THE MACHINISTS BITTER.
Central Labor Union to De-
clare Against typographical Body.

Last evenings session of the Central La
Dor Union was almost entirely taken up
with the old quarrel between the Machinists
and the Typographical Union. The ma
chinists presented resolutions d~enouncing
the Typographical Union for what they
termed efforts to break up the organization
OF the machinists. The resolutions were re-
ferred to the arbitration committee and the
report from that committee
that the delegate from the Central Labor
Union to the American Federation of Labor
be instructed TO urge that some arbitration
of the differences be made. Bitter speeches
were made on both sides. and the great
majority of the members believed it was a
national trouble and not a local one, so that
any action other than 10 urge its settlement
by the American Federation of Labor would
be nonsense. The machinists insisted that
the typographical Union be denounced and
that a local. matter be made Of 1t. When
the machinjsts saw that the trend of opin-
lon was in favor of the report OF the COM
mlttee and not TO denounce or make IL a
local matter, they stated that they would
to their union withdrawal from
the Central Labor Union. This brought
out a sharp reprimand from the president
who. told them that if that was their at
titude, II was the attitude of babies who
sane I, II 4bhsrs Wouid not play N their way
all. He advised them TO get out ii that
was the way they felt. After arguments
and speeches for ever an hour, the report of
the committee was adopted with the ma
chinists alone voting against 1t.
The painters asked that some action be
taken regarding the work of their trade
now being done at the Girls Reformatory,
the Central Insane Hospital and the County
Poor Asylum. In all three instances the
contractors are said to be employing non
union labor. The grievance committee was
instructed to make an investigation and
see what could be lone towards having
union labor emplOyed.
The report OF the Sunday concert a few
weeks ago for the benefit of a library and
reading room and a home for organized
labor, showed the receipts were $3.50 dis
bursements 1885, leaving a balance of
$1S2.S5. 1t was announced that among those
who will take part In the concert next SUM-
day afternoon are Carl Oelschlagel, concert
meister of the Musk Verein, in a violin
solo; Mrs. Josephine Bremmerman-
EdmundS will sing a solo and the concert
numbers by the band of fifty pieces will be
conducted by Henry Klausman. The truss
tees were authorized TO so amend the con-
stitution that the money from these con-
certs shall be used for no other purpose
than the one for which it is advertised. The
messenger boys will meet Thursday evening
Tor organization as several members of the
Central Labor Union have volunteered to
meet with them and assist them at all their
meetings.

TO MEET Mr.. SCHAFF.


Fl. W. Belknap. a conductor on the st.
Louis division of the Big Four road. and
chairman Of the committee of the trainmen
of the Big Four system. is at the Occidental.
He says the committee. which is composed
of twelve men-one from each division of
the arranged to meet General
Manager Schaff in this city this morning
to talk over the wage question, so far as 1t
applies TO brakemen and switchmen.
He says the meeting Is not in any sense
one to adjust any grievances, but simply TO
settle a matter that has been held in abey-
ance for several years. He says the men will
ask for the restoration of the scale of 1893.
and there Is every reason to believe that
their request will be granted.
This talk of a strike makes me sick,
said he. why should we strike? Most of
twenty years and never have had any idea
Of quitting il. We were all parties TO the
agreement made in 1898. when wages were
cut, and all OF us realize that the cut was
justified. We have always received good
treatment from the company and are simply
meeting tomorrow in conformity with an
old agreement that. when business justified
II. our wages would be raised. We think
the time has come and Will ask for IL, with
a full understanding that our request will
be granted. at least In some form acceptable
to both sides. We like our employers and
they like as, and We don't appreciate these
reports sent out by uniformed newspaper
men. who hold us up as something like an
archists and bomb-throwers when We are
men who feel as closely Identified with
the road as Mr.. Schaff himself"

Is a decided success in a musical way. Good
costumes and handsome special scenery are
brought out in both burlesques. The usual

One of the Symphony Artists.

Miss Elsa Ruegger. '~cellist. who is TO play
at one Of the symphony concerts in this
city. appeared for the first time in this
country Saturday evening at the Symphony
Orchestra concert in Boston. The Boston
Sunday Herald has this to say of her:
Miss Ruegger's performance of the solo
part showed her to be a young artist of
admirable skill. Her technique is ample and
she plays with a musicians sincerity of
style, and a freedom from affectation and
unnecessary display that win esteem for
her at once. Elegance, warmth of feeling,
intelligence and a leaning toward what is
best and worthiest in her art are among
the strongly marked qualities that We're
clearly apparent in all that she did. Her
information is fautless. her execution with
out a blur, and her taste wholly refined.
She is an excellent and very interesting
artist. and the justly favorable impression
she made was convincingly emphasized by
the cordial applause and the enthusiastic
recalls she received at the end of the con-
cert. Miss Ruegger played with success in
Berlin. Vienna. Paris and London, as we'll
as in many smaller cities"

A resident of Woodruff Place gave people
living in that suburb a scare yesterday.
Following the autumnal custom of burning
up all old leaves about his lawn, the man
set fire to a pile Of them while a strong
wind was blowing. They were dry and
were caught up by the wind and carried TO
all sides OF the lot, and speedily commune
cated 10 scattered leaves in a vacant lot
adjoining. Seeing that the flames were
rapidly nearing neighboring houses. the
man made frantic efforts TO quench them
and succeeded only after a hard light in
which he would put out the fire on one side
Of the lot only to see it break out at an
other point.
