town.
WHEELING, Aug. 6-The confer
ence at Atlantic City between the
manufacturers and the wage commit
tee of the A f. G. w. u. has ad-
journed without any agreement being
reached in the controversy The
propositions OF the men have been
rejected by the manufacturers, and
theirs in turn have been turned down
by the men. This, it was thought
would lead to contest, which would
result in suspension of some of the
factories for an indefinite time. Some
of them just started last week. At
the Morgantown, w. Va. plant it
was reported that the men refused to
remain at work longer than the time
required to work out the glass then in
the pots.
The Commoner says there will be
no immediate contest until the mat
ter has been submitted to the trades,
to be voted upon, which will require
about four weeks.
Another hitch is expected when the
chimney conference is held, for which
no conference has yet been arranged.
It is probable a conference between
this department and the manufaetnr-
els will be arranged this week.
The effort to cripple the United
States Glass company, as predicted
recently, has already commenced
as several punch tumbler shops have
already been transferred from factory
A, of Pittsburg to Morgantown. The
Commoner says that if the above
three issues are still held up in the
fall thinga will be lively in flint glass
circles.
After the conference at Atlantic
City, the officers of the National
Glass company, who were in attend
ance, wired their managers to fill in
the pots and start Monday. Only a
few factories had started last Monday,
when the regular shutdown expired
Among these were the Duncan & Mill
er Glass company, Washington, Pa. !;
Fostoria Glass company, Moundsville,
w Va; Central Glass company,
Wheeling, W. Va; Morgantown
Glass company and Seneca Glass COM
pany, Morgantown, w. Va, and the
Huntington, w. Va, Tumbler COM
pany. The principal cause for trouble
is said to be in the punch tumbler de-
partment, where request for per
cent increase and the adjustment OF
Sunday night work is asked by the
workers, as decided upon by the late
convention. The mold makers demand
10 per cent increase in wages and a
half holiday saturday. The matter
will go to the trade for final tacion.

men returning to work under the
terms offered by the company, but
the company is not in the notion

long the tie up will last.
Frank Bannister when seen this az

heard nothing OF the action of the

In the murder of Bella f. Brown,
wealthy diamond merchant of Roches-

rounds it make such a story as Wilkie
Collins would have delighted to tell
The old man was found dead, seated
and bound in a chair, facing the door
of his safe, with his head shockingly
crushed. The prevailing theory is
that robbers attempted to force him
to open the safe and that he either re-
fused, because he thought they would
kill him whether or not he opened it,

George Washington Morrow, state SUI
perintendent of the Anti-Saloou
League, is laying plans to capture the
Republican nomination for sheriff of
Chittenden county, The Messenger
says Some people in Burlington even

will he have the support of the regu-

nomination, but it is claimed that a
whole lot of Republicans who are
heartily sick of the non-enforcement
of the law by the present officials,
stand ready to give aid and comfort to
Morrow in his effort to enforce the
law, as by such a movement they feel
that they are assured of its repeal at
no distant day.

ing that the Daily Tribune is one of the
great and complete newspapers of the

ern information on comprehensive lines
of its own. Some hundreds Of the readers
of The Phoenix know that the Tri-Week-
ly Tribune is a successful attempt to
summarize briefly but clearly all the news
of daily paper. We know of no other
paper which well meets the require
ment of brevity and low price. The new

real demand of the farmers of the
