The Potters' Union.

I;is learned thst the National Peters
Union This year are following rev tactics
regarding their trade and methods of work.
They hays made preparations to follow 10
.he footsteps of the glasswOrkefs union,
and are now at wOsk gathering statistics
Of the trade which is forwarded on to head
quarters and completed. Il is the inten-
tion Of the projectors Of this plan to secure
definite information regarding the cost Ct
production Of ware, the cost and amounts
Of material used, labor hired, demand for
the goods. profits Of the business, snd, IN
fact. everything connected with the trade.
They have, il Is claimed, competent man
% every manufacturing establishment eo1-
neeted with the p1tting business IN this
country. TIE head Of The POlters'
Uaion, J. A. O'Neil, has been sp-
pointed to have charge Of the collection of
statistics regarding the potting trade, thus
opening up y fruitful channel OF search for
the order to which he belongs.
The object Of this plan is to have the
men know the cost of production, what
amount Of ware Is required to supply the
wants Of consumers, to prevent overpro-
duction ard fluctuations of value in the
commodity. This, it is claimed, can be &C
comp}shed in the potting buainess the same
az ID IS with the glass manufacturers to-day.
From what can be learned, several par
ties who were instrumental in the foonda-
ton of the glass blowers union are st work
with the potiing trade, and are confident
of forming a similar organization in the
noting trade es nOW controls the manu-
laeLnre of plRss.

Of the minutes Of the previous meeting was
dispensed With and the ordinance taken
up oa its second reading for amendment
and debate. After Clerk Thoner had read

assessors should ferret them cut, but thsy
did not do So lie would Therefore like to
have some light thrown or the matter by
the origiuators of the ordinance.
Mr.. Davidson said he didn't approve of
any such an ordinance, that the assessors
were paid for their work and they should
do it. He therefore moved TO lay the Or
dinance on the table. Mr.. Ellipghsm
seconded the motion and it carried without
q dissenting voice.
The report Of the Board Of Equalization
