by Its decision. The delegate moved
that the matter be referred to the arbl-
tration committee OF the assembly
Another delegate explained the sew
feral developments that ended In the
Elm Grove men going out on strike
Saturday morning. It was stated the
men had confidently expected the head
OF their national organization here on
Friday night when the ultimatum to
the company expired; when he did not
appear, the situation was such that the
men could do nothing. but go out on
strike, 1t was either O strike or giving
up the demands that had been made.
The chairman OF the arbitration COM
mittee said the Elm Grove mems union
must understand that they are to give
the f.sselnbly's arbitration committee
full and complete power to settle the
difficulty. even, possibly. at q lower
rate OF wages than ia now demanded.
Another delegate expressed his belief
that the strike would be q short strug-
gle now that the trades assembly is to
take a hand. There should be con.
SENTATIVE conduct OF this strike, so that
u repetition OF, the disastrous strike OF
1893 on the Wheeling Company's line
would not be had now. The strike OF
1888 was ill-advised; this Is a strike Tor
q living wage" At all times the men
must remember to, use only peaceable
methods in the conduct Of their strike;
the assembly would countenance no VIC
1ence of any kind.
The motion placing the strike in the
hands OF the assembly's arbitration
committee was passed with no opposl-
tion. The committee, It was stated.

TheThe arbitration committee OF the
Ohio Valley Trades and Labor Assem-
bly,, TO which was delegated tho hand
ling Of the mems Interests In the strike
on the Wheeling G. Elm Grove railroad,
lost no time In getting at Its work after
the special meeting OF the trades as
sembly last night. The assembly adj
journed at $40 o'clock, and twenty min
utes later Chairman Duffy and his fell
low committeeman were in conference
with General Manager Wright at the
Elm Grove office on Sixteenth street.
Two conferences were held, and oil
though the proceedings are not known
definitely, 1t is known that Mr.. Wright
was unable to look with favor upon the
committees proposition that he grant
the men the wage scale they struck for
twenty cents an hour. He stuck to his
previous offer Of eighteen cents an
hour.
The committee reported back to the
Elm Grove men at hastily called
meeting held at midnight in the trades
assembly hail. At this meeting OF the
men 1t is learned that they made a
counter proposition that the manage
ment pay eighteen cents an hour until
June l, 1899, after which the rate should
advance to twenty cents per hour. This
proposition was placed before Mr..
Wright, but 1t Is said he replied that his
company could not cohcede twenty
cents an hour under present conditions.
Being unable to reach an agreement
last night. it was decided that the Elm
Grove striking operator and conductors
wotld meet this morning at 0 O'clock in
trades assembly hail. at which the arbi-
tration committee undertakes that all
the members OF the local union shall be
present, when 1t Is hoped that the good
offices OF the arbitration committee will
result In an amlcable settlement Of the
existing differences.
The public will learn with satisfaction
OF an amlcable settlement this morning,

THE TRAMP NUISANCE.
The Manner In which IL Is being Dealt
with In France.

80 y" ~
The number OF tramps in France Is
net proportionately 30 large as In this
country, but 1t Is large enough to at
tract the attention of legislators. The
frequency OF crimes recently commit
ted by trampsI showed the necessity OF
pre2aringalaw concerning beggars and
tramps OF mor practical benefit than
the municipal ordinances posted ut the
limits OF every commune or township.
1t imposes severe penalties on profess
sional beggars or tramps who refuse
to work without proper reason. Unlike
the existing laws. the new bill deals
mildly with the tramps and unfor-
tunates who are able and willing to
work. but cannot find any employment.
OF the peace, who Is to send them to
the "house Of labor" which every de-
partment in France Is to be compelled
to open. where they will be occupied
ut some work until employment is
found for them In private workshops.
The trials OF beggars and tramps have
amounted, on an average, to $4,000 n
year. Inquiry regarding the condition
Of the temporary refugees, such. for In
stance, as our warehouses;. showed
that In 1896 they had been visited by
4G6 900 individuals. who had spent n
night there. In 1896 a general order
was sen to all the gendarmie. or po-
lice corps, through France. requiring
agents to make inquiries regarding all
individuals unknown In their own dis
trict who were found on the public
roads. The police were instructed to
ask these individuals to produce doc
uments OF to furnish explanations con-
corning their Identity and profession,
SO that a kind OF statistics and num-
bering could be obtained. or course,
many individuals could not have been
reported by the gendarmerie; neverthe-
less. II was shown that on a single day
In 1895 the names OF $4,000 tramps

Encouraging tho Witness.

The bullying lawyer is unhappily
still to be met with. and his confusion
Is always the signal for rejoicing
among the spectators. A distinguished
colonial Judge recalls how he once
tried a case in the supreme court OF
one OF the British possessions. The
learned barrister who appeared for the
defendant had an unfortunate habit
Of bullying his own witnesses. II
they did not answer him precisely as
he wished he would attack them with,
my dear man, do attend to me-" or
with. III you can't speak up like a man
l must abandon your case" In this
instance the defendant, whose name
was Jonas, was rather obscure In his
answers. Counsel questioned him
more severely, but poor Jonas only
grew more confused. At length the
barrister became exasperated and
shouted: my good man Jonas. do
come out OF that whales belly OF yours
and answer my questions properly
This was too much for the Judge, who
could not restrain his amusement,
while the witness was SO confused that
he refused to answer. and the case wal
lost.
