made to the plant.
About 800 nonunion employees OF the
American Tobacco Company at Rich
mond, Va, struck for an increase in
pay. The employees are all stemmers
and ask an increase of half cent a
pound. They say they have fine tobac-

that an extra fast hand can make
about 81 a day, but that the slower
workers cannot make nearly so much.
The strikers are all negroes.
The Rockford, ILL.,, Glucose Sugar
and Refining Company plant, the larg-
est in the chain of the factories Of the

der to close. The instructions are to
work out all the product on hand at
once. Employment has been given to
nearly 500 hands and the monthly pay
roll was in the neighborhood of
$4,000.
All danger of strike of the team

BEARS
Bruin Are Plentiful in Chil'
 kat Valley

The valley of the Chilkat is said to be overrun with bears. They have been plentiful there for many years, but are more than usually numerous this year because of the fact there has been no one to hunt them.
 =The Chilkat bear hunters have sought other employment this spring than bruin chasing, because of the cheapneSs of furs ingeneral and of bear in particu- lar. It is claimed by the natives of the forest that bear skins they could sell for S2O and s25 each two years ago are DOW sold for about $5. One person who killed 42 bears last year, refuses to do any hunting at all now because of the drop in the price,
 Furs of all kinds have fallen since the beginning of the Russo-Japanese war, but the fall has been particularly marked, so it is said, with bear skins. Russia has been the greatest fur mar ket in the world, and the bear skin is regarded as pre-eminently a cold wealth CT fur and was as a consequence in great demand in that country. The press there for war funds has impaired the purchasing ability of the people, hence the fall iu bear and other furs.
