Special Telegram TO TIE Register.
MANSFIELD, O., June 6-Wheeling took
batting streak to-day, and hit hard.
Staplston, Peak, Nichols, Otterson and
Flanagan drove the ball against the fence,
and Otterson made some brilliant stops
Flanagan pitched q good game, and Mans
field bad only four hits up to the ninth in
ming. Flanagan did not exert himself after
the fourth inning. Bailey, of last seasons
Wheelings, caught his first game for Mans
field, but did not do very well, owing
probably to not having caught a left
handler before. Mansfield played loose
game. Score:

THE LYCRUM LECTURE

N. +. Church Tonight.
There will be a very pleasant programme
st Fourth Street NJ. E. Church, this even

of Prehistoric America," and will give an
account Of the wonderful remains Of cities
and other evidences Of high civilization
in prehistoric times on this continent
Few know how interesting this branch of
historical study has become or
what extensive Investigations are
being made. The Developments Of old
civilization in Egypt and Assyris are
scarcely more wonderful and interesting
than those which have been made on this
continent, and we are not sure that the
oldest civilizations of all known TO his
tory will not be found at last to be on our
borders.

What Was Done ut tho Second Days SEES

What Was Done ut tho Second Days SEES
sion.
Yesterdays session of the Amalgsmsted
Association opened with total of 204 dele
gates in attendance, an increase of % over
Tuesday. The day was mostly devoted 10
speech-mskiDg aud the reports Of the Off.
Gals The main questionable wage scale
has not been touched. The speech Of
Vice President MARROW was similar to those
delivered at each of the annual conven-
tons. 1t had been ca refully prepared and
would make q column if Published. Sum
med up, the drift Of it is that the associa-
ton ia growing in membership and ia in a
flourishing condition. President Weihe
responded in like tones. An grafton was
also made by President Gompers, Of the
American Federation of Labor. He spoke
for half an hour, in which he dwelt princi-
pally upon the benefits arising from having
organized labor and Of the necessity for ali
working people to become members oflsbor
organizations.
With the exception of the reports Of the
officers, no other business was transacted at
the forenoon session. The Conference Com
mittee will not be appointed until the wsgs
question comes mp for discussion. At the AZ
ternoon session the Wage Committee made
It's report.
The manufacturers met yesterday at
their headquarters in Pittsburgh. During
the morning the scale which they propose
to present to the Amalgamsted Associs-
ton was discussed. The opinion is united
that reduction in wages shall be asked.
A reduction to S. on 2.Cent card is prac.
tically decided upon, and 10 per cent in
the other departments. Their scale may
not be fully decided upon and printed I'M
til some of the outside manufacturers are
consulted. Mr.. Joseph d. Weeks acted as
secretary.
At late hour In the afternoon the
manufacturers decided in all details upon
the scale they would present to the Anal
grmated Association. 1t was ordered to be
printed. The scale is reduction in boil
ing from S. so to S. on a 2.cent card. 10
other departments the reduction in many
instances amounts 10 per cent. and IN
Others it is still grester, There was
large representation OF manufacturers at
meeting from the Mahoning and Shenango
Valleys, Cincinnati and the Pittsburg dis
tIict. The new scale also asks that num-
Der of extras be stricken from the present
SCALE The scale will be sent to the
Amalgamsted Association to-day.

A number of loc.l capitalists, among
them H. G. Behrens, Joseph Speidel a1d
A. G. Egerter, have associated themselves
with several people in the neighborhood oil
Wellsburg for the purpose Of forming @
company to manufacture brick, tile, &c.
at Windsor Station. The preliminary
meeting Of the gentlemen interested was
held at the Office Of Joseph Speidel yester,
day, whers samples OF brick, &c, were on
exhibition made from clay recently discov.
cred at Windsor.

going up rapidly and the brick work is
now about up to the fourth story. One
building is 10 be sig stories and the other
Ave stories, and both will be shortly com.
pleted, 90 large force of men is at work.
The immense fy wheel in the engine
room was put in before the building was
begun, and all the other machinery is
ready to put in position as soon as the
buildings are completed.
The coal miners of the Sixth Ohio Dis.

weeks before the factory stopped, and now

The nail business seems to be cut nm N

try" in Indiana also. 1t made a wOoler
and linen manufacturer of every womar
in the country. The good wife hacked,
spun and wove the flax; washed, dyed,
spun and wove the wool. Then she made
the clothing, knit the stockings, and put
in her spare time patching and mendlng.
"What toll was hers, TO be surei There
was no season OF the year marking the end
of her labors. No days Of bad weather
gave her rest-not even the night could
she call her own, for long after she had
put her children TO sleep she patched and
darned at their worn and frayed clothes.
Even when she went to drink tea and Cos
sip with a neighbor, she carried her
knitting or sewing. Only when
her hand had lost its cunning
from old age, or was palsied
in death, did she find rest" The men
were not so constantly busy, but their
work was harder Their shoulders bent
early under their load, and their frames
yielded to the strain in the prime OF an or
dinary life. Judge Banta reports, as the
result of his investigation, that OF the
pioneers OF his section call save one or
two had died under fifty years of age
They had grown to be old men while
they were yet young men,"
1t Is interesting TO remember that dur
ing the wears that tariff taxation was add
ing to the burdens of these people wages
did not increase. On the contrary, they
decreased, and, with all the additions
to the efficacy of labor by our machinery
and other invented devices, wages are now
very little above the standard complained
of by the pro-slavery people before the
tariff began TO affect Indiana. People
sometimes talk as though there was no tar
III before the war of the rebellion, and
speak of wages then as free trade" wages,
but that is not true. There has been a
tariff ever since 1889, and though it was
sometimes increased and sometimes de-
creased, it was substantially an increasing
tariff until 1916. From that time to 1860
it was decreasing, and we will consider the
results of the decrease hereafter.
