the 1900 strikers on the Northeastern
railway. swelling the total OF those
out to more than 10000.
The labor trouble has practically

standstill.
The collieries and iron foundries OF
the territory involved In the strike are
preparing to close down Indefinitely
unless the disagreement is settled.
The strike is ostensibly for personal
liberty. Engineer Knox of the North

he was drunk. His fellows insisted he
had a right to get drunk so long as he
attended to his work. The railway OF

HOW THE MOUNTAIN
OF THE BALKANS
CAME TO MAH0MET.

What will there be to remember
OF this in the days to be,
Whose faith was a trodden ember
And even our doubt not free?
Parliaments built of paper, IA
And the soft swords of gold I'll
That twist like a waxen taper
In the weak aggressor's hold, III
A hush around hunger Staying,
A city OF serfs unfed.
What shall we leave for a saving
To praise us when we are deadg
But men shall remember the
That broke its forest chains,
And men shall remember the mountain
When 1t marches against the plains
And christen their children from II
And season and ship and street.
When the mountain came to Mahomet
And looked small before his feet
His head was high as the crescent
OF the moon that seemed his crown,
And on glory of past and present
The light OF his eyes looked down.
One and went out to the morning
Over Brahmin and Buddhist slain
And one to the west In scorning
To point at the scars OF Spain.
One foot on the hills for warden
BY thel little mountain trod,
And one was in a garden
And stood on the grave of God.
But men shall remember the mountain
Though II fall down like a tree.
They shall see the sign of the mountain,
Faith cast into the sea.
Though the crooked swords overcome IL
And the crooked moon ride free,
When the mountain comes to Mahomet
1t has more life thar he.
But will there be to remember
Or what will there be to see,
Though our towns through a long Noyem-
Der
Abide to the end and be?
Strength of slave and mechanic
Whose iron is ruled by gold,
Peace of immortal panic, IL
v that is hate grown cold.
Are these a bride or a warning
we turn not to the sun
Nor look on the and OF morning,
Where deeds at last are done;
Where meii sinai; remember the mountain
When truth forgets the plain
And walk In the way of the mountain
That did not fall in vain?
Death and eclipse and comet.
Thunder and peals that rend
When the mountain came to Mahomet
Because 1T was the end.
