TRAVELLING CRANE MAY Be

on account OF tho large amount of
very heavy material that the city will
have 10 handle I'm the next few months
and because OF the trouble that has re-
suited IN the past in handling particu-
lary large pieces of machinery and con-
struction material that arrived by boat

there will be erected a big movable iron
crane at the city yard. As there IL al
ready a spur track into the city yard it

from which the moving tackle will hang
will extend over the track and over the
roadway for a considerable distance as

PEOPLES FORUM HOLD DEBATE.
The meeting OF the Peoples Forum,
yesterday afternoon. was made very
memorable and interesting by the de
bate held, and very large number of the
various crafts were present.
The two leaders IN the forensic bat
tie were Messs. T. r. Kearney and Dr.
John Mclaughlin Mr.. Kearney took
the affirmative OF the question and
presented an interesting array OF argu-
,nents upon the question: Resolved,
That the labor union Is the Best Means
OF Raising the Wages OF the Working
Man"
Mr. Kesrney entered verey thoroughly
into the arguments and the history OF the
case going back 90 the earliest form OF
unions and the good that was done by
them and tracing the movement down TO
the present time.
ingman coo years ago, when by means OF
the plague the population OF Europe was
decirnated and laws were passed enslav-
ing the working man and forcing him
20 work for the merest mcagre pittance,
and driven 20 desperation until they had
20 form IN guilds, and these were the
first semblances OF unions BY this
means the wages were increased and the
conditions Of the workmen made better.
Coming down 70 the present time Mr.
Kearney presented an array OF statistics
showing that there had been nothing but
n betterment OF the conditions and an
increa sing Of wages through the efforts
OF the unions, and that II was almost
wholly by the work or the unions that
there had been any betterment OF con-
diticns.
The opponent offered 20 show that a
taxation Of the land was the best way.
but his arguments were all refuted and
objections raised that forced almost ali
20 believe with the affirmative side OF
the question.
When the two chief speakers had con.
ciuded there was a general discussion OF
the subject participated IN by several
OF those PRESENT.. Among these were DR.
oarvin. Col Liddell. John F. Mccarthy
George r. Brady. Joseph Bicknell aud Mr..
etandish.

The first gun Of about as hitter a

FORMED FAKE UNION.
Where the main union has refused 10
enter into this agreement, the associa-

the original union has formed a sort Of
non-union union which the regular union
does not recognize
''Nir. Rodgers the builder, VINO has this

is one Of the unions which refused 10
sign the Builders association agreement
The association has, therefore. I'm the

This particular fake union was made
up of pretty poor workmen; so. Mr.

the regular union pasterers refused 10
work with the fake union tile layers and
men OF every other trade employed on

signed the builders agreement.
In other words everyone Of these

it impossible to do so himself. He

He desired to correct the impress

that he received no assistance what

special dispatch from Clarksburg
to the Washington Post contains the
following interesting bit of political
gossip:
Announcement comes tonight,
through close personal friend of
Judge Nathan Gotf, that he is much
pleased with the rapidly growing sem
timept throughout the state.for his.re-
entrance into politics. and more than
pleased with the universal suggestion
that he is ut this time the choice of SO
many leading republicans for their
leader il the next senatorial cam
paign. From his semi official author
ity it is learned that Judge Golf re-
CARDS the campaign next year for
members OF the state legislature as
vital to the senatorial candidaov, and
that his re-entrance. il such is made.
must be in time to avail himself OF
the opportunity at hand in that CAM
paign. The death. however, of his
sons wife IN Milwaukee. a few days
ago, from whose funeral he has not
yet returned, will delav any action ON
his part TO again get into politics.
There is no longer any shadow OF
doubt about his eanerness to cast aside
the Judicial ermine and return TO
politics. Frequently, in the last CAM
paign. he openly expressed such a de-
sire. and was upon the point OF going
on the stump His view of it then
was that other judges made political
speeches, why not beP and when SEN
ator Elkins spoke here during the CAM
paign, Judge Golf was an interested
listener, and ON that occasion his
eagerness to get into the party har-
ness once more was evident.
Owing TO his present bereavement,
the demand of some of the state papers
that he be heard from on the subject
has gone unheeded, and there may be
no definite announcement Of his in
tentions until midsummer.
