Trouble In the Big Tanneries of Chi
Two thousand tanners and curriers', en-

socation have united in declaring reduc-
ton of 10 to 20 per cent in wages and rails

per day. and when this was put into effect
at the Eisendrath tannery Tuesday strike
occurred at once. Other tanneries in Chi

and it is expected that nearly every tan
merry in the city will have closed its doors
by today

establishment yesterday morning. and but

Managers of the various tannerieS state
that they are forced to reduce wages and

cities, notably Milwaukee, where time and
wage schedules accord with the proposed
changes in Chicago.

The twenty-fifth annual convention of

AS heretofore, the meeting was held in the
Lyceum Hall, and about one hundred and
forty men were in attendance by noon,
when a plain hut abundant collation. was
served in an adjoining school house. The
standing committees on railroad crossings,
farmers market and public roads report

Mannakee, and the two others equally well
presented by Roger b. Farquhar, who,
however busy he may be with his own

DIR. Francis Thomas had been appointed

our farmers and methods Of relief, and he
onered an admirable paper Oh the topic.
He considered the business of farming for
the past forty years. dividing 1t into 1.-The
good old ante-bellum days, the war time
ard the succeeding twenty years, the past
decade. Although manyG farmers did not
recognize the face Of prosperity when she
showed herself, the essaSist believed the

AS some of his heare9s .dGBented from

had found economical, and was confident,

THE WINSTON ALDERMEN'S AC-
TION.

The advocates of making the Southern
Railway a present Of $4,000 annually
for ninety-nine years are parading the
action of the Winston Board of Alder
men as in favor of the lease. We have
already shown that the letter signed by
these officers specially opposes only such
bill as would prevent the building OF
lines beneficial to that city. 1t turns
out that, as reported favorably by the
committee, the provision forbidding par
alelling lines is discarded, and the OBJ
lection stated by the Winston aldermen
falls to the ground. But even if this
were not so, the action of the Winston
board ought to have no weight.
We learn from private letter from
Winston that no meeting of the board
was held at all; that the paper signed
was taken around privately to the Re.
publican aldermen who were induced to
sign it, and that no Democratic mem
Der of the board would attach his name
to it. The Winston Sentinel refers to
the whole business as 'clandestine, star
chamber proceedings" says no meeting
of the board was held, and no opportunity
for discussion given, and adds:
"This style of conducting public
business smacks Of personal influence
and political trickery and is not CON
duciye to the best interests Of the
people, and in their name we protest
against it and again call halt"
The Winston-Salem Chamber of Com
merce, which passed ringing resolutions
in favor Of annulling the lease, was
called publicly, was largely attended, and
there were only three dis
senting votes of the business
men who compose that repre-.
sentative body. Contrast this with the
"Star Chamber" milk and water letter
of Republican politicians ,and you see
that the business men of the progressive
Twin-City want the lease annulIed, while
a few Republican aldermen have been
persuaded to sign a paper that is con-
strued to be in favor Of its standing.
This tells Winston's position.
