receive cid. per hour Thereupon about
dozen came forward and demanded I'd. per

The contractor declining to yield to their

OF the men at once presented a demand
for I'd. per hour. and gave the contractor
until 10 O. o'clock to come to their terms.
When the clock struck 10 they had not re-
ceived q satisfactory answer, and without
hesitation all went away.

ST PETERSBURG, July 81, 1906.
The labor unions have had mighty part
In the revolution that Is now going on in
Russia They have furnished the motive
power as you might say. They have given
an impetus TO the movement that has been
Irresistible although the force has been ex-
pended in a spasmodic, irregular and often
an unconscious manner. Now that the ex-
element has subsidized, labor, like business,
Is demoralized, and the mechanical in
ddstries are in a state of semi-paralysis,
due to the uncertainty Of future events. In
the meantime every trade Is organizing
and as soon as a union is launched a strike
is ordered. There are dozen different
strikes going on in st. Petersburg at this
moment, and each contributes to the gen.
eral Decentralization, but the are only local
hysterical spasms rather than labor move
ments such as We are accustomed to- for in
several cases the men have not known what
they were striking about and several
times employers have found II impossible
to find basis upon which they could treat
for settlement.
A Credulous Giant.
labor in Russia may be compared to a
blindfolded giant, conscious Of his strength
and trying 1t on everything, but this mon
ster is not like Samson. He is free to do
what he pleases. He Is not chained to the
pillars of a temple, but is unfettered and
at liberty to make mischief every time he
raises an arm or takes a step.
Labor unions have not been permitted In
Russia until few months ago. They were
unknown before the general strike OF last
October. Now, as i have said, scarcely q
trade remains unorganized, and the union
of unions might become vast compact
force II II had a competent leader. The
present leaders are incompetent and a
dangerous element because they are very
radical and go to extremes; they have no
allowed to have opinions, and are there
fore impractical and find it difficult to ex-
ercise self-control. Eighty per cent of the
Russian workmen are illiterate. They can
not even read or write. They are soaked
in superstition. are very credulous and will

The First Great Step.
The first step looking toward the con-
struction of an all-Canadian transcontinen-
tai line was taken only four years ago, and
when General Manager Hays of the Grand
Trunk announced the roads intention to
build west from North bay through north
ern Ontario Manitoba and the provinces TO
the coast, there was a ripple Of laughter all
through Canada. There were insinuatlohs
from various high places that Mr.. Hays mad

too far into the still watches Of the Night
and that his mental equipment needed over
hauling. But Mr.. Hays wasn't bothered
little bit He and his advisors talked the
matter over until they knew 1t backward
and sidewise, and the more they talked the
better 1t looked.
OF course 1t was a se!f-ev1oent proposition
from the outset that it would take an out
rageous lot of nerve. let alone capital. for
a private corporation to build the first 700
miles of road from the Atlantic west. "A

the government couldn't afford 1t either, al

HENRY N. INGRAM IN
FINANCIAL TROUBLE.

On Monday morning it was learned
that Henry NJ. Ingram, one Of the best
known and trusted buyers of fruit and
poultry in this part Of Delaware, had
left for parts unknown and left several
persons with claims aggregating up
wards of two thousand dollars. This
was a great surprise, as scores Of re-
spOnsible business men in this vicinity
would have assisted him financially,
had he have called upon them.
The first known of the matter was
from letter written at and mailed
from Chicago, Illinois, addressed to his
brother, which informed him that he
was gone for good and to parts unknown
Joshua Bennett, Jr., who was asso'
ciated with him in the purchase OF
peaches, has a claim of $6O5; John b.
Prettymsn is reported as another credi'
tor for $500 Geo. H. Hall has claim
of $175, which is partly secured.
Henry NJ. Ingram is the oldest son
of Mr.. and Mrs. John b. Ingram OF
Slaughter Neck, who are well known
and respected citizens. No cause for
his action can be assigned ; unless he
has been unfortunate in his fruit specu-
latiOns. The whole affair is a great
blow to his friends as well as a surprise
to the public.
