THROUGH ELEVATOR ROOF.

MT. Carney. the elevator operator at city hall had to climb through the roof of his machine yesterday on ac- count of burnt out fuse. There were some passengers waiting 10 make a descent but just as 1t reached the sec- ond floor flash of light broke in the cellar and following the cables up to the roof ran down to the car. It broke and went back as 1t struck the wood work. and continued chasing itself up and down for several minutes. Offi- cials, clerks and everyone else in the building rushed out to the corridors, but the excitement was soon quelled, and after the operator, John Carney, had succeeded in crawling out through the roof the car was dropped 10 the cellar and laid up for repairs.

 Southington, Feb. II. - Monday Morning will witness a cut of ' 1-2 per cent, at the rolling mill. Such was the order posted by Manager S. D. Neal Thursday. The mill has been running but three days week and naturally the employed are greatly concerned in the matter It is only a short time ago that they received a raise of per cent. and now they re- ceive a cut which brings them l-2 per cent less than they were before their previous remonstrance. It IS not yet known whether the employees Will decide to go to work at that price, but strike is improbable. They expect to meet before starting to work and plan on some action in the matter. MT. Neal says that there are only two things he can do, either shut the shop down or cut the men, and the latter IS preferable. However, it is under stood that the cut is only tempo rary one.

OBJECT TO LUMBER
ON THE FREE LIST
Ship Owners Association Sends
Resolution to the Congress
siOnal Committee


The ship owners association of this
city is taking a keen interest in the
work of the congressional committee
engaged in revising the Dingley tariff
bill. ID. Skinner is representing the as
sOciation's interests before that COM
mittee and yesterday telegram was
sent to him outlining the ship owners
attitude toward the proposed placing of
lumber on the free list. The ship
owners views We're embodied in a reso-
luton adopted at a meeting held yes
terday and copy of this resolution
was sent TO Skinner.
The resolution in substance was a
declaration that with lumber on the
free list the American vessels now en-
gagged in the coastwise trade would be
placed in disadvantageous competition
with foreign vessels. At present the
duty on lumber practically shuts out
the product OF the British Columbia
forests and the coastwise shipping law
prevents the foreign vessels from cut
ting into the lumber trade between
Washington, Oregon and California
ports. With the duty removed, how
ever, says the resolution, there would
be every indueement for foreign bot
toms to engage in the trade between
British Columbia and California ports.
The foreign vessels, say the ship
owners, can be operated, on a basis of
equal tonnage, at a cost so per cent
less than it takes TO operate an Amer
lean vessel
