LIFE AND DEATH STRUGGLE.
Strikes and Lockouts in New York
Building Trades lnminent.

New York, March 17.-Employers
and their men in the building trades
here are preparing, according to the
Herald, for a life and death struggle
over the question of unionism The
struggle probably will be precipitated
by declaration on the part of the
employers for the open shop policy
and the destruction of the building
trades unions.
The disastrous strike here last sum-
mer. which caused losses amounting
into the millions, ended in agreements
to arbitrate future troubles, but now
that the bricklayers' laborers have
gone on a strike, followed by the brick
layers, resulting in the idleness of TO-
600 men and tying up of work all over
the city, the employers declare that
they cannot afford TO enter into fur
ther agreements with the unions and
it Is asserted they are preparing to
settle the matter in finish fight. The
employers maintain that the open shop
policy is the only course left TO them
II they wish to continue in business.
A firm stand is being taken by the
men, however, on the ground that their
plans for arbitration were thrown
aside by the employers. Circulars are
being distributed broadcast warning
the men to prepare for determined
fight against the open shop.

REFUSE TO LEAVE KOREA
AMERICAN MISSIONARIES PAY NO
ATTENTION TO STATE DE-
PARTMENT ADVICE.

Washington, March II. - United
States Minister Allen cables the state
department from Seoul that the Gin
cinnati has arrived at Chemulpo with
twenty-three Americans from Chin
nampho. The minister announced that
the missionaries In the neighborhood
of Pingyang had refused to send their
women and children aboard the Gin
cinnati where they could be taken to a
place of safety.
The attitude of the missionaries is
one familiar to the state department
in connection with Oriental troubles.
1t has used every effort by counsel and
advice and by extending the use OF
naval vessels to induce these jealous
people to temporarily repair to some
place of safety, but often in vain as in
this case. The department has made
1t clear to the missionary representa-
tives in this country that in the case
of actual war like this ii cannot un-
dertake to employ the United States
army and navy in expeditions into the
interior of country which Is the
scene OF war. If the missionaries re-
main after proper warning the
United States government cannot re-
move them and they must take their
chances with other civilians.

STOLE FIFTY DOLLARS DAILY
Smooth Letter Box Thief Caught in
Chicago.

Chicago, March 17.-Edward Kerlin
who has been arrested, has confessed
to stealing hundreds OF letters from
mail boxes in Hyde Park in the last
three months. He says that, after
forging Endorsements on checks and
money orders, he cashed them, chiefly
In department stores.
kerlin, who is thirty years OF age
was released from the Joliet peniten
tiary last October, at the expiration oil
three-year sentence for robbing mail
boxes. He claims to be a university
graduate and says his parents are
wealthy residents of Woodlawn.
He declares that when released from
the penitentiary he secured position
with a real estate firm in Woodlawn
but the constant surveillance of gov
ernment detectives, who learned of his
whereabouts, annoyed his employers
and he was discharged. WI
Then he decided to resume criminal
operations. A bent pin attached to a
piece of wire or a small stick with
adhesive liquid was the only imple-
ment used by Kerlin. Following after
the letter carrier he quickly secured
all the mail not at once removed from
the boxes by persons to whom 1t was
addressed. Letters not containing
checks were destroyed.
For three months | have averaged
not less than $50 day." he said.

Berlin, March 17.-Letters from Ger

here giving details of the CHASTITY
treatment of German settlers, 113 OF

dictionary columns. on coming in sight
Of a farmers house. would see the
heads of its former occupants fastened
to the roof.
These sights appear to have excited
the rage of the soldiers. The letters
express longings for revenge and de-
termination, as one writer says, ITO
kill everything black That causes
some papers TO urge the government
to telegraph instructions to Colonel
Leutwein, the governor of German
Southwest Africa, that he order the
soldiers to restrain themselves and
conduct the war in a civilized manner
Colonel Leutwein himself comes in for
criticism, as it is alleged he left in
sufficient numbers of troops in the ex-
posed districts and was misled by the
temper OF the natives, having fire.
Quently at his own table chiefs who
are now in rebellion and who are wear

st. Petersburg, March 1.-THE re
ports of the abandonment of Port Ar

resentment. the papers denouncing the
story as stock jobbing scheme. One
paper remarks:
Let other countries be fed on such
tales, but while Russian blood is flow

falsehoods. The official kilograms are

The government is building some

They will not be employed so much on
account of fear that the Japanese may

become emboldened by the war
A military expert in the Russky In

tion in covering their forces at Ping
yang, Korea, and at their bases, Che
mulpo Chinnampho and Seoul, means
that detachments have moved out
along the Vellimkang, which may be
compared to miniature Tugela river.
A number of these detachments, 1t is
added, have crossed the Vellikang at
Panchen, eight miles from Anju.

New York, March 17.-Starting

on the old crop months as result of
disappointing cables, the cotton mar-

WILL BECOME AGGRESSIVE.
Rumcred Junction of Vladvootck ant
Port Arthur Fleets.

Shanghai, March 17.-Advices from
Nagasaki say that a rumor is in circu
lation there to the effect that Admiral
Makaroffs fleet, which was stationed
In the outer harbor at Port Arthur, has
broken through the Japanese Gordon
probably under cover of darkness, and
effected a junction with the Vladivos-
tok feet.
This move has been expected ever
since Admiral Makaroff decided to
keep the fleet under steam in the outer
harbor.
1t is supposed that the fleet made a
dash through the Korean straits and
found the Vladiyostok cruisers along
the Korean coast.
Ii will be in keeping with Makaroff' $
policy to launch his whole strength
against the japanese Port Arthur fleet
and such action is looked for, proyid-
sd the rumorS are true.

most Of the shells fired into Port Ar

March IL were part of the ammunition
found on board the captured East
Asiatic steamer Manchuria, which was
bound for Port Arthur with 1000 tons
of war material. The Russians were
greatly surprised at seeing their own
shells bursting among them. Thirty
casualties occurred in one large fort.
The total Russian casualties were over
800 killed and wounded. This is au-
thentic. Evidently not much damage
was done to the Japanese ships, for
the forts made but feeble reply.
