East Liverpool. April 1S.-Great
anxiety is being felt over the trouble
between the manufacturers and pot
ters. The men sent petition to the
manufacturers asking for a conference
with the National organization in re.
gard to some changes to be made in
the uniform scale. The manufacturers
as a national body refuse to deal with
the men. They say that the uniform
scale has not been put in force in the
east, and they have no authority to do
so here. The Western Manufacturers
association, which is a branch of the
National organization, is making an ef-
fort to have a conference with the men
in regard to the uniform scale. The
operators sent in the petition asking
fora conference and anumber of changes
they wanted. The manufacturers
have sent an answer to the men and re-
fuse to grant the conference. Tho
Western organization, however, says 1t
will confer with the men at any tina
they designate. The men in their
petition had given the manufacturers
until April IL, to answer it, and hal
taken steps, as to what action they
would take in the matter If the re,
quest had been refused. The Brother
hood officials sent in. an acknowledge

General Ed. S. Meyer, Of Cleveland,
has declined to become director of law
in Mayor Tom Johnson's cabinet. In
refusing the place General Meyer is
profuse in his thanks for the honor
sought to be conferred. The situation
is now somewhat embarrassing. The
tender was made to General Meyer in
such a way as to leave no doubt that
he was the only lawyer that Johnson
really wanted. hence whoever gets the
place must take it secondhand.

All chappie, dear, and did you hear,
The news that's going round,
The carpet boys have formed a lodge,
The best in all the town.
Where'er you go, where'er you talk,
Uptown or down below,
The cry that greets you in your walk,
Are you Buffalo?
The cost to join is very low,
At least that's what hear;
Iust eleven cents you have to show,
Which Is not so very dear.
Why the odd cent you're asked to pay
No one will ever know
But that gives you the chance to say:
Are you Buffalo?
And so 1t goes from east to west,
In towns both large and small:
Come join our lodge, 1t Is the best,
The boys do loudly bawl;
For 'leven cents III put you in,
And then you won't say mo-"
When you are asked with sudden grin
Are you q Buffalo?

Tom Johnson has appointed saloon
keeper and preacher to places in his
cabinet. The saloon man gets the di-
rectorship of accounts and the preacher
is made director of charities and correc-
tions. Now If the director of accounts
will see that the accounts of the
preacher are such as will keep him
from want and the preacher will work
the correction theory, the cabinet Of
Johnson will go down into history as
having been wonderfully fashioned.

Owing to limited qua ters, oniy the active and associate members and a few invited friends will be expected, a fact re- gretted by the Committee, but made necessary by the emergencies of the situation. The program will consist of instrumental and vocal solos and chor- uses by the Club. Miss Marks will render a violin solo, her first public appearance since her return, and Miss Winter will be the vocal soloist.
 About eight months ago, some of the music loving people of the community, desiring to advance the musical irl- terests of the city, organized the Mont gomery Music Club. From its incipi- ency the Club bounded forward with a rapid stride, till its quarters had to be enlarged. Weekly rehearsals have been regularly held, and at stated in- tervals, musical receptions have been given for the benefit of the associate members. A complimentary concert was given in April, and it was unani- mousIy voted the most important event in tEe development of music in this city. Through the Club the people of Montgomery were given the opportunity of hearing the famous virtuoso, Leo- nora Jackson. an opportunity that would not have been possible save through the instrumentality of such an organization.
 The Club, after the rendition of the program on Wednesday evening, will elect officers for the next year. It's efficacy having been established, 1t is confidently believed that it's usefulness will even be extended during the next season.
 A full program of the Wednesday evening entertainment will be given on Tuesday morning.
