NOT DECIDED ON ACTION
EMPLOYERS ARE RETICENT
Factory Owners Do Not Care to Dis
cuss Demands Made On Them by
Moulders, But 1t is Understood
They Are Willing to Compromise.

Just what action will be taken
by the officers in the local
factories which are affected by
the demands recently made by the To-
cal moulders' union for an increase in
the wage scale from $3.50 to $500 per
day, has not yet been announced.
Several of these officials were asked
yesterday what action they would
take in the matter, but their answers
were vague and indefinite. Presi-
dent Howard Campbell, of the Gaar.
Scott & Company, stated that the de-
mand had been received, but that no
decision had been reached He was
asked if the Wayne Works, Gaar,
Scott & Company, Richmond City

son e. Company intended to get to-
gether and reach some decision. He
replied that he knew nothing of such
an arrangement and thought that no
conference would be held.
Just what the time limit the mould
ers have set on receiving an answer
to their demand, is not known, but it
is the general impre ssion that some
answer will be given them by their
employers shortly. 1t is thought that
compromise will be suggested and
probably accepted on the part of the
moulders.

More Money Will Be Given for
Winning Orations Than
Ever Before.
GENTLEMAN GIVES 500
THE SEABURY PRIZE WILL BE d.
VlDED INTO TWO PARTS AND
AWARDED TO ORATORS ON
PEACE SUBJECTS.

The prize of s25, which was offered
to the students of Earlham by the
Misses Mary and Frances Seabury, of
New Bedford, Mass, for the best es-
say on international Peace and Ar
bitration," has been divided by the
faculty of Earlham into two prizes,
one of fifteen dollars and the other of
ten. The faculty has also seen fit to
make the essays in the form of ora
tions, and the contest will be held on
this subject, February l, 1907. The
winner of this contest will represent
Earlham in theinter-state contest to
be held in Cincinnati in April or
May of 1907. 1t is thought that at
least 500 will be awarded in prizes at
this contest. This will stimulate in
terest in the preliminary contest.
1t was announced yesterday in
chapel that a gentleman had offered
500 to be distributed to the debaters
and orators of the college just as the
faculty saw fit. This in addition to
the Cogwill prize of $50, will stimu-
late interest in the State contest, as
it has neve rbeen before. With two
preliminaries and two state contests,
in oratory for next year, there is no
reason why Earlham should not turn
out winning orator next year.
