The dairymen have met again and taken
further steps tow ard forming a permanent
organization. This time their quiet con-
cl4ve was invaded by the reporter and the
proceedings of their heretofore exclusive
and mysterious meetings are now public
property.
After electing j. L. Starr as temporary
chairman, the secretary read set of resi-
buttons. in the form of a constitution or
pledge, setting forth the principles by
which the dairymen who had sighed the in
strument, some thirty in number, should
be governed in their relations to each other,
and the general public.
One of the first principles enunciated
was a resolution to aid in the good work
recen ly inaugura red by the health off GER
IN suppressing the vicious practice of
watering milk. Further details had 10 do
with the price of milk, a regular schedule
being arranged, the minutes of whici, could

SHIPBUILDERS' STRIKE
Settled by ConceiinS . Small Advance In

Settled by Conceiinx . Small Advance In
Workers. Wages
GLASGOW, Dec 1.-The great ship
building st ike has been settled. The
masters agreed to gran the Clyde men a
shilling week advance Immediately and
another shilling in February. The strike
has also been settled in Belfast, where the
men will get shilling advance in Feb
ruary. The settlement was undoubtedly
brought about by the fact that both the
Clyde and other ship.bu ld,ng firms we're
in danger of losing important contracts to
build foreign war ships, orders for W ich
already have been transferred 10 German
concerns.
The strike began at Belfast On October
IL, when 1000 engineers and their assist
ants refused to work any longer without a
restoration of the wage rate previous to
1892. The employ ers urged tina though
the yards were full of WORK they had ac-
cepted contracts at such unremunerative
rates that they could not afford to increase
wag- until the contracts were completed.
Tue important feature of the strike was
The fact that wo yards on the clyde, the
Thompson and the Fairchlds, which
closed in sympathy with the Belfast COM
pany, had government work which they
were asked to push forward at the utmost
speed. The Clyde company subsequently
locked out its employees.
hen the strike was in full sway it was
estimated that more than one hundred
thousand persons were affected, the coal
aud iron industries being considerably
hampered by ho sh,p-hui,ding strike.

MILEAGE CLAIMS ALLOWED

Judge Shaw is evidently in earnest in
the position taken in the matter of the de-
mands of his term trial jurors for mileage.
1t will be remembered that his honor went
before the supervisors and gave them a
piece of his mind as to their action in Or
dering the clerk to cut off the mileage
charges after they had been sworn to by
the jurors, saying plainly that felony had
been committed in each case where de-
mand had been altered. Vest erday morn
ing his honor addressed the jurors as fol-
lows:
81 wish to call the attention of the jury
men to a matter concerning their bills for
the last month. 1t has always been the in
structions OF the court, in making out the
jurors bills, not to allow mileage to a jul
ror, when he had attended several days in
succession, in going and returning those
days; but, when he has been excused for
more than one day at a time and has re.
turned, 10 allow him mileage for his return.
The bills for last month were made out in
accordance with those instructions as usna /.
Ithas come to my knowledge thai latter they
were sworn 10 by each juror aud filed with
the clerk of the board Of supervisors, the
supervisors caused the bills to be changed,
so that your bills as now on Il e, / under.
etand. do not claim anything for mileage,
except one trip. l am not sure that they

mileage for more than one trip during the
last month. The charge for mileage has
been stricken from the bills by an erasure
made, as am informed, without your all-
thoiity and under the directions of the
board of supervisors. Under the law, per-
sou who has any claim against the county
is required to fill bill, duly itemized aud
properly verified; and, ii the supervisors
do not allow it all and the claimant wants
to insist on the payment of 1t all, he then
has right to bring an action against the
county 10 recover the amount lie claims.
In order to maintain an action of
that kind 1T is necessary for him
bill for the amount which he claims.
The action of the board of supervisors ia
changing these bills puts you in u position
where, when you come to prove that you
had claimed this amount, you would be
deprived of that privll, GO. You cuuldn't
prove that you had ever claimed any thing
mileage. | think perhaps the board of sll-
pervisors didn't fully understand what they
were doing when thai action was taken;
cause il leaves you In position where, If
you want % exercise any right concerning
this mileage, you would be in somewhat of
p, edicament, unless you see that those
bills are correc ed. Aud will state to you
that think it is entirely proper that each
of you go to the board of supervisors and
demand that they Immediately restore
those bills to the condition they were in
when you swore to them and filed them,
and SEQ that it is DONE"
