iiVY FOR STRIKE printers Will Be Ready to Fight for Eight-Hour Day. 'RUST BE GENERAL IN 1906 rCucstlon Now Comes Before Local Unions for Referendum Votei-Co-Operation With Telegra phers Is indorsed. ST. LOUIS, Aug. 12. At the opening of the fifth day's session of the convention of the International Typographical Union, the report of the committee on ownership ol lypeiounanes was presented. It in dicated that the prospect of such owner ehip has not been brightened since 1&D3. and that nothing1 to bring It about can oe done. The convention accepted the report, as it did also the report of the committee on union labels for textbooks. Action was taken by the convention concurring In the report of the committee on laws favoring the Instruction of Inter national Typographical Union delegates tjo the American Federation of X.abor to advocate the establishment of a universal nmon label. The convention then in dorsed the union label of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America. After the convention had adopted the report or the committee on Union Print ers' Home, recommending the construc tion of a $24,000 addition to the building, the consideration of the report of the committee on eight-hour day law was be gun. This report advocated the adoption of an eight-hour law, and fixed January 1. 1906, as the time when such a law should be effective, or a strike declared, "unless existing contracts conflicted. The report provided for the levy of an assesment of one-half of 1 per cent on the wage earnings of the entire member ship with which to carry on a strike, .ehould one be necessary. After an exhaustive discussion the con vention concurred in the report of the committee. This action places the ques tion before the subordinate lodges for settlement on a referendum vote. ' B. 1L Spencer, representing the Western Fderatlon of Miners, who was granted permission to address . the delegates, touched upon the recent mining troubles in Colorado, and severaly criticized the . action of Governor Peabody toward' the strikers. In conclusion he declared that his federation was fighting for the eight hour day law In Colorado. The con vention concurred in the favorable report of the committee on resolutions on the proposition that the Typographical Union indorse the efforts of tire labor organiza tions of Cololrado to obtain an eight-hour work day. The convention empowered the presi dent of the union to confer and co-operate with the president of the Commercial Telegraphers' Union with a view to per fecting" a plan upon which an agreement may be based to forward the interests of both organizations. The convention pledged its support, Tnoral and otherwise, both to the Amalgamated Meatcuttcrs and Butchers Union of America in its present strike, against the packers and to the 25,000 striking co-operatives in Fall River, Mass. The arbitration committee submitted its report indorsing the settlement of all strikes by peaceful methods, which report was accepted. , The committee on allied trades submit ted its report which comprised an appeal to the Newspaper "Writers' Union to do all In its power to strengthen its union. Women's Auxiliary Elects. ST. LOUIS, Aug. 12. The Women's Aux iliary of the International Typographical Union at today's session elected Mrs. Frank A. Kennedy, Omaha, president. LIFE IN A SUBMARINE. Discomforts for Officers and Men In Little Craft. Residents at Portsmouth, particularly ladies, are sympathetic toward the officers and men who serve under Captain Bacon in the submarines he has had under his orders, and assert that they suffer from a pallor which sits with Ill-grace on the cheeks of sailors, who usually have an assertive healthfulness which Is a re proach to those whose lives are spent in shop or office confinement. There may be something in this assertion, says the Lon don Telegraph. Life in these little craft which fuss about out of sight has Its drawbacks. The vessels, even the biggest, such as the unfortunate Al, are cramped. The bare statement that- the length Is only 100 feet, and when submerged the dis placement of the "Improved A" class, to which the sunken vessel belonged. Is only ISO- tons, less than half that of a de stroyer, and that within are stored two sets of machinery, a gas engine for the surface, and electric motors, for use when submerged; that' room has to be tfound for tanks for the oil, air, electric batteries, etc, and that space Is also taken up by the torpedoes and gear. Is sufficient to bring home the fact that 11 men, who comprise the crew, have not much room for stretching themselves. The British boats are like large, flat cigars, with a ridge at the top," to serve as a deck when running afloat, and Inside is one "room." In which officers and men have to make themselves as comfortable as may be during the hours bf duty. Even the Admiralty recognizes that apart from the danger attending such ser vice, existence must be fraught with much discomfort, and the crew receive what Is styled "hard-lying money" as some compensation. Tet every man who serves in a submarine Is a volunteer. The same remark applies to the officers, and In spite of all the oloso confinement and disadvantages attaching to this work, the supply of officers and men always exceeds the number of