OBJECTS TO LEYTZE.

Delegate Meghar Mt Trades As
sembly Causes Small Sensation.
A meeting Of the trades assembly
was held last evening at the Kalamazoo
block. The business last night was of
a purely routine order and rather un-
interesting.
When the call of the unions was
made the name of Charles Leytze was
called as usual to answer for the
Agents union. Mr.. Leytze was not
there, but Delegate Meghar of the
Theatrical Stage Employees union OBJ
jected to Mr.. Leytze as delegate. He
said that Mr.. Leytze, who is now work
ing for the state in the flax department
of the grain inspection department, is
now holding political situation and
is not entitled to represent his union
any longer as a delegate. After some
discussion, which was mostly favorable
to Mr.. Leytze, President McMurchy
ruled that delegate was entitled to
represent his union as long as the un-
10 is in good standing or until his sue
cessor is appointed.
The delegates were requested to re-
port back to their unions a reminder
that they should not patronize Swift
& Co.'s meat products as they are on
the unfair list.

The production of raw iron in Ger

is interesting the industrial centers of
the world. The figures for 1898 furnish
an instructive array of facts. Eng
land, that formerly led both the other
countries, is now far behind the Uni
ted States and is, having all she can
do to hold her own against Germany.
American methods are so highly devel-
oped as to put the iron industry here
in position to compete with Eng
land and Germany not only in inter-
national markets, but in London and

PULLMAN AND WAGNER.

Organization Simply II Merger UndeE
the Pullman Charter.
NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-In view of
conflicting statements and various con-
clusions as to the primacy of either
company in the recent Pullman-Wag-
ner merger, the Associated Press state
ments show the exact conditions which
are as follows: Neither the Pullman
company has absorbed the Wagner, nor
the Wagner company has absorbed the
Pullman. The two companies have
simply amalgamated retaining the
Pullman organiza ton, however, in
preference to the Wagner as the Pull
man is stock company and the Wag-
ner merely a business association with
no charter. The Wagner company has
four directors in the new Pullman
company and although the new COM
pany may have the name of Pullman,
it is equally as much Wagner as Pull
man and will operate on all the Van
derbilt lines.
