All sorts of rumors are flying about in the
District Guard concerning a possible reorgan-
ization. No one knows with certainty what
it IS TO be, but every one is sure some
changes, and important ones at that, are con-
templated. The coming into the brigade of
the National Rides would make some of the
changes that are anticipated, but since that
company is not sure what il Will do, expecta-
tions must look in some other direction. The
changes, it is expected, viii affect some Off
GERS Of high standing, and also make the
transfer Of several companies necessary. All
are to be mude on the inc Of efficiency. Some
Of the battaiions are Woefully run down, and
the intention is TO build them up. A higher
degree Of proficiency is to be reached or some
thing unpleasant is going to happen. All
this Is in the air and officers are loath to say
much more than this about it.

Plate Printers. Machinists. Tailors and Musi-
clans reported adversely; the rest OF the locals
had taken no action.
The bakers reported that in one shop
where imported non-union men had been put
10 work the rest of the men had refused to
work, and while it looked, at one time. that
the employer would let the union men go and
keep the non-union men, he finally decided
to favor the union men.
Several of the delegates of the Federation
interested in the cheap-bread agitation asked
questions of the bakers relating TO the make
up of the 4-cent bread. The bakers re-
flour, water and salt. One delegate inquired
If the bread advertised at 8 cents a loaf
by firm of butchers was made by union
labor and If it was, how could it be sold at
8 cents?
The reply was the bread sold by that firm
was the kind known as 4-cent bread which
was sold to dealers at 8 cents, and that the
firm alluded to had sold the bread at cost to
their customers.
The BARRIERS reported that Dungan's barber

usually do such things.
Troop is down TO hard work and means
to be in frst-class shape before the winter is
over. Monday night twenty-six men were
present, and after drill the troop was divided
for drilling purposes. The division consists
of two platoons. each platoon is divided into
two sections, and each section into two
squads. Each platoon is in charge OF ser
geant and each squad in charge Of corporal.

Fourteen recruits have joined since camp,
and the quota will be full before 1t moves into
the new armory. The officers talk now OF
having the first mounted drill on Thanksgiv-
ing Day. The invitation extended some time
ago for the troop to visit Baltimore has been
declined, as was also an invitation to visit
Philadelphia. TO participate in the ceremonies
attendant upon the unveiling of statue Of
Gen. McClelland. The sculptor was formerly
an active member of the troop.
