MILL OWNERS MEET
THEIR STRIKING MEN
Kaukauna Paper Makers Say They VIII
Start Up Soon with Non-union
Labor

Kaukauna, Wis, July 16.-[Special.l-
John Van Nortwick, proprietor of the
Combined Locks Paper company, held
conference with his men who went out on
a strike month ago, because he wanted
them to work long hours on Saturday
nights. He asked them what their decis-
ion was in regard to working Saturday
nights. Every man present refused to
go back to the long hour schedule. He
offered time and half pay for the ex-
ira hours, but this seemed no induce
ment. Mr.. Reese, the manager, states
that his company will be ready to start
up in about two weeks with new crew.
The Howard paper mill, which was
started up at Neenah Monday with an
entire new crew, has had so disastrous
an experience that the plant has been
again closed down.

The Improved Straw Ride.

The young folks up in the Berkshires
and in the Massachusetts, college towns
Of Northampton, Amherst and Holyoke
have invented a new diversion this sum-
mer which they call the construction ride:
1t is combination OF the old-fashioned
straw ride of their grandparents and the
modern trolley trip. Instead Of taking
an ordinary electric passenger car, they
charter a fiat car, used ordinarily in con-
struction work, with trolley pole stick
ing up in the middle like mast, spread
the girls. and then go off for ten-mile
whiz over the hills and back.-New York

Etiquette in japanese Railway Cars.

When a native lady enters a Japanese
railway carriage she slips her feet from
her tiny shoes, stands upon the seat, and
then sits demurely with her feet doubled
beneath her. A moment later she lights
a cigarette, or her little pipe, which holds
just tobacco enough to produce two good
whiffs of smoke. All japanese people
sit with their feet upon the seat of the
car, and not as Europeans do. When
the ticket collector-attired in blue uni
form-enters the carriage, he removes
peats the bow as he comes to each pas
senger to collect the tickets.-Chicag

and Grays Close the Season There.

Marshalltown will not celebrate La
Dor Day this year, as has been the
custom for several years. A decision
60 this effect has been arrived at by the
Narshalltown Trades and Labor As
sembly, which has considered the mat
ter carefully. Instead the laboring men
will cooperate with the Marshalltown
Base Ball Association, which will pro-
mote an excursion to Boone to see the
next to the last game of the Iowa State
League season. to be played at Boone
on Labor Day. Monday, September 8.
The Grs,ys close their season In Boone
on the 9Th Of September.
The Trades and Labor Assembly con-
cluded not to celebrate Labor Day this
year for several reasons. In the first
place they want to see the ball game.
which the schedule for the season has
placed in Boone. Secondly. the labor
celebration means q great amount of
hard work. which always falls OH a
few of the members of the assembly.
AS these same few merabers had the
greater share of the work to do in plan
ming fer the annual convention OF the
Iowa state Federation of Labor last
spring, they decided that this fall they
would take a rest and let one year pas :
without a celebration.
The Trades and Labor Assembly OF
Boone Is making great preparations for
q Labor Day celebration, and will have
as a drawing card the game between
the Boone club and the firays.
The base ball association expects de-
finite information soon as TO what may
be expected for Its excursion. The
prospects so far appear very good, for
there are many who will take advan-
tage Of cheap rate 10 witness the
game on a holiday. The association
has asked for special train and eX-
poets d rate of $3.50 for the round trip.
which is trifie under one fare. 1t Is
expected that if satisfactory rate Is
secured there viii be no trouble in TAX
ing 1000 people or more to Boone to
do what they can, to cheer the Grays on
