FEWER MEN ON STRIKE.
Labor Conditions in New York Com
pared With a Year AGO.

New York, Sept. 6.-Labor day,
1904, presents many interesting facts
and conditions both to employers and
employees in New York city as com
pared with the same period a year
ago, says the Herald. Within the
five months between April / and Sept.
l, this year, losses in wages to WO.ll k
ingmen in New York city from strikes
and lOckOuts have been more than one
third less than during the same
months last year and losses to en-
ployers have been correspondingly
smaller.
In all of the 1904 strikes, except
possibly in the building trades, the
outcome has marked a decided step
towards the open shop and in seV-
eral instances the employers have
achieved a decided victory, the strill-
ing union men having returned to
work side by side with nonunion en-
ployes, This was especially noted in
the strikes OF the marine machinists,
the tailors and the butchers.
In the building trades at the pres
ent time there are only about 10000
men in enforced idleness.
There are 10000 union wOrkmcn n,
skilled and unskilled, in the metro
pOlitan district. At no time during the
season has the army of idle exceeded
$4,000.

which they have apparently firmly Sc
cured. This information comes from
Chinese messenger sent to Port Ar
thur by the Associated Press, and it
confirms previous fragmentary ad-
vices. The messenger adds that Itz-
shan was reattacked Aug. 80 with
great fury, but the Japanese were un-
able to secure a position. Another
Chinese who departed from Port Ar
thur Sept. 2 says that a fierce assault
was made on the left flank at o'clock
that morning. The assault lasted until
6 a, M, when the Japanese retired.
The bombardment then recommended,
the japanese fred chiefly from Sui
chlying and Palichuang, the Russians
from AntZshan.
The Japanese losses, according to
the Russian estimate, were 5000 dur
ing the four days from Aug. '27 to Aug.
81. The Russian losses are placed at
5000. During the assault shells from
. the field guns and rife bullets fell in
the city. The hattleships in the har-
Dor also participated in the firing.

which commenced last Thursday, con-
tinued Friday and Saturday. On those
days the forts surrounding the town
withstood the heavy fire of artillery
and brilliant assault by the Japan
ese infantry. All the attacks were
repulsed, mines playing an important
part in the discOmforture of the assail-
ants.
Nevertheless the Liaoyang fortifica-
tiOns finally were evacuated and the
remainder of reserve supplies de-
StrOyed by fire.
During the three days lombard
ment the railway station and suburbs
of the Chinese town suffered the most.
The latter was abandoned by it's in
habitants after the town was ablaZe
ln many places.
To the east, in the neighborhood of
Yentai station and the coal mines,
there was hot fighting on Friday and
SATURDAY.

though the district is one of the most
thickly populated in the crowded East
Side of New York. When the fremen
reached the scene some of the tenants
were jumping from the windows and
from the ends of fire escapes that
reached only to the second floor; 9TH

the small rooms and narrow halls.
The work of the firemen was greatly
hindered, but over twenty persons
were rescued by them from the fourth

Grown Prince Frederick William to
Princess Cecilia, the youngest daugh-

less, by the empress well known de.

dark blue eyes and is of a refined
