The most important work Of the
convention is considered to be the
adoption of the so-called continuous
scale plan 1t is really not q con
tinuous scale, but a continuation OF
the present method of annual wage
settlement with some amendments
The most important Of these is the
continuous operation OF the mills
while the scale is being considered
in conference, and the extension 0.
time within which an agreement must
be arrived at. There Is no provision
for the continuance from year to year
of such portions Of the scale as may
be satisfactory to both parties
Neither is there any provision fol
dating back any increase in wages te
an earlier date. No reference lis made
to compulsory arbitration, but con
eiliator' is provided for.
The detailed plan Of annual wage
settlement adopted by the convention
is as follows:
The annual convention will be hell
in April, when the whole scale will BIZ
revised, as usual. The scale will be-
given to the manufacturers on May
Is. The period for conference nego
tiation shall expire June Is. If M
agreement is reached by that date
conciliator shall be called into tn,
conference. He shall decide contest
ed points, but his decisions shall no
be final or binding. Il no agreemen
is reached by July Is, all association
mills are to close. The limit of set
tlement in force now is July 1. a
which time, If no agreement /:
reached, the men walk out. The new
plan extends the period of conference,
from three to eight weeks.

PROvIDENTlAL RAIN.
COOLED AIR AND HELPED MRS
M'kiNLEY.
Asserted at White House That She
Was No Unconstitutional of
Rixey Last Night.

Washington, June 8.-Dr. Rixey,
about 1920 o'clock last night, made
this statement as he left the white
house:
Mrs. Mckinley is now resting COM
fortably. Her condition shows no
change as compared with the situa-
ton announced in this mornings bull
letin.
She has not lost any ground, nor,
on the other hand, has there been any
pereeptible improvement. She is just
the same as when we saw her this
morning.
Dr. Rixey, when asked regarding
the result of the microscopic eXamina-
ton OF the patients blood. said he
had nothing to say on the subject.
and that if anything was given out
it would be after a consultation of
the three physicians. He said there
had been no unfavorable develop
ments during the day. Some appre-
hension has been felt as to the posi-
bic unfavorable effect of the warm
weather, but heavy rain fell Friday
and brought lower temperature, AMI
much satisfaction was expressed at
the white house at the temporary re-
lief. Mrs. Mckinley ordinarily SUI
fers little from the heat of the sum
mer at Washington, but the possible
effect of it at this time, in view of her
low vitality and the necessity for
guarding against anything in the ma
ture of sinking spell or drain upon
her strength, caused some anxiety.
The complaint from which Mrs. Nc
Kinley suffered in San Francisco is
not entirely checked. but it is said
to be under control now Despite
some reports to the contrary, it is
stated emphatieally at the white house
that Mrs. Mckinley has not grown
any worse.
The president saw no callers last
night. At about o'clock yesterday
afternoon he went out anaccompanied
on the customary drive, but returned
very suddenly after being out less
than 20 minutes.
DR.. RiXey said Mrs. McKinley,s abil.
ity to maintain her condition under
the weather conditions in Washing.
ton was in her favor

WHAT 1T MEANS
TO THE RAILWAYS.
The Various Companies Not
Thankful For the Snow.

Now begins the expensive season for
the railroads. Every fall OF SNOW
means the abandonment of everything
else, and devotion to the task Of keep
ing tracks, switches, crossings, etc,
free from snow. The railroads,
whose delivery of nails for the repair
of their tracks this fall, have been
delayed, will be the biggest sufferers
from the snow, for they will have but
little time 10 devote to repair work
as long as the snow is In season.
Hundreds of dollars on each section
and other hundreds, the expenditure
of which win be caused indirectly,
come from each fall of snow, and
the railroad companies, already trou-
bled from the rush of business, and
scarcity Of cars, will now have some
thing else added to help silver their
locks. $3.50
