Il Seems There is Dissatisfaction Because
Some Of the Men Are Out Of Work.

The local lestherworkers' union
has called on the president of the
union, Mr.. Balsaeger of St Louis,
who is now in California. TO come to
Paducah and settle the difference be-
tween Mr.. E. Rehkopf and the local
leather-work ers.
1t seems from statements made
that the agreement reached relative
to the scale presented Monday did not
touch on the number Of men the pro-
prietor should employ, and he is not
working full force in the collar shops.
This the men do not like, and have
called on the president Of the national
union to come to the city and settle
the trouble. He will arrive in few
days.
II was thought that when the scale
was signed up no more trouble would
be experienced, but it seems that more
is probable, as men thrown out Of
work are not likely to be satisfied.

wards he was appointed president of
the American college which his Holt

years he remained in Rome admins

was frequently at the Vatican and
was always consulted BY the pope in

In 1868 he was appointed bishop and
was consecrated by Cardinal De Rel

College. In October of the same year
he went to Louisville and assumed
active control of the diocese.

The Rt Rev. Vim. George McClos-
key, Bishop of the Diocese of Ken
lucky, will Sunday celebrate the thir-
ty fourth anniversary of his consecra.
tion at Louisville, and the event will
be mentioned from tine pulpit Of every
Catholic church in Kentucky.
During his long service as Bishop Of
Kentucky Bishop McCloskey has rem
dered services not only to the Catho.
lie church, but to the entire state Of
Kentucky that will be remembered
long after ne has passed away. For
nearly generation he has lived in
Louisville ruling the affairs Of the di.
Geese with wisdom and skill, and by
the piety and sancity of his own life
furnishing an example to both church
men and laity. Today he is well
nigh as vigorous as when he assumed
the care OF the diocese, and he keeps q
perfect grasp on passing events.
Bishop McCloskey was born in New
York state and was educated at Mt
st. Mary's college, in Maryland. II,
was ordained as . priest in 1852 by
Archbishop Hughes in the old cathe.
dral in New York in which he had
been baptized.
In 1889 his name was called TO the
