NATIONAL OFFICERS TO
DECIDE WAGE TROUBLE
indianapolis Foundrymen and
Molders Fail to Reach Settle
ment at Second Conference.
ASK LAST YEARS SCALE

After a second unsuccessful conference be-
tween representative of the local iron
molders and Representatives Of nine Indian
apolis foundries affiliated with the National
Foundrymens' Association, the question of
the wage scale TO be accepted by the EN-
ployers and employees for the ensuing year
has been referred TO the international Off
GERS OF the two organizations. The execu-
tive officers will be notified at once and
viii come to Indianapolis TO adjust the diff
ferences probably within a week or two.
The point at issue in the settlement of
yearly wage scale between tire molders and
their employers is a reduction in the scale
which prevailed last year. The demands OF
the molders is for the same wage schedule
under which they worked last year. The
employers, however, have requested re-
duction on the grounds that their business
IS suffering from a depression.
They submitted a schedule in which they
desire TO reduce the wages OF jOurneymen
floor mOlders from 30 cents TO % cents an
hour; the tOurneymen bench mOderS from
2Sik cents to 2G15 cents an hour; the core
dealers from % cents to 221z cents an hour,
ten hours to constitute a days work. They
further ask that 40 per cent. Of the total
number Of holders be employed as handy
men" at a 10 cent. lower wage than the
reduced schedule
The decision Of the executive officers in
the matter will be accepted by both parties.
In case the officers cannot reach a settle
ment, a strike will follow.

Moore, chief of the United States Weather
Bureau, was heard to-day by the House
committee on agriculture, regarding the es-
Inmates for appropriations for the Weather

Of $4,000 for salaries. Half of this amount
is to be used to eight proposed new
weather bureau stations. and half for labor
in printing and distributing a greater num-
Der Of weather maps. The present daily
distribution of maps is 10000 With the
added appropriation this number would be
increased four-fold. Under general ex-
penses an increase of s135,000 is asked. OF
this $4,000 is to be used for plants and
materials for weather maps.
Prof. Moore, in answer to a question,
said there was but II per cent. of error in
the weather forecasts, and he added there
would be no Improvement in this service,
which he regarded as good, until additional
scientific knowledge was obtained. OF the
remaining 100000 increase, $4,000 was for
flood forecasts, $4,000 for equipping the
proposed eight new stations and $4,000 for
increased telegraph service. The total esti-
mate for the Weather Bureau srVice

Semple, in New York city, and with the
coming of summer returned to her home
in this city to meet with one of the
warmest receptions ever accorded to
young lady in Lynchburg. With nearly
every day came to the society people of
the city cards to a reception, or tea
party to meet Miss billiard, and her ex-
IRENE popularity as well as the esteem
in which her parents are held by our
people, combined to make her first sum-
mer season one long to be remembered.
Miss billiard is a tall, handsome bru-
nette Of graceful carriage and charming
manners. and is a typical Virginia girl.
Her splendid attractions justly entitle
her to the ovation she has received.
The cotilon of last night was fitting
attention of the young ladys parents
and was one of the most representative
social functions ever given in Lynchburg.
1t was given in the spacious dining room
of the hotel which had been beautifully
decorated for the event with palms and
potted plants. Within this seeming en-
chanted room, to the strains of soft
music, the merry dancers glided through
the mazes of intricate and complex fig
ures whereinAthe beautiful COWS of the
ladies showed to respondent advantage.
OF Miss Watkins ball;
The Carol hotel last night was the
scene of a brilliant occasion, when Mr.,
and Mrs. George p. Watkins formally
introduced to society their daughter Miss
Leila Watkins. The reception was held
in the spacious parlor. which was elab-
orately decorated and fragrant with the
hundreds of roses that were showered
upon the fair debutante. The receiving
party were Mr.. and Mrs George p Wat
oil Watkins. Miss Fannie

Its reasons for being. and it can only
reach its highest as a help in this direc-
ton when our best citizens give 1t the
encouragement that it needs to extend
IN every direction throughout our city.
So much OF our time and money, so many
or our energies are spent in reforming evil
habits, IN correcting crimes, that need
never have existed. 1 do net believe there
Is any cure ALI for the many evils in
life, but there are many forms of alleviat-
ing unfavorable conditions and believe
the kindergarten is one of the strongest
and best that has ever been devised by
man. We do not deny that the kinder
garten is expensive, but courts of justice,
reformatories, jails and penltentiaries are
expensive also, and it Is only question
whether money shall be spent to punish
or to prevent crime.
The interests then, of the kindergarten
are Birmingham's interests, and what
ever she pays to improve the material or
spiritual conditions of the child, she will
be repaid later on in a reduction OF
crime and pauperism, In increased pro-
duction in higher economic and moral
conditions; in fact, in an ennobled cit
izenship
DR.. W. T Harris, commissioner Of edu-
cation, says:
''The highest ideal of a civilization Is
that of a nation which is engaged con-
stantly in elevating lower classes of peo-
pie into participation in all. that Is good
and reasonable, and perpetually increas-
ing at the same time their self-activity
and self-help."
These are his ideals of the Free Kinder
garten which is steadily growing in its
influence throughout this country.
