WHOLE STEEL BELT
AWAITING SATURDAY
Then it Will be Seen How Many Obey the
Strike Order.
MEN ARE STILL VERY ENTHUSIASTIC

Fedration Of Labor cannot order an
affiliated trade union to strike.
Article 10, section /, Of the constitution
says: The executive council shall have
power to declare levy Of one cent per
week on all affiliated unions for period
not exceeding ten weeks in any one year
to assist in the support Of an affiliated
organization engaged in protracted
strike or lockout"
The membership is about 1,500O.0O0 and
$l50.0O0 is the maximum amount that
could be raised in any one year. In order
to help the machinists in the nine-hour
strike which began May 20, half Of this
amount has been ordered raised, which
would leave at the most $4,000, for the
American Federation of Labor to raise.
Mr.. Hays said that in nine eases out OF
ten a request from the American Fedora
| tion Of labor to affiliated unions to go on
n sympathetic strike would be granted.
| Mr.. Hays is authority for the statement
that Mr.. Gompcrs left today for Wash

proceed to Pittsburg to meet and confer
with President Shaffer of the Amalgn

CITIZENS
AGITATED
General Opposition to. the Use
of Gas
FOR LIGHTING THE CITY
Opinion Expressed That the Street
and Sewer Department Should
Reconsider Its Action
About Gas Contracts.
FOR LIGHTING THE CITY

The figures presented by The Sun yes
terday morning comparing the cost Of
lighting by gas and electricity surprised
great many people. They occasioned
much talk on Market street and the
universal opinion was that the action Of
the Street and Sewer Department in
awarding the contract to the Welsbach
Company should be reconsidered
''To give the contract to the gas COM
pany would be robbing the city" said
one man last evening. Another said he
could not understand why so much more
money should be paid to the gas COM
pany than is paid to the electric company.
The latter has reduced the price of all
lights and is now Offering to light the
city for much less than a majority of
the cities in the country are lighted.
On the other hand the Welsbnch Com
pany and the Wilmington Coal Gas Com
pany is asking $27 lamp, almost doubl"
the amount asked for an incandescent
light OF course the Wilmington Coal
Gas Company does not appear in the
transaction but it is largely interested
hecause it will furnish the gas.
| Another merchant said: AT this time
when the city is short of money every
department should exercise as mucl
economy as possible in spending the city,
money. The best and cheapest of every
thing should be bought. Experience ha'
lproyen electricity to be the best fol
street lighting. In this case it is alsC
the cheapest. The people who have

SHERIFF'S
LARGE BILL
McDaniel's Charges for First
Quarter Beats Record
WHAT OTHERS RECEIVED
This Bill Half as Large as FOrmer
Sheriff Finn Received for One
Year---Plan Would Bank
rupt County.
WHAT OTHERS RECEIVED

Compared with the allowances made to
former shcriffs of New Castle county Tor
the board OF prisoners tine bill of Sheriff
Mcdaniel for the quarter ending March
81 is enormous. The sheriff's bill Of
81, ,17S4O, of which $4,S10.20 is for the
board of prisoners, is nearly twice the
amount of the allowances for cores
ponding period which We're made to his
predecessors in recent years.
The general opinion seems to be that
were the sheriff to serve the full term
to which he was elected, and each quar-
ter to present bills equal in amount To
his first one, he would do good deal
toward hankrupting the county. But the
people are congratulating themselves that
such thing is not possible as the sher-
if will soon have to give place to the
warden of the workhouse into whose
charge he is required by law to deliver
the county prisoners when the new
|penitentiary is completed.
This will not he, however, until th'
middle Of next month and probably later
l,y this time, if the sheriff continues u
charge lp against the county as largel!
~ he has done he will have two more
enormous bills for the Levy Court t.
consider; one for the quarter endns
June 30 and the other for the intervenin,
! time until he has to turn over the pris
nners to the care Of Warden Meserye o
the workhouse.
| If his bills for this time are anythin.
near equal in amount to the one nov
hefore the Levy Court, and they are al
lowed, he will have received at leas
IS. 900, and probably $1,000 more for TIL
inine months of his service as sherii
than did either Sheriff Finn or Sheril
Taylor for one year of their terms.
4 comparison of the reports of tn
county auditors for 1899 and 1900 wi
show this statement to be correct. Sheril
lMcDaniel's bill for the first quarter y
his term is $7,17S.4O.
The county auditors report in 1S9
shows that the allowances made I
Sheriff Finn in 1898 We're as follows
,First quarter. $4,34O.6O; second quarter
SO, ,367 80: third quarter, $3,637.20; las
l1uartcr. $3.193.G0; total for the yea
ls14.549.2o.
The auditors report in 1900 shows til
following allowances made to Sheri
Taylor in 1885, First quarter, $4.239.6'
second quarter. $3,472.60; third quartz
S4.64S; last quarter, $4,09S.sO; total for ii
year, $16,454.
Thus il will he readily seen that IL
short time of Sheriff McDaniers admit
|istration will be, at any rate, an expel
sivc period for the taxpayers of Il
! county.
