ONE BURLINGTON MILL
GRANTS A 9-HOUR DAY
Horatio Hickok Company Breaks this
Ranks of Those Standing OFT
Against Demand of 700
Workmen.

Burlington, June 7.--F L. Burgess,
president of the Horatio Hickok com.
pany, the employees of which have beea
ON a strike for several weeks, announced
to the men yesterday that they would
be granted nine-hour day, beginning
with this morning. This is the first
concession on the part of an employer
of labor along the lake front, and some
look upon it as the beginning of the
end of the strike, although no other mill
men had followed the examplsflast even
ing and most of them annoanced their
intentions of holding out.
The shortening of the working day is
not attended by any advance in wages,
for the strikers at no time made de-
mands along that line. The Hickok mill
employs about l75 men and at the time
of the strike had about 1855 on the pay
roll. OF this number about 90 have
remained at work, so that the change in
hours affects about 100 of the strikers,
who will now 90 back to work.
Previous to this order. about 700 were
out on strike froT the mill of the Hick-
ok company, Robinson Edwards COM
pany. Shepard q Morse company, j. r.
Booth and W. & u. G. Crane. Colonel
Burgess served notice several days ago
on the other mill men, whose employees
are ont on strike, that he would grant
the nine-hour day. The news was re-
ceived at the union headquarters yestcr-
day afternoon with cheers, and most of
the men seemed pleased at the prospect
of going back to work.

WASHINGTON.-Col John S. Mos
W by, known some years ago to the
good people Of the north as a guerril-
"a. and occasionally as something
worse, a man who, it is said, went
.bout his raiding with a price on his
'ead, lives in Washington today and
goes about its streets sturdily, with
his head up, his eye bright and his
'elcon nose as warlike in expression
'or noses have expression-as it was
II the days of civil strife.
Two years ago Colonel Mosby was
taken to hospital to be operated
upon for appendicitis. The surgeons
told him that he probably could not
pull through. "1'll pull through" he
said, and he did. Recently he has
been writing stories about his civil
war career, taking up the pen just aft
er stepping off the lecture platform.
Last winter the old ranger went into
Connecticut to speak in village
which, during the Civil war days, had
been the scene Of a meeting called to
execrate Mosby's method of warfare.
The union veterans turned out to meet
the former confederate, and gave him
a somewhat warmer reception than
their comrades had been able to give
him at any time during his raiding ca
reer.
Colonel Mosby did not attend the
last reunion of the men of his com
Eaand. He has not, in fact, attended
their reunion for some years, because
it is said there was feeling against
him because he became federal Of

Dances Planned for City Buildings

ID OSTON.-Public dances In mu-
- nicipal buildings, with proper re-
stricttons and chaperonage, is the
suggestion advanced by Miss Alice
P. Vanston of the Social Service
House, as remedy for the conditions
in the dance halls:
II want to say first of ALL" Miss
Vanston replied, when asked her opin-
ion on the dance problem, that there
should be some place where the girls
and boys can dance. It may be that
the chief injury done by the public
dance halls comes from the fact that
very young children are admitted to
them.
Boys and girls get their first and
only idea of dancing from what they
see in these halls. The remedy for
this has been suggested In the rails
ing of the age limit from seventeen to
twenty-one years. This would cut out
from the enjoyment of very limo
cent recreation a very large number
of young people. The enforcement
Of proper conditions and careful su-
pervision would be better, it seems to
me, than this discipline by elimina-
ton.
when a girl is shut up in a fac
tory all. day she must have some
other exercise, and dancing gives her
a good general exercise, which she
can enjoy with music nd among her
equals.

Mystery of the u. S. Army Uniforms

WHO is responsible for the many
" unnecessary ond idiotic changes
in our army uniforms? Those who
have suffered most, officers of the
regular army and of the National
Guard, long suspected that the general
staff could, If it We're so minded, throw
some light upon this outrage.
Recently the Army and Navy Jour-
nal editorially assured the victims
that the general staff was innocent.