vacancies in the flotilla. It is an honor to serve "under Captain Bacon, and among the officers at present Is a son of the Secretary of State for War, It speaks well for the survival of the old spirit of the British fleet, which made It mistress of the seas, that there Is this keenness for a job -which, regarded through the rosiest-colored spectacles, Is 'risky, uncomfortable, and entails close confinement The only benefit derived by the crews Is the "ex tra pay, a certain relaxation of the strict standard of discipline which obtains on big men-of-war, and shorter hours of duty. In one British boat i crew were once tinder water for a ,space of six hours without suffering any harm, while a ves sel of a similar type remained, submerged In 15 feet of water In Peconlc Bay, six leet below the surface of the water, for a period of 15 hours; In fact, from 7 P.M. until 10:30 the following morning the lit tle ship with a crew of three officers and three men was entirely cut off from all natural air supply. Though the accom modation Is necessarily most cramped, these pioneers In the art of lodging under water were able to play cards, read and sleep without suffering any inconvenience. 2n 6pite of the length of the stay beneath the water, the air supply was eo excellent that no demand had to be made upon the stored air. The atmosphere was puri . fled chemically with complete success. This test of the habitability of a Hol land boat was made with an Admiral and ja Lieutenant of the American Navy on 'Voard. The experiment was. undertaken for 13 hours, but both these officers stated when they came to the surface that no difficulty would hare been experienced in remaining below for a much, longer period. One of the features of the British boats to which most careful attention was given Is the air supply. Ventilation Is provided from the exhaust of the air-driven ma chinery which is distributed throughout the interior of the craft, and. there is a reserve from storage casks. Furthermore, the atmosphere is freed by chemical pro cess from the carbonic acid produced by .passage through the lungs. When on the surface the ventilating fans, electrically driven and- distributed In all parts of the submarine, keep the air moving, and draw In a constant supply. During eome trials extreme Inconvenience was caused by the fumes from the gasoline used -In the surface engines, but this difficulty has been obviated to a large extent, and the conditions of life have been so much lm proved that for eome time no complaints of illness among the crews have been made. Submarines are not boats in which men have to live in the same sense as they remain for a long period In torpedo craft Destroyers, for Instance, have navigated the globe without the health of the men being undermined, though the conditions bf life on board are hard and. lacking In comfort Submarines In their present state of development are boats in which the men stay only during the actual hours of duty, but In wartime there is no saying that they would not be called upon to spend several days on board. But in face of a foe men will make great sacrifices which are uncalled for in ordinary peace operations. During the past fortnight's maneuvers against Vice- Admiral Sir Arthur Wilson's fleet the crews of - the submarines have been tied to their tiny amphibious homes for long periods, and the excitement occasioned by the duels with the big ships has proved ample compensation for the dis comforts. In the British navy, at least, it can be eald that there is the keenest desire to experiment 'with submarine craft without reservations, so complete Is the confidence of officers and men in their war value and their safety. Men have become inured to the conditions on board these craft When first they are submerged they suffer from singing In the ears, and have a feeling of nausea Just as divers fresh to the work do, but this wears off, and th4 sphere of duty comes to be attractive In many cases from its very unique character. When the boat is set to dive like a porpoise, the inclination naturally Is to fear that she Is going to take a header to the bottom of the sea, and at first this led to the man controll ing the horizontal rudders nervously bringing the boat to the surface at once with a jump. But this anxiety soon gave way to confidence. So long as the boat is not far sub merged a certain amount of light strag gles through the glass scuttles, casting a weird greenish hue on everything. But In lower depths the electric light is switched on, and the whole of the inte rior Is lighted "up. There Is a feeling of safety In numbers when you can see your companions, and men can become accustomed to the strange, cramped, un natural conditions under which they live, and every care is taken to regulate the pressure of air. To brave men the post of danger Is the post of honor, and one may be sure that the fate of submarine Al, deeply as It may be deplored, .will not affect the spirit in which these vessels will continue to be handled, In order thai the secret of their "war value may bo learned. It is Interesting to remember that men can live for three days In a submarine provided the hull remains Intact and that she Is not overturned so that the gasoline tanks overflow. CITY STATISTICS.

