Telephone Lines OF Ever
ett-M oore Company.

Cleveland, Feb. 26.-The latest plan
of the bankers committee to solve the
problem of the telephone securities
which formed part of the property
of the Everett-Noore syndicate which
was turned over to them, Is to sell
outright rather than attempt the COL
lateral bond issue which was contem-
plated and negotiations for which are
still pending.
The former plan is not a tentative
one, and should the stockholders agree
to the terms and conditions laid down
by the bankers committee, the. sale
of the property will probably follow
shortly, as negotiations are. already In
progress and offers received which are
regarded most favorable by the bank.

F. II. Goff, who as the head of the
subcommittee of the bankers, has
charge of the telephone end Of the
situation, said last evening:
"The present plan takes precedence
of the collateral bond plan and will,
II consummated, render that unneces-
sary. The committee is not losing
sight, however, Of that plan, and 1t will
he pushed forward IL the sale of the
properties should be abandoned.
Nothing, however. will be done along
this line until It is definitely deter
mined that the properties will not be
sold, as that plan is considered best
Henry Everett will not oppose the
sale of the lines. He said:
"The plan to sell the properties
meets with my approval and was made
after consulting with me. have also
been kept informed Of the offers made
to the committee for the telephone
properties and the plan was formed
upon the basis of these offers"

MANY RECRUITS
Claimed by Shaffer for
AmaIuamated,

Youngstown, o., Feb. 26.-Recruits
to the ranks of the Amalgamated as
sociation to the number of between
1000 and 10000 will be had within
the next few weeks, according to the
statements made by President Theo-
dore s. Shaffer. los, -N+ tr
Mr.. Shaffer arrived in the city this
morning Immediately after the trou-
BILE between the puddlers and the Re
public Iron and Steel company as
sumed form.
In discussing the affairs of the as
sociation Mr.. ShaAer- haid; I'VE will
increase our membership by thous-
ands within the next few weeks. We
expect to get the snew members from
Scranton, Lebanon,1 Pottstown, Potts
ville-well all through the east. The
total number of the new members will
be from 1000 to 10000.
"The east was organized by the
American Federation of Labor for us,
it seeming better that they should do
the organization at that time. The
Iron and Steel Workers union was
formed with the understanding that
we should get the men whenever we
wanted them. At the last convention
of the federation we served notice that
we wanted the men now. They owed
debt to the federation and as rapidly
as they discharge it they are coming
to us. Within the next few weeks
they will practically all be in, the as
sociation. The reason that we did not
organize them directly wsss that the
conditions were not equal, but as soon
as they corrected these conditions they
were ready to become. q part of the
association.

REYNOLDS on GOOD GOVERNMENT
SAYS THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT CAREFUL
ENOUGH ABOUT LAWS AFTER
THEY ARE PASSED.

James r. Reynolds. Mayor Lows secretary In an
address last evening before the Mems League, in
the Spring Street Presbyterian Church, on The
Price OF Good Government" declared that good
government could not be achieved by spasmodic
activity II would not he achieved until the best
elements felt it something In which they
should be engaged every day Of tho year. Where
the city had gone astray had been when the honest
clements had gone asleep and left the dishonest
clements to work out their purposes.
Mr. Reynolds thought the municipal situation for
the last twenty-five and fifty years was not to be
charged against any party much as against those
who have talked Of honest government, but have
not realized that they have got to work for It,
There could not he honest government until there
was the same untiring activity on the part of
those who go into politics from disinterested mo-
tives that there is the part of those who into
politics from interested motives.
1T seems easier sometimes to secure interest in
the passage of laws than in their enforcement" he
said. 4 have laws passed in which great IN
terest has been shown while the matter was in the
legislature once the law had been passed people
seemed satisfied. The fact that the law existed
seemed TO he all they wanted. Its enforcement was
a subject of secondary interest"
The speaker said that he had heard. at a
public meeting in England. an American charac-
terize the situation in America in these words:
The laws passed to satisfy one-half the pcO-
pie, and left unenforced to satisfy the other half
He said he Endorsed this sentiment.
