Refused to be Numbered.

The contractors in charge of the
Improvements to the line of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad, between Elk
ton and Iron Hill, and Elkton and
Bacon Hill, this week adopted the
"number system" for their en-
ployees. Among the workmen are
a large number of Italians, who
have been known by numbers since
the work began. The contractors
decided, in order to make it easier
for time keepers, to keep employees
time, to give all the men at work
numbers. When this became
known among the men, a number
of them became very indignant
because they said it placed them
on the same level with the "Dag-
goes" When the time, keepers
notified the men of the change,
several of them refused to accept
their numbers, and quit work.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D.--Nels Paulson. on
the one hand, and several business men
and prohibitionists on the other, have for
two or three weeks been engaged in an
animated struggle, with the city council
as the storm center. Paulson wishes to
start a saloon. Occupants Of adjacent
business houses and their prohibition allies
sought to prevent bis being granted a.
permit, largely on the ground that to es-
tablish a saloon in tho building, would
be a. violation of the state liquor license
law, which prohibits among other things,
a saloon, being started within a specified
distance Of school. The city council
has decided to issue the permit Those
who have opposed this action threaten to
continue the fight and it would not be sur
