Employers throughout the city of
Chicago feel that the high tide of
wages has been reached. Unionism
cannot force pay higher than it is
now, they say.
"Retrenchments are the order of
the day." declared W. E. Glow, of j..
B. Glow & Sons, treasurer of the
Employers Association. 1.-THE unions
have undone themselves. Before the
winter is YER men wilt be laid off in
every line Of industry"
8. L. Thompson, speaking for the
Association of General Managers of
Railroads centering in Chicago, said
Prosperity for wage earners has
reached its heights. In view of the
attitude of railroad companies, it is
unlikely that any further increases
will be granted. If reductions are
made, it will be in the number of men
employed, and not in the amount of
wages paid. Such action, however,
will follow only a slump in. indus
try"
Secretaries of the Employers Asso-
citation say that the tendency among
business men is to retrench. The
action of the Steel Corporation in re-
ducing production has given the cue
to smaller capitalists, and before next
spring there will be idle men and boys
hard to find, in the opinion of men
who deal with the labor unions.

1t is about time the telegraph COM
panies began to recognize the growth
and importance of Perth Amboy. For
several years the city has been adding
to its already long list of industries,
some of them the largest in the coun-
try. Nearly all OF them have their
New York offices or branches in
different parts of the corntry. Mess
ages are constantly being exchanged,
but the telegraph companies have not
realized the Importance of better
accommodations here. 1t is known
that at least one factory makes a prac-
tice of always calling up New York
on the telephone to send a telegram
from there rather than bother with
the accommodations here. This is
not fair treatment for Perth Amboy
and something should be done to
remedy it. Other cities not nearly as
important as Perth Amboy have SER
vice all day and at least half the
night. A local concern. yesterday,

Annual Election.

The annual city election passed off very quietly last Tuesday and resulted in the election of the entire Citizens ticket. The day was very stormy and consequently very small vote was polled-only 211 votes being cast. A month later this number would have been in- creased fully 100. as a number of voters have not yet returned from the states, and there are number here wlio only lack few davs' time of being residents of the town or district.
 A few days prior to the election a ticket was made up by few per sons and was called the Peoples ticket, and the nominees, with the exception of four names, was the same as the Citizens ticket the names of Jas. Nellie, Al. White and w. <. Amy being substituted for those of Steele, Temple and Bowling for the council, and the name of Rockford for that of Hil- dreth for the school board. None of the candidates on the Citizens ticket did any electioneering at the polls, but an effort was made bv some of the People, ticket nomi- nees to secures an election. but the Citizens ticket easily came out ahead. Nellie and Steele would have tied, but two irregular ballots were thrown out. The following was the vote:

SHOT HIMSELF
W. G. sCHAEFER TAKES TWO
 SHOTS AT HIMSELF
but k Sill Alive.
He May Recover. No Reason Known For The
 Shooting.

Last Sunday evening just as the guests oi the St. Elias hotel were seated for the evening meal the double report of a pistol resounded through the house. In few mo- ments one of the guests came down to the office and reported that the shooting occurred in a room on the second floor. Dr. Tiedeman. who was present, went upstairs and upon opening the door of the room indicated found W. G. Schaefer stretched at full length on the floor. with his head in an open grip and bleeding profuscly from a wound in the right side of the fore head. He found that the right arm was under the body and still grasp ing 3S-calibre revolver. The doctor removed the pistol and get ting help placed the man upon the bed. Later Dr. Tiedeman sent for Dr. Goddard and they made a careful examination of the wound. They removed number of pieces of the skull and raised section that was apt to settle on the brain and cleared away about three ounces of brain matter that had oozed out through the wound. They made no attempt to remove or locate the ball. which is still in the head.
 The wounded man has at no time shown any indication of suf- fering and has never lost conscious ness. Very little hope is enter tained for his recovery, though there is d possible chance.
 Shortly after n" sh" .r.
 being IGss .onto, -.-.. stated that he had no brothers or sisters living, but that he Lad d neice named Charlotte B. Cram, living in Logansport, Ind. Other than this he would give no further information.
 Previous to the shooting the wounded man had been attended by Dr. Tiedeman for a severe cold and pains in the head, and unless it was temporary insanity no cause can be assigned for the act.
 On his person was found bank book on the bank of Valdez showing a good deposit, SO that it could : not have been money troubles.
 For about six years prior to com ing to Alaska, Mir. Schaefer served as head salesman for w. G. Roland, of Tacoma. In 1901 he went to Nome and opened a grocery house in his own name. Not being satis- fled there he sold out and returned to Tacoma and from there came to Valdez, where he has been making arrangements to again enter the grocery business. Up to the time of going to press there is no per ceptible change in his condition; he rests comfortably and occasion ally eats a light meal.

Court News,

The case of the State vs. Isaac Banta, who was indicted by the grand jury for murder in the second degree was to have come up at the present term of court, hut the de- fense asked that it be laid over to next term. in order that they may be able to secure the testimony of three physicians who have treated Mir. Banta in the past for severe wound in the head. The physicians are residents of the states and can not be reached in a hurry so the court granted the stay,
 $. Hamano, a Japanese, charged with killing fellow-workman at the Nushagak cannery last summer, is now O.: trial before Judge Wick ersham., The case will probably be ended today. The following is the jury: c. NJ. Day, Ray Larsen, Lyman Lamb, Tony Barrett. A. B. Gibson, Jas. Black, Chas. Rua. B. F. Mcclellan, R. Coles, J. H. Hous- ton, c. l.. Warner and l.. G. Perry.
 In the case of Pahnburg vs. Stocto and Scott, the plaintiff paid costs and case was dismissed.
 After the Hamano case is dispos- ed of, the suit of the Chittyna Ex- ploration Co. vs. Mcclellan ct al.. will probably be set for trial.
 In the case of Martin vs. Gil lispie, Martin undertook to prove ownership to piece of ground in front of the Whaling Co.'s building, but the evidence showed that the ground in dispute had been used as public highway, and the court instructed the jury that inasmuch as it had been used as such it must remain a public highway, so both parties have evidently lost their case.
 The case of Crawford vs. Burr ct al., set for Feb. 9, will come up in the regular order. Crawford sues to recover a lot on Alaska ave, which he claims to have had undisputed possession of from 1900 until last year.
 On the evening of Feb. 3, both the Santa Ana and the Portland left Seattle-With the Portland in the lead. When two days out the Santa Ana, being the faster of the two, passed the Portland, but the latter was the first to land at Val. dez, owing, probably, to the fact that the Santa Ana was in a posi- tion to pick up some mining ma chinery at Sitka and bring the same to Kayak, where they have proba- ply had some trouble in landing it. She is expected in in day or two.

 Judge Wickersham in d able ad- dress dwelt on the benefits and the social side of the Masonic order.
 Governor Leedy, the president of the club, in a fine after-dinner speech extended hearty welcome to all and the ladies in particular.
 Mir. John Carson, of Salem, Ore gOn, who is a new arrival in Valdez, amused those present very much in short reminescent address on the advantages of social gatherings.
 The whole affair was purely Ma sonic, as none but Masons and their families or lady friends were in- vited.
 During the evening a tempting repast was served from the Mer- chants cafe.
