Are About to Cause More Trouble in
the Jackson Iron and Tin Plate
Mill Matter.

Major Charles D. Elliott, temporary
receiver for the jackson Iron & Tin
Plate Mills, was here from Parkersburg
Sunday on urgent business connected
with the duties Of his office. There had
been a meeting of the creditorslin Par.
kersburg the day before, but they failed
to elect trustee and then it was de.
cided that the books of the company
were needed and ne was directed to have
them in Parkersburg for the adjourned
meeting on Monday The receiver had
also been informed that there was a
movement on 10 remove the steel billets
from the grounds. 1t was understood
that the firm that sold the billets to the
company had not received pay for them
was back of the movement. The action,
it was stated, was based on the grounds
that the billets not having been paid
for, they belonged 10 the original owners.
The receiver, however, contends that
they are in his charge just as all other
things are connected WITH the mills and
at t.cy can not be moved or molested
without an order from the court. He
looked into this matter and took meas.
ures to prevent the elimination OF any
such plan.

are contraband of war. THE mere
for the port of a belligerent does not
make them contraband, and food stuffs,
unless destined for the use of the gov
eminent are not contraband 1t must
be proved that they are for the use of
the army or navy. That is our position
and must always be our position. OF
course, it is true that anything on the
way to a country may be used for war.
But that argument is not sufficient to
make it contraband of war. Think of
the position this country would be in
with its great agricultural territory, if
cause some provisions might find their
way to the army of belligerent.'
This will be the view taken by the
average American who will see no
justice in being forcibly deprived of an
excellent market in order to assist
Russia in her aggression upon the east
Asia coast, which under her domina-
ton would be as effectually closed TO
American products by blookading trade
restrictions as by blockadng squad
ron. There is no occasion for lingo
outbreak Of talk of reprisal but the
matter of contraband should be settled
quietly but not the less firmly anu
without detriment to American trade.
