$500 A DOZEN HOSE
And Articles of That Nature Bought From Homer
By the Inrmay Directors. Result of an
Investigation by Alliance Merchants.

other clothing bills were Toronsld,
S659.32; Moke & Reed, Massillon, $S4;
Maier G. Shaidnagle, $S7 Hirsch-
heimer $SS.
''In the dry goods department, o. J.
Humberger, of Massillon, seemed to
have been the prime favorite. He was
patronized to the extent of $2,190.04,
one bill alone being for nearly $500.
This included rugs, carpets, curtains
and all classes of dry goods The
other dry goods men who were pat
ronized to degree were f. Herbruck,
$151; Mckenzie Sc Bell, $23; and w.
d. Caldwell, $S9.
''In the matter of shoes. Schpner &
Smith, of Canton, furnished boots,
shoes and rubbers to the amount of
$140.80; G.. ]. Bocbius of the same
city $24470; John D. Frank, $123.90;
F. w. Kolp, $14945.
"The Canton Hardware Company
and w. A. Kennedy, both of Canton.
furnished practically all the hardware,
amounting to many hundreds of dol
lars, and the drugs were supplied by
the Koch drug store and NJ A. Fish
er.
1T was found that large quantities
of whisky was bought for the institu-
ton, mostly from the Penn Liquor
Company, but nothing was discovered
as to who consumed the stuff There
was another item of $50 expended for
hog medicine, which may have been
for the benefit of the fellows who
hogged all the trade.
THE committee members called
upon Mr.. Thomas Miller at the Homer
store. He had no explanation of con-
ditions and admitted that Alliance had
not been fairly treated. He suggested
that as we had two infirmary directors
over here that they ought to be seen.
He stated however that the grocery
contract had been let out at compet-
tive bidding this year for the first
time, and that the letting had been
advertised in the Alliance papers.
Whether or not this publication was
made in the Review has not been as
certained, but 1t is a rather signifi-
cant fact that c. w. Ream, one of the
favorite grocers with the directors,
secured the contract. Certain it is
that none of the Alliance grocers knew
of the bidding, so far as heard from.
AN examination of the bills showed
that large amounts of 20-cent coffee
was being used at the institution and
more at Is cents. Bananas were fur
nished at 25 cents a dozen and Blue
Hen tobacco at % cents a pound"

The Alliance merchants have be-
come aroused over the gross impair
TALLY of the infirmary directors in
the purchase of supplies for the in
firmary, and they sent committee
consisting of ]. I. Kennedy, Oscar O..
Thomas and G. 0. Scranton to the
court house to investigate. At a meet
ing of the association in Alliance the
committee made it's report which was
in part as follows:-
1.-TWO members of the COMMITTEES Wis
tied Canton Thursday afternoon and
went over the books at the auditor S
office to see who gets the patronage
from the infirmary directors. 1t was
found that for many years past GER
tain favored dealers supply the bulk
Of the clothing, boots and shoes, gro
ceries, dry goods, drugs, etc. We went
over the books for the last thirteen
months, dating back to January l,
1905, with the following results:
During that period, the only money
paid to an Alliance dealer for any of
these staples was Sc paid to A. D..
Wallace for groceries. On the other
hand, A. H. Coe of Canton, was patron
lied to the extent of S2,14573, while
G.. w. Ream, also of Canton, furnished
$70137 worth of groceries during the
same period. The Dannemiller Com
pany was patronized to the exteut Of
$371.20.
"Bills of other grocers of Canton
and Massillon were as follows: Sonn-
halter Bros, S73.63; Geiers C Rice,
S62; Bowers & Morrison, $24; w. G..
Morrison, $145; E. c. Harley, $97;
C. o. Roger, $16S; VIM. l.. Roher,
$5267; A. Gresser, $49; Schworm
Bros, So
In the matter of clothing, it was
found that the greater part of the sup
plies were furnished by w. E. Homer,
of Canton, in which store infirmary
director Thomas Miller is a clerk.
Ever since Miller has been upon the
infirmary board, this firm has been
patronized SO literally that other deal
ers have been practically excluded.
During the period covered by this re-
port, Homer had three bills, one for
$505.34, one of $350.75, and one for
$591.0O making total of S1,44709.
Some of the bills included hose
at $6 a dozen, suits ranging in price
from Sc to $40, and it was noticeable
that many of the bills were very in
definite, such entries being made as
Shirts $500, etc., without designating
the number of articles furnished. The

an Akron Resident.

