Of the United States will be call
ed upon to join an organization
tfor preventing their salaries from be-
ing reduced and to secure an increase
over present salaries to the sums paid
before the hard times of the last five
years began. Twenty Chicago sales
men took the initial action atthe Pal
mer House yesterday, declaring that
increased business on the part of man.
4 ufacturers warranted the statesmen in
4 asking for more pay. The following
was adopted: "The time has arrived
when men should act for their own
protection against having their wages
lowered, their usefulness curtailed and
themselves forced to change their avo-

monopolies and trusts. We appeal to
all statesmen to organize clubs all over
the country, with a view to demanding
such legislation by the government and
by each state as will destroy the ille-
gal concentration of capital and the
curtailment of vast industries, which
eliminate competition and destroy our
usefulness. C. M. Moore, the chair
man, suggested that in each state n
bill be drafted to prevent the dealing

state and private banks, and the hold

men enter into politics to support any
nominee who will be a candidate on
an antitrust platform. Within a few
days a charter will be asked for by the
statesmen for club to be named the
George Dewey Club. Chicago Rec
ord, April "a. "
4 Glad to see you organize, you fellows
4 who have suddenly discovered that you
are wage-earners, rather than salariel
men. Tt is, indeed quite refreshing,
and the disposition to organize to fight
the capitalists is positively surprising,
which places you at once in the cate
CORY with agitators, disturbers and
other enemies of capitalistic society.
But your protests will be in vain.
Fighting the trusts, my dear sirs, is
futile. You might as we'll fight the
summer wind and try to stop its blow
ing. This trust business is evolution
q natural law in operation and will
crush all who are in.its way.

their fellow workers all over the coun-

PRODUCTION of new methads can be re-
stored, there are whole lot of print

Arbitration Board LnbOrs Hard But
without Result.

without Result.
BUFFALO, May 1.-THE members of tn
state board of arbitration and mediation
have worked hard today in an endeavor tt
settle the existing troubles on the docks
Conference have been held with the strik;
leaders, meeting have been addressd ane
speeches listened to, and at midnight
conference is going on at the 1roquoi;
hotel, at which representatives of all In
terests involved are in attendance and
most determined effort is being made tt
bring about a settlement of the difficulty
While there is every indication that Con
ractor Connors is willing to grant con-
cessons to the strikers in the way of ad'
vanced wages and the removal Of the
saloon bosses, the strikers show mos
unyielding spirit.
A meeting was held this afternoon, al
which were present fully two thousand
scoopers. When member of the state
board advanced to the front Of the stage
and addressing the men, asked them ii
they would return to work if all their de-
mands save one-that of the withdrawal OIL
The contract from Mr.. Connors-were con-
ceded, there was a great shout of NO
never; we will not go back to work again
under any contractor"
In the face of this spirit the members
of the state board feel far from encour-
aged and should no agreement be reached
at today's conference the board will cease
its endeavors in that line and order a pub
lie investigation Of the whole matter.
The strike Of all union men employed on
the docks, which was prophecied for noon
today, did not occur.
The situation in the harbor is, if any
thing, worse than last night. So far this
season eighty grain laden boats have
arrived in port. OF this number but
twenty-five have been unloaded, leaving
fifty-five still to be handled, with the pros
pect of further arrivals during the night
The freight boats are also beginning to
come in and there are several now. at the
docks waiting for men to unload them.
The contractors claim to be working
twelve elevators, but while this probably
true. the number of men placed on each
boat is so small that but little progress
is being made. Traffic on the Erie canal
is threatened with almost complete
stoppage as a result Of the strike. Boats
are arriving with freight to be unloaded
and others are waiting here for loads both
OF grain and heavy freight, but men can
not be had 10 do the work.
At 1 o'clock this morning the confer
ence between the different clements was
closed Nothing was accomplished. Mr..
Gould of Cleveland, as counse. for the
Lake Carriers association, made the ar
sument for the vessel owners. He said
that, while the association would see
that the scoopers would receive fair
treatment, it could not and would not
abrogate Mr.. Cononrs' contract.
Representatives o. vessel owners in
Buffalo and Cleveland and others pleadeu
for a settlement of the strike, but Presl-
dent McMahon OF the new scoopers'
union and his associates would consent
to nothing until the contract system was
abolished and the men allowed to deal
directly with the Lake Carriers asso~
citation. Thus the matter stands. What
the next move will be it is impossible
to say.

Report.
ST. PAUL, May 5.-Gen. J. f. Wade,
head of the court of inquiry to investi-
gate the charges of poor food furnished
during the war, resumed his duties as

wished an opinion on the way the public
had received the report of the court he
said that he was not aware that the pub
lie had yet seen or heard what was con-
tanned in the report, not yet made pub
lie and the contents of which are still
secret.

AN UNFORESEEN ACCIDENT
Verdict Of the Coroner's Jury in
the Driscoll Inquest.
USED DUE PRECAUTIONS
Unfortunate Man Was Confident That
the Ground Was Perfectly Safe.
Sounded 1t Thoroughiy-Tes-
timony OF the Witnesses.

