to"A place in that city on Saturday last.
As will De- seen, no definite or satisfac-
tory conclusion was reached. The pud-
dlers still adhere to their determination
not to accept lower wages. They say
that the sliding scale plan was pro-
posed and adopted by the manufacturers,
who fixed the scale of prices, and they
claim that this con tract should not now
be broken. The manufacturers, on the
other hand, contend that the scale. as 1t
has heretofore existed, was prepared IN
contemplation Of iron going "nlyaS low
as three cents per pound; that when 1t

derstsnding that the contract was to be
renewed and revised. Thus the matter
stands at present. The meeting adjourn

Western District of Missouri. A policy
was issued BY an eastern life insurance
company upon the life of certain indi-
vIdual. The usual supply of questions
We're propounded, and satisfactory re-
plies given. Finally the assured signed
Contract to the effect that if any of his
answers to the questions asked were
false, the policy should be void.
In about a year after taking out this
policy, the assured died. His executor
demanded the money on his life; but the
company las Life Insurance Companies
frequently do declined to pay without
aIawsuit. In this action, the company
alleged that for the reason stated above,
The policy had been forfeited, and the
Judge upheld it in this position. He
said, that as it had been shown that, the
questions asked were material, and rs the
answers had been proven untruthful IN
many particulars, judgment would be-
gwen in favor Of the company.
