meters and directors of the concern, was
today remanded for trial by United

two important witnesses against the ac-
cused man were Miss Margaret Hope, a
stenographer and Miss Gertrude Sund-
helm. a bookkeeper, who gave testimony
which the commissioner held to be suf-
ficient to convince him that the defen-
dapt was a party to a Conspiracy to de-
fraud. James Clark, an expert account

lions from Francis as to what DISPOSE

SHED Iron at
Clocks.
The Hated Continuance
Put Out of Commits
sion and Force
Put Out of
Jobs.

In the rolling mill at the Sac
ramento shops there was a clock
to mark the time a workman took
apiece of work and the time he
put it back. There were other
clocks in other shop departments
but the clock in the rolling mill
was hated the most and as it tick
ed up more hate. Some body
SHE'D a piece of iron at it and put
1t out of commission. That made
trouble. Fifty men yer laid off
because it could not be found out
who threw the iron. But the
company says the men were laid
off because the work could be done
by mills in the east. 1t looks as
If the clock had come to stay
where it can be used in large
works. The clock is a feature of
all job printing Offices in large
cities but the printer who always
tries to increase his speed and
whose work is interesting does not
hold the clock in such disfavor as
do other crafts. In time however
he may find the clock a rapacious
monster.
