MEET LINEMEN TO-DAY
CENTRAL UNION AND EMPLOYEES MAY
SETTLE DIFFICULTY.
This Much Ascertained by Labo Com
missioner McCOrmack-BedfOrd
Quarry Strike.

Labor COMMISSIONS Mccormick is hope
full of an early settlement of the difficulties
existing between the striking linemen and
the two telephone companies of the city.
The labor commissioner met the linemen
yesterday afternoon for the purpose of
hearing their side of the rouble. At the
opening of the conference the commissioner
was informed that the -anagem of the
Central Union company had arranged for a
meeting with it's striking employees at 10
o'clock to-day. 1t is the policy of the labor
commission to allow employers and their
men to settle their own differences as far as
possible, and when it was announced that
the Central Union company would meet it's
men Mr.. Mccormack deemed it wise to
await the outcome of this conference be-
fore taking a hand in the matter. He said
last night that it looked as if a settlement
might be the result of the meeting to-day.
The employees of the New Telephone Com
pany informed the commissioner that this
company had declined to meet them. The
striking linemen explained to the labor
commissioner that they are demanding
S2.I5, which, they say, is the price paid by
all the electrical companies of the city who
employ linemen. The telephone companies
have been paying $3.50 a day.
The labor commissioner will not return to
Bedford until he is notified that his serv-
ices are required again. He has an accum-
ulation Of business on his desk, and when
he left Bedford conditions were favorable
toward a settlement. All of the organiza-
tons that were on strike except one have
settled their differences with the operators.
The quarrymen, ~plainermen and sawyers
were all out at one time, but the two for
mer organizations have reached an agree
ment. The sawyers alone stand out now.
Mr.. Mccormack thinks they will adjust
their troubles soon and the quarries will
apolis, ST. Louis, Chicago and New York

"A wrong impression has gone out about
these Bedford strikers remarked the labor
commissioner. 81 have spent a good deal
of time with them lately, and l have never
found a better disposed set of men. They
Bedford, a town of 10000 people. has only
two policemen, one for day work and the
other a night man, is surely an indication
that there is not much 1awlessness in the
locality. A large per cent. of these people
own their own homes"

seems. indeed. a pity to destroy the
symmetry and grace of his noble
day. and is he not investigating the re-
sources and peculiar charms of the sunny
South? The julep joins its fellows.
In the regular order of business it is now
time for the absinthe a~nisette, and again
the stranger is called on to marvel at the
possibilities of human skill and patience.
In the North a person takes absinthe very
much as a child takes paregoric: indeed,
paregoric is preferable, though the taste is
similar. But in New Orleans one begins
to understand how the absinthe habit is
easily acquired. and how the devil, who can
take many pleasing shapes, puts himself
into the pale green liquid which brings an
~ecstatic shutting of the eyes and a blissful
moistening of the throat. Hence 1 was not
surprised when l asked an old inhabitant
the precise absinthe hour to have him re-
ply, ANY old hour"
The native will tell you that the days ex-
periments are not complete without a rou-
fignac. and by this time you are ready for
any reasonable suggestion in the way of
acquired knowledge. But the roufignac is
the first and only distinct disappointment.
1t 1t, seems to be merely an an old-fashioned
sickening syrup. They tell me that some
years ago New Orleans was graced by the
presence of a gentleman Of the name of
Roufgnac. / don't recall who he was or
what he did. but it appears that when he
died he bequeathed to his country the bev-
erage which bears his name, and departed
full Of glory and generation. Personally, /
cannot see that he is entitled to anything
save execration, but possibly 1 am preju-
diced.
After taking a roufignac, in addition to
other troubles, it might be we'll to consult a
reputable physician, but If you will listen
to the advice of a fine old Southern gentle
man to whom I once put the inquiry as to
his opinion of the virtues Of straight whisky,
you will save a doctors fee. "When you
nave taken a little mo- on bod than the law
allows, you will find straight whisky an
excellent thing to sober up on" So here
you have tan expert opinion from an
artist.
How do you feel after you have done New
Orleans from the point of view of what the
society editors call "a ~well-known club

will tell you that you will feel as If you

OLD CREOsOTE FIGHT.
Terre Haute Company Wants Specif-
cations Broadened.

Representatives of wooden block and
creosote companies were before the Board
of Public Works yesterday to urge the
board to broaden the specifications for
wooden block pavements. The Terre
Haute Creosote Company wants to get a
part of the work, and a representative
of the ompan made a bid. H. c. Adams,
of this city. spoke for Mr.. Cooper and
the Terre Haute people n urged the
merits of paving oil manufactured by the
Terre Haute Creosote Company. As soon
as other wooden block men heard that the
Terre Haute agent was before the board
there was a rush to defend their own
makes of oil. The specifications provide
that heavy c~reosote oil of the grade
known as kreodone paving OIL be used.
Mr.. Cooper, in submitting his bid, wants
the board to let down the bars and give his
material a chance. Clarence Kenyon, of
that If the board decided to take '.hand-
me-down" stuff, he was prepared to bid
on a cheaper grade of oil. Some time
was spent by the men before the board
arguing as to the efficiency of their oils.
The bids were as follows:
A. w. Van Hafften, stone curb, block
treated with Class A oil, $500: cement, IS;
same bidder, stone curD, with kreodone In

curb, $5.43; cement curb, $5.31; combined

offered the same prices as with Glass A.
They were submitted to the city engineer,
who will probably a the oil analysed

MORALS AND PATROL BOX
NEW QUESTION UP FOR DISCUSSION
BEFORE SAFETY BOARD.
Nfneteenth-Street Residents Say De-
on Nefghborhoods-City Affairs.

What is the moral effect on a community
OF a police patrol box? That Is the question
the members of the Board of Public Safe
ty pondered long and deeply over at their
meeting yesterday afternoon. Chairman
Keller and Mr.. Schoppenhorst fdgeted- in
their chairs, anxious to catch a car for the
bail game. Mr.. Bryson didn't care for
baseball yesterday and entered fully, COM
prehensively. p~hilosophically and eloquent
ly into a discussion of all phases Of the
question. Chief Coots and Superintendent
an listened to the exposition of the moral
effect of a patrol box with admiration.
The rather unusual matter came up be-
cause of a request made by Nineteenth
street residents to have replaced a patrol
Dox which Superintendent Taffe had de-
cided was not necessary and had ordered
removed. The residents protested and in
formed the board that "the moral effect of
the patrol box on the community had been
such that its presence is absolutely indis-
pensable." The neighborhood i'm question is
not the most orderly one, but the men,
bers of the board could not figure how a
mere box without a policeman could be of
much service in preserving the peace and
amity of a neighborhood. Finally Mr.. Bry-
son solved the question by saying that po-
every hour to send In their reports TO head
quarters; so that once every hour there
are big bluecoats on every street corner
where there is a box. The certain presence
or policemen at egular intervals, short sep
arated In time, is bound, he said. to keep
loafers away and to prevent acts of row.
