McTague. hotel and restaurant
owner, against whom the local
walters strike was directed, recent
ly signed an agreement with repre-
sentatives of the walters cooks,
and bartenders' unions. The strike
opened several months ago when
McTague locked out his white
walters and replaced them with
negroes imported from the South,
to whom he gave contracts for six
months employment. The strike
spread TO all the other fash
ionable hotels and restaurants of
the city. According to the terms
of the agreement, McTague reop-
ened his restaurant September s
with only white walters. Union
walters will receive an increase in
pay of 81 a week and will work 10
hours day, six days week. in
place of IL hours a day, seven days

FEROCIOUS DOLPHINS.
Marine Monsters That Are Known az
Whale Killers,

There really is such Il sea monster
as the whale killer. 1t is one of the
largest and most ferocious OF all the
dolphin family. 1t also is known as
the grampus. 1t is characterized as a
genus by its large size and the conical
and depressed head, devoid of beak
The back fin is of great length, espe-
cially in the males, and the fippers are
large and broadly ovate.
The teeth are comparatively few
In number varying from ten to thir-
teen on each side of the jaw, and are
much larger than in any dolphins yet
noticed, being often an inch or more
In diameter and having an oval sec
tion The coloration Is striking. the
upper parts and fins being black, while
Die lower jaw, chest and under parts
are whitish.
The white area OF the under parts
does not, however extend to the f1ukes,
but ends posteriorly In q trident, Of
which the lateral and shorter prongs
extend obliquely upward on the fianks.
There is q large white streak above
and behind the eye, and frequently at
least purple crescentic area extends
across the back behind the fin. The
killer attains a length Of at least TWEEN.

and fresh victories for the wage
earners. Finally, the capitalists
resolved, is possible. to crush the
union altogether. by means of a
lockout. This determination was
reached just before the outbreak
of hostilities in the Balkans. Meet
ings were prohibited, and leaders
arrested. Misery and starvation
were everywhere. But for eleven
months the men, splendidly led,
held out, and at last they have
achieved the vic.ory they deserved.
The trust has capitulated entirely
the lockout is withdrawn, trade
unionism is to be recognized, and
a great uplift has been given to the
labor cause.

selling bread, but can they make
anyone believe that they are selling
the same amount of bread they did
before the National Biscuit Co.,
Muth's, Baumann and Krug came
into the Hamilton market2 we think
not. 1t is impossible for the Ham
ilton bakeries to still have the
same amount of trade with these
large outside concerns coming in
with their thousands OF loaves
daily. The time is at hand for the
Hamilton concerns to get back the
lost trade that has gone to these
concerns, and that time is now.
If tie baker bosses will get down
from their high horse and unionize
their bakeries the labor unions will
help them to get back that lost
tr.. de, if not, ii will be necessary
to take up the proposition of the
Domestic Science Baking Co., of
Cincinnati to establish an agency
here, backed by the International
Bakery and Confectionery Workers
Union of North America. We
realize that some of the baker boss
es are not at all friendly to or
ganized labor but that feeling will
be bettered if the bosses will con
sent to allow the trades unions to
help them. 1t is all up to the boss
es to say that the labor unions
should help them in their fight
against the outside non union bread
or, whether they would rather have
another agency to come in. Baker
Bosses the unions want TO help
you. DO YOU WANT THEIR
HELP?

Fixed Minimum Wage.

Fort Worth, Tex, Sept. 19. -
In connection with the agitation
for the establishment by law of a
minimum wage for women and
child workers, it is interesting to
note that this city claims the dis
tinction of having established, by
agreement between employing mer-
chants and the Retail Clerks In
tarnational Protective association,
the first minimum wage for women
working in stores. Ten years ago
this agreement fixed the minimum
wage at S5 per week; later it was
raised to Sc and doubtless due at
least in some measure to the agita-
ton carried on by the Retail
Clerks union recently one of the
merchants of Fort Worth has raised
the minimum in his establishment
to So per week, not even beginners
being put to work at less than that
rate.
