 Our buyer has been in the market for some time on the alert for the inevitable busintss embarrassment of manufacturers, suffering from the effects of over produc- ton.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. 14.-There is
some whispering going on again about
the presidency of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad company. The annual meet
ing of stockholders will be held next
Monday, at which time board of di-
rectors Will be elected for the ensuing
year. The president will be chosen by
the directors about month later, and
there is movement On foot to place
United States Senator A. p. German at
the head of the company. This very
thing was mooted year ago, and when
Samuel Spencer was promoted from
the position he then held to that of
president. very close friend Of Robert
Garrett asserted that the new manage
ment was only temporary
arrangement. The board of directors
number twenty-three. OF these
seven represent the stock held by BaIti-
more City and four the state of Mary
certainly vote for German for president
of the Baltimore & Ohio, and he would
need but one more vote to elect him.
The relations between Robert Garrett
and Senator German have always been
of the most intimate character. and it is
claimed by those in the secret that Gar
rett will use his influence in Germans
behalf. But even il this should fail
them, the director who represents the
holdings of the Johns Hopkins univers-
ity, can, it is believed. be controlled so
as to give the senator the deciding vote.

Ed Stevens Bill.

During the trial of the case of Edward
A. Stevens against the city yesterday,
a number of experts were examined in
regard to the value of the work for
which Stevens asks 1924. Frank j.
Mead, who was the only expert for the
plaintiff who was able to satisfy the
court that he was competent to judge
of the value of the work,
testified that such work was
worth from S1.25 to S1.5O an hour. II.
d. West, of the West Publishing COM
pany, of St. Paul, testified that his firm
was engaged in the business of publish
ing and compiling law books, and that
they paid men for doing its kind of
work, from $50 to $500 month, but that
the latter figure was the highest they
had ever paid. He admitted, however,
that there was no parallel in the work,
and that that done by Stevens was of a
much higher grade. The case will be
given the jury this morning.

IDLE BREADWINNERS.
Iron Operators Strike Against
Proposed Change in the Hours

Proposed Change in the Hours
of Labor.
PITTsBURG, Nov. IA. = twenty-five
hundred employees of Jones 81 Laughlin,
American Iron works, declared strike
to-day against proposed change in
their hours of labor, claimed by the
firm to be necessary owing to scarcity
OF natural gas during the day turn,
While at night there is sufficient gas for
all departments. The employees held a
meeting this morning and appointed a
committee to wait on the firm and as
certain if the new arrangement was
temporary accommodation to the pro-
prfetorS. or scheme Of the Natural Gas
company to increase its earnings at the
expense of the wOrkingmen. LII an ac-
c0mmOdatiOn to the firm, and they were
not asked to continue the new hours
longer than ten days, they would
agree to the change. The firms reply
gave no guarantee that the new rule
would not be permanent, and the men
unanimously decided not to return to
work unless permitted to do so at the
old hours. Gas is very scarce to-day at
all of the iron mills and glass houses on
the south side, but none have entirely
closed down from that cause. The pud-
ding departments in the mills of Tug
& Co., Shoenberger q Co., Brown &
Co. are idle to-day on account of short
age of gas. The Twenty ninth street
mill, Carnegie, Phipps & Coils also short
of gas, and the men have been notified
that the day turn must Immediately fol-
low the night turn when the pressure of
gas is abundant. The employees of the
keystone rolling mill company have also
refused to accept any change in their
hours OF work.

WAR To THE KNIFE.
The Pennsylvania and Wander
bilt Systems Lock Horns in Ear

Dill SyStcHis AoCh doEiiS III LdE-
nest.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1.-THE trunk
lines war is still raging. and the indi-
cations are that long and bitter strug-
gle has begun. Railroad men who are
familiar with the situation said to-day
that the real cause of the trouble was
the Pennsylvania railroads opposition
ject. Mr.. Roberts has all along OPP
posed the building of the road, and he
is backed by the Pennsylvania railroad
interests. The Vanderbilt interest has
been prominent in the scheme,
and this has given the Penn
sylvania railroad great concern. The
recent death of DR.. Hostetter, of
Pittsburg. one of the chief promoters OF
the enterprise, has deprived the re-
manning members of the syndicate of
his counsel. and will probably prove
serious obstacle in the way of complet-
ing the road. 1t is said that shortly be-
fore DR.. Hostetter's death the Wander
bits spoke hopefully Of the South
Pennsylvania project, and said that its
early completion was now assured
Such a contamination would enable
them to enter into competition with the
Pennsylvania for Phiiadelphia,busin
by way of that road and the Reading.
Mr.. Roberts refusal to advance east
bound grain rates which has been re-
ferred'to, is now looked upon in rail
road circles as an attempt to check rail
road building in this vicinity, and put
a damper, if possible, on the South
Pennsylvania project. Mr.. Roberts is
reported to have said, II will show
them that they can't build railroads and
make any money this year" Ii. Mex.
Twombly has 100000 interest in the
South Pennsylvania, and WILL of course,
do everything in his power to complete
the road Mr.. Roberts has been invited
to go to New York to consult with the
representatives of the Vanderbilt roads
for the purpose of settling the rate
troubles; but ne has declined the invi-
tation, giving as an excuse that he has
not time. This is looked upon as evil
dence of the bad feeling which now eX-
lists, and some railroad men say that the
old difficulty between the New York
Central and the Pennsylvania which
were supposed to have been settled i'll
1884, will be revived. There are great
many questions to settle before new
agreement can be reached, and there
are many people who believe that the
Pennsylvania will never join new as
ISOLATION. The Pennsylvania road
people say that their course in trunk
line affairs has not been influenced by
the South Pennsylvania, but in pursu-
ance of a broad policy which will soon
be made clear.
