the hour of 4:40) and urging recess \
rumor ran over the western side Of the
hall where Chicago was in force that it
was the purpose Of the New Workers
to arrange over night for the transfer Of
their strength and that of st. Louis to
Washington. and the fact that Wilson lin

The nine hour system has good star
in Ashevillc. There are large number q
workingmen who apparently do not car
about being the first to "inaugurr:e
new career" as well as number of con
tractors, and the former have not asket
nor have the latter granted the shor
day. Still there are some firms who will
ingly allowed the request of their men
and IN not few cases has the nine houl
day been granted with ten hours pay
Among the latter are ]. l.. Perry, J. L
Dickcrson and 5. Grant. Mr.. Perry j.
engaged in repairing the house recent,
damaged by fire on Pcnland street ant
put his men to work this morning on the
nine hour schedule. DR.. Grant is erecting
a house on the corner of Vance and Col
lcgc streets, and is having it done, not by
contract but by day labor. His men
went to work yesterday ana will work
only nine hours with full days pay.
Mr.. Dickerson is also building u house by
day labor and is working his men the
same way.
Some of Mr.. Milton IInrdings men
were not at work yesterday because Of a
want of lumber, but those who were quit
when the nine hours had expired. The
Ashcvillc Furnit urc and Lumber company
have agreed to allow nine hours to con-
stitutc days work, but will only pay
for that much time. Those of their men
who desire have the privilege of putting
in ten hours. Fitzpatrick Bros. painters,
pay probably the best prices paid Ashc-
vile for good painters, and they say they
cannot afford to pay the same price for
nine hours that they pay for ten hours
work. All their men were at work yes
terday, with one exception, and the men
say they cannot afford to have their pay
cut down by stopping earlier, and hence
prefer to work the full ten hours. X. IL.
Lee X Co., painters, have all their men at
work on the ten hour schedule.
OF the plumbers. Ballard, Rich & Boycc,
Brown & Thrash and TAYLOR, Bouis &
Brotherton have their men working ten

HOTEL DECISION.

A legal decision in Tennessee holds that
a guest cannot bc charged for a fire IN
his room, the hotel having tacitly agreed
to make him comfortable when il opened
its doors for business, The incident is
not without suggestion. 1t stands to
reason that the hotel giving its guests
the greatest number Of comforts and
convcnicnccs will draw the largest Gus.
tom. On this principle the hotel with
electric lights, electric annunciators,
bells, etc., will I've more attractive than
another without them. We believe. for
example, that any hotel in Asheville,
during the summer time, putting
in electric motor fan outfits and advcr.
tising "bcdrooms cooled all night by
electric fans" will through that very in.
novation secure an enormous share ol
patronage.
