Ulmstead, the veterinary surgeon, and nephew of hiring Hall, the Norwalk expressions. Young Olmstend has been astonishing every one by his feats of strength. and many will be in terested in the following article: Samuel Ia Olmstead was employed in the printing department of the Aetnn insurance Company four years ago, and new he can tear three packs of cards into halves with the strength of his hands. Tearing one pack of fifty-two, with the joker, is considered a feat. Physical culture is responsi- ble for his development. Mr. Oimsiead is now at Bernard Macraddens Battle Creek sanitorium. Maciadden also conducts one at (lhcsbam Bucks. in When Maciaddou was in the east, the authorities objected to the costumes worn on the street by his pupils. as they would be considered in full dress in the South Sea is lauds. Mary Garden's costume in “Sir- lome" would make five or‘six suits for a. Macfsddenite. Friends of Mr. Olmstead here who received photo- graphs showing hls physical develop ment became interested in his system and he writes about his career as fol Vlows: My interest and appreciation of strength, almost tothe point of boy ish worship, dates back far beyond my memory, though the knowledge that it could be scientifically cultivated was not knoWu to me until 1 reached the age of about 13 years. Even then i did not dream of the astounding re sults which i have been able to ac complish by persistent practice and experimenting along the lines of any sisal culture or developing the wonder- ful powers of the human body. An ordinary athlete is not a true physical culturist by any means, for a knowledge of the functions of our bodies that only comes from careful study and experimenting makes it safe for one to bring their body to the highest degree of muscular develop ment Without vital injury being sus- tained. In fact. the unnatural life that modern conditions have caused man to adopt makes extremely vigor~ can exercise very dangerous, and might be compared to burning a can» die at both ends, thereby causing the disastrous results brought about by strenuous athletic work. so often call- ed to the "exercising man 's" attention by the medical profession. However, judicious exercise cannot ifs dispensed with if one wishes to keep full of vi- tality, energy. health and strength. While exercise is positively essen. tial to secure perfect health. likewise does a proper diet and other hygienic habits play a very important part in developing a sound and perfect body The results i am attaining in my own case are all that could be desired and 1 will briefly outline my experi- ence. I commenced taking exercise at the age of 13, having come across a work on the subject. ent.,itlod “How to Get Strength and How to Keep it, " by William Biaikic. While - the re- sults were extremely slow to an en- thusaistic boy, they were, neverthe- less, sure. and, while I had not been particularly strong (being subject to bronchitis) [soon became stronger than boys much older than myself and at the age of 15 i believe i was considerably stronger than the average laboring man. ' From that time to the present day my strength has been constantly in-. creasing. Suffice it to say thatl hold four of the world's weight lifting records for my weight, and have even greater ambitions for the future. For a number of years i have made physi- cal culture a profession, as well use means of dedeloplng my own strength.

This morning Was looked forward to with intense interest by the members of the trade who were out in force before 7 o'clock to witness the at- tempt of the manufacturers to resume business today. Not a single union man has deserted the ranks and the trade here has been greatly encourag- ed by the small numbers at work in the shops affected. Wild rumor-s have been going the rounds concerning the lm~ portatlon of but makers. the most prominent being tliatiorolguers would be imported into the city by the car. load to fill the benches of union work-' ers. , One delegation. it was reported. would get here last. night, but they failed to appear. Members of the trudosay that any talk of violence on the part of the union is folly, and that they would not think of. raising a hand. to prevent the manufacturres by force from carrying out. their program. The trade intends to depend entirely on the inability of the manufacturers to fill their places with competent help. J. H. Wolthausen, of the .l. H Wolthsuaon Hat Company. said today that. he had not yet opened up, though be bad steam up in his plant. He in. tends, he said. to let matters “go along" for a little while. The trade denies that any pickoting is being done here. The Hat Trimmers have called an important special meeting for. this evening at 8 oclock at Red Mon' S Hall There was a report today that the trimmers of the South Noiwnlk lint Company. at the head of whblr is Frank hemorrgclli. had been called out because it has been discovered that the plant was turning out work for the (lrofui. 8:. Knapp Conrpnny.‘ Mr. inmongclli said thcrc ‘was absolutely no truth to the report, but. said that he was greatly hampered because he cannot get enough hat bodies. Be- cause of this fact he had to turn down orders for 400 dozens of hais'yestcr- day. As far as doing work for the Crofut it Knapp Company iii-concern- ed he said he was unable to fill his own orders. At. the Crofut & Knapp plant it was also absoluioh denied that Mr lbrnoncglli' 5 plant was doing any of their work. The scarcity of bat bodies, ii is feared, will also interfere with the work of other factories. MR. KNAPP'S STATEMENT The Hatters’ Trouble and Some of the Causes That Led Up to It. Mr. Knapp one of the officers of The Crofut & Knapp Company, makes the following statement as to the strike and the circumstances leading up to it: "On January 15th theemployes left the factory. and we were informed that it was at the orders of the officers of the three unions to which our employ- es belong. “We decided to open the factory on the 9th instant and thereafter to deal with tbe‘indivlduai employes. without regard ‘to whether they are connected with the labor union or not. and no questions will be asked on that sub- ject. We have no prejudice against the combination of- people for the pur- pose of déttlng better wages and im- proving their position, nor against in- bor unio‘ns, when properly managed. and showing a reasonable considera- tion for the rights of the employer, as well as those of the employs. There are. such unlons,'in this country, to- day.” Unfortunately for us. the officers of‘tho u‘n‘ibns, ot’which our employee are members, have shown themselves to be arbitrary and arrogant, and un- willing lb take an equitable view of matters in dispute. Moreover. there are numerous instances in which our workmen have been discriminated against, by the officers of their own unions, and many workmen. in other clties, allowed to do things which mil- itate against the successful Operation of our business and which are forbid— den here. Little attention is paid, by the local,‘oflicers. to the ordinary busi- n as requirements of continuous oper- at on and coordination in n manufac- turing plant. Frequent “shop calls", which take the men frOni their Work cream of tartar. some question which has nothing what ever to do with the business in the shop, although the rules of the union provide that there should be no "shop calls" other than those pertaining to the making of bills of prices—dim bills of prices being the mice of wages for the different kinds of work. “No matter how acute the business demand may be therefor, we. are com- pclled to get permission from the sill core of the labor union to run our fuc tory after five 1). m.

"Within the last month two girls boarding in this .town had applied, through one of their members, for work in the trimming department. About fifteen girls'hnd left during the preceding six monthswsome to be married. some going into other busi- tress—which naturally curtailed our output. We applied to the association for permission to union more appren- tices and, after. three weeks. they al‘ lowed us five girls These two girls wore selected, but. were refused by the union because they bird come from Danbury. This was purely a matter of their union rules. yet it brought (about a ‘shop call, which caused the gs? of an hour's work of tw0 hundred r s. “Among the apprentices who were learning the trade of trifnming was one born of Austrian parentage, and after three days of work, the committee insisted on her discharge :because they have a rule which does not permit eith-. or Italians or Hungarians. or their descendants, to learn the batting trade.
