AKRON PRINTING
Co. IS uN|0N|zED
A Large Office in Akron,
Ohio, Gives Up the Fight
and Signs Agreement.
It Fought the Union for Four
teen Months But Finally
Had to Admit Defeat.

On Saturday, December 20, the
Akron Printing Co., again became a
union office. On that day an eight
hour union office agreement which
had been made with the Akron Typo
graphical Union went into effect
Every "open shop" rat printer walked
the plank and all of the former en-
ployes who still remained on the strike
roll returned to their former situa-
lions. The force will be increased by
the addition Of several more men in
side Of a few days. They Will give
employment to about fifteen printers.
1t took the management Of the Ak
ron Printing Co. fourteen months to
find out that they couldn't run a non
union shop and pay dividends. When
they became convinced that the open
shop was failure they sent for the
Executive Committee Of the Typo
graphical Union, and in less than two
hours a satisfactory understanding had
been reached.
The members Of the Akron Union
are jubilant over their we'll earned VIC
tory. The men on strike had been out
for over fourteen months, and they
had stood by the union and their prin-
ciples in a manner which should call
| for unstincted admiration.
This is the first office which has
been won by the Akron Union since the
beginning of the strike, but from pre-
sent indications it is only matter of
few weeks, before other struck shops
will fall in line and concede the eight
hour day.

FRANK HAYES TELLS
ABOUT OLD TINE MEN
Some of the Old Time Came
sters Who Made Duluth
Their Home.
They Were All Good Fighters,
and Every One Got His
Moneys Worth.

Sixteen years ago. when Duluth was
best people in the manly art made
Duluth their home we used to see some
good "goes." I told you last week that
I would write about some of the old
timers in this issue. The first one
who comes to my mind is that big,
good natured Irishman, Pat Killen,
who in those days was the coming
man." We old timers thought he
would be the candy to put up against
the mighty John l..
In those days no better or more
clever put on the boxing gloves He
however, ran up against fellow who
did not weigh as much as Killen, but
who was game as they make them.
This latter is we'll known to every Du-
luthian today, He is now one Of our
most popular citizens, and one of the
best fellows who ever drew the breath
of life. He was matched against Kill
len, and in the fight it developed that
he did not know what quit meant. He
had whipped everyone of his own
weight who had come to Duluth. and
he did not pretend to be a champion.
He never shirked fight, and was
ever willing to meet all corners. The
only way to whip him was to knock
him out, and he was only knocked out
by one man, and that was by the best
Scotchman who ever stepped into a
ring; also a champion at 165 pounds in
his prime. His name was John P
Glow. This was after Pat Killen broke
our little contractors jaw in ten
round fight. Killen did not stop him
at that.
I went to his dressing room after the
fight in company with DR.. Graft, Ions
ago dead. who put his broken jaw ir
shape. He said to Glow and T.
"Well l did the best could, but
gave the big fellow fight, didn't l."
looked him over and said:-"Paddy
you are not very clever, but If yor

,ato that those documents for years played
an important role in European diplomacy
AS nearly as can be made out they were
a series OF confidential letters supposed 70
have been written by Prince Bismarck TO
a German ambassador at a European
court in which the chancellor explained
Germany's secret designs on the Balkans
secret designs which we're just the con-
trary of its public policy.
These letters came into the hands OF the
empress Of Russia. As a Dane she had
never forgiven Prince Bismarck for the
schleswig- Holsteln war, and she was un-
doubtedly only too glad 20 believe that
he was playing a double game. The car
also believed the documents 10 be genuine
and this belief It was that gave rise TO the
new Russian foreign policy, which cul-
minated in the -Prussian alliance.
In spit OF Alexander HIS pro-German
sympathies (his love and respect for the
old Emperor William had been boundless)
his conviction Of the perfidy OF Prince Bis
marck caused him to DO all in his power
10 avoid close relations with Germany.
In 1887 the car. much against his WILL

presence OF what he regarded as the
hypocrisy and duplicity Of the German
statesman, and ne burst out on him with
reproaches for the double game he was
playing. In order to convict him he
produced the famous documents and then
the House OF Cards collapsed. In FIVE min
utes Prince Bismarck convinced Alexander
III that they were impudent forgeries and
the whole intrigue 30 laborously built up
crumbled to pieces The curious thing was
that from that moment no statesman stood
higher in the confidence OF the car than
the iron chancellor and though this did
not prevent the entente with France from

There are ordinary trains twice a week,
bu the Transsiberian express which leaves
Moscow every Wednesday night is the train
by which travellers for the far east go. 1t
is unsurpassed for comfort by any other
train in the world.
TT is composed exclusively OF dining
cars, smoking cars, sleeping cars and bath
ing cars There is always a hot water
supply for baths. The train includes a
BARRIERS shop, cafe depot in which every
passenger has his private safe. There is
also a gymnasium, a special feature OF
which is the provision for bicycles COT the
home trainer type on which passengers
may stretch their legs and exercise.
There is also a smoking car for ladies'
as well as for men and the samOvar for
the making OF tea is always going. The
train is lighted by electricity, each car
having its own accumulators. which are
automatically filled by Stones patent, b.
which the current is created by the wheeli
