who come over here from Scotland every
year during the working season, and
return, carrying all their earnings with
them. They take advantage of the high
rate of wages maintained in this coun-
try by the union, and become burden
on the American workman. 1t is likely
that the plan of the stonecutters will be
followed in this matter; that is, fee Of
$50 charged on all international trans
fer cards. The stonemasons also protest
against having most of the city work in
their line done by imported "scab"
labor, while the skilled workmen and
taxpayers are left idle. At present all
city work is done by contract, the low
est bidder receiving the work. Often
this is some person ontside the city. He
brings all the workmen with him, and
they are generally ''scabs." a delegate
to the trade and labor assembly suggests
that the London plan would be an
improvement. There no contractor
labor. At the proper time the
trade and labor assembly will endeavor
to have the present city ordinance al
tered to the London plan, so that stone
masons and other classes of wOrkmen
may not be displaced by cheap contract
labor brought from the outside.
A new plan for thoroughly organiz-
ing the clerks is about to be tried. Mem
beers Of other organizations will refuse
to he waited upon by any clerk not
member of the clerks association. "Are
you member of the association" is the
question that the clerks will have to
answer every hour in the day. 1t is
well known that the success of the early
closing movement has been dne to the
efforts of the trade and labor assembly
rather than to the clerks association.
Many of the clerks belong to the asso-
cation and appreciate its benefits. 9th
ers are willing to accept the shorter
hours, but don't think it respectable to
belong to labor organization. A few
are afraid to join because their en-
ployers threaten to discharge them.
The other working people pro-
pose to make it more comfort
able for the clerks and more profit
able for their employers to have
the clerks members of the association.
AS clerks position and salary depend
upon the amount of sales, the clerk who
doesn't belong to the association may
expect in the near future to find his
sales dropping off to an alarming eX-
tent. Working cards will be issued to
bona fide members so there may be no
mistakes.

The Western ASSOCIATION schedule,
adopted week ago at Omaha, proves
on closer examination to be most eX-

concerned that it was adopted with hut
slight changes from the original draft.

games well spread out through the sea-

the July running meeting. 1t may con-
flict with the Big Four circuit trotting

New YORK, Feb. 15.--The next man
to meet Peter Jackson in the ring will
be Frank p. Slavin. The California
Athletic club will not wait for Sullivan
to make up his mind to accept their
offer of $4,000, and will give Slavin the
first chance, although Joe McAuliffe
claims that he has that privilege. Peter
says that he will not meet McAuliffe, as
there would be no fresh glory in 1t for
him. Immediately after defeating Cos
tello, in 1888, Slavin issued a challenge
to Jackson to fight for the champion
ship and e1.25O side. but Jackson re-
fused to meet him, and left soon after
for America. He will now crafty

wins idea in refusing point blank to
meet McAuliffe was very bright piece
of work. for If he made q match with
McAuliffe, who was easily defeated by
Jackson, many things might occur TO
bring about Slavin's defeat, which
would settle his financial career in this
country.

the schedule for the coming season,

Young assuring him that there is moth

Young does not hesitate to say that

sensational reports concerning the

the March meeting is held and the play

he has not received word or suggestion
from any member of the committee on
the subject, and he does not know
whether they are making up the sched-
ule for eight or ten clubs. They may
prepare two separate schedules to
meet either emergency, and it, will
be competent for the league to de-

the coming meeting is really continu-

bershlp can be changed if necessary,
and any other legitimate business in
connection with the leagues present or

evident from Young's remarks that if
there is any deal on foot he is not aware
of it, and he does not like to believe
that he would he ignored if anything of
