HEAVY SHOE TAILunEs.


Marlboro Manufacturers Alarmed by In.
boris Demands.
MARLBORO, Mass, Dec. 1.-THE recent
heavy failures in the boot and shoe indus.
try have caused great apprehension here
as to future developments. The state
ment Of A. P. Martin & 90. that their
failure was due to interference In their
business by labor organizations and tho
payments Of too high wages Ia harped
upon by the manufacturers here, all OF
whom are propheeying q dark outlook for
those identified with the boot and shoe iu-
terest.
The Mirror Of to-day quotes Marlboro
manufacturer as saying that the demand
for wages is much more than eau be paid
and that within very short time 500, GOO
will be lost here to tho employees by tho
inability to meet on paying basis tho de-
mand for the increase OF wagea. Another
well-known manufacturer who recently
failed said he had Lost a large amount in
his business yearly for several years on
account Of paying too high wages, others
say that this same party has managed TO
invest large sums in the meantime aud
yearly gives evidence Of increasing wealth.
lie ts lurther quoted as saying that he has
saved enough from the wreck to give up
business, II need bC, take his family to
Southern California and there live on
strawberries and cream tho rest Of his
days.
The idea Of business being doomed on
account OF exhorbitant wages paid TO
shoemakers Is having aa epidemic among
manufacturers. The workmen scout the
idea and declare that the claim ia but a
pretext 10 avoid meeting the demand for
such wages as are being paid In many in
stances, and being increased In otherB.
Rice and Hutchlnes, who had begun tho
erection Of now factory here, havC sua-
pended operations, on the ground, 1t is
claimed, that there Is TO much uneRsiness
In labor channels, and too great demand
for wages to warrant the continuation OF
building until affairs reach q basis where
business can be done at profit. Said q
leader among the workingmen here:
"All this talk Is DO much bluff. The past
which shows that these men have nelted
their thousands yearly for q decade or
more, 10 the beat refutation OF that state

WASHINGTON, Dec liza rather novel
request, says the EleniRg Star, was TeCeiy-
ed to-day at the Interior Department from
q young man living in Nebraska, who
wants to marry a daughter OF Standing
Bear, q Sioux Chief. He states who he Ia
and ipCIOses a photograph Of the girl, who
Is very nice looking and Was educated at
Carlisle, The young man, however,
wishes to 60 and live on the reservation
with his prospective wife and her relR-
tives, and, for this reason II was necessary
to obtain the permission Of the Interior
Department, White men are not allowed
to stay on an Indian reservation unleea
they have authority from the Govern
ment to do SO, and so this young man was
Obliged TO take the Government into his
confidence and reveal his love affairs,
The Secretary Of the Interior considered
the matter from its practical rather than
its sentimental side, aud concluded that
while he could not prevent the young
man marrying tho girl, he could prevent
him from going to live with the old folks !
and il he was anxious to marry the young
woman, as he proiessed To be, he might
scratch around ard provide her with q
home, Secretary Lamar will write let
ter to the ambitious lover, and, while not
disCouraging the ardor OF his love, will
suggest the practical view of the situation,
which SCENE to have escaped him. Until
there Is some change in the present plans
Of the young man the patOrnal benedic.
