MESSENGER BOYS
STRIKE Is OVER
Leaders, After Alley Conference,
Tell Their Followers To
Return to Work

The strike OF the Western Union
messenger boys was officially called
OF, Thursday morning, and about 80
boys returned to work of their own
accord. The strike was brief and
bloodless. The boys walked out
Wednesday night, after their demand
for increased wages was refused
Pickets were stationed around the
telegraph Office. Congress and Shelby.
SITS. and the strikers threatened to
beat up" any boys who attempted to
carry messages. During the night
and early morning, messages were
sent from the Office by telephone and
the wage dispute of the messenger
boys failed to embarrass business TO
any appreciable extent.
What prompted the boys to sudden
ly terminate the strike is not known
n fact. very few or the Juvenile wage
earners knew exactly what the strike
was all about, except that they wanted
more dough" The boys occupied a
corner across the street from the tel
egraph Office, from which point n
close watch was kept on the once
and also on two burly police officers
stationed in front of the building
Shortly after 10 o'clock, the leaders
OF the strike movement held a secret
conference In the alley at the rear OF
the telegraph Office and decided to re-
turn to work.
I'VE are taking all the boys back
aagin." said Manager McGrath, but
II Is expected that the leaders will
shortly be told TO hunt elsewhere for
jobs.
II don't know what prompted the
boys to strike" said Mr. McGrath. Il
CUES sthe hot weather had something
to do with IT, We are paying the
boys good rates for carrying mes
sages. Most OF them did not want to
strike, but they we're afraid of the
leaders"
Several months ago the Western
Union messenger boys went out on a
strike for higher wages. Manager
McGrath said that very few OF tue
oil dstrike leaders we're among those
who walked out Wednesday night.

Men and EARRINGS,

Earrings were largely affected in
England by the male courtiers of
the sixteenth and seventeenth cen
turies-a fashion which seems to
have been imported from Spain and
which nightly shocked the Puri-
tans. Usually only one ear was
o~rnamented, as in the portrait of
the Earl of Somerset in the Nation
al gallery. The Duke of Bucking-
ham was famous for his diamond
earrings, while other great men
who followed this mode were Shake
speare and Sir Walter Raleigh.
The last notable example of men
wearing earrings seems to have been
Charles |. himself, who hung a
large pearl in his left ear, which he
presented upon the scaffold to a
faithful follower.
