Decide Future Labor Troubles

NEW YORK, Dec. 30-'l firmly be-
lieve that the day of the strike is
over" said T. V. Powderly, former
head of the Knights of Labor Mr..
Powderly had just arrived in this city
from Pittsburg
Il don't mean by that there is never
to be another strike" he continued,
but do mean that each year will see
fewer causes for strikes and that as a
natural result the strike will be
thing of the past as a means of bring
ing employers and workingmen to ami
cable relations.
Il know of nothing so encouraging
as the recent conferences between cap
italists and laboring men. They have
talked things over in many coDtroyer-
sizes during the past year or 80 and
with the invariable result that peace
full solution Of the problem in hand has

PARIS. Dec. 30.-The members Of
the international commission on the
North sea incident were surprised 10
hear that Admiral Kaznakoff, the Rus
sian member has been recalled, as no
intimation that change was coniem-
plated had been communicated TO the
commission. The dispatch from ST
Petersburg announcing the change was
laid before Admiral KaZnakOff last
night with a request for statement
The admiral returned the answer that
he must decline TO discuss the matter.
The members Of his suit also refused
TO discuss the subject.
The retirement of Admiral Kaznakoff
causes much comment here. 1t is CON
jectured that it is due To renewed naval
activity in Russia in connection with
the possible dispatch of a third squad
ron to the far eass. as KaZnakoff ranks
as Il full admiral and therefore has
seniority over Skrydlof and RojcSt-
vensky, commanders of the first and
second Pacific squadrOnS. II is also
suggested that Great Britain and other
governments having sent vice or rear
admirals to sit on the commission Rus
STA deems it not necessary that she
should be represented by an officer Of
the highest rank.

Improvements at the Eagle mill this
summer will include the erection OF
large addition to the Office, which is
becoming overcrowded and which can
not long meet the needs of the mill.
Architect VIM. Hers is now drawing
plans for the building and work upon
it will be begun within a short time.

countants.

/ toward the west and the addition will
! the present structure. A room 1896
feet will be provided for the main
Office and opening off of it will be two
smaller apartments, each lexis, to be
used by Charles Silverson and William
Silverson as private offices. The
present main office will fall to Charles
1 Vogtel, to be used as a private Office
i by him. Bids upon the building are
+ to be asked for soon and when it is
ready for occupancy the Office force
will be increased.
Work upon the foundation for the
new engine has commenced; the east
wall of the engine room having been
torn out and an excavation made.
This will be filed with concrete and
Kasota stone and when it iS cnmnlatad
the manufacturers will ship the engine
now nearly completed.
Advices received by the mill las
week were to the effect that S. Freeman
& Sons of Racine, Wis, intend ship
ping the big marine boiler, ordered
some time ago, next Saturday. Ir
constructing the boiler delay was
caused through the inability of thu

cause it has seen ft to make public the
actions of the city government as it

that this paper has set out to persecute

these charges we will say that this pa

against any. It has happened that
the former city clerk, in discharging
his duty as an officer employed to care
for the interests of the public, in the
