EMPRESS, LOVE FOR CHILDREN

The Empress love for her children
is manifested by her alteration for her
grandchildren, one or-two of which are
always with her at Gatchina. When
the little Czarevitch Alexis was born
her delight was so great that she burst
into tears. This fact puzzled the
cars six-year-old daughter Tatania,
who, after pondering over 1T for few
minutes, remarked ESQ the story runs
In st. Petersburg) that she really did
not know why poor grandmamma was
crying, unless she was disappointed
that there were to be no fireworks In
the park that night for baby" The
Car, owing to the fact that on the
day or the heir apparent's birth the
great battleship Czarevitch, together
with the remainder of the Port Arthur
neet. was dispersed by the Japanese,
decided that there were to be no public
manifestations of joy, and accordingly
the tlme-honored custom of illuminat-
ing the great park at Peterhof was
abandoned.-M. A. P.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 1.-The
strike of the typesetters against the
master printers who have refused to
grant the demand of an eight-hour
working day. has begun in earnest,
Although some of the establishments
in this city have granted the demand
of the typographical union No. 2, a
few others have refused to make the
concession. A large number OF non
union compositors have been import
ed from other cities and the master
printers hope to be able to continue
their business without interruption.
A typesetting school has been in
operation on Arch treet for some
time, at the expense of the master
printers and every one of the young
men graduated from that school will
find a position without any effort or
his part. Among the students who
have been patroni2ing that institution
| are young women, former stenogra-
piers and typewriters, who expect tc
find their new occupation far more
remunerative than their former. Sim
liar schools are said to have beer
opened in New York. Chicago and

union has issued a bulletin, statini
that agreements have been reached
between the employers and about 25C
local unions in various cities all ovel
the country. According to this re-
port only 40 or As cities are affected
by the strike. The International unior
is confident that the master printers
who are still holding out against thu
| demand for an eight-hour day, will
soon be compelled to give in. Some o.

New York, Jan. 1.-The great war
of the Typographical union against
the master printers has begun all
over the country and some local trou-
ole may be expected as the result of
the war. The New York Typothaeta
having rejected the demand of the
typographical Union No. for an
eight-hour day. a general strike of
the typesetters has been ordered,
which involves nearly every large
printing establishment in the city.
Many of the larger houses have for
weeks made efforts to bring non
union printers to this city and al
though a great many of them have
been secured, the strike will, never
theless, cause considerable difficulty
to the local printing trade.
The members of the New York Ty-
pothetae maintain that the granting
OF an eight-hour day would cut their
profits to such an extent that it
would practically drive them out of
business. They assert that the mar
gin of profit in their business Is very
small, owing to the great competition
and any serious reduction of the prof
its would cause direct loss. Never
theless they intend to spend a sum
greater II necessary to win than the
total profits would amount to under
the present number of hours work.
Several thousand non-union printers,
most of whom were employed In some
of the smaller open shops, have been
induced by the owners of larger es-
adjustments to take the places of the
strikers and many of the smaller es-
adjustments will find themselves
practically without help for a short
time only, as the recruits are usually
| incompetent, not having served at the
| business any considerable length OF
| time and therefore not eligible 10

union.

sent out orders all through the coun-
try for non-unlon men, offering them

The differences between the en-
| ployers and the unions which have moi
yet signed the agreements have beer
submitted to the arbitration board

( reached soon. BY deciding to sign
the trade agreement the various
unions have officially repudlated the

ers. AS this would imply, that in case
