To Restrain Gates Enterprise.

Certain stockholders of the Ameri-
can Steel and Wire company are much
displeased with the proposed pur-
chase of the fleet of the American
Ship Building company on the great
lakes, chiefly because it is proposed
to issue s., 600, 600 of bonds for the
payment of the same, and that this
would operate to make the preferred
stock of the company a second obliga-
ton and reduce the value of the COM
mon stock to merely a nominal figure.
For this reason a dill has been pre-
pared and an in junction will be asked
today at New York to restrain the
American Steel and Wire company, of
which John w. Gates, finar cial hacker
of the d K. l. & n. w. road, is the
head, and it's board of directors from
purchasing the property of the Amer
lean Ship Building company.

RUMMAGE SALE IS ON
Annual Affair Opens Auspicious-
Iy at Armory Hall This
Afternoon.
Is GIVEN IN A WORTHY CAUSE
Large Room is Packed With an
Endless Variety of Service
able Articles.

The rummage sale opened this
afternoon at Armory hall under
circumstances very fattering to
the ladies in charge. Never was
such a collection of miscellaneous
articles gathered under one roof
in Rock leland before. The town
has been thoroughly canvassed, and
the result has been the donation
of carloads of articles of the most
varied description that would make
the exhibit at the worlds fair look
ike 80 cents.
If one should begin when very
young and devote two minutes to the
inspection of each separate article he
would probably reach his majority
getting through. In short there are
a million different pieces exposed for
sale, for aught any one knows.
So far as possible everything has
been classified into a dozen or more
departments, and exposed to the best
advantage. Among the larger arti-
cles to be sold is piano given by
Totten's music house. Il is warrant
ed to be all sound, but slightly out of
tune.
A large portion OF the things have
simply been outgrown. Under this
head may be classed old clothes, toys
and baby carriages. Others are out
prospered. Dishes and furniture of
other than the most modern style
may be so classed. Many are merely
out of season, such as straw hats,
hammocks and lawn mowers.
Perhaps the largest portion, how
ever, defy classification. There is
the patent dishwasher the dOting hus-
band bought to tighten the wife's
toll. There are two dress suits that
the owners couldn't afford to wear.
Dozens of patented devices are to be
seen.

L. A. 300 UPHOLDS BURNS
ANDERSON UNION VOTES TO START
INDEPENDENT OF FLATTENERs.
Blowers and Gatherers Will Take New
Men Into Their Organization II
Work Is Resumed Saturday.
Iapolis Journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, Aug. @.-Charles Bry-
ant, Of Anderson, the member of the wage
committee Of window glass workers, ex-
planned the situation at length to Anderson
preceptories of l.. A. 300 last night, and
then the workers voted to begin work at
the different factories Saturday night, thus
sustaining President Simon Burns. Com
mitteeman Bryant went to Muncie this
morning to meet the members of the win
dow glass workers associations of that city
to-day. All the window glass houses in
Madison county not members of the indie
pendents will start their plants Saturday.
The hatteners will refuse to lift a piece of
glass, and the result depends entirely upon
the ability of President Burns to supply
men, as he has promised. Both the cutters
and fatteners' associations are strongly in
sympathy with the independent manufac-
turers, and it is quite likely that an agree
ment will be reached between them. Burns
has steadily refused to submit a scale for
the blowers and gatherers to the independ-
ent factories, and individual settlements
with each man in the different factories
that are independent will be the result.
This means that a new organization or
blowers and gatherers will spring from
L. A.. 300.
w. B.. Rosenbaum. of the wage committee
of the Cutters League, has just returned
from a conference at Pittsburg upon the
subject, and the statement is made that
there will be no glass cut till President
Burns is willing TO surrender his sixty
members to the Cutters League. Should
President Burns remain obstinate in this
matter the American Window Glass Com
pany must then look to Burns for cutters,
just as it now looks to him for fatteners.
The entire situation, from whatever stand
point it is viewed, is congested and BODIES
a desperate struggle for mastery within
the largest and closest labor corporation
the country has ever known.

Bishop C.. r. Harris, of Salisbury, N. c.,

was devoted TO ten minute speeches by +.
L. McGhee. of Minneapolis. and Represen-
tative George H. White, of North Carolina,
presenting the work of the legislative
bureau of the council. Mr.. McGhee made
sn eloquent statement of the effort which
has been made 10 induce the Supreme Court
of the United States to recognize and an
nounce the exact status and right OF the
colored race. He cited decisions of that
court in which il had declared the gov
eminent TO possess the power to protect its
citizens and said that an effort is now being
made TO bring the issue squarely before the
IL by saying that the records Of the cases
brought to its attention did not present
the question Of color, as affecting citizen
ship.
Representative White closed with a re-
view of the effort now in progress in Louis
ANA to arrange a test case TO be taken up
10 the Supreme Court. in which the issue
will be so presented that the court cannot
possibly avoid deciding 1t clearly. Mr..
White said this legal battle will cost
money-probably 5000 or more-and he APP
pealed strongly for financial assistance
from all liberty-loving negroes. After adj
1curnment there was a meeting of the
executive committee.

Warming to Postmaster.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 29.-Postmaster
General Emory Smith has issued the fol-
lowing to postmasters and other postal
employees:
1.-The government telegraph rates annu-
ally established by the Postmaster General,
c~onformable to law, are Intended to apply
to government business exclusively, and
no private individual, association. company,
or corporation should in any way be bene-
fitted thereby. 1t having been brought to
the notice of the department that persons
other than officers of the government are
in the habit of not only taking advantage
of the reduced rates on messages of no
public interest, but that the department
is often compelled to pay for such private
service, it is hereby directed that hereafter
whenever it becomes necessary to use the
telegraph wires on any business in the
special interest of any private person or
persons, and in which the government has
no interest, the party for whom the serv-
ice is performed will be required TO make
a deposit with the postmaster covering the
cost of the message at commercial rates,
both ways"
