Formulation of q Plan to Offset Depart

ment Store Competition.
NEW YORK, May "a special meet
ing of the executive committee of the
Newsdealers,' Booksellers and Station
ers' National association was held for
the purpose of formulating plan for
the protection of booksellers in the
United States from the assaults made
upon them by department. storekeepers
in regard to the cutting of
prices in books. 1t is contended
that storekeepers sell books far
below cost price in order to cripple the
trade of the regular booksellers. An
important feature of the meeting,
which was presided over by National
President M. Moy of Pawtucket, R. l.,
was to draft an appeal which will be
issued in few days to the entire trade
throughout the United States to attend
a convention of the national associa~
ton, which will be held in Brooklyn
Aug. 13 and II next, at which all mat
ters relating to the trade will be fully
discussed.

P1TTsBURG, May 9.-Things are still
looking very blue for tie striking min
ers in this district. The Stockdale,
Allen and Fidelity mines on the
Wheeling division of the Baltimore
and Ohio have resumed at AZ cents per
ton. AS they are thick vein mines this
price is equivalent to the 6O-cent rate
for thin vein miners. The Eureka and
Waverly mines have also resumed,
partly with non-union men, and the
Germania has succeeded in getting out
some coal. The miners officials have
not given up hope, however, and are
still trying to hold the strikers in line.

RIOT OF STRIKERS
They Attack the Plant of the
Illinois Steel Company
at Chicago.
POLICE ARE CALLED OUT
Trouble Not Ended Until MANY

CHICAGO, May "a serious strike
occurred at the plant of the Illinois
Steel company in South Chicago during
the morning, 200 men throwing down
their tools and walking out. In the
evening fight occurred IN the COM
pany's yards and it was found neces-
sary to call in the police The strikers
for time stood their ground against
the officers, but were soon routed and
driven from the premises. The men
most seriously hurt were: Jack Shep.
herd, machinist, struck on the head
by hammer; Edward Shaska, striker,
body bruises; Officer Leiendecker, hi
with coupling pin; Officer Patrick Nc
Cauley, hit in the mouth with brick
All the officers received bruises and
contusions more or less severe from
pieces of missiles thrown by the riot
ers.
Many Arrests Were Made.
Twenty eight men, who are said to
have been the leaders of the strikers at
the rloting, were arreste and locked
up at the South Chicago police station.
They arc charged with rioting.
When the men quit work they were
disposed to be orderly and peaceable,
but later affairs took an ugly aspect,
and it was found necessary to call Oh
the police to drive them out. Shortly
before ) o'clock a crowd numbering
1,600 men forced their way past the
watchmen at one of the gates and
Proceeded to Take Possession
of the company's property. They
marched first to where some of the
laboring men were still at work, and
either compelled them to join their
ranks or quit work. Not much trouble
was experienced with the laborers, but
when the strikers reached the machine
shops where about 400 machinists were
employed they met with a different re-
ception.
The machinists have scale of their
own and the fight of the other men
made no particular difference to them,
and they refused either to quit or to
allow themselves to be
Driven Out of the Yards.
The strikers, who for the most part
were Poles and Hungarians, made sew.
eral attempts to persuade the machin'
lists to leave their work, but finding
them unsuccessful they began an at.
tack upon the machine shop with stones
and such weapons as they could pick
up The machinists stood their ground
and gave the strikers as good as they
sent. The fight was growing warm
and broken heads and bloody noses
were growing very common, when the
police arrived ON the scene. They
were under the command of Captain
Jenkins, who at once
Made q Charge on the Mob
With his handful of officers. The
strihe ers at first refused to give ground
and the police used their clubs freely.
This did not have the desired effect,
and Captain Jenkins ordered his men
to draw their revolvers and fire over
the heads of the strikers. As soon as
this was done the mob broke and fed
wildly from the premises of the COM
pany. The fight lasted only a few
minutes, and there was no more riot
ing.

