Smashing Unnecessary.

The committee appointed by the mass
meeting at the Auditorium seems salts
fed that the joints are closed and that
nothing need be done by the committee
at present.
The jointists were given until noon to-
day to remove their bars and close their
request but not all have shipped their
bars out OF town, but have stored them.
Fl. r. Hilton,a member of the committee,

We will meet this afternoon and talk
the matter over but 1 do not look for
anything to be done today I imagine
that the jointists think that this will
blow over soon.''
