Illinois Central Employees Not Liable
TO Strike Now-GeneraI News
of Labor.

indianapolis, Ind, May 3.-As the
result of a national conference of win
dow glass interests held here yester-
day it was decided to close down near
~ all factories in the United States
on May IL. and give all employees an
advance in wages of 10 per cent. The
conference was attended by represent
:itives of all the cooperative glass fac
tories in the country, including Presi-
dent Cole, of Lancaster, o., who is at
the head of an Independent cOmbina
ton, and Simon Burns, president of
the l.. y. 300. There were also pres
cnt members of the wage workers
committee and President Chambers, of
the American Window Glass company,
commonly called the trust" The re-
suit of the conference affects 100

creased - per cent.
Condition of the Wage Increase.
President Chambers. of the Ameri-
can Window Glass company, arrived
yesterday afternoon at the Bates
House, where the conference was held,
and WAS at once clOseted with Presi-
dent Burns, Of l.. \. 800, and PreSi-
dent Cole, of the Independent combi-
natlOn- line OBJECT was TO get the CO.
operatives to close down on May IL.
The wage committee decided to de-
mand from the manufacturers an adj
vance over last years scale of II per
cent The presidents of the two glass
combinations were notified of the de
mand. and said the advance would be
allowed provided the co-operatives
would agree to close their factories

announced to the representatives of
The cooperative factories the major

VIII Kick Out of the Traces.
The action of the cO-Operatives how
ever, does not meet with general APP
prOval, and there are indications that
some of the co-Operatiyes will refuse
TO abide by the action of the major

the close of the meeting: "A major

1LLINo1s CENTRAL EMPLOYEES
Will Probably Accept the Company's Con
cessions and Not Strike.


Chicago, May Prospects for a
peaceful settlement of the differences
between the Illinois Central railway
company and the machinists in its
employ were exceedingly bright yes
terday. Business Agent ROderick
practically admitted that there would
he no strike: that most of the con-
ceSSionS made by the company had
been accepted, and that the interna-
tiOnal officers would confer further
with the company regarding other
points in dispute. All the outside
members of the machinists' conference
committee left for their homes last
night.
The chief point to be settled was
the length of the working day,and the
company's assertion that this must re-
main at ten hours will end the argu-
nIent, it is thought The machinists
admit that the average working day is
not even the nine hours they have
asked for. The fact that the COM
pany will recognize the international
officers is considered great victory
for the international Association of
MachinistS.

A century has changed the position.
There is no danger from above now,

The mail collections from the district
boxes are somewhat vague. AS far as
one can judge, mail for Kahuku must
be in before 4:30 a. m. Ii is collected
up to $50 a. m. But what boxes are
reached after or a. m. is still a
mystery. Letters posted up to II m.
will be collected any time up to D. m.
This is something better than the state
of complete darkness which brooded
over the boxes. AS soon as the cards
arrive from San Francisco, the proper
time will be placed upon each box.

Now it is the yachtsmen who have a
grievance and it certainly seems a seri-
Gus one. Why Ernest Mott-Smith's
written protest was thrown aside by
the judges and not investigated one
fails to see. Mr.. Mott-Smith's letter
was carefully worded so as to express
facts and call for consideration but it
was regarded as so much waste paper.
The yachtsmen are perfectly justified
in making the kick that they are doing
and in forming a regular yachtsman's
organization. The sport is one which
is eminently suited to our waters and
is being INDUCED in more and more by
our young men There is no more gen.
tlemanly or cleaner sport that yacht
racing, but it must be carried on as it
should be and not anything so long
as we win" which is not the motto of
the true sportsman.

BRAwLERS.

The Courts If late have not been Civ
ing an example of dignity to the peo-
pie. Indeed it looks very much as II
the people could give pointers to the
courts. The spectacle of the bailiffs of
two courts brawling at the door of the
Chief Justices private office and en-
tering into free fight, the spectacle Of
a notice put up by one justice being
torn down by another the spectacle Of
a Justice rushing to a door and plant
ing himself before it singing sort of
Come if you dare" like the heroine,
in one of Balfe's operas, was certainly
not edifying nor calculated to enchance
the dignity Of the bench in the minds of
the degraded "hoi polloi," the common
herd which does not belong to the learn
ed profession of the law, and thanks
God it does not, if some of the vagaries
perpetrated in its name are going to be
repeated.
without enquiring very deeply into
the matter it does seem rather a high
handed proceeding to invade a mans
private office, be he chief justice or
chief janitor during his absence and
hand over its use to a body of men,
who, while perfectful trustworthy and
honorable, must themselves feel a de-
licacy about occupying a room full OF
valuable papers and memoranda, be-
sides private and personal notes If
such is to be the rule in the government
offices, it should warn any official who
leaves for his vacation to strip his Of
fee put his papers in the care of the
safe deposit company, store his books
in some warehouse and hand over the
key to the head janitor. Then such
scenes as occurred yesterday could moi
be repeated.
But the fact is such scenes never
should have occurred at all. Judges are
supposed to keep the di~nity of theil
high office. They are forever prating
about it. If they can't keep their dig.
nifty they ought to blush for themselves
The scene of yesterday is not likely tC
be forgotten, and is certainly not to the
credit of any one concerned no matter
who was in the right or who was in the
wrong. If the bar should begin tc
brawI, it will not be a matter of sur
prise after the example set.

Jail waiting for trial. In some acct
dental way his case at last came be-
fore the circuit court and he received
a ten days sentence. But is this not
a commentary upon our system of law?
Given a lawyer and mans case will
be pushed forward, but lawyer means
money, and if a poor devil has only a
ragged shirt and a pair of shabby
trousers, he has nothing to pledge, and
can stay in Jail till the shuttle brings
him before the judge and then every
body is astonished at what has hap
pened.
