WILL SETTLE STRIKE.
Early Adjustment of Trouble at Sim
\ mons Foundry in Kenosha Is
Now Expected

KENOSHA, Wis, July 2S.-LSpe-
cial Strike conditions in Kenosha re-
manned unchanged this morning. The
men at the Simmons plant are still out,
but the strike affects only the foundry.
and it is certain that no other depart
ments will go out today. The effort of
agitators to get recruits to the strike
in other factories have failed miserably
and predicted strikes failed to material
ize. The striking foundry men are said
to be getting up a wage scale to submit
to the factory managers, but they de-
cline to discuss the matter. An early
settlement of the trouble is looked for.

The classic story Of Pilgrims Prog

familiar to newspaper readers than
is the story itself. This was found to
be especially so when the Christian
Endeavor societies last month studied
VANITY Fair Now we find Chris
tan, his friend Faithful having been
slain at Vanity Fair, with another
pilgrim named Hopeful, in an en-
ounte with Giant Despair and
Doubling Castle-familiar names both.

they tried to take a short cut to their
destination, through By-Path Meadow.

The appalling increase in the num-
Der of suicides all over the world is
one of the darkest signs on the social
horizon. 1t should startle into
thought and action every teacher Of
religion. Has Christianity so lost it's
hold upon mankind that there is no
fear for the future Of a self-mur-
derer? And has it failed to supply the
JOY that makes life worth living,
amidst all conditions? The Bishop of
Durham recently made a striking ar
raignment Of his nation in an article
in the London ''Standard" upon THE
Decrease Of National Courage" He
boldly avowed that the old spirit of
Anglo-Saxon stubbornness and un-
flinching endurance is dying out, and
that the nation is decadent. He but
tressed his position largely by the
increase of suicides and h general
growth Of the power Of Giant Despair
