GARLAND HERE
Talked to AmaIgamated AsSo-
citation Men Last Night.
ROLLING MILL TO START UP
The Trouble at Admission Is in Statu Quo,
With Little Prospect of Adjustment
lie Leaves Today.

President M. NJ. Garland of the Anal
gamated Association of Iron, Steel and
Tin Plate Workers of the United States
reached the city yesterday at noon from
Admission, where he has been for several
days endeavoring to adjust the trouble
existing between the men and the opera
tors of the United States Car works. The
matter, however, is still pending, no
agreement having yet been arrived at.
He is in Birmingham on his annual
visit, and addressed about 400 workmen
in Elks' hall, over the First National
bank, last night
Everything is agreeable and pleasantb be-
tween the men and the operators in Biz
mingham, and the State Herald was re-
liably informed last night that the roll
ing mills will resume operation next
week. The scale of prices has been
agreed to and contracts all signed up for
the year ending June 30, 1897. There IS
but little change in the scale and that
paid last year. The puddlers will get
so cents per ton advance. In the finish
ing department the scale is practically
the same as last year.
The members of the association look
upon President Garland as one of the
best officers the association has ever had,
and he is indeed the confidant of both
the men and manufacturers wherever
the order exists.
His address last night was confined to
the members of the order, and the State
Herald is informed it was directed in the
main to the workings of the association
and the duties of the members in stand
ing by and upholding the order by at
tending its meetings and informing
themselves as to it's principles ana de-
mandS.
Mr. Garland goes from here to Rome,
Ca, and will leave today.
He reports that he has had quite
pleasant trip.
1t was due to Mr.. Garland's efforts that
the puddlers obtained an increase IN the
scale.
A State Herald reporter had short in
teryieW with Mr.. Garland at his MOTEL
at the conclusion of his address.
He reports the iron industry exceed
ingly dull wherever he has Travelled. ana
the business in very unsettled anu vi
satisfactory condition. The only trouoie
now existing in his association, ne says, IS
at Admission. Demands are made when,
while they are apparently of minor I'M
portance, cannot be acceded to, ana III
fact are impracticable. For instance,
the regulation of the hours for beginning
and quitting work. Whiie TINS may vi ne
done in factories it will not work In roll
ing mill A man cannot begin his work
until things are ready, nor can he quit
his forge when his metal will waste. In
other instances to accede would DE an
unnecessary sacrifice of manhood.
Judging from his conversation, there Is
a wide difference existing, and some time
vet may elapse before a settlement is az
fected. 80.
He was non-committal on political
matters. and was reticent about even
talking on this subject. The State Her
aid. however, is reliably informed that
while he has always been a republican,
he is an avowed advocate of the free
coinage of silver and will vote for Bryan
and Sewall

IN JAIL TODAY
The Mayor and Aldermen of Louisville May
Cool Their Heels-0ld Board
of Safety on Top

Louisville, Aug. 2S.-Appellate Judge
Hazelrig, sitting at Frankfort, this
morning reinstated the injunction
against the mayor and board of alder
men, restraining them from proceed
ing in the Impeachment proceedings
against the old board of public safety
Judge Toney having dissolved the in
junction soon after granting it. This
means that the mayor and aldermen will
be sent to jail tomorrow for contempt
of court and knocks out all of the inn
parchment proceedings.
Judge Hazelrig's decision is a great vic
tory for the old board as it holds the
charges on which the impeachment was
made are contrary to law and entirely
insufficient.
Judge Hazelrig's favorable decision did
not cause the old board to relax its Wig
lance and the police office and stations
are still under guard. The mayor and
aldermen will come before Judge Toney
tomorrow morning on his contempt rule.

Travelled with them throughout the coun-
