EXPLAINS HIS POSITION

1t has been generally understood that
Elan Neal, the revenue collector for
the 9Th district, including Hammond.
has been under criticism because OF
his activity during the recent campaign
preceding the state election. The fol-
flowing interview indicates his position
in the matter:
Fortunately" said Mr.. Neal, zone of
the Government men was here few
days ago checking up my accounts &C
cording to the regular custom. He can
speak for himself regarding my office:
u have just made my report TO
Washington. said the inspector, and
| ! find that Mr.. NeaIs accounts are alb
lsolutely correct. / am unable to under
stand why a rumor to the contrary
should be started"

PLUMBERS AND BOSSES
HOLD FRUITLESS MEETING
Next Meeting VIII Probably Result In
Settlement of Long Standing
Strike.

The Joint meeting of the journeymen
plumbers and the master plumbers at
Vermett's plumbing shop last Saturday
failed to result in an agreement owing
to lack of authority to act on part Of
the journey mems committee.
The Plumbers and Steamfitters' I'M
ion will hold their regular meeting this
evening and it is probable that the COM
mittee may be given authority to act
in conference with the master plumbers.
/ 1t is expected that another joint
meeting will be held some time this
week at which time it is thought that
at this meeting the master plumbers
! will make few demands from the
journey men which, if lived up to on
both sides, will prevent strikes in the
future.
