Another conference on the tin plate
workers. wage scale has been arranged.
Il win be held In Chicago on Friday,
July Z, by committees of the Amalga-
mated Association and the American
Tin Plate Company.
Whom q well-known member Of the
Amalgamated Association learned
through an Intelligencer man of the
second conference on the tin plate scale
he said:
II viii go on record with this pTedlc-
ton. The workers and the company
viii agree on compromise basis ana
all the mills viii resume in few days.
! believe the company will coneede
twelve and one-half or even fifteen per
cent. advance In the wages, and VIII
concede to the Amalgamated the privi-
lege Of unlOnlzlng those OF the COM
pany's mills that are now non-union.
As to the basis Of production / do not
believe there win be any change"
At the conference held in June the
workers demanded an advance of 20 per
cent. while the manufacturers commits
tee refused to grant more than II per
cent. the amount given the skilled
worlsmen in the sheet mills. No agree
ment was reached. as the workers COM
mlttee was acting under Instructions
from the convention, and had no au-
thority to make any concessions.
AT the close OF the conference Secre-
tGry John Williams, OF the Amalgamat'
ed Association. sent circulars to the
L. tho
situation. Meetings were held, and the
results were mailed to headquarters,
and received yesterday morning. The
committee has been granted discre-
tionary power. but It rs urged to insist
on the original demand for an advance
OF 90 per cent.
The failure to agree on wage scale
resulted in the closing Of all the tin
plate plants in the country on July l,
throwing fully $4,000 workers Idle. OF
this number about $4,000 are skilled
men, and belong to the Amalgamated
Association. The majority Of the others
are tin house men. and are members of
the International Tin Plate Workers
Protective Association. They present.
ed n scale which was signed, and gives
the workers an advance that averages
probably 90 per cent. They are depend
ent, however, on the skilled workmen,
and will remain idle until the wage
scale for the skilled men IS agreed to.
There seems to be no doubt that a
settlement will be reached ut the COM
ing conference. and that all the fac
tories In the country viii be In opera

Vice President William S. Collier, Of
the Amalgamated Association, says he

Last night at the Germania bank, the
board of directors of the West Virginia
State Fair Association met in special
session to take up matters in connec-
ton with the big fair OF the coming
September. The board discussed the
matter of opening the fair to the public
on evenings. which was thought to be
desirable on account of the policy Of
the association OF making its Midway
this year more attractive than in former
years It will be disappointing to the
public to learn that the directors didn't
look with favor upon the proposition,
and, while It was not definitely decided
not to open the fair during the even
lngs, yet the sentiment seemed to be
against the move. The suggestion that
the fair would possibly be open at night
has been received with enthusiasm, and
the Intelligencer believes 1t reflects the
sentiment of the public in entertaining
the hope that the directors will recon
slider the matter and vote for the
"nlght-open-fair" The wonderful popu-
larlty of the late Blks' street fair, es-
pecially at night, is assurance that a
move in that direction by the fair assoc
citation would be as popular.
The directors, at any rate, intend to
have Midway at the coming fair that
will break all former records here. Last
night a contract was closed with
Kemp's wild West and Hippodrome. in
which are included no less than seven
teen frst-class attractions and fifty
people. Other Midway attractions are
being negotiated for and contracts will
be closed soon.
1t was decided that a German VII
lage" would be one Of the fairs new at
fractions. and the committee on build
inGs and grounds was instructed to
proceed with arrangements for 1t.
The board decided on Tuesday as
"children's Day" when admission to
school children accompanied by par
ents, will be free.

PITTSBURGH. July 5.-The Presby-

meshes of financial distress, although
there is a widespread impression to the
contrary. 1t had been groanlng for
months before the meeting of the Pres
byterlan general assembly at Mlnneap-
oils under heavy burden, a debt OF al
most $4,000. A movement was started
to lIquIdate the debt, and at the assem-
bly, "a long pull. steady pull and a
pull altogether" was made. and 1t was
announced that the debt was more than
paid. But 1t turns out that somewhat
like the subscriptions at church dedl-
cations the money Is slow coming in.
Now, nearly six weeks after the TAX
Ing OF the pledges, only $4,000 has been
paid into the Golfers Of the board. On
account OF the announcement OF the
payment Of the debt and the general
jollifcation attending thereto, many
churches consider themselves abb
solved from obligations to make fur

A PECULIAR PENAL COLONY.
This convict country is the only
penal settlement where ~conyicts are al
owed to marry, as a result Of good be-
havIor. and are given farms. That is
one Of the principal things / want to
see. l do not. however, believe that
marriages among the desperate Grim
inal classes, such as France sends out
to New Caledonia, are conducive of
good results: for to my mind. children
born Of such marriages have the Grim

other words these convict marriages
breed criminals. 1t is one of the in
teresting phases Of pathological study,
and in New Caledonia | will find the
Oldest existing systems of convict col
%onization. Most all the nations have
given up this class Of colonization. In
England today the prisoners are con-
fined in England, and are not sent
away at all.
Why the French government insti-
tuted the custom of marriages among
the convicts OF New Caledonia, I can
not definitely state except as a colo
nization measure, and as a piece of
French se~ntimentality. II is not an
Anglo-Saxon sentiment by any means.

Minister of Colonies at Paris, ordering
the Governor of the French settlement
to give me every possible attention and

me after thirty days delay, as a matter

pose OF supplying the Jews columns of
a new six-day London paper which is
to be started next Spring.

MISSING WORD CONTESTS.

We are TO credit the inaugur-

contests. Although conducted in a
legitimate manner, and to n entire
satisfaction of those interested in
handling the gigantic affair, yet some
crank caused the matter to be brought
into court. There the money which
was involved was finally deposited.
Mr.. Pearson urged the court to allow
him to distribute the prize money in
the regular manner, as an attempt 20
return it through the court would
cause considerable trouble. This the
court would not allow; and a great
scandal resulted which caused much
ill-feeling toward the Pearson COM
