out on strike at the docks and ways
here held . meeting yesterday morn

as all union men and many of the nom
unionmen wanted the nine hour work

The local union men are looking for
the demands to be made today. The
caulkers claim that the local docks
want them to work ten hours per day
on government work when the estab-
lished rule over the entire United
States Is for only eight hours on gov
eminent work. The local men are
looking elsewhere for work and yester-
day eight went to Arkansas City and
eight left this morning for st. Louis

Do VioIins Get Sick?

Can a violin be played out or get
sick? confidently say No; nor does
any benefit result from giving them a
rest. The tone of any violin does not
appeal to our ears at all times alike.
This is mainly due TO the state of our
health and hearing varying and, part
ly, the cleaIness or otherwise Of the
atmosphere.
To prove this, play on three or four

not be wandering from this subject by
adding there is the same sense Of fall

WhaIeback Now Obsolete.

In recording the fact of the con-
version of the whaleback steamer No.
II into an oil tanker, at Philadelphia,
newspaper of that city say that ives
sells of her peculiar shape are seldom
seen off the Great Lakes. where they
have become the most popular type of
steamer" While 1t is probably true
that whaleback steamers or barges are
seldom seen on salt water, although a
number of steamers of that type are
successful deep sea freighters, it is not
true that the whale back has become
the most popular type Of steamer on
the lakes. 1t would be nearer the
truth to say that the whaleback Is
gradually going out of popularity on
the lakes. as few vessels of that type
are now launched, in comparison with
the number of steamers of the conven-
tional type that are annually construct
ed at lake shipyards.
The whaleback Is undoubtedly an
improvement on the old low freeboard
tow barge, which she was designed TO
supplant; but she is far inferior to the
steel lake carrier of large size, with
double decks and high freebcard. As
steamer she is not TO be compared
with the ships of the conventional type
which are now taking the places of the
smaller freighters. The whaleback
barge will undoubtedly pass away with
the tow-harge business. which is des-
tined to decline rapidly, because of the
fact that only large craft are now con-
structed for the ore and grain trades,
and the big fellows" have all they
can do to take care of themselves,
