ANDERSON, Ind, Aug. 4.-After a great
deal Of wrangling the Cooper Lodge of the
Amalgamated Association has decided to
hold a meeting on Saturday afternoon, to
take another vote on the proposition of the
American Tin Plate Company TO reduce the
wages Of the hot mill men % per cent, in
order to get the big Standard Oil contract.
This will be the third vote on the ques-
ton by the local lodge. The first vote was
unanimously against the proposition; the
second was close, but affirmed the former
decision. and it is believed that the third
vote will favor the reduction. The action
of the Elwood workmen, favoring the cut,
has had much influence on the workmen
here. The Anderson plant is now closed,
but probably will be opened again imne-
diately il the workmen vote f~avorably TO
the reduction.

His Chances Not Brilliant.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
KOKOMO, Ind, Aug. IA statement
given currency that L. ]. Kirkpatrick.
who was nominated for Congress at the
Lebanon convention to-day, would carry
his own county OF Howard is somewhat
amusing. Such talk may "go" in other
parts Of the district, but not~here. Howard
has a nominal Republican majority Of LOCO,
and the most hopeful estimate Of local
Democrats is that he vi. cut this down
from 100 to 200, still leaving him in the
minority by 400 to 1.5O0. Eight years ago,
when Mr.. kirkpatrick was elected judge
of the Tiptos-Howard Circuit, Upton coun-
~ was strongly Democratic. and IL was
Upton county that elected him. He was
renominated and defeated. Upton county
is now Republican, and he will lose the
two counties by at least 1900 at the coming
fall election. There is no detection against
Lands, the Republican nominee, in the
two counties, and the soreness in Hamilton
is overestimated.
