SECTION HANDS
WANT MORE PAY

The section men on the Omaha road
are on q strike for higher wages in the
face on an announcement that their
pay is to be reduced. The situation IS
a rather remarkable one. The men
have been receiving $1.65 a day and a
short time ago they were notified of a
reduction to $1.25 a day, to be effective
about November TO-
The men thought the matter over for
a few days and then decided to put in
a counter claim, so to speak, and an
nounced they would not only not ac-
cept $1.25 a day, but wanted $500 a
day. The company rejected the prop
osition and the men struck.
It was reported last night that the
company is having little trouble in Sc
curing new men to take the places OF
the strikers, and few of the old men
have reconsidered and gone back tc
work.

TWO MORE MILLS
FINISH SEASON

The closing Of the Leisure and Mer-
rill & Ring mills ssr the winter Mon
day afternoon WI result in a slight
business depression In West Duluth,
which will be further augmented by
the departure Of at least 800 of the
400 workmen for other fields of labor
The Smith & Co. mill, which is run
ming night and day, is the only one of
West Duluth's great lumber industries
now in operation, and it is expected
to close at the end of the week, throw
ing about 800 more men out of. employ
ment..% The ST. Louis mill, viii CHI has
been closed Tor repairs during the past
month, will resume sol eratior its Is
thought, within another month"and will
be open through the winter, giving en-
ployment to 800 or 400 Of the now I'M
employed mill hands.
Several of the mills have been closed
for some weeks. All, in fact, are clos
ing this year several weeks earlier than
is usual, though whether this is due
to shortage of timber or to the lack Of
demand is not known. Some of the
lumber operators have shown anxiety
to get their men into the woods as
early as possible this fall, as the de-
mand for timber next spring is ex-
pected to be unusually heavy. AL
though this policy will result in a
greater supply of timber for the season
of 1904, still it has been predicted free
iy that the early cessation of milling
operations this fall may have a ma
terial effect on the price of lumber
next summer.

PRISON GATES YAWN
FOR WRECKING GANGS

The error Of trades unionism lies in
attempting to accomplish by force a
betterment of workingmen's conditions
that can be attained only through in
dustry, skill, energy, intelligence and
honesty.-Public Policy.
One would imagine from reading the
above that a fundamental principle of
trade unionism was the use of force,
This is a wrong presumption; it is a
straw man created by the opponents
of trade unions of the Parry stripe for
the purpose of influencing public opin-
ion against organized labor. Some
green union men do try to win their
ends by force by Tue secret organizing
of wrecking gangs; the great body of
union men and women do not. The
history of organized labor shows that
the advocates of force are only a small
minority Of the whole, albeit they are
noisy. These should be behind bars
and wearing striped clothes whenever
they attempt to use force to achieve
their purposes.

DONS MALE CLOTHING.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Nov. 16.-Bessie
Barclay, the pretty 16-year-old daugh-
ter of H. A. Barclay and niece of Coun-
ty Assessor Ben Ward, for the second
time in the last few months has driven
her parents to the verge of destruction
by running away from her home in
search of adventure. About the middle
of July Miss Barclay suddenly disap-
peared and remained away for week
before she was discovered staying with
friends at Long Beach.
The city marshal at Long Beach a
few days ago was again requested to
look out for her, but not finding her in
his bailiwick, went to San Pedro, where
she has been found through the detec-
tive work of Miss Faye Springer, whom
Marshal Williams enlisted to help him.
Bessie, dressed in boys attire, had
been working in San Pedro bowling
alley, but, firing of this job had secured
position as a cabin boy on one of the
vessels in the harbor. Here Miss
Springer found her and easily bersuad-
ed her to resume her right apparel and
return home. Miss Barclay is a bright,
pretty girl, and her escapades are be-
lieved to be due to a desire to satisfy
a craving for adventure. )

A Painters Dictionary.

1t is nearly ninety years since "Bryan's
Dictionary OF Painters and Engravers"
first appeared. Two revisions were made
at intervals, and now third appears,
edited by DR.. George c. Williamson and
published by the Macmillan Company.
The first volume before us includes names
from A TO C. There will be FIVE volumes in
all. The revision ended in 1889 was practi-
cally a new work, owing to the changes
made in artistic knowledge by modern in
vestigation. In the new revision the latest
information has been applied to all the arti-
cles, pictures wrongly attributed have been
set right, and the new homes are given for
those that have changed place. Moreover,
the many artists who have become eligi-
bile to the dictionary by death are included {.
among the latest being Boecklin, Benjamin
Constant, Caldsron and Sidney Cooper.
