CASKET men ORGANIZE
MANUFACTURERS JOIN IN NATIONAL
EMPLOYERS ASSOCIATION.
They Want to BE Prepared to Meet
Labor Troubles That Seem I'm
minent-Frefght Rates.

II developed last night that the casket
manufacturers have gathered in Indianap-
oils for something more than an informal
social session. at which incidental business
interests were to be discussed. The manu-
facfurers are face TO face with labor
proposition that Is giving them great con-
Germ. and they propose to form a close or
gan:zation for offensive, defensive and con-
ciliatory relations with the labor unions
that have been formed among their en-
ployes. The first steps toward this organ
tzation were taken last night and IL will
be perfected to-day. Ii will be known as
the National Employers Association Of
casket Manufacturers.
Frederick w. Job. of Chicago. secretary
OF the Chicago Employers Association, and
former chairman OF the Illinois State Board
Qf Arbitration, was here to assist in the
formation or the association. NJ Il. Bin
tore. OF Chicago. was selected temporary
chairman and NJ. Wulpi. of Omaha tenn
porary secretary. Permanent officers will
be chosen to-day. The objects of the asso-
cie.son are, first. the adoption of a uni
form basis for just and equitable dealings
between members and employees whereby
the interests OF both will be properly pro-
tecfed; second. the investigation and ad-
Justment by the proper officers of questions
arising between members and employees
which may be referred TO and come within
third. the promotion OF a clearer under
standing by and between members on SUBJ
1ects pertaining TO labor and other matters
OF common interest
The Chicago casket manufacturers are at
present having some difficulty with their
employees. and IL has become apparent to
the manufacturers in other cities that SOON
er or later they would meet the same situ-
Atom consequently, they felt the need of
an organization that would unite them on
the labor question. There are between
forty-nve and fifty manufacturers present
at the meeting. representing all the States
from Pennsylvania to Nebraska and from
the gulf to the lakes. The manufacturers
here have assurances that all the manu-
facturers In the country will readily join
I'm the new association. The casket makers
do not employ large forces OF men, the
manufacturers here employing from ten to
$50 each. but the number of men qualified
To do the work they require is limited and
fl the event OF a general strike they would
be completely tide up for an indefinite
period. The manufacturers say they are
not organizing 20 fight labor. On the con-
trary. their principal object they say, Is TO
BE IN a position to arbitrate with the
URions.
AT the sessions yesterday forenoon and
afternoon the manufacturers discussed the
question OF freight rates. Freight rates
have been raised by the Southern and Cen
trail Traffic Associations and the manu-
facturers decided TO take firm stand
against further increases, and 10 bring all
possible pressure 10 bear on the traffic as

Leg GaShed While Bathing.

Anton Janni, a boy about eleven
years Of age, sustained a bad cash
upon his right knee while in swimming
in the Minnesota river last Wednes-
day. A few minutes after l o'clock
that afternoon the boy came home with
the blood flowing down his leg and
told his mother that something had
bitten him while he was in the water.
His father, Anton Janni, Sr., works
in the Northwestern coal sheds and
when he saw the condition the boy was
in he caused DR.. :Weiser to be sum-
moned. The physician found that the
cut was four inches in length, penetrat-
ing to the bone, and it was necessary
for him to administer chlOrOfOrm be-
fore sewing up the wound. The boy
was not bitten as he supposed, but cut
himself upon a piece of broken glass
or some other sharp instrument, the
river at that point being made the
dumping place for all sorts of useless
and discarded articles.

HOLD HIM RESPONSIBLE
Benjamin FredriCkson Will Not Re-
cover For Injuries.

extremely unlikely that Benjamin
Fredrickson of Hanska, will be paid
damages for the injuries which he re-
ceived when he fell from Minneapolis
& ST. Louis train in hiscityl astweek.
Wednesday evening B. r. Carmichael,
claim agent for the road, was here in
vestigating the circumstances in con-
nection with the case and it is under
stood he will not recommend a settle
ment.
Railroad officials are of the opini on
that Friedrich jumped from the tr ain
and assert that if such was the case
they are absolved from liability he
alone being responsible forthe accident.
They pointto the fact that his grip was
found some distance from where he
fell, indicating thathe threw the achel
and then jumped after it. The boys by
whom he was found have stated, also,
that he informed them he jumped from
the train, although subsequently, he
averred that he was thrown from the
platform by a sudden jolt of the car.
In view Of these things and also the
fact hatpassengers areWarned to keep
off the platform while a train is in mo-
tion, the railway people ind oubtedly
feel thatthey will be warranted is refns-
ing any demands which Fredrickson
may make upon them

WOULD ABSORB QUARR|ES
Syndicate. Seeks to Control Mime
sofa Lime Output.
c.. A. Stolz and Hy. Winkelmann
Made Offers For KilnS.
Minneapolis Parties Would Oper-
ate Business on Large Scale.

A gigantic plan conceived by a syn
dictate of Minneapolis capitalists to
eventually obtain control of the lime
output of Minnesota, includes the ,pur-
chase of the quarries and kilns at this
place. Overtures have been made to
both G. A. Stolz and Henry Winkel-
mann and the latter has given an
option upon his property. Mr.. Stolz
does not feel disposed to put his quar-
ries on the market and has given the
bidders no encouragement.
For obvious reasons the Flour City
parties have engineered the deal very
quietly and the fact that it was on
leaked out only last week. A. Will
liams of that city, has conducted all
the negotiations thus far and has visi-
ted New Ulm several times. He has
not, however,, ever evinced a DISPOSE
ton to divulge the names of his prin-
cipals but it is known that they are
men of means, styling themselves the
American Lime Syndicate. While Mr..
Williams has not been given to dilat-
ing upon the plans of his associates,
he has intim ated that the local kilns
would be included in chain covering
the Northwest and that they would
operate here upon large scale.
Mr.. Williams attention was first
directed toward New Ulm by an exam
ination of specimens taken from here
by Prof. F. W. Sardesdh, of the geo.
logical department Of the University
of Minnesota. The latter gentleman
made visit on May 3rd to obtain
data as to the rock formation in this
vicinity, his findings to be used by the
United States government in determ-
ming the source of the water supply
in Minnesota. He also desired the
information for an exhaustive work
on geology which he intends publish
ing.
After Mr.. Williams had seen the
stone he came to New Ulm and con-
| GllluOu Gllt ISStdICISo O1 LID "" Ii
! account. 1t has since developed, how
ever, that his interest was due largely
to business acumen, for the specimens
of the lime rock which he carried back
to Minneapolis have evidently brought
the conviction that the quarries can be
worked to a profit. His subsequent
calls have not been made for scientific
purposes and at each he has made pro-
posals to the present owners.
If his company is able to secure po-
session of the property, he has said,
they purpose building three or four
more kilns and would figure on pro-
ducing between 10000 ard $4,000 bar
rels of lime each year. A force of an
hundred or more men would be put to
work to develop and open up the ledge
