All of Jhem show a naive surprise that anyone, even a lawyer, should except love in marriage. Love the first need In marriage? What a "bold declaration!" They all feel rather like that about it.' The Idea strikes them as beautiful, poetical, "humanising," hut, alas! Impracticable. How can a wife feel the "true human fleeting passion of love" for the gentleman who is merely her husband. Much might be expected of the lady who owns a friend desirous nf divorcing her because he "doe not love her soulfiilly.' The fact seems to be that the new 0 idea, "love plus marriage," ha startled the lady novelists that they apeak wild and wanton words without any very definite sense of their meaning.

Samuel Compere, president of the American Federation of Labor, waa the central figure in the teamsters strike situation today. Hi pretence was regarded a offering hope of peace, but the cry of the striker! was still for arbitration which the employer! had resolutely refused as to the garment worker! In whose behalf the feamaters quit work six weeks ago. Mr. Gompera met the labor lead era today In his rooms at the Briggs Hours. Just before going Into the conference he said : I am not In a position to say what will or will not be done. I will say however, that I have no Intention of Interfering unless I am commissioned by President Shea end hie colleague! to do aa" Two colored strike breaker, Jesse Ballinger and Jamea Jones, one of whom la believed to have fired a shot that reaulted In the death of an school hoy, Enrich Carlson, were arrested today. Both negroes desperately resisted the police. They are employee of the Peabody Coal company, which haa been active in negro attempting, with teamsters, to deliver coni at the public schools which has been resisted by strikes of hundreds of pupils at the school. The shooting of Carlson foln lowed the Jeering of colored men by a number cf school boys who were playing ball in n vacant lot. Until the ardor of the school chll dren has cooled, no more deliveries of coal will be made at the public school buildings unless absoThis announcelutely necessary. ment it made by officials of the board of education, who believe that an ounce of prevention Is worth a pound of cure."
