THEY ARBITRATE
Employees of Republic Iron and Steel
Company Agree to Accept
Reduction.
TRIUMPH OF PEACE PLAN
Twenty Thousand Men Affected-All
Plants Resume Oper-
ations.

Chicago, Sept. 12.-Victory for EN-
ployers was the outcome of the concil-
iation plan of adjusting wage differ
ences, given it's first great trial in Chi
cago by the Republic Iron and Steel
company and its 10000 skilled union
employees at Ashtabula, Ohio, and else
where.
Both sides accepted the decision, an
nounced yesterday, thus making the
second notable settlement by direct
arbitration within the last year. The
united mine workers last April adjust
I'd their wage differences with their
employers in the same manner and re-
newed their trade agreements.
Wages Reduced to I3 Per Cent.
The members of the Amalgamated
Association of Steel and Iron Workers
employed by the Republic company
were forced 10 submit to a reduction
in wages. The decrease in pay will be
from to 13 per cent.
The award was made after an all
night session at the Sherman house,
following a two days argument by con-
ference committees from the company
and the union. Col. II. l. Marion of
Ironton, Ohio; Benjamin Davis of Bir-
mingham, Ala; and II. w. Heedy of
Youngstown, Ohio, composed the
board
The most skilled workers will suffer
the greatest reduction. The finish
ers." who have been paid $3.50 a ton,
will receive next year only $7.15, or
nearly Is per cent. The boilers" the
least skilled, will be paid $4.9O a ton.
which is two per cent less than the
scale last year.

London, Feb. NO confirmation
has yet been received of the vague ru-
mors current early this morning that
the first serious clash on land between
the Russian and Japanese troops had
occurred near Yalu river and that the
Russians were repulsed with heavy
loss Of twenty five hundred killed and

this afternoon that the report is pre-

Manager English Announces He
Will Build in Henderson.
To Erect Modern House, Backed hy
Paduoah and Henderson Capital
lists, and Manage Both.
THE COST TO BE $40, 600

Manager James E. English, Of tho
Kentucky theater, announces today
that he will this year build a modern
playhouse in Henderson, Ky.
Friday night he expects % leave for
Henderson TO close the deals and pr
pare for beginning work. He already
has the option for the site.
Manager English has for some time
past had under consideration the pro-
ject. Henderson has practically had
no theater since the park theater
burned there a few years ago, and
Manager English has plans for build
ing with a capacity similar to The
Kentucky here but different in design
The site of his theater will be on tho
old theater site. near the court bouse
in Henderson.
The cost Of the structure will be
about $40, 900, and it will be complete
and modern, as our own Kentucky
theater here. Mr.. English's associates
are some of the most prominent capti-
talists in Paducan and Henderson.
whose names he is not yet ready to
give out.
The plans of the theater show that
it will be attractive both outside and
inside. Mr.. English will manage both
theaters and will book all attractions
for both playhouses, which will en-
able him to get still better attractions
than the high class shows he has se-
cured since he has been managing
The Kentucky.
He expects to have work started in
early spring and to have the house
ready to open November 1. He will
doubtless be able to give out some
thing more definite when he returns
from Henderson the latter part of the
week.

ported that the Russian advance or

loss of over 1900 men.
The emperor has ordered an inqui
~ into the Port Arthur affair. Many
dismissals and degredations will re-
suit. viceroy Alexieff is looked upon
as a disappointment.
All possible artillerists are being
dispatched to the front. They show
their disappointment, being notified
they will be used for defending the
railroad.
For many unexpected reasons the
transport of troops to the front is much
slower than was expected, the antici
pated average of 1000 per diem hav
ing fallen to 5000. 1t is thus antio
ipated that, so far as Russia is con.

Facts of Interest to Confederate and Union

Pine Crest Villa, Maitland, Fla, June

ka, Fla. 1t should be Patton" in
honor of Mai. Gen. J. Patton Anderson
C. S. A. Familiarity known as Patton
Anderson. whose highly esteemed wild
ow resides in Palatka. AS far
back as 1892. one Mathew Bee returned
an inventory of the property of Barn
ard Schenching, deceased, in Colleton
county, South Carolina. Perhaps this
explains where Gen. Barnard Elliott
Bee, c. S. A., got his first name. .
The suicide of Mayor Robert Milli-
gan McLane of Baltimore is another
example of failure TO appreciate and
honor a great name. No newspaper
criticisms could justify such an act.
Robert NJ. McLane of Delaware, whose
distinguished name he bore, graduated
in 1887 with honor at West Point and
was made a lieutenant of Topograph-
zeal Engineers in 1888, but resigned in
1913, and became a lawyer in Balti-
more. He was a member of the Leg
islature, a congressman, minister to
China, envoy extraordinary to Mexico,
minister to France, as well as filed
other high positions, and died in Paris
in 1898, at the advanced age of SO
years. At West Point he was a class
