"The parting nearly killed both of u.s."

question. They refuse to work more
than eight hours a day.
e. T.. Smith, general organizer OF
the International Brotherhood of Sta
tionary Firemen, residing in Toledo,
who is conducting the labor side of the
controversy, laid his case before Gen
eral Manager u. s. Dimmock OF the
Canton-Akron company. Mr.. Dimmock
refused to do anything that would add
to the cost of running expenses and
stated that he did not recognize
strike. A member of the Central La
Dor Union states that IL men were
employed as firemen on Saturday and
II on Sunday for one turn only, doing
the work formerly done by six men.
He states that Mr.. Dimmock evidently
did not think of the increased expense
of employing twice as many to do the
work as formerly.
An employe of the CA. company
states that 10 or IL men all told are
now being employed at the power house
to take the places of the striking fire
men. They are experienced fireman
from out of town. and, according to the
employe, no foreigners are now being
employed.
The power again went off at about 10
o'clock last night, with the cars stand
ing at different places. Finally enough
power was secured to run each car to
the public square, where they were left
standing. About II cars were standing
on West Tuscarawas, South Market
and North Market At about IL: Is the
power was turned on. 1t is said that
during the delay the firemen at the
power house were cleaning out the
clinkers that had accumulated in the
furnaces. 1t is claimed that the regu-
lar fremen could do this without it
having any effect on the pressure of
steam.

"TIP" O'NEILL'S WIFEIS

lily Manacled-The Hearing Will Be Held
Wednesday Morning.

Columbus, o.. Sept. 3.-James, alias
"Tip," O'Neil, charged with completely
in the attempt to release frank. Cas-
Franklin county Jail, was brought up
before Justice Homer Y. Bostwick, in
the justices court, Saturday, for pre-
linminary hearing, which he demanded
when arraigned on Thursday. The
hearing was continued until 8 o'clock
Wednesday morning, Sept. 6, because
his attorneys had not mapped out a
line of defense, claiming that they had
been unable to have private confer
ence with O'Neil.
Sheriff Karb and Deputy Reedy Nc
Donald came into the court room to-
gether with their prisoners, O'Neil and
BLACK Pete" Matthias, strongly mana
cled to them. Attorneys Earnhart and
Catch, representing the defense, and
Prosecutor Game were on hand.
Catch for the defense opened the dis
cussion by stating that he did not be-
leve that they could proceed in the
hearing because they had not been per-
mitted to have private conference
with their client. He said that they
had rushed O'Neil through all kinds of
things without giving him chance to
map out defense. He concluded by
asking an order to be allowed to con-
verse with the prisoner in regard to his
line of defense.
Prosecutor Game replied that the
prisoner was in the care of the sheriff
and that he has right to hear and
see everything that is done. He said
that the defense was not deprived of

A mass meeting of labor sympathiz-
ers was held Sunday afternoon at MINI
isllla Park. to take vote on the strike
situation at the Canton-Akron power
house, where the firemen went on a
strike for higher wages and an eight
hour day.
About 1000 persons were present at
the mass meeting The meeting was
held at 4; 10, and J. A. Robinson, pres
ident of the local labor union, and Mr..
Smith addressed the crowd. The rail-
road company was then invited to make
a statement through some official, but
no one appeared representing the COM
pgny. The crowd was an orderly one
and paid close attention to all that was
said. A vote was then taken as to
whether the firemen or the company
were in the right, and It was unani-
mously in favor of the former. The
meeting occupied about an hour.

Washington d. c., Sept. 3.-To pre-
vent their summary dismissal Tuesday,
as announced by Public Printer Pal,
mer Oscar j. Ricketts,, forman Of
printing, and l.. c. Hay, foreman of
the job room in the government print
ing Office, are taking all possible steps
to hold their positions. The public
printer requested their designations
some time ago. Former Senator John
NJ ThurstCn of Nebraska has been re-
tanned as counsel by the foremen. He
has already made representations on
their behalf to President Roosevelt and
the civil service commission
A protest has been filed with the
civil service commission, declaring its
rules have been violated in removing
officials without cause and before a
hearing was given them. Commission
er Cooley is now en- route to Oyster
Bay and will have a conference with
the President on the subject tomorrow.
1t is positively said today that Pub
lie Printer Palmer acted without any
instructions from Oyster Bay and en-
tirely on his individual authority. He
requested Ricketts, and Hay late Friday
evening to tender their designations by
Tuesday morning or show cause why
they should not be summarily dis
missed for INSTRUMENTATION. AS Sat
urday is a half holiday, with Sunday
and Monday full holidays, they were
allowed but five hours of legal working
time in which to formulate their re-
plies, which must represented on Tues
day morning.
When Ricketts, and Hay reported for
duty Saturday, as a matter of form,
they found men detailed by Public
Printer Palmer to perform their duties.
1t is said tonight that advices have
been received here from the President
assuring Ricketts, and Hay square
deal"
A member of the Keep commission,
setting machine contract, the report
having been submitted to the President
and not made public, said tonight that
there is not word in the report det-
rimental to Mr.. Ricketts,.
Many political friends are expected
to come to the assistance of Ricketts,
and Hay, and the settlement of the diff
ferences between these men and Mr..
Palmer is likely to precipitate one of
the liveliest fights witnessed here in re-
cent years,
II is said that after announcement
was made that Mr.. Palmer would not
be reappointed, Mr.. Ricketts, decided to
become a candidate for his place. He
was able to file the strongest series of
recommendation submitted by any ap-
plicant for Office during the present ad-
ministratiOn.

but that the shesiff could not allow
anybody to go into secret conference
except by order of the judge of common
pleas.
Game Insisted that he could not be
given an opportunity to converse pri-
vately with the prisoner, and finally the
defendants attorneys, after a short in
terview with him, asked that the hear
ing be, postponed until Wednesday
morning, September 6.

Earnhart had a, talk with O'Neil in the

excited during the interview and shout
ed aloud: why don't they put the
other fellers in the pen. The only man
they seem to want is Tip O'Neil. No
body framed up this ting but the sher-
ifs, anyhow" He was finally quieted
by Earnhart.
Mrs. O'Neil, who has been conduct
ing O'Neil's defense from the outside,
was present, and when ONeil entered

stay for the next hearing Mrs. O'Neil
replied that she could not say"
After the request that the hearing
be postponed had been granted by Mag
istrate Bostwick, he said that he did
not believe that the attorneys could
have private interview with the pris-
oner, but that if any one was in hear
ing that 1t would, of course, mean that
whatever the listener heard could not
be brought out in the prosecution.
The defense will endeavor to prove
an alibi it seems, and some startling
letters will be produced.
