5,000 CLOTHING WORKERS STRIKE

Leaders Express Willingness io CoOperate With Chicago Manufacturers to Restore Peace.

Chicago, Sept. 27. —Union officials tonight declared that between 3,000 and 5,000 clothifig workers had obeyed their initial order to strike. More than f 4*« were affected by a lockout. Although the leaders expressed a willingness to co-operate with the manu facturers in an effort to restore peace, they made It known that if the employes did not make some move toward a peace parley by midnight a geheral strike call, affecting between 20,000 and 25,000 employes would be drafted. Union leaders in other large cities were awaiting with interest the result of the labor situation here, according to representatives in Chicago who assert that a general strike of clothing makers here would probably result in similar trouble all over the country.

COURT RULES ON SCISORS.

Scissors, which the defines as "cutting instrument, consisting of two sharp blades with the inner edge sharpened, piroted at the crossing, and terminating with two looped handles for the Insertion of the Angers of the person using them,” are after all a scientific instrument. Their use for the furthering of education for domestic science entitles them when imported to be free of duty. This is the official interpretation of four learned judges of the United States court of cußtom claims in a decision Just published in the Treasury decision bulletin. - i

Judge De Vries, who wrote the opinion of the court, says: "Within recent years there has been and now is rapidly developing a branch of educational system wherein the principles and rules of domestic accomplishments are investigated, systemized and practised whereby greater expertness and exceptional skill are required, commonly known as ‘Domestic Science.’ Common knowledge advises us that many schools end colleges are partly or exclusively devoted to such instruction and education. It has become an important and conspicuous branch of our educational system.” A review of the decision makes it clear that in fixing the dutiable or non-dutiable status of articles imported by institutions to further educational objects regard should be had not so much to Intrinsic character or to uses in chief but rather to the a©tual use for which the particular goods were in fact brought in. The calling of scissors a scientific instrument was caused by the importing of some scissors here by the board of education for use in the sewing schools of the city. Nothing distinctive in their construction from those commonly bought and sold in trade for household or industrial uses was claimed, only that there was stenciled on the blade the words "board of education." The collector of customs at the port of New York assessed them for dutiable purposes under paragraph 152 of the tariff act of 1909 as scissors. The claim raised that scientific apparatus in the furtherance of education was entitled to free entry under paragraph 650 was approved by the court in Its decision, which reads in part: “If we accept this as a test of the construction of ttyis paragraph that which serves to aid in scientific education, we cannot restrict its application to the higher classes of that education and deny it to the more commonplace, for each is equally within the language of the statute" Judges Montgomery, Smith and Martin concurred in the opinion. Judge Barber wrote a dissenting opinion in which he said in part: “While it may be true that the power drill is intended for use in educational work and instruction, it is of the same status as a plough or other farm Implements when imported by a textile school, or typewriters, calculating machines, Ac., when imported by a business college. While such articles may be useful and necessary tot the purpose of instruction in such schools, so are desks, chairs and similar articles, which while used for educational purposes are not necessary or especially appropriate for scientific or philosophical investigation, research, demonstration or instruction. —New York Sun.

Fresh Water Pearls.

“You don't hear much about fresh water pearls,” said a Madison lane Jewelry dealer, “but we raise them in this country just the same, and you may be, surprised to know that thei* annual product runs up into the mfli lions —not rery far, of course, as do imported salt water pearls, but N far enough to reach with the pearl buttons made from the shells to a Talus of about $7,000,000. “These pearls come from the bivalve known as the mussel and there are several varieties. The great bulk of them come from the Mississippi river and its tributaries. The Mississippi valley pearl fisheries are not at all of the same class as their confreres of the Orient* and no poet has yet found any poetry In the prosaic day labor they perform dredging and wading and scraping for mussels. “Pearls have been found worth as much as $2,000 each, possibly more than that, but when ar fine large one' is found it is quietly slipped in the the salt water, higher priced importations, and Just what price it will bring then nobody knows but the man who sells it as imported, and be is not telling. “These Amerlean pearl fishers, however, keep at their work, dreaming always of making the great find, as the gold diggers do who starve and freeze, living on hope until they die In despair. It is rare even to find one worth SSO, but numerous small ones afe found, though in the final summing up of receipts the fishers get more for the humble shells from the button factories than they do for the pearls they seek in the shells. They make a fair living out of the shells as they never would out of the pearl, which contains a moral, if you, want to look at it”—New York Sun,

Something Missing.

