the SAFE WORKS SCHEME.
The DR. position to erect an extensive
safe anu vault factory here has gone
cut with puff. - has been
llurally "boom, bang, flLt!' and has
now flckefod out entirely. The pro-
ltclors take their departure today Tor
ihe Pacific coast, after having pub a
Humber Of real estate men to the tiOu'
bic OF showing them nround and
nslling up sites without getting
anything but disappointment Ia
return. II Is stated that Messfe.
Heeren aud Wyss have offers lrGm
Portland and Seattle for the factory,
aud that they are going there to look
them up. This they have n perfect
right to do. The further statement Is
made that, IA the safe and vault
manufacturers would have 10 COM
lste with the trade ON the
Pacific coast, tho high wage,
necessary 10 10 psii IN salt Lake
and tho small difference in freight
rates between Cincinnati and the coast
and Salt Lake and tho coast would
initiate against them. As 90 the
wages question It In u fact that the
tchtdule is no higher here than IN Cin-
Gnnati for good wOrkmen. In the
natter OF freight rates, there is no
delbt that the safe manufacturers
vsald be dlscriminatod against, rs
many local manufacturers are now, I'M
loo soine special arrangements should
be made; but just at the present time
the railways appear inclined 10 enter
into those special arrangements where
there Is anything tangible to form u
basis for action. Mere promises to 20
TO work will not bring terms from the
railroads.
Messrs. Coates Il Corum were among
the most active In endeayoring To
tecure the location OF the SAFE works
In this viciuity. twas announced In
am1rning contemporary t0lay that "A
blte belonging tO these gentlemen hsi
been selected and that the con.
tracts would bo signed today.
In response 10 an inquiry upon
the subject, Mr.. Corum said: "There
Ia nothing In II. Tho matter Is no
nearer contamination than 1t was u
week ngo. We nave done QUE best to
show up the advantages OF the place,
but the whole thing Is getting thread
bare, and / believe has about run Its
course"
The projectors OF the scheme may
have been In earnest In their expressed
desire TO locate n large safe factory
here, but tbs way thoy have leit mat.
Ter. bears the construction that because
they could not get tns factory built
and started for them and be provided
With handsome bonus besldee, they