Ed. ENTERPRISE: The article in last
weeks issue, signed "W.," so far as it
concerns what was said of my remarks
at the waterworks meeting Of Monday
evening, the 18th inst, needs no reply
from ME.
The developments Of Monday evening
last show conclusiyely that an inyestiga-
tion of the engineers report was neces-
sary, in fact was vital to the interest Of
the village. A mistake Of such magni-
tude as a shrinkage Of watershed from
four square miles to scarcely one-half Of
one square mile is inexcusable, IL not
criminal. And now that the citizens Of
our village may still further be informed
in regard to the unreliability Of the en-
gineers report, let me quote some CORE
spondence that has just reached me since
the Monday evening meeting, in regard
to the supply necessary to carry through
the dry season a village in population
almost identical with our own:
ALLEGAN, Mich, 3-18 '95.
Mr. Haskell, Dear Sir:-0ur population
is 2,670. Average daily use Of water per
capita, fraction over 1872 gallons see pa
per l mail you today. Yours,
A. w. LUTTS.
Accompanying this card is copy Of
the Enterprise Of March 10, '95, contain
ing the arJicle on waterworks before re-
ferred to signed "W.," with brackets in
closing thatpart Of the first column re-
ferring to the daily consumption Of wa
ter. Enclosed with the Enterprise is a
copy of the Allegan Gazette of March 8,
'95, which contains the printed annual
report Of the village officers and commit
tees, as given at the council meeting
Monday evening, part of which is here
in copied. That part referring to the re-
port of the water committee is as follows:
ALLEGAN, Mich, Feb. 2S, '95.
To the president and board of trustees of
The village.Of Allegan: eal y
We, the water committee, respectfully
submit our report for the term ending
Feb. 2S, '95, as follows from the superin-
tendent of waterwOrks:
Amount of water pumped from the first
of March, '94, to the first Of March, '95-
total, $50, ,S97, 800 gallons; daily, 413,419
gallons. There has been an increase in
the last year in use Of water Of IA, 118, 100
gallons.
Apply the above figures to the estimate
Of the engineer as to the capacity of the
proposed reservoir, and what is the re-
suit? Ayearly consumption of $50, 1897, 800
gallons would be an average amount of
1854, 1926 gallons per month. According
to the engineers estimate Of seven
months of dry weather, we would need
storage of SS,023,775 gallons to carry
us over the dry season. The proposed res
ervOir is estimated to contain 38,500, ,00C
gallons, leaving shortage Of 1888, 775
gallons, so that by this comparison of
the estimate of the engineer with the ex-
perience of a village of practically the
same number Of inhabitants, we would
be absOlutelywithout any protection from
fire, or water for other uses, for more
than one half the estimated dry season.
Further comment is unnecessary. The
papers are in my Office, and any one may
call and examine them for himself.

No Confidence In -WaterwOrlKs
Proceedings VIII Take a Recess--A
Wet Blanket Thrown Over The Meeting.
The adjourned session Of the citizens
mass melting was held in the opera
house Monday evening and was largely
attended. Hon. SIS. Warner occupied
the chair and a free discussion ensued,
after which the, assistant county surveyor
submitted his report. The surveyor
claimed that there was 361 acres in the
central basin. On the west there was
1923 acres and on the east 1876 acres which
could be used in case of necessity MAX
ing grand total Of S24 acres.
At this juncture of the proceedings
then was grand war-whOOp from the
friends Of the basin. Hon. j. 7. Haskell
being present and being Tightening
calculator, took the surveyors figures and
could only squeeze out 361 acres all told.
The surveyor thought that it could not
be possible that he could have made such
an error, but finally discovered that he
should have divided his total by 2, and
finally yielded to Mr.. Haskell. This
caused whOOp from the Opposers.
Messrs. BransOn and Couch expressed
themselves as having lost confidence in
Engineer Chaplin. A letter was read by
Mr.. Wean, from the weather bureau,
giving the rainfall for the past few
years in Tiffin. Remarks were made by
number of other gentlemen, but when
the mistake was discovered, that was
made by the surveyor, the interest in
the meeting subsided and a number be.
gan to take French leave. The bene-
diction was then pronounced and the
meeting adjourned without day.
