PRINTERS
ON STRIKE
Making Demand for 44
Hour Week—Many
Thousands Out.
Chicago, May 9.—Acceptance by em
ployers in many cities of the demand
for a forty-four-hour week in the print
ing industry has averted a nation-wide
strike of job printers, but the strike,
nevertheless, is effective in many large
cities.
Five thousand printers are,out at
Chicago, one thousand at (Pittsburg,
and thirty thousand in twanty orafts
affiliated with printers at Cleveland.
Job shops at Spokane are operating on
the open shop basis.
At Seattle the employers will meet
the printers on Tuesday to discuss
wages and working conditions.
In New York the employers have
gsanted the forty-four-hour week, but
the unions in all cities have been in
structed to strike wherever the new
week is not effective.
For Concerted Action
On Japanese Matters
Washington, May '9.—An executive
committee, with Senator Hiram John
son as chairman, has been named by
members of Congress from Western
States to bring about concerted action
on all legislation pertaining to Japan
ese im-migration and land, ownership.
Russell Sage and His Fortune.
The estate of the late Mrs. Margaret
Olivia Sage, widow of Russell Sage,
has been officially appraised at $58,
659,213. Mrs. Sage left about half of it
to educational and -charitable institu
tions. Jn life she had given away many
millions.
Her husband had accumulated the
money by exceptional shrewdness and
prudence as a speculator and money
lender in Wall Street. He did Dot
take it from the poor, but from Wall
Street speculators—we mignt say
gamblers—like himself, who did not
play the Wall Street game as success
fully as he did. Russell Sage spem
little and wasted nothing. He cared
not a straw for show, pomp and vanity
It was said of him—probably in jest—
that he wore $10 suits of clothes when
he couldn’t find any cheaper ones.
Such men do not either produce or
consume; they neither help the world
nor hurt it, nor do they take a penny
with them when thev die- They are
simply temporary reservoirs for funds
which are quickly invested in useful
works, like railroads, mining, manu
factures, hotels and dwellings, and
which will eventually filter back, in
one form or another, into the pockets
of the people.—Ex.
