STRIKING PRINTERS ENJOVING LIFE IN GAMP, They Have Moved Into Marin County Redwoods, Where They Are Keeping Down Their Living Expenses and Keeping Up the Fight for “Nine Hours a Day's Work.” HO wouldn't be a striking printer? Truly that individual at the present time ought to be the happlest man alive. He has nothing to do but eat, drink and sleep and amuse himself. And all be- neath the cool shadows of a poetic re- treat in a giant redwood forest. How does this dream of sylvan joy come about at a time when the men concerned are supposed to be hard up? That’s just it. They are hard up. But they have struck a new scheme that seems to contain the possibilities of helping their cause and giving them a Creek Canyon. It is about two miles this side of Camp Taylor on the San Francisco and North Pacific Coast Rallroac and is as pretty a spot as can be found in the Stat. and seems admirably suited to the purpose. The first batch of men was sent up there about two weeks ago and since then the numbers have daily increased until at present there are about fifty enjoying life in the wildwood. In real- ity there-are two camps, the typesetters and the pressmen, but tley are close enough together to be just like one. Both of the camps are supplied with the best the market affords and are as comfortable as they can b made. Not a thing is wanting that can be con- iemz.icated that somebody was about to at. ““Whose is this?” called out the lieu- tenant as soon as he discovered the tempting layout. “They’re mine,” answered a man who had been chopping wood a few feet away and came hurrying out to take care of what he was cooking. ‘But it's only 10 o’clock,” ventured the lientenant. “Don’t care if it's only 9,” answered the owner of the fish, as he turned them over and caused them to sizzle more than ever, “I had breakfast at 5 and I am hungry now and I tell you I am going to eat.” “That’s the way with these fellows,” said the lieutenant, “they ¢ e no sooner done one meal than they start in on good season of outdoor recreation at venjently added to the camp. the same time.

But thel?s ‘:'T::: Aoty s st vland en o i There was a certain t of novelt: % present printers’ strike not turning out amountiof movelty . JH e Dl s exactly as was desired. That is the strike showed a disposition to last longer—a good deal longer—than was figured on. Then came the important question: “How long czn we hold ut?” From the outlook it was calculated that the bosses might hold out for a good long time. This led to a consideration on the part of the strike managers as to the best wey of husbanding resources. In other words tc m: the money on as long as possible and go the among the printers out on ke Surely there are wise men among the strike managers of the Typographical about it and at the same time it was enjoyable., Added to this was the fact that they were aiding their cause by staying there and making it easier for the others. The less they used of the union funds for their own support the more there would be for the married men. For the purpose of seeing just how the striking printers put in their time 1 paid a visit to their camp a few days ago. It was not as pleasant a day as they had been having, the delegation that met me at the train said. The sun was just managing to shine and there was a cold dampness in the air not pleasant to say the least. The printers, however, did not seem to notice it. Some were running around in their shirt sleeves and a few were wading in the waters of the creek. A the trunks of trees were big cupboards filled with all sorts of edibles. In a big Dutch oven a roast of beef was cooking and a pan of bread was ‘“rais- ing” near by. There was no sign of want in this camp. Then the lieutenant led the way and showed how the boys put in the time, All along the banks of the creek patient anglers were trying to lure the trout from its hidine place beneath the rocks, and they were succeeding pretty well, Jjudging by the partly filled baskets. Every few minutes the crack of a gun told that somebody was shooting in the woods and bringing down game, teo. Some of the boys simply amused themselves by watching_ the others. “We'll eat the game after they get it,” they said. “‘r""’“ L% th g hit upon the unique 4,07, fre burned near the base of a _ The little work about camp really scheme of sending the strikers into jajwood tree and filled the air in its amounts to nothing.

The moth- er had died, and the little wanderers | were expressing their grief by mewing | | piteously. Mr. Lincoln picked them up, | took them on his lap, stroked their soft | fur and murmured: ‘Poor little creat- ures, youw'll be taken good care of,’ and turning to Bowers, said: ‘Colonel, I hope you will see that these little moth- erless waifs are given plenty of milk and treated kindly.’ Bowers replied: | ‘I will see, Mr. President, that they are taken in charge by the cook of our mess, and are well cared for.’ Several times during his stay Mr. Lincoin was found fondling these kittens. He would wipe their eyes tenderly with his hand- kerchief, stroke their smooth coats and listen to them purring their gratitude | | to him. It was a curious sight at an | army headquarters, upon the eve of a great military crisis in the nation’s his- tory, to see the hand which had af- fixed the signature to the Emancipation Proclamation, and had signed the com- mission of all the heroic men who served the cause of the Union, from the general-in-chief to the lowest lieu- tenant, tenderly caressing three stray kittens.
