FURNITURE WORKERS LOSE.
Grand Rapids Employees Vote AInos
Unanimously to Return 70 Work.

Unanimously to Return TO Work.
Grand Rapids, Mich. Aug. 19-Strik-
ing furniture workers Of this city end
ed their seventeen-week combat with
their employers, voting to call the
strike of and return to work. 1t Is
said the vote Of the workingmen was
almost unanimous.
The strike had been on for seventeen
mined fights between organized labor
and organized employers in the his
tory of the city. For months before the
struggle began both the men and the
manufacturers were organising and
preparing for a 1ong fight
The men demanded nine hour day
instead OF ten, 10 per cent increase in
wages and recognition Of the union.
The employers declined to concede any
OF these points. setting up the claim
tina: 1t would be impossible for an In
crease in wages until all furniture con-
Germs turnout the country saw At to
make the same advance.
The strike involved about 5000 men,
including six unions-cabinet makers,
trimmers and packers, machine hands,
flnishers. upho!sterers and wood cary
ers.
During their idleness the men lost
three times what the benefits came to-,
or close to a half million dollars in
wages. The losses to the manufacturers
can not be estimated. The act Of the
strikers in calling off the strike was d.
rectly due to the fact that the national
body failed to send further strike bene-
fits. 1t is said.

not only be regulated and controlled,

opinion Is that this class OF adver-

subject to control and regulation by
the police power of the state. but that
II might be entirely suppressed by
statute. and that, too. without offend
ing against either the state or federal

FIFTEEN HOURS TO CROSS SEA
Grahame- White Predicts England Ne

New York. Aug. lo.-An aeroplane

How much horse power would such
giant plane have to develop?'
"Oh. should say perhaps $4,000
horse power" said the aviator
"And what Will make such vast
power-coal. steam or gasoline?''
well, can not say: but it may

veloped our engines 30 by that time 1t

"And battle planes. Will they. too.
be on such a vast scale?"
II should say they will hardly be
so Ions, but they will have equally
vast power. I expect TO see the nrst
battle OF the next war settled decisive

"And the present types OF battle

Louise Seymour Houghton in the Sur

learning a language so quick and SO

Syrian Peddlcrs No. eceoars.

Among our Syrian immigrants
peddling Is not merely thin veneer to
disguise begging Many highly intelli-
gent and benevolently disposed Amerl-
can ladies deem it so. and In the kind
ness of their hearts report to the Char
ity Organiza ton Society OF their city
the woman who offers embrolderies at
their door, convinced that she must be
in desperate straits. From the charity
visitor these peddiers reful aims. and

change their mode OF lite, to give up

The two points OF view are almost
ludicrously, If not tragically, apart.
They lie in different planes and are
incapable OF meeting. The peddier Is
a free man--more often, no doubt, a
free woman. Why should she give up
the open air, the broad sky. the song
Of birds, and the smile OF flowers, the
right to work or to rest at her own
pleasure. to immune herself within four
noisy walls and be subject to the strict
regime CT the clock? Why should she

the charity visitor meets In such a case
is in fact the deafness Of one addressed
In an unknown tongue.
When the woman Yields and aban-
dons peddling for less congenial (and
usually less profitable) work, she yields
not to argument. but subtle and keen
consciousness that her social standing

PROPOSED BATTLEFlELDS PARK
Its Establishment at Fredericksburg
Endorsed by Army Of Potomac.

At the 39th annual reunion Of the
Society of the Army Of the Potomac
held at Sharpsburg, Nd, Sept. l6 and
II. 1910, the following resolution III
reference to the proposed Fredericks-
burg National Battefelds Park was un-
animously adopted:
Resolved, That the Society OF the
Army of the Potomac reiterates its ap,,
peal for a Fredericksburg National
Battlefelds Park, and again calls the
attention of the President and Congress
to the unfair discrimination against the
East in the number of National Parks
and the appropriations therefor. The
East has Gettysburg and Antietam'
with an appropriation of three-guar'
ters of a million. The West has Chick
amaugs, Mission Ridge, Orchard Knob,
Lookout Mountain, Shiloh and Vicks'
burg with appropriations of more thar
three and half millions. In the twelve
miles square around Fredericksburg one
hundred and twenty-nine thousand sol
diers we're killed or died Of disease. M
other territory East or West has Sc
