THEY COST TOO MUCH.
Price of Electric Lights Makes
Demand for City Plant.

"Hilling Subscriber" Sees Danger in
Tendency Of U. q. Company to Jump
Prices = Remarkable AgilityiR That
Respect = Gas BY Meter = Some
Breezy Comments on Local Condi-
tions
To the Editor OF the New DoMINIoN:
Electric lights cost entirely too
much in this town, and we, the
people, for our own good and for the
good Of the town, should have a
plant of our own. and get and give
lights at a reasonable cost. An
Electric Lighting plant is not as
expensive as some people would
have you believe. The business
people of Morgantown who need the
lights, could raise enough money in
days time to install the plant. We
wouldn't want an electric street
railway in connection with our
lighting plant. All we need is light
and then we can walk about the
town.
And this is the time to get the
Electric Light plant. True, natural
gas light is cheaper than electric
light at present, but that is because
the company controlling both in the
city hasn't the power to raise the
price of gas. The U. U. people
showed their disposition and desire
to increase the price of gas little
while ago, by announcing jump in
the price of lights of 66s per cent,
but they found that they couldn't
increase it under their franchise,
and then they locked foolish and
said they wouldn't. A rather big
jump they attempted there. After
one such jump as that, the next
would be easier for them, and who
that knows them, doubts that their
next jump would be higher? They
agile fellows when they are juming
for other peoples money. Their
announcement of the jump which
the council stopped, shows the stuff
that is in them.
Then we learn from the organ of
the U. U Company that the natural
gas will not last long at the rate we
are going. Its getting so scarce
and hard to find that few open
lights ON the streets may put it out.
The said organ argues that we all
ought to burn by meter. The owner
of the organ knows how much the
revenues have been increased by
putting meters on the electric lights
and he would like very much to try
them on the gas. Whenever gas is
burned by meter in Morgantown,
more than half the people will burn
coal. But, if the gas is liable to
fail, and it will fail,i is all the more
important and necessary that the
people have an electric light plant
of their own. Let's have it.

TO ACCEPT REDUCTION.
Sheet Steel Workers Reach
Agreement.

The New Scale Adopted in Pittsbnrg
Saturday calls for 10 Per Ceut De-
crease in Wages and an Increase IN
the Limit of output.
Pittsburg Gazette Sunday Decem-
Der 10:
The convention of delegates Of the
sheet steel mills affiliated with the
Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers closed five
days session last evening by agreeing
to compromise with the members OF
the independent Manufacturers asso-
citation. The men will accept re-
duction of wages of 10 per cent and
the limit of production is increased
from 1876 TO $50 pairs day.
The convention was called by Presi
dent Theodore j Shaffer at the re-
quest of the independent manufactur-
ers, who asked for a reduction in
wages and an increase in the limit of
output Nearly all OF the delegates
went to the convention determined
not to yield anything, but
after listening carefully to the condi-
lions OF the trade and relizing that
hundreds of men would be put back to
work II they receded the delegates
agreed TO compromise.
rhe manufacturers, after weighing
the delegates reasons for compro-
mise, accepted it. The manufsctur-
ers agreed to reduce the card rate
from 3 TO q cents per pound as the
base Of the scale. The scale is on the
sliding basis, according To the selling
price of the product. Three cents
was the lowest to which the nen could
be reduced, no matte- at what price
the product sold. BY reducing the
rate to q cents the men will stand a
better chance OF obtaining an Increase
of wages when selling prices increase.
The changing of the card rate will
mean the men will get an advance
should the material sell for 10 per
cent over cents per pound TO secure
an increase.
According TO the present scale II any
mill turns out only 100 pairs, the
men are not allowed to make up the
80 pairs. Under the new arrangement
the men will be permitted TO average
$50 pairs a turn. Any day that lac
are turned out the next day the men
are permitted to produce l60 pairs.
The scale calls for bi-weekly aver
age.each day. The companies also
agree TO an examination Of their books
each SO working days 10 order to fis
the rate of wages for the next go days.
The new scale applies only 10 the ton
mage men. The day workers will gel
the same wages as heretofore.
The delegates to the convention, &C
cording to the constitution, could not
enter into an agreement arranging fol
this change, but they agreed TO com
mend it to the lodges. The lodges be
fore have always relied upon the judg'
meut Of their appointed committees
and will undoubtedly sanction The
new arran cement.

