Learned a Little Themselves.

An interesting case Of tit for tat
has developed at Chicago. Three
ministers of the gospel who acted as
arbitrators in the recent stock yard
strike presented bill for their ser.
vices to the amount Of 81 900 each.
Shouts Of disapproval met the read
ing Of the bin when it was presented
at meeting Of the workmen's union.
and after due deliberation it was de-
clared that the arbitrat0rs should be
paid 27l cents per hour, the rate Of
wages fixed by them for the strikers.
As they held sessions for twelve days,
four hours each day, their remunera-
ton on this bases footed up $l4. 40
each. And the reverend gentlemen
were told they could take that or
nothing.

who had been taken by the police. He
said that he could not identify any of
them as his assailants.
Although the police inspectors picked
out several from the prisoners whom
they know to be thieves, they found
could charge with a specific crime.
Chief Watts. however, decided that the
SO captives would be arraigned in the
municipal court on charges of vag-
rancy and that if they were discharged
they would be met outside the court
room by his officers to be "railroaded"
out of town, as he expressed it.
Chief Watts stated during the day
that he would send Inspector Burke
and Waterman Donovan to Spring.

THE ICE FIELDS
Are in Good Shape and Growing
Operations Will Soon Begin.

The rain of Sunday had no damaging
effect on the ice fields on the Kennebec,
as it took off only an inch and a half.
The ice now runs in places as thick as
~ inches, and a few nights OF zero
weather would put the fields into bet
ter shape. 1t is not yet known, OF
course. when the ice operations will
begin, but it is probable that as soon
as the fields are in condition the scrap
ing and planning will commence. 1t is
learned that some 100000 tons of ice
will be housed on the Kennebcc, this
winter. and this is assured notwth-
standing the condition of the ice crop
in other prominent localities. If the
season is particularly favorable on this
river the American Ice Co. will con-
tinue the cutting operations and house
a good deal more than the above men,
toned amount.
