The Riverside strike has been par
italy settled. The tube workers held
another meeting yesterday. About two
hundred had met at the City Hall, Ben
weed, and decided to accept the reduc-
ton. At the previous meeting, held
Friday afternoon, in the Eighth ward,
the vote stood II in favor of accepting
the reduction and SO opposed. This Or
der was reversed at yesterdays meet
ing, and those who advocated the ac-
ceptance of the reduction won by fair
majority. The tube workers clP~-t 70
go to work to-day, and appointed a
committee 10 notify the company of
their action. The men have been out
on a strike just a week, and while they
were apparently unanimous in the be-
ginning in favor Of staying out until
their demands were granted, an Opposi-
ton to the strike began to grow and
finally won. Those who advocated go
ing back to work say that they have as
surances from the company that their
old wages will be restored just as soon
as business improves. The change of
mind of a good many is said TO be due
to the report that the company intended
to start up the mill soon and to post no
tees that the places of all those who re-
NAMED out would be filled by others
who would be secured in their stead.
The steel workers also held meeting
at Benwood yesterday and practically
decided, also, to accept the reduction.
Their reduced schedule does not go into
effect until the 2Sth. The steel work
ers have also been idle for a week and
expect 10 go to work again this week.
At the time the steel works shut down
q week ago the force of machinlsts IN
the steel works was reduced, five men
ont of the nine being laid off. Those
who were retained had their wages cut
1215 cents a day, from 1925 to S212l2.
The machinists all agreed TO reiuse 10
go TO work at this reduction, but four
Of them returned to work the other day
after remaining out four days. AS
consequence their fellow workmen en-
plcved in the shop do not feel very
kindly towards them. II is probaple
that work in all departments. including
the steel works, plate department ana
tube works will resume this week.

The much talked of air ship seems to

THE TONNAGE PLAN.
The b. & o. viii Adopt 1t for Freight
Services on Nav l.

services on may L.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany has decided to inaugurate on May LIST
the tonnage system for handling its
freight trains. For the past eight or nine
months General Manager Greene has been
experimenting along this line, and has ar
rived at thS conclusion that the cost of
operation may be decreased, to some eX-
tent. by using this plan. 1t is not expect
ed that Il very great gain will be made,
as the r. & o. for the past year has been
loading very close to the limit. The unit
system will be the basis for operation on
the tonnage system. the unit of weight
being six and a half tons. When cars are
loaded or received from other lines the
number Of units of weight it contains will
be plainly marked on the side of the car
so that the trainmen will have no difficulty
in arriving at the proper number of units
to place in the train. The use of the unit
system renders it very easy for trainmen
to figure on just how many tons they are
handling and does away with the use of
five and six figures in addition.
When the great Improvements to the
track between Martinsburg and Cumber-
land are completed, more cars to the train
can be handled over Rhe Second division.
1t is expected that the gain over the entire
system Will be large enough to justify ,he
adoption of the tonnage plan.
There is likely to be considerable interest
taken in the railway pooling bill by the
railway labor organizations The railway
employees seem to understand thoroughly
the effect that disastrous rate war would
have upon them, and :ney will probably
pursue the policy TINT they did in regard
to the two-ccnt rate bills introduced in
several legislatures last winter. Commit
tees were appointed to appear before the
legislative committees and object to the
bills on the ground that they would tend
20 reduce wages. The leaders seem to
think that without pooling bill, and with
no traffic agreement. the situation would
be even worse than with two-cent fare
bills, so that much influence for the pass
age Of the bill will be brought by railway
employees.

Allacoochee the wonderful was never
more alive to the fact Of it's own i'm
portance and prosperity than on GER
tain day in September which had been
set apart and marked with a red letter
as the herald of new epoch in the his
tory of the city. 1t was to be ''blow-
ing-in" day at the Chiwassee furnace;
and the throbbing pulse of the great
blast-engines would thereupon open
new arteries of industry, flowing with
currents of molten iron to strengthen
and invigorate the thews and sinews of
the many-handed giant of labor.
There was to be an Industrial parade
and monster meeting in the afternoon
at the furnace, where platform had
been built for the orators, and where
the train load of capitalists and ex-
welcomed as the guests of the city.
At an early hour in the morning the
streets were thronged with visitors
moving in unique crowds under the
gayly decorated awnings, or stopping
in adniring groups to stare at the
elaborate display of bunting and flags
ornamcnting the company's offices in
the Guaranty building. In the anat-
omy of Allacoochee, the Guaranty
building was the brain; and in one OF
its comfortably furnished cells, iso-
lated by thick walls and deadened floors
from the out-of-door turmoil Of this
morning of expectation, the twin souls
of the urban monster sat facing each
other in morose silence. Four days

cloth of commerce. The short hair taken
from the hide is used to stuff cushions
and horse collars; thus the dead are
made to minister to the comfort of the
living. The hide furnishes q waterproof
leather known to the trade as cordovan
and is used for the manufacture of
high-class hunting and wading boots.
The hoofs of the animal are removed
and, after being boiled to extract,
shipped to the manufacturers of combs
and what are known as mikado goods.
The leg bones are very hard and white
and are used for the handles of pocket
and table cutlery. The ribs and heads
are burned to make boneblack, after
!hey have been treated for the glue that
is in them. In the calcining of those
bones the vapors arising are condensed
and form the chief source of carbonate
cf ammonia, which constitutes the base
of nearly all ammoniacal salts. There
is an animal oil yielded in the cooking
process which is deadly poison and
enters into the composition of many
insecticides and vermifuges.
