Moines. The governor personally
went all over the district and is giving his
personal attention to the work OF relief
The state executive council met today
to consider what could be done with regard
to the Institution for the Feeble Minded
at Glenwood Chairman Cownie of the
state Board OF Control made a statement
10 the council, supplemented py state-
ment from Architect Liebbe, showing that
the needed repairs and improvements will
cost about $4,000 and that 1t will be very
difficult indeed to get along with any less
than this sum. The state council has left
of the providential fund $4,000 The coun-
Gil gave tho board $2s 900 for use in making
the temporary work at the School for the
Deaf In Council Bluffs, and $1,000 for the
building of a temporary structure at Ames.
The council was willing to give the remain.
ing $4,000 to the board, but this would not
be enough. But we will get the money
somehow, for we must do So" declared the
governor. This is a case of absolute
necessity. The state can and will care for
the unfortunates in the institution at Glen
wood, and we viii get the money to do It
with" It is probable that the council will
make an appropriation from the state
| treasury sufficient to cover the actual
necessities of the situation at Glenwood
and trust to the legislature to recoup. The
other members of the board will return to-
morrow, when the matter will be finally
settled.

merger Of RaiIroads Approved.

Attorney General Mullan today rendered
an official opinion to Secretary of State
Martin In which he held that the consol-
idation of the Minneapolis g. st. Louis rail-
road. effected in 1885, with It's subsidiary
line in Iowa could be effected without pay
ment of an additional fee. The company
undertook TO organize a new company and
filed articles nearly two years ago, but when
the filing fee was demanded the articles
were withdrawn. About four months ago
the company filed a contract of consolida-
tlon, by which contract the Minneapolis g.
St. Louis Railroad company of Minnesota
and the Minneapolis & st. Louis Rail-
road and Telegraph company of Iowa oe-
come the Minneapolis & st. Louis Railway
company OF both states. The first named
company had capital of S2O,0o0,oOO and the
Iowa company 100000. Thus by effeeting
consolidation instead OF forming new
company "A hling fee Of $4,000 is avoided
and the company will become an Iowa
corporation with SEQ. 100000 capital The
matter has been held up by the secretary
of state until the attorney general invesu-
gated He reported that under the code the
contract could be filed without payment
of the fee required of corporations. The
question has never been raised and it opens
new way for evading the big fees re-

has been about $4,000. and the supply left
will last only about thirty days. 1t Is
impossible TO have ice brought to the city
and the only way is for new factory to
be built. The flood had one good result,
and that was to put an end to an old
controversy between the park commission
ers and the ice companies with regard to
the removal of certain ice houses on ground

courts have hesitated for year or two
about removing the houses, but the Des

SHE NAMES THE CATTLE.
Bard Task of Missouri Young
Woman Who Keeps Her Fa-
TIERS Herd Supplied.

I
An examination Of the official cata-
| logue of a cattle and swine show like
the American Royal shows a long list
of catchy and romantic names by which
the animals are known. To the casual
attendant at the show of these uniniti-
ated to the careful and painstaking
methods which are employed in keep
ing a herd of fine cattle in constant
readiness for the show ring, il is doubt
less an enigma how so many names
can be utilized without exhausting the
resources Of the breeders, reports the
Kansas City Star.
Usually this important part of the
work is assigned to the cattleman's
wife or daughter. Miss Roxy Thomp-
son, Of Nashua, No., the daughter of
''Unele Blue" Thompson. the pioneer
breeder Of the west, gives names to all
of the cattle in the herd belonging to
her father and brother.
1.-THE naming of so many cattle is
no easy task" said Miss Thompson.
"The names must not conflict, and each
must, of course, be consistent with the
sex of the animal. This requires a
careful keeping of records. We not
only give names to the cattle belong
ing TO the show herd, but every bull,
COW, heifer, and calf on the farm which
is registered must have name, where
by we can distinguish them from his
brothers and sisters. My brother
usually waits until he has a great long
list Of those registered and then brings
the list to me. / get out the records
of names, which has been given, sit
down at my typewriter and begin to
think hard. Our cattle family in
creases pretty rapidly, so this work
has to be gone through with rather
often.
Il make up most Of the names now.
The list Of flowers, stars, operas, trees,
mountains, rivers. lakes, etc. were ex-
hausted a long time ago. Usually 7
take syllables Of names Of people
whom know-yes, sometimes they are
young mems names-and by putting
them together in such a way that they
sound well, obtain satisfactory re-
suits.
"Of course, catchy names are best
and / always try TO get that kind. The
Breeders association will not accept
name which contains more than is let
tiers, so the length must be considered
also. Everybody usesnumbers a great
deal, such as Dragon of Wayertree l,
II, III, etc. The names of the men,
bers Of our family and all the relatives
names were used up long ago. Several
Of the cattle have the same name as
my own. They were named for me or

Miss Mary Foard, Of Wayerly, New

clay and primitive clay together in her
scheme, and has decided TO call the

by many to have been the first work

vessels that are made in Mexico, re-

one, and it would doubtless divert and

it. But / fear il would be hard on

But these sweet natured aborigines

skies are over them. And the potter's

tiful work in plastic clay and the bril-
liancy and originality of the designs

The people are merry and care free,

world that lies beyond the rim Of wa
tiers and the wall Of luminous noun

There is a good market for the wares
made BY this tribe. A small donkey

convert the jars and vases into quanti-
ties of the plentiful silver Of the realm
and that is enough to buy food and
merriment. The other things Of life
are not so important as they are with
us and some others. 1t is land where
the earth keeps as warm as the breast
Of a mother, and the sun gives without
requiring the bitter tithes Of toll.

The Wonderful Elixir.
BY ELSIE NJ. HAYNAR. !
Observation-Disclosures
N THE corners Of the long old

N THE corners of the long old
room, with its lofty ceiling and
quaintly-carved wainscoting, the
shadows were gathering thickly, and
even the searching light from the
high arched north windows failed to
dispel the gloom, for the winter twi-
light was almost over and night was
near at hand. At large oak table
"a curious table, whose branching
feet were formed by the twisted
bodies of serpents with opened
mouths and extended fangs) drawn
close 10 one of the windows a man
was seated. His finely-shaped head,
with its long white hair, was leaned
YEARLY against the high-carved back
of his chair and the merci,ess north
light brought out clearly and dis
tinctly every feature of his strange
face,
On the table before him were
ranged a motley collection of odd
shaped walls and TASKS filled with
various liquids, some of which
CLEANED like gems in the thiekening
gloom, while others shown with
weird yellow light like a cats eye
in the dark.
His long, slender hands, like yell
lowed ivory, which rested on the
arms Of his chair. opened and closed
convulsiyely. This was the only sign
of life he betrayed.
Presently he began TO mutter 10
himself in a low tone:
Tonight I will put IL TO the
test-the final test-to-nightl For
surely the Elixir has stood all
previous tests and now it only needs
this browning proof Of its infallibil-
ity."
