asked for George Gridey. He repeated the
question several times in a loud voice, but
the man was evidently not present. Gridley

Company.
In speaking of the agreement tonight
President Shaffer said: THE American Tin
plate Company, through Mr.. Leeds, asked
that 1 meet representatives of his company.
This request was complied with Their pur-
pose in calling a conference was to attempt
their plants during the summer months
when the annual scale is formulated. This
means a continuous scale. The committee
was first doubtful of its authority to enter
into an agreement of this kind, regarding IL
10 be the prerogative of the national COM
mittee only. But, inasmuch as rates offered
by the American Tin-plate Company are
those of the present year and generally
satisfactory TO our members, the committee
consented, so that there is now an agree
ment which will prevent the closing of the
mills or plants of the American Tin-plate
Company and renders a strike impossible
The committee also consented, prece-
dent had been established, in arranging a
continuous scale with the Republic Iron
and Steel Company.
THE magnitude of the deal may be real
ized but it is the greatest that has ever
been effected with capital in the history Of
the working people. 1t is agreed that pend
ing negotia tOns the mills shall continue TO
operate and the present rate of wages shall
be paid. The agreement holds good until
July l. l9O3 during which time the present
scale will be paid. If any differences arise,
however, they will be a discussed a a con-
ference. The question of recognizing non
union mills may be subject to discussion at
a conference.
When asked how many mills and men
would be affected by the agreement Mr..
Shaffer said that it included every mill in
the United States and probably 100000 men.
Mr.. Shaffer was asked if the mills would
shut down in the summer for repairs. He
replied there was no intention of suspend
ing operations entirely, but if such was
done the present rate of wages would con-
tinue.
The members Of the visiting committee
will leave the city tomorrow.

the prosecution having closed its case to-
day. An outline of what Lawyer Patricks
attorneys purpose doing follows, though it
is not probable they have made public all
of their intentions The number Of wit
nesses they expect TO call is about thirty.
Attorney House will first formally move
that the Indictment be dismissed. Should
the motion be denied he will proceed with
the formal opening address for the de-
fense. declaring that Patrick was Rice's
friend, not his murderer. 1t is promised
that several eminent doctors will testify
that William NJ. Rice died from natural
cause; that he was dead before Jones put
the chloroform- soaked sponge in a cone
over his face. They viii declare that if a
fatal dose Of chloroform produced the con-
gestion found in Rices lungs il would have
caused equal congestion in the BRAIN liver
and kidneys and throughout the venous
system. IN Rices case the lungs alone
were congested. They will declare that a
sudden inhalation OF chloroforTn. such as
Jones says he caused Rice to take must
have awakened him, no matter how sound
ly he slept.
The defense also promises to produce
witnesses who heard Rice say that he was
tired OF Texas and Texas people and
wanted nothing more to do with them
that the Houston officials were always
raising his taxes; that the people of Texas
would get very little from him for the
w. NJ. Rice Institute, and that he was go
ing to make a new will in accordance with
his feeling. The defense proposed. further
that it will produce witness who saw w.
NJ. Rice sign the SwensOn and Fifth-ave-
nue. Trust Company checks and send them
to Patrick. Dr. Walker Curry, who at