The Yaqui nation Is on "the war path, driven to desperation by the depor tation of hundreds of tribesmen. The swift justice which followed the ambush of the hunting party has so In flamed, the Indians that wholesale blood shed is expected. During the past week, many sheepowners have reported the dis appearance of herders who are believed to have been murdered by small toands of swift-moving Indiana bent on vengeance. Attacks on the smaller ranches have been anticipated, and every house in the stretches of country where the Indians are known to be on the warpath has' been turned into a stronghold. Supplies of ammunition and arms have been provided and herders and servants trained for de fense arainst attacks. . To add to the apprehension of the whites, not only have the nomadic branches of the Yaqui tribes abandoned all pretensions of peace, but many In dians who were converted to Christianity, and lived by agriculture In the upper val leys of the Dolores and San Ignacio Rivers have abandoned their farms and Joined their relatives In the field. So grave Is the 'situation In the State of Sonora that the superintendent of the Sonora Railroad at Las Guaymas has requested armed protection for the passenger trains on the system. The Sonora Railroad Is owned by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company and connects the main trunk line with Guay mas on the Gulf of California. The" re quest was granted today. General Luis Torres, commanding the federal forces in Sonora, already conducting a campaign against the Yaquls, has detailed mili tary escorts for 'all passenger trains. The action by the railroad officials followed tile appearance of bodies of Indians along the track and several attempts to stop trains. They were frustrated by running trains past the Indians at full speed, but the danger of the Yaquls putting obstructions- on the rails forced the company to take into consideration a successful hold up and the protection of passengers there after.

Jt is wise to commence soon after the Spring housecleanlng to gather, up small boxes of tin and pasteboard for packing small lunches for the children's afternoon spent In. the woods or on a trolley-car; the linings of cracker and cooky boxes should also be saved, and the screw-top jars and the wide-mouthed 'bottles In which jellies, pickles, malted milk, etc., are purchased. All these receptacles may be thrown away after they are emptied, thus making the burden to be carried home much lighter than If preserving jars or jelly tumblers were used for . the pur pose.. Prepare your picnic lunch In advance. Have even the smallest articles ready. Then one is not worn out before starting from standing at a table In the warm kitchen cutting and spreading, sandwiches and preparing cakes.1 AH these things may be prepared the day before and put into the refrigerator oVer night. Even the butter may be wrapped In paper and slipped Inside the jar' in which It Is to travel to the picnic; the tea, lemon juice, cake filling, olives, pickles, etc., may also be put into the jars and kept on ice. In the morning one has only to slip a few pieces of Ice wrapped in paraffin paper Inside the butter jar, and put all the lunch, '-prepared the day before, Into the picnic basket, which should also be left In readiness over night. A supply of paper napkins, wooden plates, etc., should be at hand so that very few articles which must be brought back home need-be used. If one has no deep tin pan that will just fit over the pies and cakes, holding them securely In place, and no "round bonnet box. is to be had, the small daughter of the house can easily make a cover by sewlng a wide strip of pasteboard to thf edge of one of the large-sized pasteboard plates used by bakers. The strips of pasteboard should be as wide as the layers of pie and cake seem high, and should be sown coarsely to the cardbbard plate by means of a darning-needle and common white twine. This can be thrown away after luncheon and Is lighter to carry than a tin pan. ' CHARGED WITH EXTORTION. Italians Said to Have Threatened Family Unless Given $4000. NEW YORK, Aug. 12.

Chlnaman-s Half - Holiday. Youth's Companion. A gentleman who was traveling in Cali fornia was dining with a friend who- had a fine orchard in the San Jose Valley. The topic of conversation had turned upon Chinese as servants a subject suggested by the presence of a Chinaman, who. wljh a noiseless step ana stoua lace, waited on the table. "I have heard," said the Easterner, "upon very good authority, that these Ce lestials are not only dishonest, but their chief fault Is their absolute unfaithfulness to their employers. They are inclined to sacrifice their employers' Interests to their own, and are absolutely unreliable in their actions when help is most needed."" "You are mistaken' said the Califor nian. "My experience shows the oppo site to be true. A Chinaman Is most faithful, never complains, and Is willing to do work which he is not bound to do. Now I will call Hip Wo and tell him that he can go if he wishes, and he will prob ably Insist upon staying to wait on us. So sure am I that if he does not I will make you a present of a new silk hat." Thereupon he pressed the bell. The Chi naman appeared, solemn and speechless, and waited for his orders. "You needn't wait on us any more. Hip," said his master. "We will get everything ourselves." ' Hip smiled broadly. "T'anks-, I go," he said. The master looked astounded. "Why, Hip," said he. "why would you leave us?" The Easterner laguhed. "Me leave because my house been on fire one-half hour," returned the Celestial, bowing his way out. "Well, I guess you needn't buy me that hat," said the Easterner. Makes Daring Reconnaissance. ANSHANSHAN, Aug. 12.
