I,xo,yed in the Strike.

rh;. morning the people of Wilmington
.uckc 20 the painful realization tnae
their city had become involved IN 'no
ors.f "ou,law" strike OF railway switch-
men which has seriously disturbed rsliroad
tr,sc throughout the eastern section
of the country. About l.sOo men,
ronrcsontinr the three trunk lines trav-
.rsing our city, engaged IN the misguioeo
labor rebellion.
Thi. is an unpleasant innovation LOT
o,,r community. Never before did VII
ninr,on hsve a serious strike oy raiiroaa
.,,,lovee. In fact, labor disturbances oi
all kinds have been negligible quantity
IN Wilmington. 70 very surprising extent
for such an industrial community We
lhave had occaeionsl strikes, but none ol
any serious character, or attended with
any moro physical disturbances thah
those naturally consequent upon picket
inc and the other frictions that are IN
senarably connected with such move
ment.. We have, indeed, been rareiv
fortunate insthis respect.
Now the strike is here, we hope It VIII
he free from violent disturbance OF any
k,na The men had a right to quit
work in the eyes Of the law. but that
r,rht does not involve the right to resort
20 violence of any kind to enforce their
demands. 1t is hoped reason will dictate
their actions, and that there VIII he no
occasion for the police authorities TO enter
uron the field for the purpose of preserv-
ing the peace. This, of course, is their
duty. and they doubtless will attend to II
as efficiently as possible. 1t is OF the hrst
importance that the peace be maintaineo'
sc the community will suffer enough from
the labor disturbance and ITS naturai
results. without being afflicted with any
If the evil consequences that nevl'aoN
attend riot and disorder.
L, is matter of deep regret that
railroad employees of this locality teit
impeIled TO enter upon strike at TINS
time. and especially one in contraventioh
of their obligations to the organized iaoof
bodies with which they are connected,
and in violation of the orders of organized
lsbor's official leaders. They have not
the support of public sentiment, and 'heS
should know as well as others that IN the
face of hostile public sentiment move
ments of this character seldom meet
with snv degree of success And II is
doubly unfortunate that these men, OF
snv set of workers in these times OF rush-
ing and profitable industry, have ho'

Value of Waste Paper.

II is the custom Of MANY houscholders
TO dispose of accumulations OF waste
paper. especially old newspapers, Yin
any old way" Many burn them IN
furnaces, thus converting them into
verv slight fuel value, but far too many
follow the slovenly custom OF scattering
them around in all directions, especially
upon the streets. Thus. they become an
unsightly litter and nuisance.
Yet all accumulations OF waste papers
in homes may be utilized in apract'cai
manner and turned into valuable use.
The scrap waste may be tied into com
pact bundles without trouble. and the
newspapers. laid one on top OF another,
can be easily bundled and stored IN the
cellars. A telephone call to Junk deaier
will bring him to the house, with team
and scales, to weigh these bundles oil
scrap paper and old newspapers, ana pay
a reasonable sum per pound 1or 'he'h'
Thus. a stoppage of the waste may
bring in little spending money from
time to time.
From the collectors this paper goes 10
the mills and is converted into new paper,
of various grades, serving very use'ul
purposes. Many of the better grades oi
waste paper are used as pure substitutes
| for ground wood pulp and are used IN max
| inv all kinds of book, bond ledger ana
writing papers. II this kind OF waste was
shnre would pN1Sf
an even greater shortage of wood pup
! from which most of our printing papers
and newsprint paper is made. The waste
| paper used in the above list consists OF OLD
magazines, periodicals, books and all
kinds Of printed matter IN general. Every
pound of this waste that is saved ana
marketed prevents the use OF orie'nai
wood pulp made direct from our trees.
The largest tonnage of waste paper Is
/ called common mixed" and consists oi
any and every sort and scrap OF paper
such as newspapers. waste from tho OF
fees. stores, public buildings and the
homes. The ch ef use of this kind OF waste
is for paper boxes, roofing and building
boards. paper shipping containers (Which
carry up to one hundred pounds OF ireigh'
or expresss and wrapping paper, More
than two million tons OF ordinary waste
paper are used for boxes and shipping
containers alone The public is so ae'
customed TO having its goods IN paper
boxes that it would be dumiounded TO
find their use seriously ourtailed and tins
is what will happen il we do not look
more toward the utilization OF waste
The use Of waste papers for this purpose
prevents the consumption Of over one
billion feet Of lumber annually and II
increasing daily.
We hope the people Of Wilmington
will take heed of this practical Information
and act accordingly Thereby they VII
render an important service to economy
and valuable production. bhey Will adt

tarding il. and at the same time ENJOY

of gorgeous coloring-there were
booths of wonderful Oriental rugs,
others of silk and brightly colored
fabrics, while yet others displayed
rare pottery, wines. COFFEE and spices
and other merchandise Fruit vend
ers paraded the streets with baskets
of tropical fruits on their heads,
while other merchants led donkeys,
laden with grain through the hurry

of the scene, flock of pigeons made
themselves very conspicuous by fly

the donkeys Every language of the