Building Material, Contractors Re-
presenting 20 Cities will Form Plan
to Make Sympathetic waikouis OBJ
soiete-Wiil Keep Strikers and Lock
edout Men Idle until They Come to
Terms.
CHICAGO, Dec. l4-Bailding con
tractors and manufacturers OF build
ing materials from 20 cities met
here today behind closed doors, and
took the first definite step toward
the formation OF powerful organi-
cation 10 deal with labor difficulties.
The purpose If the alliance is to eff
feet peace between contractors and
labor unions whenever possible; to
establish black list by which
strikers or locked out workers in
any city will not be employed by the
members of the association in other
cities; plan for the Importation OF
men from other cities TO fill strikers
places, and effect the complete aboli-
tion Of systematic strikes.
T. d. Hamilton, president of the
Pittsburg Builder, Exchange, is
one of the leading spirits in the
movement, which everybody present
at the convention believes will result
in solving knotty questions, and af
ford the contractors a more reasona-
BILE certainty in their operations.
The a9s anization, il planned right
seid he, would make 1T impossible
for strikers or lockedout men to
leave one point and secure work
elsewhere; that Is, by notifying EN-
ployers throughout the land not TO
engage them. We should have a
national agreement forbidding sym.
pathetic action among trades organ
iZations. Union men as well as non
union men could he sent from out
side points to fill the places of the
men who may be out.
Archibald Coulter, president of
the Cincinnati Builders d Traders
Association, SAID. 1T is not true
that building contractors intend 3
combination, or pool to control
prices of materials and to discrimi-
nate against union workers and in
dependent contractors. We do not
propose that it shall be necessary
for chicago contractor to consult
the Cincinnati branch of this organ
ization before accepting contract
in Cincinnati"
Benjamin D. Traitel, governor
OF the New York Building Employ
ers' Association, said: I'VE don't
mind wages or hours as they now
exist in New York, but we want
workers to deal fairly with us. The
trouble is, the unions are IN she
hands of socialistic and anarchistic
leaders, who ARE pushing the men
into fights with employers. What
we want to do is to teach them that
if they do fair days work they
will get fair days pay.
1t is intlmated that the conference
will adopt resolutions condemming
Ray .Stannard Baker for attacking
contractors in connection with his
story of the Sam Parks grating.
The association will be organized
fully tomorrow, and definite action
taken on many of the most important
matters Details OF some of the plans
will be worked out later 1t Is hoped
that every contractor OF prominence
in the country will come int the or
ganization.

FORTNIGHYLY CLUB
Entertained by Bachelor Mem
bers Friday Evening.

George Meredith the Subject of Papers
by Mrs. Hirsehman and Prof. Jones
Difference OF Opinion Ia Regard TO
the Merit OF His Works-soIos by
Rev. TisdaIl.
The Fortnightly Club met at the
home Of Prof. Henry S. Greene Friday
evening, although the hosts were two
bachelor members, Professor Cox and
Professor Callahan, whose efforts in
entertaining were eminently success
ful.
Prof. G. r. Jones of the University
school OF Engineering, read bright
paper on George Meredith as novel;
ist. He treated the subject with
candor, criticising Meredith from The
standpoint Of one who has studied
his works but does not consider him a
pleasing or edifying writer. Mrs.
Hirschman followed with a discussion
of Meredith's social views, touching
several OF the points mentioned by
Mr.. Jones; but with such difference
Of opinion that the two papers really
formed joint debate on the readable
ness OF George Meredith.
This delightful program was closed
with two enjoyable vocal solos by
Rev. j. j. Tisdall, of the Christian
church. The second, an old English
marching melody, a song Of the sing
er's native land, was received with
special appreciation.
Generous refreshments and an in
formal social hour concluded the last
session Of the Fortnightly Club for
1903.

FIGHTS ON THE AVENUE.
There Was Blood ON the Beechurst
Neon.

There was trouble on the avenue
Saturday evening. The exact nature
of the squabble can not he learned
Policemen Garrison, Fleming and
Yoke were called to the scene, but
there was nothing doing when they
arrived. They did not learn just what
started the rumpus that attracted a
big crowd to the streeJ lie front of
August Leistman's pool An
argument of some kind between union
and non-union men grew to the pro-
portions of fight, and there was talk
Of guns and gun play, but. no blood
was shed. For short time, it look
ed like the peace and dignity of the
state would be nightly offended.
None Of the names of the participants
could be learned.
A second scrap took place at the
corner of Front street and Beechurst
Avenue about the same time. Clubs,
brick-bats and stones were used freely,
and two of the combatants narrowly
escaped being run into by the street
car. No arrests were made.

ARROW HEADS
Found In Fire Clay-Bel0w Seams Of
Coal.

The Coal Trade Journal republishes
from a Cherokee, Missouri, paper the
following story, with the comment
that the reader can believe 1t If he
wants to:
1.-THE miners found imbedded in the
fire clay below the second seam of
coal, at a depth OF fifty feet below the
surface, a box made in rude manner
of bark, about six inches long and
four inches wide. The box was solidly
imbedded in fire clay and was fossil
lied, but the bark could be plainly
seen on the inside. When it was brok-
en- open three arrow heads crudely
made of flint rock were found in il.
Two OF the arrow heads were unfinish-
ed but the third was completed. The
fossilized box was located in the fire
clay below two seams Of coal, which
had not been disturbed, and had ap.
parently been laying there for ages, oil
before the carboniferous period"
Since the story comes from Mis-
souri,, most people will want to see the
box, the arrow heads, and the hole ir
the Clay before they believe it,

clearly established that the South
Dakota residence was solely for the
purpose Of securing the severance Of

divorced husband returned to lows
and resumed his business there the
day after the issue OF the divorce

Judge held that the Dakota residence
was established with intent to de

out any intention on the part of thu
