ton. There is a wide difference be-
tween the manufacturers and workers
on the subject Of wages, and the latter
insist that, Notwithstanding the reduc'
tion OF the duty, the wages agreed upon
in juno can be paid the remainder Of
the scale year.
Two important reasons are given for
tho action taken by the ManufaCturers'
Association. One Is that the closing
OF the factories ia to discourage pros
pective builders OF tin plate plants.
There arc at least ten in course OF erec.
ton, while manufacturers Of tin plate
machinery are enlarging their works. It
was decided to put up some OF these
factories after it was known that tho
cut in tho duty would be one cent per
pound.
Another reason given by tho manu-
facturers is that, under Secretary Car
lisle's ruling, 100000 pounds Of tin
plate now in bond can be put on tho
market on Monday by paying the now
tariff OF 2-l0 cents per lpound. This
will supply all demands for some time
to come. On the other hand, the
workers assert that the shut down is
merely scheme Of the mapufacturers
to compel their emyloyes to work for
lower wages.
SWANSEA, Sept. 3O.-1t is rumored
here that there is movement on foot
to strike blow at the tin.plate trade
OF the United States. It being contend
ed that tho Americans cannot produce
certain plates without Welsh labor. tho
representatives of labor in Wales are
inviting the return to that country Of
oil makers OF tin-plate in America, who
have been discharged from their posi-.
tions, or whose wages have been reduced
as a consequences Of tho adoption OF the
nsw tariff.

the circumstances, is fortunate. Itis u
sure thing that the local boys will never
again attempt to run race meet on

fifty per cent OF tho people hero who

1t impossible for them to attend races
on tho last day OF the week. As ono
merchant puts it, "Wo do more business
on Saturday than on all the other five

have been among tho loudest rooters at

From tho standpoint OF good racing,
tho moet on Saturday was a magnificent

is safe to say that the patronage will be

three respects. The Glass B men, who
