PRIEST ADJUSTS BIG STRIKE
On a Compromise $500 Men Re-
turn to Work.
Standard Steel Car Company's Works
at Butler. Pa, Resume After
-Four Days Rioting.

Butler, Pa--The strike which for
four days has tied up the Standard
Steel Car Company's works was set
tied, and the $500 employees of the
plant returned to work. The settle
ment is partial victory for both
sides, each yielding points in an effort
to reach an understanding.
The strike was brought to an end
through the efforts of Father f. Bee
zewski, Of the Polish Catholic Church
here, under whose advice the men
have been acting almost from the be-
ginning. Following the presentation
of an ultimatum by the men, Levi M.
Wise, a lawyer, and Father Beczewski
were called into consultation with
company officials The latter agreed
to take back all of the workmen and
consented to reduction of the per-
centage Of delinquent rents taken
from the pay envelopes of the men
each week.
Father Beczewski, acting for the
strikers, agreed to abandon the de-
man for an increase in wages, con-
senting to the company's statement
that it would follow its usual custom
III SUCH IudJleTS. All agreement was
drawn up, which was ratified by the
strikers at a mass meeting held on
the Commons.
Following the announcement of the
settlement of the strike it was agreed
that the twenty-three men in Jail in
connection with labor troubles be re.
leased Immediately on nominal bail
Settlement of the strike came after
events which indicated that the walk.
out would continue for several days.
Following an announcement by
company officials that only individual
grievances would be heard, the strik.
ers formulated an ultimatum making
four concise demands yielding tc
which will insure an immediate ter
mination of the walk-out.
The demands were: That the State
troops be withdrawn; that all strik.
ers in jail in connection with labor
troubles be released Immediately;
that the company treat with com.
mittee representing the men, giving
assurances of an increase in wages as
soon as trade conditions warrant, and
that the percentage of delinquent rent
taken from the pay envelopes each
week be reduced materially.

TELLS BLACK HAND SECRETS
Young Murderer Confesses and Pc
lice Get His AccompIices.

Chicago Tony Baffa, eighteen
years old, who came from Italy three
years ago, confesses to the killing
of Giuseppe Fallipelli, a grocer, al

"On the night Fallipelli was killed
we waited until he came out of the
store carrying the baby. Pasqualls
and ! walked toward vacant lot

the employer and the workingman.
This device consists of a clamp made
of two parallel iron bars, with jaws
at either end and slots in the sides.
This clamp is set down over a row
of bricks and locked with bolt
through the slots, so that the bricks
are held firmly by the jaws. The
clamp also has handle, by means of
which the load may be picked up and
carried about as one would carry a
dress suit case. The advantages Of
this device are several In the first
place, it weighs much less than a
bod and will carry more bricks. In
the second place, If the bricks are
placed in line by another man the
carriers can fill their clamps more
rapidly, providing they will do SO.
In the third place, the workingmen
need not bruise and skin their hands
by handling the bricks. On building
operations where ladders must be
climbed, however, the hod appears to
have an advantage, as 1t leaves both
hands free.

SURPRISED HIM
Doctors Test of Food.


A doctor in Kansas experimental
with his boy in test of food, and
gives the particulars. He says:
i naturally watch the effect of
different foods on patients. My own
little son, lad of four, had been i'll
with pneumonia, and during his con-
valescence did not seem to care for
any kind of food
Il knew something of Grape-Nuts
and its rather fascinating favour and
particularly OF its nourishing and
nerve-building powers, so / started
the boy on Grape-Nuts and found
from the first dish that he liked it.
His mother gave it to him stead
lily, and he began to improve at once.
In less than month he had gained
about eight pounds and soon became
so well and strong we had no further
anxiety about him.
An old patient Of mine, 73 years
old, came down with serious stomach
trouble, and before was called had
got SO weak he could eat almost
nothing, and was in a serious condi-
ton. He had tried almost every
kind of food for the sick without
avail.
II Immediately put him on Grape
Nuts, with good, rich milk and just
little pinch of sugar. He exclaimed
when ! came next day, Why, doctor,
! never ate anything SO good or that
made me feel so much stronger
Il am pleased to say that he got
well on Grape-Nuts, but he had to
stick to 1t for two or three weeks,
then he began to branch out little
with rice or an egg or two. He got
entirely well in spite of his almost
hopeless condition. He gained ~
pounds in two months. which at his
age is remarkable.

SEA WALL SAVES GALVESTON.
Similar Storm to That Of 1000 Passed
Over the City Harmless.

Galveston, Texas. Fortified be-
hind her seventeen-foot sea wall and
elevated to a point above the danger
line, Galveston passed safely through
a hurricane that resembled the dis
astrous storm of 1900. Part of the
island on which the city is situated
was again inundated, the overlooking
sea water reaching height of seven
feet or more. That portion of the
island which has been protected suf-
fered comparatively little harm. No
lives were lost in the city, and the
property damage was not large.
However, at a seashore resort,
Tarpon Fishing Pier, across the bay,
it is supposed that sixteen people
persisted
The dead are: Captain Bettison
and wife, Edward Lewis, C. H. Daily,
circulation manager of The Calves

four negroes. The others were I'M

alS STATES Menace
I INCOME TAX PLAN
Only 81 C0mmOnWeaIths Are
Counted as Certain on Six
teenth Amendment

Washington, D. C.-Will the in
come tax ever become law through
the amendment of the Constitution
by the thirty-five States whose assent
is necessary?
This is a question which is being
discussed gravely here, and the mega
tive answer of most was responsible
for the unanimous vote given the res
olution in the Senate.
Even the most enthusiastic sup
porters of the income tax are not
intoxicated by hope that two-thirds
of the State Legislatures will take
favorable action. Getting down to
cold figures, no one can see at this
time safe majority for the adoption
of the amendment. To obtain ratifi-
cation the amendment, as already
stated, must carry thirty-five States.
Twelve States rejecting it will kill it..
BY not acting either afirmatively or
negatively, few States may prevent
the necessary three-fourths majority,
The States which at this time are
regarded as reasonably sure to adopt
the proposed amendment are:
Arkansas, Nevada,
Colorado, North Carolina
Georgia, North Dakota,
Idaho, Oklahoma,
Indiana, Oregon,
Iowa, South Carolina,
Kansas, South Dakota,
Kentucky, Tennessee,
Michigan, Texas,
Minnesota, Virginia,
Mississippi, Washington,
Missouri, Wisconsin,
Montana, Wyoming.
Nebraska,
In this list are twenty-seven States,
or eight less than the number re-
CURED to adopt the amendment.
In the doubtful column are placed
the following States:
Alabama, Louisiana,
Florida, West Virginia
Illinois, Ohio,
California, New York.
Utah, Maryland.
In this doubtful group are ten
States, and in the third group of
States-those which are regarded by
reason of dominating Influences to be
reasonably sure to reject the amend
ment-are the following nine States:
Maine, Connecticut
New Hampshire, Rhode Island,
Vermont, PENNSYLVANIA,
Massachusetts. New Jersey.
Delaware,
The latter group, it will be noticed,
embraces all of New England. The
casual observer will be inclined to
believe some. of these States to be at
least doubtful, but it is the purpose
here merely to give the views of per-
sons who are very much interested in
the matter and who have already
studied and analysed the situation,
and they place New England among
the hostiles.
