y
Workers Expect Large Employers
: to Recognize "Closed Shop

: Jewellers and engravers employed
by the larger firms in Washington
who have been on strike for several
weeks, probably will resume work
by the latter part of this week or
the early part of next week, accord
ing to the belief expressed today by
r A. Callan. president of the Jew
elry Workers Union. Information
has reached him from an authorita-
tive source, Mr.. Callan said, that viz
tually all the larger jewelry firms
have agreed to recognize a closed
shop" and would negotiate with the
union.

POINTED out, walked out principally to
enforce the "closed-shop" principle,
They also submitted demands to their
employers calling for a 20 per cent
Increase in wages.
@Fhe "closed-shop" principle has
been followed by jewelry firms in
Washington for three years, union
sofficials declare. and it was due to
outside influence, they claim. that
the attempt was made to ignore the
union. The question of wage in
creases had little bearing on the sit
uation, according to them.

have robbed several colored women
of sums of money aggregating sew
eral hundred dollars.
Mary Brown, colored, As S street

lieved of $40 by the sharpers about
noon yesterday. She met the men at
LIST and streets, only a short dis
lance from her home, and was told
that they had found a pocketbook
She was willing to share in the find,
she said, and advanced the money.

There was no witness to the shoot

Odisseos and his sister had been
residents of North Carolina until a
few days before the tragedy was en-
acted. and that Koukos had resided
in Norfolk. Koukos drew about $1,000
from a Norfolk bank and told friends
he was to be married.

Government

Wise government can do lot
to brighten up our days; wise
government will hit the spot in
fifty-seven ways. And still we'll
have to buckle down and saw
our share of oak, if we'd have
credit in the town and not be
always broke. Good govern
ment will help us all, if we
should help ourselves, and we'll
have pictures on the wall, and
pies upon the shelves; and we're
secure in what we own of land
or hay or gold, and when we
earn a shining bone, it's ours, to
have and hold. And we're pro-
tected in our car, and in our bed,
at rest; good government will
go that far, when it is at its
best. But it won't take the place
of toll, by which the prudent
thrive; it will not hoe the weedy
soil, or keep the corn alive. I
don't depend on made laws
to help me dodge life's ills; the
smoothest law that ever was
won't pay my monthly bills.
The noblest statute in the book
won't keep the wolf away, or
buy sack of spuds to cook, if I
loaf round all day. l leave my
shack at morning, bent on hours
of useful toll; l don't depend on
government to make the kettle
boil. WALT MASON.

Because Suul recognized that God had

I. David In Camp Il Samuel. III,

!. David In Camp Il Samuel. III,
While the armies stood cycling each
other for battle the Phillstines, having
warrior among them Of great
strength, sought to decide the war by
combat between two selected cham
0ions. The nation whose champion
was slain was to be subject to the
other.
l. The champions wv. 4-37). az
Goliath Of the Philistines wv. 4-11).
Note his characteristics: (a) He was a
giant ". ~. Saul made no attempt
to meet this giant. Even Jonathan,
who had distinguished himself at
Michmash Il Sam. 14), seems to have
lacked in courage. (b) He was filled
with conceit. His size, his panoply Of
war and his strength caused him to be-
lieye that no evil could befall him.
Co He was boastful. Likely his repu-
tation reminded them of former ex-
perience when Samson, Israels giant,
wrought such great mischief among
them. (d) He was defiant. He openly
deiied the army of Israel-the people
or the Most High. (e) He was scorn-
full. He treated the Israelites with the
utmost contempt.
~ David the Israelite wv. 1880.
In the providence Of God, David was
sent to the camp at time to hear the
boosting of this proud and contempti-
BILE Philistine. His three eldest broth
ers were in the army and his father
sent him with some provisions for
them as well as for the captain, While
talking with his brothers Goliath made
his appearance. The sight of Israel's
cowardice and lack of zeal for God
prompted David to offer his service.
He was not blind enthusiast who dis
regarded the use of means, but was
careful to use means, and most partic-
ular as to what they should be. He
put aside the untried armor of Saul,
knowing that Gods will for him was
to use by faith that which he hadJ
thought insignificant.
2. The battle wv. 3S-4S). When Co |
Hath beheld David coming up against
him he cursed him by his gods Dagon,
Baal and Astarte, showing that it was
not merely battle between David and
Goliath, but between the true God and
false gods. David fastened to meet
Goliath. A stone from his sling smote
Goliath and he fell to the earth upon
his face. David went forth in the
name of the Lord of Hosts that all the
earth might know that there was |
God in ISRAEL
