IT COST TO KEEP CLEAN
CITY WILL PAY $500
Street Commissioner Gem Takes Ad-
advantage of the fine day yester-
Dirt Removed-cIeaning North
Tenth Street.

Street Commissioner Gem took
advantage of the fine spring day yester-
day and started work on the annual
house cleaning" Richmond is
obliged to undergo. A large gang of
men was busy all day cutting mud on
North Tenth street from the railroad
to the river, and in day or two that
thoroughfare will look quite presenta-
BILE. Gem is pessimistic on the sub
ject of the weather, believing that
Richmond is in store for more rain
and sleet, so the work of sweeping the
streets will not begin before the last
of this month. In the meantime an
effort will be made to keep the princi-
pal streets as clean as possible. Gem
states that the cost of cleaning up
the city this year will be in the
of $500 or $4,000.

UNION BECAME ACTIVE
MANUFACTURERS LOOKED WITH
DISFAvOR ON VISITS OF LABOR
LEADERS AND TOOK DRASTIC
MEASURES.
Publishers Press1

Raleigh, N. c., April 2.-All of the
thirty furniture factories at High
Point, N. c., this morning locked out
every workman who was still a men,
ber of any labor union. Over 1000
skilled furniture makers, many Of
whom have been here for years. are
now in idleness. All the factories are
running the same as usual today
however, as the majority of the work
men were not members of any labor
union. Some of the factories and glass
working establishments have about
half the usual complement of hands.
High Point is, with the one excep-
tion of Grand Rapids, the largest fur
niture manufacturing town in the
United States. Thousands of work
men have been employed for years in
working establishments and the work
men have never had any connection
with either national or labor unions
until recently, when the National Fed
Grafton began to organize.
The furniture manufacturers, like
disfavor on the acts of the visiting
union labor leaders who were sent
here to organize the men. but until
ten days ago took no definite action
to counteract their efforts. Then an
official order was issued that no
workman who holds membership in
any labor union or other labor organi
zation on or after April shall be no
longer employed by any furniture fac
tory or glass esta blisnment in High
Point
There is an effort being made to ad-
just differences but the manufactur.
ers appear determined.

Columbus, o., April 2.-The Ohio
legislators are scattering for their
homes tonight. The two houses ad-
journed shortly before o'clock this
evening, the clerks having been stop
ped at Has a. m., to meet the terms
of the adjournment resolution-high
noon.
Many bills were hurried through,
but they were mostly of minor signifi-
canoe and the day was more import
ant for the legislation that was slau-
ghtered than for what was passed.
The senate killed the primary re-
form bill, refusing to agree with the
house amendments, and later with
the report of the conference commit
tee. The senate refused also to take
up the bill for the taxation of fran
chises and the banking bill suffered
similar fate.
An attempt to secure reconsidera
tion of the vote that passed the bill
to grant immunity for witnesses in
trust cases, failed.
The bill increasing the annual sal
ary of members of the legislature
from $500 to $1,000 was passed, but
the state salary bib was defeated.
Lieutenant Governor Harris order
ed the arrest of any lobbyist found on
the loor but the sergeant would not

went after. The session after pass

NICHOLS HAS CHANGED
SUNDAY HE CLAIMED HE KNEW
NoTHING-NoW HE LOOKS FOR
A sETTLEMENT-FiRsT SHOOT
ING is DONE.
Publishers PresS1

Scrnton, Pa. Apil 2.-There is an
Impression prevailing mong the OPP
orators of this city and vicinity his
evening, hat settlement of the strike
now on will be affected at the meeting
between the operators and miners at
the session to be held in New York
tomorrow.
Mr.. James G. Shepherd, the principl
owner of the Oxford mine, the only
one working in the entire anthracite
belt aid this afternoon that he could
not help but feel that the end wa very
neear and that the suspension, as the
miners persist in calling it. will end
with another week. An even more
prominen operator had heard that at
the session tomorrow Mitchell will
propose that the miners continue un-
der the conditions of the strike COM
mission ward for another year, but
the operators will insist on three
years agreement. A still further
story that was told among the opera
tors was that tomorrow Mitchell will
suggest compromise In the way of
five per cent increase of wages and
that the operators will accept 1t to
avert a very threatening and aggra-
vatin situation.
Nichols Now Talks.
1t is the opinion here, tht in view OF
these rumors, all of which have come
from men of prominence, as well as
sttement made by President Nichols,
plan is on foot for a settlement and
that great effort will be made to
reach it at the New York conference.
Before leaving for New York. Presi-
dent Nichols said that 1T was his i'm
preston that satisfactory settlement
would be reached at the New York
conference.
Inside of twenty-four hours, Mr..
Nichols has changed his mind. Yester-
day he told the reporters he did not
know any more about it than they did.
Today he said that he felt that there
would be settlement
All the collieries but one in the an
thracite region were practically idle
today. That one is the Oxford,
which worked full handed and filled
the places of a few strikers with other
men at once. But all the washeries
but one or two in the Lackawanna re-
gion were operated. The union has
been unable to reach the men employ
ed there.
First Shooting of Strike. .....
The first shooting of the strike oc-
Cured at the Consolidated Mine of the
Erie Company at Moosic this evening.
A young striker saw George Randall.
an inspecor, standing at the gate Of
the stockade and cursed him. RAN
dali cuffed him and the striker drew
a revolver and shot at him. The bull
let wounded William Shepherd slight
ly in the thigh. The striker escaped.
At the same colliery this evening,
Ernest Caryl, division superintendent
of the Erie, was ambushed in a lonely
spot by two Poles and severely
thrashed.
1t is stated that only two miners re-
ported for duty at all the collieries Of
the Delaware and Hudson company to-
day.

GATHERING IN WASHINGTON.
IL Full Attendance in Both Houses
When Congress COnvenes Tomorrow

Washington, December 1.-The last
few days have witnessed the arrival
of an exceptionally large number Of
senators and members of the house OF
representatives and the indications
are that when the final session of the
59th congress opens at noon next Mon
day there will be a full attendance in
both houses. There has so far been
very little opportunity for conference
among leaders, but most Of them agree
that the session will be a very busy
one The house committee on apprO-
priatiOns has been at work for week
with the hope of having a supply bill
ready for consideration at the begin
ming Of the session and while il has
become evident that it will not be en-
tirely successful in that direction, there
is 10 doubt that it will be able to re-
port soon after cOnvening, and shat
the house at least will soon be engaged
with the real business of the session,
which is the consideration Of the ap-
preparations for the next fiscal year
