The Wilmington Star, after pay
ing a high tribute TO the character
and services of Judge Broqks says /:
"A shaft of pure na,ive} granite
should be erected in capitol square
at Raleigh to teach the youth of this
and coming generations a grand les
son of duty and honor, and to let
them see Of what admirable material
were the best men Of past genera
tons fashioned. In every town and
village the movement should be
spontaneous and immediate. The
legal profession should see to it that
this proper tribute should be paid
to the character and name of an
ideal Judge, in the simplicity, purity,
urbanity, justice aud d~ecisiveness OF
his rulings and his conduct"

Demand Twenty.
CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-The session of the
Amalgamated iron and steel workers of
the fourth district, including Chicago. Mil
waukee, st. Louis, Joliet and Springfield
convened to-day. In reply to circular
from Mechanics lodge No. 20 of Pennsyl
vanla demanding the resignation of Presi-
dent Jarrett, the meeting passed resolu-
tions expressing perfect confidence
and esteem for that officer
and demanding the expulsion
OF Mechanics lodge for sowing dissensions
IN the ranks of the body. It was agreed
IN view OF falling prices of iron and steel
that the present schedule to employees fol
winter wages, from January LIST to June
LIST be fixed at 121s per cent, lower than
the present rates. At meeting with TIE
emyioyes thus afternoon no agreement was
reached, as the employers demanded re.
ductlon OF 70 per cent. Delegates were
instructed by their lodges to make a de.
crease OF not more than 1915, and could
not acceed. The meeting therefore ad
lourned, and the delegates went to thei1
homes for instructions. It is understood
another convention will be held soon.
CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-It has been reported
that the amalgamated iron and steel asso
citation of this'district, including Milwau
kee, Joliet and Chicago, had agreed on &
