OLD WATCH SUPPORTS

District,

LONDON CP.-Miss r. Belville, IS,
equipped with an ancient but honor
able watch and plenty of enterprise, is
making a good living by pursuing an
unique calling.
Carrying this big watch, with which
her father set up in business in 1885.
Miss Belville makes her rounds in the
financial and shopping districts Of
London, giving clock and watch max
ers the exact time.
Miss Belville's father was earning a
steady $4,000 a year with the model
watch before he died, in 1856. His
widow took up the watch and the
business and supported the household
until 1892, when she passed it on to
her daughter, the present owner and
manager
The watch was made by John Arnold
Cor the Duke of Sussex, son of George
III. It was a beautiful work of art, but
ponderous, and the duke sent it back
to its maker with this remark:
II do not want warming pan!"
Mr.. Belville bought the rejected time
piece, got it synchronized at Greenwich
Observatory, and then enlisted the
chronometer makers as his customers In

Governor Fisher" said DR.. Will
liam R. Former, of Western Theolog-
ical Seminary, "is promising to do
things on his own authority which
should not be left to his authority
even if he has the authority. 1t looks
like an evasion. The governor has
had the power of regulation which he
claims under the Mansfield bill all
along and has not used it."

Governor Fisher has been raised be
cause of his acceptance of the Mans

rejection of the Musmanno bill, which
would control thugs who are paid by

The latter bill would limit these
officials to protection of the COM

they are located

AGAINST POINT SYSTEM

Nationwide attention is attracted
to the strike of the Boot and Shoe
Workers Union at the Hotter Shoe
Company, of Cincinnati, Ohio. These
shoe workers are striking for an ade-
quate wage, and against the point
system by which they are required to
speed up productions for less money
than formerly was paid them. AL
though the members of this local have
been on strike for sometime, they are
staunchly living up to the principles
Of unionism, and are firmly united
in their efforts to receive an adjust
ment that will be satisfactory to each
and every one of them before termi-
mating the strike. All that is asked
of the public is the moral support
which all union men should gladly
give these shoe workers. Informa-
ton has been received relative to this
strike that this firm is losing thou
sands and thousands of dollars week
ly by being unable to fill orders.
However, it is the belief of the work
ers who are striking that the con-
stant loss of business will not remun-
crate the Hotter Shoe Company in
their unjust demand for decrease
in wage-Chronicle, Cincinnati, Ohio
