PINKS ASK EXPOSE
OF THEIR METHODS
BE BLOCKED BY LAW

J. CHICAGO, March IL. - Th'
Pinkerton Detective Agency has
entered the courts here asking
for an Injunction to restrain
Charles A. Seringo, a former de-
tective IN the company's employ,
sfrom publishing a book entitled
''Pinkerton's Cowboy Detective
The company alleges in its petit
ton that the book will do great
damage to its business, inasmuch
as SeringO has used in his story
the names of prominent manu-
facturers and politicians who
have at times furnished the
agency with Information in its
fights against organized labor.
LIN a word the PinkertOns ad-
NIT that Serin&o knows too much
about the sneak work of the
agency and the publication will
involve many men who are now
posing as friends of labor.

Workers Of Country, Thoroughly
Aroused to Interests at Stake,
Are Prepared to Back Street
Car Men to Victory at Any
Cost-0ther Branches Of Labor
Fast Becoming Involved.

PHILADELPHIA, March 1.-THE
strike of the employees of the Phila-
delphia Transit comptny, from COM
paratively small beginning, now
threatens to become nation wide.
Already ~other organized bodies in
the, state have struck in sympathy
with the carmen and the latest dev-
elopment shows that the American
Federation OF Labor is ready to back
up by national strike, if necessary,
the fight Of the Philadelphia workers
against oppression.
The street car strike from the first
has received the sympathy of the pub
lie in the City of Brotherly Love. The
overbearing methods and arrogant
tactics of the transit company and
the readiness with which subsidized
public officials, headed by Mayor
Reyburn, placed the citys police and
fire departments at the command of
the public service corporation has still
further augmented the feeling.
Officials Recognize Mistake.
Mayor Reyburn and Director Of
Public Safety Clay now see that they
failed to accurately guage the public
pulse. They realize their mistake and
have admitted as much, but have
committed themselves too deeply and
cannot turn back 3.
The calling in of the steel trusts
private body guard, the so-called
state consta bulary, and the brutal
methods these Cossacks have adopted
in dispensing crowds on the: streets
has still further inflamed the populace
until the general. public are now ready
and ripe for any extreme methods
whatsoever, so long as they result
in defeat for the transit company.
On all sides men have laid down
their. tools in sympathy with the
street car men, Much has been said
by the employers about the breaches
of contract involved, but it has been
quickly pointed out to them that in
time of war there can be no violation
of contract and the present struggle
has developed into an open war on
organized labor with the employing
interests solidly ranged, on the side
of the transit company. J $50.
Threatened to Jail Heads.
Various drastic measures have been
suggested by the capitalist element
to cow the strikers. AT one. time
the past week it was decided to throw
the leaders Of the strike, movement
into Jail on a.. charge Of conspiracy
but cooler heads, realizing that this
would still further infame the public
mind, advised against it successfully.
/ Now along the heel of the week
5thea strikers have been encouraged
and stiffened in their herculean task
by the report that the Federation: OF
Labor will throw its weight into the
balance in their aid. 81
1t is even hinted that nation wide
strike may be called II before the
cause Of the Philade elphia comrades
will be allowed to go d down to defeat.

co OUT ON STRIKE
FOR A LOWER WAGE

LYNN, Mass. March ia
strike that was somewhat unique
in that {: number OF the strikers
demanded lower wages than they
are receiving at present, took
place in this city Monday when
the ''levellcrs'' in twenty-five
shoe factories refused to begin
their days work.
The strike was due to the re-
fuSal OF the manufacturers to
agree to uniform wage scale of
80 cents for each dozen pairs of
shoes handled by the Jewellers.
Three hours after the strike
had been declared, the manage
ment of eleven factories signed
the new agreement. and forty
strikers returned to work. In
nearly all of the factories which
accepted tho scale demanded, the
men went back to work at lower
wages than they had been re-
ceiving.
In the other fourteen factor
les the men will receive higher
wages if the demands are
granted.

POLITICIANS FEAR
IMMIGRATION MAY Be
Center Of ACTION

WASHINGTON, D. c., March II.
Foreign editors, representing $50
newspapers published in foreign Ian
guages and printed in the United
States, have presented to the house
committee on immigration and ma
turalization, data, which, coming
from those who have every reason
not to exaggerate the tremendous
pressure Of immigration upon the
conditions Of labor in America, is tho
most remarkable piece Of evidence OF
its kind ever offered to congress.
These editors set forth in their
memorial that:
"Of the 100000 miners, mining the
coal to operate the great industries
100000 are our people.
"Of the $4,000 steel and iron
workers employed in the different
plants throughout the United States
SO per cent, according to the latest
statistics of the steel and iron indus
tries, are our people.
The arrival of these foreign edi-
tors in Washington is~ taken as. esa;:rel a :crel
ply to the massing of forces in the
capitol demanding restriction of
American Federation Of Labor, the
Farmers Unions, the Immigration
Regulation League, with headquarters
in Boston, and a powerful movemen:
on the Pacific coast particularly di.
rected against the Japanese.
That this wave of Opposition to inn
migration may become the vivifyins
force of united political action
throughout the United States is fear
ed by the regulars of the Republican
and Democratic parties who secretly
acknowledge that the formation o;
an American labor party is only a
matter of months. 49,,
These politicians point out that
such representative bodies as the New
York Central Federated Union and
the Chicago Federation of Labor have
recently passed resolutions calling for
the formation of a labor party, and
that President Gompers left Wash
ington for Chicago last Saturday to
attend convention of delegates from
the Society of Equity, and a number
of similar farmers organizations, call:
ed to consider, in joint session with
delegates from organized labor, the
advisa bility of political action.

