STRIKE SHUTS DOWN
A TYPEWRITER PLAN

CHICAGO. May 30.-The Fay Sholes
Typewriter Company has closed down
its plant, after the metal polishers and
other workmen had made demand for
increased wages. The management says
the company could not afford to meet
the demands of the unions, and conclud-
ed it is cheaper TO close down for the
summer, IL necessary. About 25J men
are thrown out OF employment.
The executive board of the Interna-
tional Union of Steam Engineers. which
has been in session two days consider
ing the strike of 300 engineers in the
stockyards. has decided that Business
Agent McCallum, of the union. erred in
calling the strike, and has ordered the
engineers back to work. The award Of
the board of arbitration. while criticised
in that ii fixed wages below the union
scale was sustained.

SHAKE-UP IN BLUE AND
GRAY VARSITY CREW
Atkinson Succeeds Captain
Russell as Stroke.

The Georgetown Varsity crew has I'M
deTgone a radical shake-up since the
races at Annapolis week ago. Four men
OF the second crew have been given seats
in the first boat. including the stroke.
Atkinson. Captain Russell has gone
from stroke to five, and Atkinson is now
stroking the crew.
Atkinson at stroke is a trifle quicker
On the catch and holds the stroke longer
in the water. Russell Ats in at five bet
ter than he did at stroke, on account of
his weight, he being one of the heaviest
men in the boat
Order of Crew.
The crew is rowing in the following
order. Stroke. Atkinson; seven, Brem-
ner; six, Curren: five, Russell (captain);
four, Hayden; three, Teevan; two, era
ham; bow, Sheppard. In this order the
weight is perfectly we'll distributed IN
the boat. The crew is a light one, aver
aging about leo pounds. and the warm
weather has already taken down three
pounds off the average. Whether the
crew will row at Poughkeepsie in the
present order is, of course. still I'M
decided, but 1t is safe to say that there
viii not be many more changes In the
boat
Since the. shake-uD. the varsity has

abandoned the new boat built for the crew
this year by Glass. and is now using
the old boat. hitherto used by the second
crew. There are two reasons for this
change One, the old boat seems to
travel better through the water thanthe
Glass boat; and second, the old boat is
starboard rugged. and Atkinson is ac-
customed to rowing starboard. while the
new boat is port rugged.
Not Together Yet.
The crew has been rowing in its new
order only three days, and is not yet
well together There is. however,
better swing in the boat than formerly.
and the men have something more than
three weeks in which to shake together.
Though still short in the water the men
are holding on to the finish OF their
stroke better than they were At the
catch they are still too high off the
water and inclined TO pull into the water
rather than get the full benefit of their
reach. by raising the hands and round
ing into the water. There is much
danger, too. in pulling into the water
lest the kick on the stretcher before
the oar is buried in the water will kick
the boat back just before the catch. This
Is what happens occasionally in the
Georgetown boat.
Slide Work Good.
The slide work on the recovery con-
tinues good. and the boat spaces well
between strokes. The men throughout
the boat are getting their hands away
fairly quickly on the first part of the
recovery There is still too much jerk
in the finish OF the stroke
Coach Dempsey is working to get
harder catch. The stroke is still kept
low. rarely getting as high as thirty-two
and most of the time staying at thirty

Some of the eastern papers
are expressing alarm and II told
you over the prospects that ir.
rigation of the western lands bv
the government is going to cost
more per acre than was indicated
by assessments and statements
made during the discussion of
the irrigation bill. This is need.
less fear in view of the fact that
the money is all to come back to
the government. Neither is
there any fear that this money
will ever be RENTED by hasty
act OF congress. Every western
interest would oppose such a
measure for under the irrigation
law the money when paid back
to the government is to be used
over again for building other ir-
rigation works in other states.

Congress has granted a lump
sum of 81, 900 to the family of
every mai. clerk killed while on
duty. There is no other occu-
patton in the world so perilous
as that of our railway mail
clerks. They number about
5000 and ordinarily they get
something like 81, 200 a year.
There were 900 accidents last
year and nine were killed.
