OGDEN, Feb. 20.-On Satur day night
the STANDARD announced that it would
close down, being unable longer to stand
up under the load of expense, owing to
the refusal of the Typographical union to
accept a reduction in the price of compo-
sition from 80 to 40 cents per thousand
ems. Tonight non-union force was put
on and the paper will be issued as usual
tomorrow morning. Nine more men are
expected to arrive from Denver on the
mornings Union Pacific train.
The trouble between the union and
management has been brewing for some
time, but only reached a climax on Satur-
day, when the printers announced that
ali further negotiations were at an end
and demanded that the office notify them
at what date their presence would not be
needed.
In order to smooth over the roughness,
Manager Glassman made fiaal PROPOSE
ton to the effect that the price of compo-
sition should remain at the old figures,
but that the printers should take 20 per
cent of their wages in stock in the COM
pany, this arrangement to be In force I'M
til the arrival OF Editor Cannon, who is
absent in Washington, and who is utterly
home. His return is expected within fiji
teen days. The offer was refused and the
union went out.
The management announced that dur
ing the last three years the paper has run
behind on an average of 81 900 per month
and has at last reached the end of its
rope. In order to secure additional credit
it was necessary to show a temporary
cash reduction IN expenses of $500 per
month. The necessary cut was made and
sustained by the editorial and business
departments, but the press and compos-
ing rooms declined to draw less than their
regular wages.
The paper seems to have the sympathy
OF the business men of the city, and to
day a committee demanded that it be
published as usual and promised any
needed aid.

WILL ALLOW SIX THOUSAND.
Judge Miner this afternoon granted the
request for a new trial in the damage case
of Sarah Woods and children VS.. Southern
Pacific railway company, unless the
plaintiffs will agree to a reduction OF the
Judgment from SO, 900 to s., 600, In which
case it is to be denied. The Judgment was
for the death of the plaintiffs husband
and father, who was killed on the rail-

THE sHERIFF's BACK SALARY.
The Judge also sustained the demurrer
IN the case of Sheriff Gilbert R. Belnap
vs.. Weber county, suit for $416 back sal
airy, on the grounds that the sheriff should
perform the duties of jailer and extin-
guisher of fires on the public domain
without compensation. a decision handed
down in a case brought under the
pauper act of 1892, which pro-
vides how poor people may com
mence and prosecute suits, contains the
opinion that the law is invalid for the
reason that it imposes extra duties upon
officers without providing for their COM
pensation.

organized tomorrow night in the city
hall. Much interest is being taken in the
movement.
