knowing that the prosperity of the

and the confidence with which it is
regarded in the community were and
are dependant upon the establishment
of its reputation as a newspaper un.

rests, and welfare.

What Came of a Letter.

Nj OEAA JohH'
.N1 In answer to your dear letter
Of last Sunday wish to say, that
DR.. North does call here about once a
week. He used to be anxious about my
health, and then too he seemed to like
to discuss music and art with me. We
are very good friends.
Now, John, you ask me point blank If
am in love with the doctor. There is
no sense in running on in this fashion.
I write merely to tell you that you
needn't be afraid. He says l am an
inspiration to him. The goodness only
knows what he sees in me am such
a humbug musically, intellectually and
artistically that a man of his calibre
should see right through me. He never
suspects that have not taken his medi-
cine for months The fact is John 1 am
getting better day by day. You know
the world is full of tired women. Some
are tired mentally, some tired physically,
and a few unfortunate ones suffer from
both mental and physical fatigue. The
society woman is worn out by a con-
tinual round of social duties. A work.
ing woman is worn out by real bodily
fatigue and dull routine. Something
more than that Is the matter with me
John. You know for years have suf-
fered from nervousness, lack of sleep at
night, backache, and when the social
season was over was almost dead, but,
thank goodness, John, am much
stronger woman now, and feel that |,
can take care of that cute, little cottage
which you and l are going to occupy

UNIONS INVITE JEROME.
To Be Present At the Building Trades

The Building Trades Alliance. which has

the rank and file OF the unions, even In his
own organization-the Plumbers and Gas

resigned as president OF that body, but
none Of the members would confirm the
report.
His successor, William j. Mason OF the
Marble Cutters Union Ia the leader OF the
conservative element in the alliance He
represented his union on tho general arbi-
tration board before the strikes and lockout
and was a candidate two months ago for
the presidency OF the board. which con-

employees.
While the alliance as body is on record
as opposed to the arbitration agreement
its unions individually are not. On this
subject Mason said yesterday:
-The organizations by their own votes
have not repudated the arbitration agree
ment, but there must be some modification
Of the plan, which, on the whole, favors the
employers. !. for one, want speedy settle
ment Of the troubles, but none Of us intends
to see the breaking up of the unions.
He then said that he would propose
plan to the men to the effect that three
representatives Of each locked out union
meet with the employers and try to hit on
a plan OF settlement Four OF the unions
had agreed to this plan and there were two
more to hear from, he said.
The alliance met yesterday evening and
ordered more strikes. James j. DAILY, who
has resumed his functions as press COM
mittee, said that the unions would keep on
striking where non-union men were put
to work.

DIAMOND CUTTERS STRIKE.
One New York Factory Proprietor Ma
Havc His Work Done Abroad.


Because Edward Van Dam would not
grant a 80 per cent. increase in wages to
the diamond cutters and polishers at his
factory, l0l Beekman street, the force
Yesterday went on strike. He says that
he can import all the stones he desires
from his factories at Antwerp and Am
sterdam where he employs $50 men.
The Diamond Polishers Protective Union
of America is expected to appeal to the
F,,ropean union, with which it is affiliated, to
Interfere with this programme, but there Is
little expectation OF sympathehc strike
abroad, where several thousand cutters
returned to work only few weeks ago
after several months of idleness due to
labor union troubles.
A customs duty of 10 per cent. is collected
on unset cut stones, while those in the
rough are free. Mr.. Van Dam says that
he can afford to pay this, as labor in Europe
il much cheaper, a skilled man there work
ing for an equivalent o. Sl4 week, while
in New York the same man gets $40 Fifty
men were employed in the Beekman street

in the last few days. In most OF them

UNIONISM DOOMED IN CHICAGOr
Fixture OF Meat Strike May start Fight AL
Along the Line.

CHICAGO, Aug. Safeguarding the stock
yards strike as now approaching certain
and complete collapse, wholesale employers
OF labor in Chicago are declared to con-
template taking advantage OF the situation
to wrest the city from Its position as the
stronghold Of organized labor in America.
While refusing to admit it. the closing down
OF great industrial institutions, such as Is
said to be the intention OF the manage
ment of the Pullman Car Works. is merely
an incident, it is averred in the movement
1t is estimated that 225 600 men employed
in great industrial plants of the country
are In momentary peril Of being made idle.
Organizations and individuals are con-
tributing to their utmost, and far below
the city streets, where human moles are
perfecting a great underground transfer
system, opponents Of unions profess to see
a powerful agency that will assist them
through weakening the hitherto invulner-
able Transfers Union-the bulwark OF
trades -unionism In Chicago.
Favorable reports received from the
different packing centres throughout the
country induced the executive board of
the Amalgamated Meat Cutters to-day
to keep up the struggle. The members of
the board who favored calling the strike
of were won over by the others and tonight
the union officers assumed the aggressive
and ordered the live stock handlers out.
Should the 600 members Of the live stock
handlers union respond to the strike order
it will be felt more by the independent pack
ers more than by the big concerns against
whom the fight had been waged for the
mast seven weeks.
