OHIO GLEANINGS.
CODE BILL NOW A LAW.
Tho Legislature Finishes the Work
for which the Extra Session was

Called.
Columbus, Oct. 22.-The legislature
which was convened in extra ordinary
session on August 25 to enact code
of uniform laws for the government
of Ohio municipalities, practically
completed it's work Tuesday after
noon by accepting the report of the
conference committee and voted to
adjourn sine die at 10 o'clock this
morning. The final vote on the code
was taken late in the afternoon in
both branches, the vote in the senate
being 81 to IL, and in the house 65
to 35.
There was dramatic scene attend
ing the passage of the code in the
senate. No opposition had been an
ticipated from the majority side, but
when the roll was called four repubh-
cans voted with the democrats
against the acceptance of the report
of the conference committee. This
made the vote tie and the report
was rejected. Later the boiling re-
publicans reconsidered their votes,
giving majority for the code.
In the house there was an agree
ment among the republicans not to
speak on the code, but three demo-
cratic members were given time to
state their reasons for voting against
it. Three democrats in the house
voted for the code and one republi-
can against it. The senate concurred
in the house amendments to the bill
repeating the Royer law which linn
tied the jurisdiction of the supreme
court.
The code places the line of de-
markation between cities and villages
at 5000. the population to be deter
mined by federal census. This places
- municipalities in the classification
of cities. '
The elective officers for cities will
be mayor, president of council, MEM

tor, treasurer. solicitor and council
men. All will be elected for terms of
two years, except the auditor, whose
term will be three years. The mayor
Will be subject to removal by the gov
ernor on written charges. The presi-
dent of the council will act as mayor
when that official may be unable to
attend to his duties and will succeed
the mayor in office in event of the
latter's removal. The mayor will
make all appointments, except those
under the board of public service, and
will have veto power.
The board of public service will be
composed of three or five members,
as the council may determine, and
will have charge of all public works.
The board of public safety will be
the contracting board for the fire and
police departments and also will be
the civil service commission. The
board will be bipartisan. composed of
two or four members, appointments
for terms of four years to he made
by the mayor and confirmed by a
two-thirds vote of the council, other
wise the governor will appoint.
Every city will have board of
health of five members, a tax commits
sion of four members. who shall also
be the trustees of the sinking fund
and bipartisan public library board

of Labor day by the labor unions of

that it was a struggle between thou
sands of men on one side and half
a dozen on the other, who really repre-
scented only one man, J. Pierpont Nor
gan. However the strike might end,
Debs declared, it would be success
because of the manner in which it
called attention to the danger of one
man power in the business world.

THE DAY IN OTHER CITIES.
Mitchell Spoke at Philadelphia and
Bryan Was Orator at Lincoln, Neb.


NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Throughout
the land, in every city and town of any
size, there were parades and celebra-
tons of workingmen in honor OF Labor
day. In all of the large cities previous
records were broken both in the num-
bers and of the orderliness of the pa
raiders.
In this city the parade was the most
successful outpouring of laboring men
witnessed since the first public display
in 1882.
The column swept down Fifth ave-
nue. to the music of a score or more of
bands and the waving of thousands of
banners and flags. It moved through
solid lines of men, women and chill
dren, who cheered the paraders and
the floats with the utmost enthusiasm.
It had been planned to make the La
Dor day parade this year the largest
and most pretenfiotis that has yet been
seen in this city. The various unions
were urged to turn out and make a
good showing. While the parade was
composed almost entirely of the build
ing trades, it was estimated that there
were nearly $4,000 men in line.
The parade was reviewed at Fifth
avenue and Twenty-ffth street, where
a reviewing stand had been erected.
Here Borough President Cantor, Act
ing Mayor Fornes and other city Off
Gals formally reviewed the men.

lowing We're in line: Brewers, Sacred
Heart drum corps, Bartenders, st
Francis Xavier drum corps, Bakers,
BARRIERS, Butchers, st Joseph drum
corps, Bricklayers, Iron Moulders.
This division was probably the best
appearing division in the line of
march. The bartenders had a most
novel makeup and were the recipients
of many compliments owing to their
fine appearance. They wore white
duck pants, white shirtwaists, white
gloves, no hats and carried white UNI
brellas. They were 20 strong. The
butchers carried several banners with
the following words printed on them:

Musicians ON a Strike.

TOLEDO, o., Sept. 2.The members

was ready to move. The holders I'M

from Wateryille, small village near
here, at it's head As soon as the MEM
bers Of the Musicians union saw this
they gave a signal, and every piece OF
music in the parade except the Water
vile band walked out and marched to
their headquarters. The Waterville
band was summarily discharged, but
the union bands did not go back into
the rada until the march was half
conn leted.

more than 300 local labor unions as
well as all banks and the Stock Ex-
change and board of trade were closed
while organized labor celebrated it's
annual holiday. During the morning
hours a great throng of workingmen
passed in review through the down
town streets