Coroner Julien held an inquest yes
terday on the body of Michael ]. Dris-
coll, who died at st. James hospital
Monday evening from the effects of in
juries he sustained in an accident in
the Never Sweat mine on Sunday after
noon.
From the evidence of the witnesses
examined it appeared that Driscoll was
at work Sunday on the sixth floor of
the 1900 level of the Never Sweat and
was working partners with Edward
Colligan. They were putting in a set
of timbers in the stope and had one
post in. While Colligan was bringing
in some tagging Driscoll sounded the
wall and came to the conclusion that
1t was perfectly safe. They went ah Fad
with the work and We're busily engage
when large fall of ground came from
the hanging wall without the slightest
warning.
Driscoll was in stopping position
and was struck by the fall in such a
way as to be pushed aside. The rock
broke through the floor and went down
to the one below, and Driscoll, who WAS
unable to recover himself in time, fell
through the opening. His back was
badly injured and he was picked UP
and sent to the Sisters hospital, where
he fingered until Monday evening.
Shift Boss Daniel Ryan testified that
he talked with Driscoll at the hospital,
and said Driscoll told him he had
sounded the ground thoroughly and felt
50 certain 1t was perfectly safe that
he would have been willing to lie down
and go to sleep under 1t.

vocabulary of the macaroni of the day
is more appropriately applied in a sar-
torial manner For instance, the .our g
blood to be really top-hatty, must have
| a high, turnover collar, the top edges
of which must meet in front. The linen
| must never glisten. He wears a little
bow tie Of unusual color AMI wide far
Ing ends His sack coat is short ard
has fullness around the pottum tfat
makes the coat stand out from his
hips in a cute, effeminate way. His
trousers are very full about his hips
and as he walks the fullness Of the SCAT
is exposed in manner THAI is, I must
say, far from picturesque or ar,is tic,
but nevertheless that peculiar basgy
fullness to the back of his trousers is
real op-hatty. His little Iinky coat is
Enclosed and furnishes a view OF a
short double breasted waistcoat with
buttons in the shape of a triangle The
trousers are naturally long-waistad ard
are gathered in tightly abo e tn Its.
so that when the top-hat~v man is
his waistcoat wrinkles only in one deep
crease about in the region of the da
phragm. The Waistcoat over mis- che st
remains full and rigid, esoe tally full.
Now, this noticeable full-aaa ;.edness CT
the macaronies of the day is rarely nat
ural, but is acquired in So 1eral WAYS,
naturally and unnaturllly. Some II en-
resort to an unusually wide. deep and
heavy shirt front.
Others resort to the new masuculine
stays that may be found at certain of
the advanced haberdashers and some
few resort to method which is termed
inhaling the abdomen or drawing it
upward and thus swelling out The chest
This operation narrows the waist put
expands the chest. 1t requires much
practice to keep the abdomen AMI the
chest in this position. Men ,:,-lined 10
superiority of abdomen find great DIFF
ficulty in acquiring this necess ary
shape, and in cases where Il . girth is
greater than the chest measure he has
to resort to the method of building out
his chest, and thus he ac IL res that

Waited coat and waistcoat goes a small
derby hat, low Of crown and narrC W

hat is the tendency 10 sattia Il little
toward the left eye, lust eH>ngh to keep
it within the realm Of jauntiness.
The accepted gait of the extreme
young man is peculiar combination
of awkwardness and grace. He moves
with his head and shoulders thrust for
ward and with his feet wide apart.
He appears to be on the point of fall
ing forward and endeavors to save him
self at each advancing step, a position
that would be the quintessence of awk-
wardness but for the graceful and easy
swing that is given to the body and
arms OF course, there are few other
finger points in the outfit of the top
hatty man, such as tiny turquoise
clasps to hold down the band of the
tie, jeweled watch chain, gray ga
zelle-skin gloves and buttons with the
owners initials in them"

ARE SHORT ON POSTAGE
Christmas Standards Mailed
Without Enough Stamps.
WILL BE TWO DAYS LATE
The Publishers Have Made the Discrep-
ancy Good and the Papers Win
Be Forwarded at the Ear
lest Moment.

Postmaster George Irwin kindly noti-
fled the Butte office of the Standard
yesterday that about $50 holiday num-
bers of the paper We're lying in the
postoffice and could not be forwarded
because of insufficient postage on them
The poStoffice department has rule
governing the sending of second-class
mail matter, and unless there be suffi-
Gent postage the papers must neces-
sarily remain in the office until such
time as it is necessary to remove them
to the crematory or city dump. There
fore, If a subscriber happens to hear
from home or relatives or friends in the
East that the paper did not arrive, it
might be we'll for him to stop to think
whether or not he put enough postage
on the paper. The department will not
forward a paper and collect postage at
the other end.
In order that the patrons of the
Standard may not lose on the Christ
mas proposition this office paid the
postage on these papers mailed without
the required postage and they will
reach their destination two days late.
1t takes 4 cents to send paper the
size of the holiday Standard. 1t was
surprising to note the number of pa
pers mailed with but 1-cent postage.

CUT THE BILL,
Light and Building Committee Shaves the
Claim of the Silver Bow Plumbing Co.

Light and Building Committee Sl,aves the
Claim of the Silver Bow Plumbing Co.
The light and building committee of
the city council met yesterday to con-
slider and report on the matters re-
ferred to it at the last council meeting.
AS the result of the deliberations Of The
members, report will be made - ne
council, recommending a very consider
able shaving of the bill of the Silver
Bow Plumbing company for extras in
connection with it's contract TO do The
plumbing at the new fire station, at the
corner of Mercury and Arizona streets.
The company's bill is for 1858, and the
committee report will recommend that
the company be allowed $3.50 for an
inside down spout from the roof to
connect with the sewer that the actual
cost of piping used be deducted from
the amount to be paid the general con-
tractor and that the balance Of the
Silver Bow Plumbing company's bill,
S11650, be disallowed.
The committee also decided 10 recon-
mend that arc lights be placed at the
corner of Granite and Montana and at
the corner of Virginia and Jackson
streets. With reference to the petit
tions for lights at the corner of Granite
and Crystal streets and Utah avenue
and Second street, the committee will
ask for further time.
