An EmrHAr1o CORRECTION
By Secretary Martin. Of Baners Cor
eerniuR the scale q Wages.

By Secretary Martin. Of Banofs Cor.
eerning the scale 81 wages
Saturdays REGISTER published an arb.
Gle showing the absurdity of certain state
ments in relation to the scale for next year,
alleged to have been made in Pittsburgh
and received here by Associated Press.
Secretary Martin was correcting these
statements in the Pittsburgh Dispatch at
the same time Vice President Thompson
was giving his views to Q REsIsrER reporter.
Secretary Martin said:
THE revival OF the agitation over the
ironworkers' wages thus early in the season
by the newspapers has given rise to some
sensational stories that have been sent
broadcast over the county, and have cal
culated to leave q false impression In
bers of the association themselves
such stories have no effect, rs they fully
understand how ridiculous some OF these
statements are. An interview was pup
lisbed yesterday With an alleged member
of The Amalgsmated Association that Is
simply ridiculous. In the first place, this
gentleman is made to say that nearly all
The copies OF the scale sent out to the suo'
ordinate lodges for suggestions as To
cl ange." Now, this is absurd. We have
sent out ro scale, have received none, and
do not expect snv. II this gentleman was
what he pretended to be, he would know
something about the way this thing is
msnrged.
"As the time for considering the scale
approaches eech year, every individual
m, M Der of the Amslgamated Association
has q right TO suggest changes II he sees
fit. These are considered by his lodge,
together with any others that may be sug-
gesIed. The lodge then reports what is the
wish OF its members and the reports OF all
the lodges, throughout the country are
printed in book form and distributed
among them in that shape. This book is
never returned to this Office. Thus the
lodges are enabled to see what are the SEN
timepts throughout the country. The next
step is for these lodges to send delegates
to the several district conventions
to the State Convention. This last body
then instructs the conference committee,
including the officers Of the association,
bow to treat with the manufacturer com.
mittee. This is the system, and shows how
nonsenslcal the statements OF the gentle
man are. From the time the reports Of the
lodges are printed and sent out we receive
no notice OF their final action, and do not
expect TO until after the meeting OF the
scale convention.
"Apother statement made was to the
effect that the association would sgree to Q
reduction OF 10 per cent. This statement is
as absurd as the others. The question OF Q
reduction has not even been suggested, but
il is quite well understood that no advance
will be demanded"

We are informed that a man who calls
him self Rev. Stewart Lambert, a disciple OF
the Csmpbellite church, in addition to his
ministerial calling olsims 10 be kind OF
inspired geoiosist, and claims that the
moment he steps on mineral of any kind
he is shocked or elsCtr fed to sucn an ex-
teLt that be can tell with accuracy the
silount of mineral there is and the depth
at which il Ray be reached. He charges q
fee IF S. for going on land for persons to try
his inspiTsi on. sud il is stated that ne has
made some believe his story up about the
Smoke Hole" Amongb bis victims is an old
man up the river named Kittermau, who be
made believe that there was Q quantity Of
gold and silver hidden in his lands in
round pile. Ketterman paid S. for the ia
formation. A little further up Lambert
found smother victim in one OF the Kim
bles. Kimble put so much faith in Lam
bert's statement that be went to work a
the point indicated that the wealth was
buried, aud he persuaded another man 70
take shares in the mine. We will say to
resders in that section, that the less they
have to do with such imposters the better
of they will be. This reverend inspired
reologist is a fit subject Tor nothing short
Of the penitentiary or insane asylum.

AMUSEMENT MATTERS,

On Thursday, Friday and Saturday
evenings next, and Saturday afternoon.
Shook and Golfers celebrated English
melodrama, "The Lights O. London"
will be presented at the Opera House.
Tie company appearing in this great
play is remarkably strong one, and the
greatest care will be given to the proper
plrcirg OF the piece upon the stage. The
scenery used is OF the most complete
aid appropriate character, and is trans
ported in q car constructed especially
for the purpose, and which is said TO be Q
marvel OF mechanical skill. OF late ap-
pearance in Keokuk, Iowa, the Press says:
The Lights o London" presented at the
opera house by Shook ( Golfers combins.
ton, was performance which merits the
highest praise, and was as different from
anything We have previously had
in this line as could possibly b.
IMAGINED. Every attention was
paid to detail, and every actor or
actress in the large cast was fully able to
meet the requirements Of bis or her part.
The company used their own scenery, and
it was beautiful and realistic in the ex.
IRENE. We are unable to particularize
concerning the different members OF the
cast, but suffice il 70 say that the enter.
tainmept was fine one throughout. 1t is
q performance that can be heartily COM
mended in every respect and We advise our
readers to 60 and see IL.