OverWOrk Conditions Numerous.
The actual conditions in the various
Steel plants which are the real motive
for congressional suppression of the
eight-hour bill can be plainly traced
in the testimony of: the following
men before the committee on labor
given at a previous session:
Mr.. Eugene c. Grace. general SUI
perintendent of the Bethlehem Steel
company said in answer to a ques-
tion: .'The normal length of work
day Gin Bethlehem) is ten hours per
day X we have a great deal
of over time out of necessity
Machinery Mades IL Hours Possible.
Mr.. Walter jerks, general super
intendent of the Bar and Hoop de-
partment Of the Carnegie Steel Co..
said: 1--WE had about twelve men
working eight hours. That was on
account of the positions being par
ticularly laborious. -, Since then we
have installed machinery and taken
the heavy part Of it out and these
men are now working twelve hours
per day." .I.
Mr.. James Null. superintendent of
the VIM. Cramp & Sons Co., of Phila-
.delphia, in answer to a question by a
member of the committee as to what
he thought was a. reasonable work
day, stated: MANY of fhe men would
be better off If they worked fifteen

GOVT OFFICIALS ARE
USED AS PAWNS BY
BETHLEHEM STEEL CO

WASHINGTON, D. c., March If
With contracts amounting, to forty
,mNlions of dollars the Bethlehem
Steel company, whose employees are
on strike, has succeeded in blocking
the passage of the bill calling for
eight hours on all work done for; the
United States government. This is q
measure for. which organized labor
has been petitioning for years. -
The Bethlehem Steel company's
power to move Washington officials
like pawns has cropped out in an
other direction. Asked by Repre-
sentative Rainey as to where govern
ment ordnance, was being manufac-
tured, Chief of Ordnance General
Crozier asserted tina, all the work
was being done in government plants.
Now comes a statement from men
working. at Bethlehem that the cast
ings for the fourteen..inch gun that
was tried out and. burst at Sandy
Hook three weeks ago, were all made
at Schwab's works. On top of this
the machinists assert that the govern
ment plant at iWatervliet, N. ~, s. lis

FASHIONS FOR FALL
COSTUME OF PROPERLY DRESSED
WOMAN DESCRIBED.
Hat is Hioh-Crowned, Wide
Brimmed Beaver, Suit of Broad
cloth In Semi-Empire Style
Wide Fur Scarf and Muff.

It is impossible to give better re-
sumo of the fall fashions in general
than by taking as text one modish
woman properly gowned. From nat
to skirt such woman illustrates ad-
mirably all the newest and smartest
tendencies.
The hat first. Then new high
crowned and wide-brimmed beaver,
much wider in the back than in the
front, where the brim is lowered as
in the steeplechase hats OF another
season. The hat itself is blue-black,
but the lining Is of old-rose satin,
feature that is to be marked IN au-
tumn millinery. Not only hats, how
ever, but suits also are to be lined
with silk or satin of strongly con-
trasting color-a sort of reaction from
the somber shades that in general
fashion has imposed upon us.
The willow plume, OF slightly
brighter old rose, is arranged rather
lar back on the right side, in the up
standing military effect that we have
renamed the chantecler. There is no
juliet lTlLuIl1uS Ou Lu0 udI, IAO SA0SS
aimed at being rather striking sim
plicity than ornate elaboration.
The suit is of plum-colored broad
cloth, cut in a semiempire style, with
ines closely conforming to the figure,
with a swallow-tail coat whose waist
line is higher than we have been &C
customed to seeing of late. The
sleeves are full-length and rather
loose, widened in sailor fashion at the
cuffs and ornamented with row OF
i've large white pearl buttons.
These buttons are repeated at the
side Of the skirt, which is narrow in
cut without being tight, and itself is
clinging and almost trailed at the bot
TOM The coat is double-breasted and
fastened by these same pearl buttons.
White, black and smoked pearls are

ters this fall.

mirable examples Of the autumn fash
ions in furs. Gray shares with white
and black the favor Of the fur wearers

A NOTE OF SYMPATHY

Immediately on knowing of death in the
family of a friend should show formal recog
milton of the fact even though the acquaintance
he slight Only If one is really old friend does
one send a note or so to the house. but unless
some attention is paid to the affection those who
are undergoing it have way of knowing
whether the others from whom they have not
heard are aware of 1t.
To post ones visiting card or, better still, tc
leave it at the house in person is the most lorna
way one may do. Something may be written OF
the card or not as chooses; but, generally
speaking If one writes at all the form should
take that of a note and not line on card
which NAV always be considered casual saving
the bother of a note. The card, which should be
accompanied also by that of the husband when
a woman is married is addressed to the widow
or widower as the case may be, to the parents
when the death has been that of a child.
Flowers which may be sent addressed tc
the head of the house and visiting cards are
placed in the box 1t is not good form to send
them when funeral notices request that flowers
shall be omitted. If is keenly DESTROYS of ex-
pressing sympathy which is felt, may wait
until after the funeral services and send flowers
to the person most deeply bereaved, as the wife,
or widow. Only at that time are blossoms re-
ceived by an individual; that is, any sent before
funeral are supposed to be for use at the ser
vices and are not retained in the house Those
sent several days afterward undoubtedly
meant for the use of the individual to whom they
are addressed
1t is a very pretty thought to show such an
attention a week or after funeral, for those
In affection are more than apt to feel that their
grief is quickly forgotten by their friends who
are all sympathy at first 1t is not necessary that
any note shall accompany the box, but the receipt
ent is required to send note of thanks, written
either by herself or another member of the fam.
