, earliest writer's for Harper's and Fitz-
hugh Ludlow was another. 1t Is not
generally known that in the maya
zines first decade George William
Curtis wrote several humorous stories
for 1t. 1t is fact that humor great
ly pervaded the earlier short stories
in the period just before and just
after the war.
After the war there was marked
development of the short story. 1t
came through that remarkable group
of Southern writer's, among whom
were Amele Rives, the Princess
Troubetzkoy, Thomas Nelson Page,
George Egbert Craddock Grace King,
of New Orleans; Ruth McEnery Stu
art and Mary Evelyn Moore Davis.
In the North there were some known
before the war, but, most eminent
during the period after the struggle.
These were Harriet Prescott Spot
ford, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Mary
e. Wilkins and Sarah Orne Jewett,
who made New England real for us
and who were all influenced by the
provincial idiomatic pecuiarities of
their environment and made the best
use of them.
"Of this type of short story writer
who draws his inspiration from the
soil | believe that the last noteworthy
example is Owen Wister He gave us
our last glimpse of the pioneer in the
plainsman and the cowboy types, then
passing and now gone. His was the
last glimpse and the consummate
one; there can be no others. Out of
several short stories which he wrote
for Harper's in this vein he con-
structed his novel, THE Virginian.'
within the last decade a surpris-
ing change has come about in the
short story. The short story and the
novel as well now partake more of
psychical character There are not
able examples of that now, whereas
we had none of them forty years ago.
Writers like Henry James and many
others show clearly the influence of
George Meredith. Conrad shows this
influence to marked extent Writ
ers are drawing away from the earlier
influences of environment as the
country is filling up and provincial
peculiarities of this and that section
of it are disappearing. Again they
approach the intellectual and the
analytical.
There has been no such surpris-
ing change in serial fiction as in the
short story, for this is an older form
and capable of no such development
and radical change. There has been
greater and greater element of Gre
ative realism in the novel The
stories of Margaret Deland are nota-
BILE examples of this.
Speaking broadly and including
the short story and the novel alike, 1
should say that this new note of Gre
ative realism is the real mark of a
change in present day fiction"

WOMEN TRADES UNI0NISTs.
What Organization Has Done For
Workers of Great Britain.

Workers of Great Britain.
The extent to which women have en-
tered the trades union movement In
Great Britain has been made q subject
Of study by the bureau of labor of the
department of commerce and labor,
and the result of the investigation Is
set forth in a bulletin written by Mrs
Katherine Graves Busby. Mrs. Busby
finds that from the beginning of the
movement, In 1874. what is now known
as the Woman's Trades Union league
has been the most important agency
In the development Of unionism among
women In Great Britain. This organ
ization has more than 100000 men,
bers.
In 1896, the first year for which COM
parative figures Of woman's, trades
union membership are available, 149
unions included women and girls as
members of a total of 1902 unions. the
female membership at that time being
117,O30, or rs per cent. From 1896 to
1904 the male membership increased
from 1,3S6,709 to 1,76S. 767, or 27.6 per
cent. while the membership Of women
rose from lit, 900 to 126,2S5, or 10 per
cent. In 1907 the organized women
numbered POI, 7O9, gain of 597 per
cent over 1904, while the increase in
male membership, although 436,270,
represented relative increase of only
PAT per cent.
AS to the result accomplished. the
writer says that the womans trades
union movement has been directly re-
sponsible for certain increases Of
wages. has added successful pressure
to the initiation and furtherance Of
protective legislation and through the
Woman's Trades Union league has &C.
cOmplished much toward the conserva-
ton Of health and the promotion of
safety among workers. The woman
trades unionists of Great Britain seek
to secure the betterment of labor con-
ditions through protective legislation
rather than by militant action. They
regard the unions as q medium for
suggestion and as an aid in enforcing
the legal rights of workers.

]. Reid, were called. Several central
bodies and state federations refused
point blank to unseat the delegates
from the Reid locals and their charters
were revoked. Many central bodies
were holding Reid delegates pending pos
sible settlement at the Toronto conven-
ton. Eighty per cent of the electrical
workers of the country belong to the
Read faction and l believe l state the
truth when 1 say the majority of trade
unionists sympathized with the insur
gents. The situation was extremely
critical not alone for the electrical
workers, but the labor movement as
well, because a question of law was in
volved as concerning the recalcitrant
central and state bodies. We were all
very surprised therefore when the COM
mittee to which the electrical contro-
versy was concerned brought in a re-
port which promises an early settle
ment of the unfortunate schism. The
committee re-affirmed the Denver
agreement as basis of settlement and
recommended that a committee of three
be appointed to bring the heads of the
two factions together in an attempt at
settlement. Failing in this the COM
mittee was empowered to arrange for a
joint convention of the two factions for
the purpose of complete amalgamation.
As both Mr.. Reid and Mr.. McNulty
agreed to abide by the report of this
committee if adopted it is believed that
the end of the conflict is in sight as
far as the electrical workers are con-
cerned and that this militant, aggres-
sive craft will soon be a united brother
hood.
Overshadowing all other matters at
this meeting and casting it's black
shadow over every session, was the
Buck Stove and Range case. Just prior
to the converting of the convention, the
court of appeals for the District of
Columbia had handed down its decision
sustaining the lower court in the con-
tempt proceedings and affirming the
Jail sentence for Messrs. Gompers, Nor
rison and Mitchell. The attorneys for
the labor leaders had asked for a stay
of execution long enough to decide on
future action and to formulate an APP
peal if decided upon. Upon the after
noon of the seventh day a telegram
was received to the effect that though
the attorneys for the Buck Stove and
Range company had agreed to an ex
tension of time for entering the decree
of imprisonment, the court had refused
the request. Note the virus of the
court. 1t is nearly without precedent
in like case that when attorneys for
both parties agree to an extension of
time that the court should arbitrarily
refuse The executive council i'm
mediately went into executive session
at their headquarters and the heart of
every delegate went with them. Into
the night the council remained in ses.
sion while groups of delegates sternly
discussed the decision of the court. 1t
was believed at that time that the men
would have to leave the convention al
most at once for Washington, d. c., to
save them from FORGETTING their bonds.
Many were the suggestions made by
the delegates according to their tempera
ment. Some were for adjourning in a
body and convening in Washington,
