conference between the committee OF the
Amalgamated Association and naanufactur-
ers will be held during the present week.

Ietary Martin concerning the reduction in
the proposed scale has created considerable
comment among the iron manufacturers.
The manufacturers claim that the figures of
the Amalgamated Association are formed,
and say they could show still more startling
advances if they woald handle the working

A Case of No Tin, No Din.
A certain boarding house in town owed
bakery $40, so the story goes and several
days ago the proprietor of the bakery swore
out en- attachment for the dinner of the
boarding house. The attachment was
placed in the hands of constable, who pro.
ceeded to the boarding house Just previous
to dinner. About the time he reached
there the boarders were about to sit down
to their midday meal but they were not al.
lowed 10 partake Of it, and many Of them
went elsewhere for their dinners. 1t WAS
sort Of ooh, 90 near, and yet so far, situa-
ton. The siege lasted half hour or so,
when the proprietor weakened and paid the
bill with coat2.
Why Not"
The arrest of Ford under en- Anticipated
State statute as being a person mot of good
fame fas brought to our mind a city 'ordin'
ance to provide for the security OF the in.
habitants Of the city of Wheeling against
thieves, robbers and burglars" section 2 Of
which reads as follows:
"Sec. 2. 1t shall be the duty Of the Ser
geant CT the City of Wheeling and each Of
his deputies to arrest on view, and commit
for hearing before the Municipal Court Of
Wheeling on the police side thereof, all
persons found in the city who are known,
or reported to be either burglars, robbers,
or common thieves or common pickpock'
cts"
Why is not this ordinance sufficient to
rid our city of the large number OF we'll
known crooks, making their residence here,
who have no visible means OF support aside
from rascality and lawlessness of various
kinds? We pause for reply.
