Want AN INCREASE


nay Men at Riversido Plate i1Ili will Ask
for More WaseI, and Meet for that Par
pose Sunday Afternoon.
At a meeting OF the day men OF the
Riverside plate mill, tomorrow after
noon, It IS likely that q committee will
be appointed to ask the management
for an Increase OF wages. No other de-
partment OF the plant is involved and
the plate mill tonnage men Will not
take part in the meeting which is called
for 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, at
the Benwood city hall About 100 men
are involved.
At present those known as run
down" men get 81 50 per day, and they
will ask for 81, The helpers at the fur
naces are also paid 81 50 and will ask
for the. same increase. The employees
work ut different Jobs and are classified,
but they win demand an increase in
proportion to that asked for by the
"run downs and furnace helpers. The
hIUhest wages are paid to the "hook-
ups" who get 81 a day. Some hot
bed" men get 81 60 daF, others work
at so much per heat. there being seven
heats. -,
The laborers who get 81 % day. will
likely ask for an increase. About
year AGO their wages were fixed at
81 rs a day, having previously been cut
to 81 Is, and the Increase a year ago
makes the laborers cautious about ask
ing for another. The men are hopeful
OF getting their requests 0cceded to, Tor
the Riverside plate mill is unusually
busy now for this time OF year.

Gave Him Trouble on the Cars When
he Reached for His Pass.
Yesterday on the street cars seemed
a dull wide featureless blank, compared
with Thursday when the women folks
held sway. but one lively oasis appear
ed on the desert OF monotony, as His
Honor Mayor Butts took his seat in a
Benwood car, bound for North Wheel
ing. The other passengers gazed at tho
cIty's chief executive with pride, for 10,
and behold, he had on white vest.
Then, when sufficient time had passed
bv, the conductor reached forth his
hand for fare" The mayor put one
hand in one pocket looking for his
"dead-head" book, and next tried an
other pocket, and then another. But no
pass came to pass, SO he ran his hands
up and down his vest, and then dropped
back on his seat wilma smile.
His vest was on inside out!
The conductor laughed, Mayor Butts
did likewise, but the passengers saw
interesting studies on the other end OF
the street. His Honor found his pass
ali right in his vest pocket, and explaln-
ed By saying that In a hurry he put his
''Wesklt" on inside out.

Those In the house apparently did not
discover their plight until the arrival of
the firemen. Then they ran out into the

escape to the street, but found II impos-

them Several of the tenants after un-

street by way of the stairs. went to the
roof The cooler headed among the ten
ants calmly descended to the ground by
way of the fire escape
Policemen and firemen In searching for
a man who was falsely reported to have
been sunocated by the smoke ascended
TO the roof, where they found seven of
the tenants busy making an improvised
rope out of the waists and skirts of the
women. with the aid of which they hoped
to escape from what they considered GER
tain death Their plan was to fasten one
end of the rope around the chimney and
so get down to the roof of the adjoining
house, which is IA feet below. Among the
persons on the roof were Mrs Annie
Warz- her sons George, fourteen years
old: Charles, twelve years old: Charles,
eight years old. all of whom live on the
