TANNERS WILL NOT TALK.

Anarchists.

william FIaccus Says Their Leaders Are
Anarchists.
There is decided air of mystery about
the actions of the tanners in the formation
of their new union. A DISPATCH reporter
attempted to gain sdmittance to their meet
ing last night, and was politely but firmly
requested to make himself scarce. Some
manufacturers do not care whether their
employees are members of the union or not.
Others declare that they will employ no
union men. In this connection Mr.. Gallery,
of James Gallery & Co., said to DISPATCH
man yesterday: "We do not care whether
our men are members OF the union or not, so
long as they do their work in proper man
ner. We expect no trouble"
Mr.. William Flaccus, of William Flaceus
& Son, has different ideas on the subject.
He says:
"We will employ no union men. We in
tend to run our business ourselves, and we
will not be dictated to by our men. Our
work is of such nature that it may easily
be slighted, and we do not propose to put
ourselves in the power of any union and
its committee. If we wish to discharge
man, we will do so, and will hold ourselves
accountable to no one TOR our action. We
have had enough of Knights OF Labor and
other kindred organizations. The leaders
of the last tanners strike were infdels and
anarchists, every one of them, and we will
have no dealings with such demagogues."
A talk with a tanner who is not yet
member of the union, developed the fact
that there would hardly be strike before
next spring. This is tine dull season of the
year for the business, and a strike now, he
said, would be suicidal In the spring,
however, when business becomes brisk, ac-
tion will be taken.

THEY WANT MCCARTHY.
Definite Offers to Match Ridge to Fight the
ChRmpion.

Champion.
The local hackers of Joe Ridge have decided
to give him try against Cal Mccarthy, the
champion featherweight. One of Ridges
hackers said yesterday:
1--WE make two propositions to Mccarthy.
One is that Ridge will box him 20 rounds with
soft gloves in any hall that we can agree upon
for IS and IS per cent of the receipts. A stake,
presume will not be allowed, but we are pre-
pared to put up stake if SO desired. The
second proposition is that we will at once for
ward a forfeit of $500 to the California Athletic
Club and fight there for a substantial stake if
the club is willing to add satisfactory amount
to our stake. These propositions are made in
good faith. We, however want both men to
tight at ll2 or ia pounds each. 1 think these
are fair propositions and ought to be accepta-
bic to Mccarthy"
The hacker of Ridge just quoted will to-day
or tomorrow write President Fulda, of the
California Athletic Club, asking what induce
ment the club will offer for battle to finish
between Ridge and Mccarthy. Ridge at pres
ent is in excellent condition, and could get
down to the weight mentioned without much
trouble He prefers to fight under prize ring
rules but is willing to tackle Mccarthy under
the rules of the California Club. 1t is likely,
therefore, that a meeting will take place be-
tween these two featherweights At present it
looks as everything depends on the offer that
the club named will make. McCarthy's repu-
tation is certainly among the best. and the de-
sire OF Ridges hackers to put up 81 900 or 81 500
for their man shows that they think him at
least as good as the Eastern champion.

A NONSENSICAL LAW.
The Indiana Supreme Court Sits Down
Upon Natural Gas LegIsIation.

The Indiana Supreme Court Sits Down
Upon Natural Gas Legislation.
The Indiana State Supreme Court has sat
down upon very stupid law passed by the
Legislature to prevent the Chicago Gas
Trust Company from piping gas to Chicago.
The court held that natural gas might be-
come a commercial commodity, and that
States cannot enact laws regulating COM
merce between States. Just why any body
of men, even in a Legislature, should con-
ceive that it had right to obstruct private
enterprises in this manner is a thing that no
one has been able to understand, even if the
Federal Constitution did not "ferninst''
such legislation.
AS we'll say that petroleum should not be
piped beyond the limits of State. Now,
if whisky were the commodity in dispute,
a State might claim a police right to pro-
tect its citizens, if a majority saw fit to do
so; but even then the law would be inop-
eratiVe. Some day it may dawn on some
people that trade does not always thrive
best when hampered by legislative restrie-
tions.
F6m this State the Bridgewater Gas
COMPANY undertook to send gas to Youngs-
town, o., but the experiment did not pay,
though when the gas got there it burned as
naturally as in Pennsylvania.