She Knew Baseball

"Since I have become a baseball fan,” said the girl who likes to talk, ”1 know w"hat it means truly to live. "1 can’t help it if I am old-fashion-ed,” she went on. "I always romp in on a style several years after it la an accomplished fact. Years ago, when it was the style to be crazy about baseball, I had to retire to Uie background and pretend baseball was beneath me. Secretly I read everything about baseball that I could get hold of, and asked every man I know to explain the game to me, but somehow I couldn't comprehend it. 1 could make an interesting book out of the baseball explanations I got, ranging from that of my small cousin Jimmy to that of a bank president. "As I remember it, Jimmy’s remarks were so tinctured with disgust at the idea that a human being could exist who was not saturated with the fine points of the game that the explanatory part was pale In comparison. “Gee!” said Jimmy. “Don’tchu know baseball? Gee, but you’re slow! Why, the fellows on bases are always trying to skin the pitcher alive, an' the pitcher he’s trying to fool the batter, an’ the batter he gen'rully bunts the ball when they’re looking Tor a scorcher—don’t you know what i bunt is? Gee, you’re slow!' “There was a college professor who did his best, but I couldn’t tell whether he was explaining a baseball game to me or demonstrating a problem in Euclid. He enjoyed himself very much, however, and told me that it was a pleasure to explain anything to i girl who had such wonderful comprehension—so I really couldn't count that episode wasted. “The bank president complicated things. ‘My dear young woman,” he said fervently, stroking his moustache, ‘why burden your head with coarse, masculine affairs? You’d look so much nicer pouring tea or—er — sewing something, you know, or playing the piano! Why do you insist on spoiling it all?’ “It took me several years to decide that the bank president himself didn’t understand the game, and he was being diplomatic instead of complimentary ! “Still I struggled on. I always said, Oh, yes! I dote on baseball,’ If I was isked to go to a game. And I had horrible escapes. There was the awfully nice man visiting here from New York. He was the man I almost lost by asking why the ball player quit playing after he had run ail iround the field and kicked the thins they called the home plate. I said I supposed he was mad or something—• oecause they yelled at him so. And I was temporarily estranged from the best dancer in our set because I said I should think the man with the bat would hit the ball instead of whirling around in that silly way, and it was lust as well that the leader evidently jailed him back to the bench. “I do think it’s true about virtue being rewarded, because sometime ago all the mixed up kaleidoscopic baseball bits in my brain suddenly and without warning fell into a clear and beautiful pattern, and to my hysterical delight I realized that at last I knew what the men out on the diamond were trying to do. “The'man who at present insists on hanging around where I am scoffed and jeered when I confided to him my achievement. He said I might be an excellent bluffer, but never, never, did I really know what it was all about! Hadn’t he sat and writhed at games while I disgraced him before all those surrounding us by my imbecile questions? Didn’t he know? However, if he could get oft the next afternoon he’d take me to the game. “Well, I passed the whole morning downtown hunting a particular parasol that I’d had in mind for weeks,” continued the girl who likes to talk, “and I walked sixteen miles and finally found one, and I carried it delightfully to the game as a cherished possession. In the eighth inning the fieldere muffed the ball and fen «0 over themselves, and the three men on bases raced home In a hunch Oaring the excitement when nobody was noticing. “When I came to I was on my feet pounding on the floor with my new parasol and yelling like an Indian. I had smashed the handle of the pawsol! I did not realise what I was doing till my escort dragged me down Into my seat and applied soothing words and showed me the wreck in 1 my hand. j “Yes/ he admitted, aa he regarded the smashed parasol, *1 think yon ! qualify! But who weald ever have thought It" “I think, concluded the gW who likes to talk, “that it’s worth the price of a parasol to be able to realize that ‘ one understands baseball. Tm so proud over my knowledge of the game as-I would be if I’d been left $1,000,000.”

What Landed Him There.
