Will Not Grant Extra Dollar a Week Nor Shorten Hours of Labor from Nine
 to Eight.
MEN AGREE TO MEETING
Both Sides Determined Not to Yield at the Conference Which Is to be Held This Morn-
 ing.

Suddenly reversing their decision not to have any conference with the brewers in regard to their demands, the employees last night asked the brewers for a conference and one will be held this morning in the headquar- ters of the Connecticut Brewers asso- citation on Chapel street. The cause of this sudden change was the very apparent determination not to grant tn, demands of the employees without first thoroughly talking the matter over
 The brewers have decided not to grant the demands of the men in full or in part, SO that the conference of this morning will probably come to nothing The brewers Fay tha they do not care If che men all get through, because of the large amount of labor which can hc engaged a any time The work is not especially dini- cult, they say, although 1t is heavy
 The demands do not affect tho drivers and their assistants alone as was first stated. but extend 10 every l department in the breweries Including about l75 men These all a,k for an | Increase of Sl a week in pay and a shortening of the day Co eight hours, # As soon as the demands were pre- sented the brewers refused them, and 1 invited the men to q conference in re- gard to them. The men refused and stated that the demands were perfect I ly clear tnd that there would be no compromise Yesterday afternoon the employees changed their minds sudden i ly clear and that there would be no was granted for this morning
 N W. Kendall, president of tho Brewers association, said last night that the brewers would remain fast in their refusal to grant the mems de- mands He said that the present time is no time to shorten hours or Co in. crease wages.
 Although the men arc determined to get the raise, 1t is probable that nc such action as strike will be taker for the present, The men do not be. lleve that the brewers can get efficient men to take their places and would keep all union men from working in the local breWeries.

COURT UPHoLDS MULE.
Judge Howe Decides II is Not Respon.
sibIe For Accident.

Des Moines, Nov. 21.-Judge James
A. Howe came to the rescue of a
blind. decrepit stiff-legged 20-year-old
mule in district court when he ruled
that a miner and not the mule was
responsible for the injuries received
by William McGlauthlin in a mine &C
cident. He ordered the $500 dam
age suit brought against the Midway
Coal company by McGlauthlin dis

the roof and pulling his neck several
inches out of joint He held that the
company was liable because it was
negligent ia working such an old
skate of a mule in the mines when
the officials we'll knew that it was
twenty years old, blind, stiff-legged
and not active enough for work in
the mine.
But the testimony showed that the
coal car had been loaded too high by
a fellow miner, and that McGlauth'
lin climbed upon top of the loaded
car. This, Judge Howe ruled, was
not the fault of the old mule, neither
was it the fault of the coal company,
so he directed the jury to return a
verdict for the defendants.
But the court ruled for McGlauth
lin in the second count of his suit
against the coal company, wherein
he asks for wages which he claims
are due and owing to him. The court

WORKED LIKE A CHARM.
Seven Calls Follow an Offer to Sell
Stove.

Repeatedly testimonials of a convin'
cling character are received by the
Herald relative to the effectiveness
of ads placed in our classified col.
umns. Mrs. Hadley, of First avenue
East, inserted For Sale" ad in the
Daily Herald the other day offering a
secondhand stove for sale. That
evening before bedtime she had re-
ceived five telephone calls in reply
to the advertisement and two more
calls came in the morning before
breakfast. She had no trouble in sell
ing the stove with the one insertion
of the advertisement. Perhaps you
may have tried want ad" in the
Herald and been disappointed-per-
haps not. But If such was the case,
do not condemn the system nor the
medium until other reasons for fail
ure have been considered. Perhaps
you have advertised for lost article
that is in your own home, or which
has never been found. An advertise
ment cannot create anything. but only
convey your wants to the people of
the community.
