80 SETTLE LABOR TROUBLE
Potency Of Hunger Alleged to Be Hav.
inu a Trial,

Potency Of Hunger Alleged to Be t1av.
ing Trial.
The potency of hunger as settler
OF labor disputes is to be given a trial
In Des Moines. The appetites of work
ingmen and their families are to be
made use of rather than arbitration
in disposing of the question of difief-
ences in wages and hours of employ
ment. Thus far the combined Strike
and lockout in the building trades has
been in good nature and good temper;
there has been neither heated words
nor hasty action; both sides appear to
be contented and confident and Meth
er in doubt as to the ultimate con.
clusion--but in the face of real hun
ger it is regarded as entirely pl obable
that the controversy will become more
exciting. The business mems .easu9
and the trades and labor assembly are
both strong and each has large fund
stored UP for the struggle.
The fight came on the building
trades. The electricians aid the paint
ers have been maintaining a strike for
some time on matter of wages The
plumbers have also had some Difficult
ties. The carpenters and masons re
fused to take any part In the struggle
Then the contractors and others an
nounced policy of "open shop" OF
employment of nonunion men at will
Some men were put at work, but still
the carpenters and masons did not
strike. 1t is surmisad the contrac
tors hoped the first break would come
from the workingmen, Then the lock
out was ordered.

THE REVISED VERSION.

When Henry Ward Beecher was
asked by an Eagle reporter 10 give
his views of the revised version OF
the Scriptures, he answer ID, Come
here ten years from today and | will
give you my opinion" The reporter
recorded the date and would have
been at Mr.. Beecher's door at tn
time named had the great preacher
lived SO long But in the smile an |
twinkle of the eye with which Mr..
Beecher postponed his answer he
tOkened his estimate Of the changes
in the text of the Bible that had
been made with such expenditure OF
tine and such heraldng Of trumpets.
And that estimate seems to be sha:-
ed by nearly all other prclates, for It
is not easy to find other than the
King James version in our churches
and Sunday schools.
Although the revision of the Testa-
ment into stricter English was a use
fpi literary exercise. the difference
discovered between the new and Cd
er versions are commonly too slight
to justify the change. In some
cases force has been lost at the gain
of verbal correctness, in other cases
the substitution of involved for sin
pier forms has beer a disadvantage.
The Twenty-third Psa,m in the ol
version says, Yea, though walk
through the valley of the shadow Of
death, | will fear no evil" The new
version puts it thus: yea. though
walk through deaths dark vale OF
shadows, no evil will | fear" There
is no gain in this. On the contrary
it is closer to the vernacular and
mere arammatieally sensible to say,
9! will fear no evil than to phrase
it. NO evil will | fear" In many
other instances sentences have be n
reversed for no clear ason.-BroOh.
