UNEASY EATERS
Twenty Thousand Men Are Now Ready 10 Go Out-Will Be
 First In 12 Years.

New York, July 24.-The first gen. eral strike in twelve years of the United Hatters of America, involving 10000 men throughout the country, is now threatened against the open shop, which the National Fur Felt Hat Manufacturers association pro- poses to introduce. The open shop declaration is contained in a resolu- tion of the manufacturers to abolish the union label.
 Conferences between the executive committees of the union and the as sociation, held at the Broadway Gen. tral, at which attempts were made to settle the trouble, have thus far been futile. The manufacturers have ask ed for further time and will make a final decision Friday. A majority of the manufacturers, it is said, are against the use of the union label.
 President John A. Moffitt of the United Hatters of America, would not predict whether there would be war or peace, but said that the situation was very serious.
 It was stated for the union matters that if the label is discarded the strike will take place on August 1.

 Greetings

1T IS DANGEROUS
Children Ride On Steps of Ice WagOns-Driyers Not Stern
 Enough With Youngsters.

It is miracle how the army of children that make practice of step- ping on the end of ice wagons manage to escape without being hurt. With three or four large cakes of ice resting on the end boards, which are held in position by slight pin the youngsters hang on and grab at the chunks of ice with as little concern as 1t there was not the slightest risk to life and limb. Some day the city fathers will pass an ordinance pro- hibiting dealers from carting their wares through the public streets in that fashion and then the danger from that source will be lessened con- siderably. Of course the children have no right to go too near these wagons, but this is not a fair way of treating the question.