Saturdays Akron Times Democrat:
Among the many applicants that
Uncle Joe Kendall had call upon him
this week, was poor unfortunate
old man of about so years. Friday
morning he was walking along Broad
way and asking for aid. He was di-
rected to go see Uncle Joe. He then
marched straight down to Uncle Joe's
Office on South Howard street. Uncle
Joe invited him in, and after he was
seated, he was asked for his history.
He began telling of his hard luck in
the world, as he had no trade. He
claimed he came here from Cleveland,
and asked for passage TO Canton.
Uncle Joe, seeing he was no drinking
man, took pity on him and reached in
his pocket and gave him money to
go to Canton. The poor man then
smiled broadly and after bestowing a
blessing upon Uncle Joe, departed on
his journey"

ment; a readjusted scale of wages, with ' award made by the strike commission for contract miners; new sliding scale providing for an increase of one per cent. in wages for all mine workers af- fected by the agreement for each in- crease of five cents in the average price of coal, in the sizes known as grate, egg, stove and chestnut, sold at or near
 New York above $4.5O per ton, the rate of compensation in no case to be less than that fixed in the agreement; the recognition of a mine committee from the union with full authority to take up with the officials of a company any dispute or grievance which may arise at a colliery.
 In case of a failure of the mine com mittee and the officials of the company to bring about a settlement the griev-
 ance under the plan proposed by the
 miners, would be referred to the offl- cials of the district, who would take
 the matter up with the general super intendent or manager of the company for adjustment In event of the failure
 of these officers to agree the complain
 ants then might present the grievance and the companys answer to a board
 of eonciliation. It was proposed that
 the whole anthracite coal region be di-
 vided into three districts, and that the
 board of conciliation be made up of four representatives from each of these districts, two members in each district
 to be chosen by the miners and two by
 the operators. In event of the board
 failing to reach an agreement upon any l grievance it was proposed that the
 board then select an arbitrator to whom
 the grievance would be submitted for prompt decision.

to have more equal representation of the societies, the larger number was necessary. This was adopted.
 President Kent then announced the resignations of Secretary Watrous, Max Adler and Mrs. Frank c. Porter from the executive board.
 Resolutions providing that the wom- ems societies be represented by at least three members on the executive board, and that two of the vacancies be left to the board itself to fill when the list of society members was complete, were adopted.
 As two members of the executive board the executive committee ,reeom- mended the names of Rev. Father Coyle, of St Johns R. c. church, and Levi T. Snow, and they were unani- mously elected Nominations were then requested for the selection of the three women to be placed on the committee, and it was suggested that one of these should be a representative of the work ing girl. Colonel Osborn nominated Mrs. Alexander Troup, Miss Alice C.. Ford and Mrs, F. A. Graves, and they were elected Mrs. Graves afterward resigned and nominated in her stead Mrs. Evans, of the Lowell association, who was elected.
 The following programme has been adopted for the mass meeting to be held in Woolsey hall next Sunday aft ernoon:

and employees, nor of the public, to have the mining business, as well as the general business and comfort of the people, seriously disturbed by these yearly contentious.
 Neither can stand these progressive and enormous increases in the cost of the production of anthracite coal, fol- lowed necessarily by corresponding in- creases in it's price.
 Tt is peculiarly fortunate, therefore, that existing conditions have all been the result of arbitration by third per- sons, so that neither party can say that it has not had due consideration. There can be no doubt that the good of all concerned will be served best by adher- ing to the results thus reached

Name Chosen at Meeting Saturday Af-
 ternOOn--New Members Elected to
 Executive Committee--Mr. DefOrest
 First Rally in Woolsey Hall Next
 Sunday
 About one hundred New Haveners, men and women, delegates from civic and charitable associations of the city, assembled in the United church chapel Saturday afternoon to perfect the or' ganization of the proposed association of societies of the city to take up civic educational work by means of Sunday afternoon mass meetings in Woolsey hall.
 At a meeting held about two weeks ago an executive, committee of eight was elected by the delegates present to proceed with the organization, and of these Professor Charles F. Kent, of Yale, was chosen president and Eliot Watrous secretary.
 1uG meeting 0dLuIudy dlleElOOH Wto called to order by Professor Kent, and the first matter taken up was the re- port of the provisional committee, of which Charles s. DeForest is chairman. MT. DeForest reported that the com mittee had considered two names for the association, namely, "The New Ha- ven Associated Organizations" and "The Federated Societies of New Ha- ven." These names were simply offered as suggestions, he said. The meeting finally voted to adopt the title of "The Associated Societies of New Haven"
 MT. DeForest, in the committee re- port, also dealt upon the purpose of the association, which, he stated, was for the purposes of education along munic- ipal and social improvement, and re- ferred to the plan for a uniform char ter for cities of Connecticut, which was now under consideration by commit tee appointed by the last general as- sembly, as an illustration of the sub iects which would be taken up by the association.
 He further said that the committed recommended the enlargement of the executive board from eight to twelve members, as owing to the large growth with which the organization has al ready been favored it was thought that
