Japanese Naval Secrecy.
@ London Telegraph

From the London Telegraph.
Nothing In modern warfare has been
more remarkable than the success with
which the Japanese have screened their
feet from the eyes of the world. For nine
months we have had no authentic news of
the warships OH which hangs the fate OF
the island kingdom. They were in action
off Port Arthur on August 10, and some
cruisers fought the VIaditostok cruisers on
Korea a few days later. sinking the Rurik.
Since then not word has the cable sent
us of intelligence as to the condition of the
ships, their organization for the coming
conflict or their movements, apart from
calls made by some scouts in the Southern
China seas
This silence is magnificent testimony to
the complete success of the measures which
have been taken to hide the feet until it
is needed. Throughout the war Admiral
Togo has kept his forces out of view until
the moment for action has arrived. and
then they have risen over the horizon to
disappear again soon as the particular
duty has been completed. Yet Japan is in
cable communication with Vladivostok,
Shanghai and Formosa, and is within about
forty hours steaming of the China coast.
Secrecy of preparation Is necessary to a
surprise, and surprise is the essential fac
tor in naval even more than in land war
fare Admiral Togo. wherever he may be
and presumably he is still In the vicinity
Of Japan-has this maxim In mind.

STRIKE DECLARED OFF
LOCAL LABOR BODIES SETTLE
THEIR DIFFERENCES.
Lockout Ends and Paperhangers and
Painters Return to Work
Terms Agreed Upon.

The strike of the journeymen paperhang-
ers and the lockout of the painters by the
Master Painters Association have both
been declared of, and the men are at work
today as usual.
The struggle of the paperhangers was
long one, the strike having been in effect
for several months. The painters had
been out for several weeks. Their lockout
was due to the fact that the painters
union. which Is affiliated in the national
organization with the paperhangers, called
out all journeymen painters who were at
work on buildings on which non-union
paperhangers were employed.
The Master Painters Association resented
this action. and after comforting with the
Master Paperhangers' Association the
painters lockout was determined upon and
carried into effect.
The contest then commenced in earnest.
the master paperhangers and painters on
one side being arrayed against the journey
men of those crafts on the other side. For
long time the negotiations between en-
ployers and employees appeared to be I'M
satisfactory, both sides being apparently
unyielding.
Finally Vice President Hedrick of the
National Brotherhood of Painters, Deco
rators and Paperhangers, with which both
local unions are affiliated. came to Wash
ington for the purpose of pouring oil on the
troubled waters. He saw at once that the

Position of Master Painters.
The master painters declared positively
that as condition precedent to the consid-
Grafton of the demand of the journeymen
for an increase of wages from So 20 to $3.50
day, all painters who had been called off
from work on buildings on which non-union
paperhangers were employed should be put
back to work
The master paperhangers declared that as
a condition precedent to the consideration
of an advance in pay to 81. so per day, all
ex-union workmen who had remained at
work with their employers while the strike
was in progress should be reinstated
members in good standing in the paper
hangers union without the imposition of
fines or reprimands
These declarations the part of the en-
ployers were the principal bones of conten-
ton, and for long while both sides de-
cliDed positively to yield.
Vice President Hedrick favored arbitra-
ton, and several meetings of the bosses
and representatives of the two unions were
held. The final result was an agreement
which brought the strike and the lockout
to a close and restored the idle men to
their jobs.
