There is an unconfirmed report that
the jury in the case of Caleb Powers
stands eleven for acquitted and one

The jury had asked the court to re-
fresh their memory from which door
of the legislative building Youtsey
made his exit after the shot was fired

fired.
This is taken by the public as an
indication that the jury is consider

on by the defense that Youtsey him
self fired the fatal shot and that Jim
Howard had nothing to do With it.

BL UFF STORIES
SA VS. Mr.. McFALL
About Strikers Breaking at Kane and
the BeIgiums Sending Money
to America.

1--WE wish to state,r said @. w.
McFall. member OF the wage scale
committee Of the window Glass Cut
ters and Flatteners Association to a
Telegram representative today, "that
the telegram from Harbert, OF Kane,
stating that the men had broken
away at that place Is mistake as
far as facts are concerned and such
blur and buster only tends to show
to what ends some cutters and dat
teners win resort to destroy their
own respective trades in order. that
they may retain some temporary Ia
vor from the Amalgamated associa-
ton.
"one flattener, an old man, and his
apprentice, were induced to 60 to
work, and the rest of the cutters and
fiatteners are standing solid against
the Cleveland sliding scale in the
cutting and fiattening departments.
The same conditions exist at smith
port, Fredonia. Kansas ana the Ma
rllla plant at Morgantown as at Kane
and clarksburg. and the men who
went out win not take a reduction
in their wages just because the blow
ers and gatherers are compelled to
In order to meet the competition of
the blowing machine.
"The report OF $4,000 being sent
from Belgium TO use in the effort to
reduce our wages is only one OF the
many bluffs that the Amalgamated
has made to hold their men from go-
ing to work on the very scale that
their officials had agreed upon at
Cleveland and their reason for So
doing is because the cutters and nat
teners refuse to go down with them.
The idea of the Belgium worker
helping the Amalgamated," continn-
ed Mr.. Mccall, ',looks ridiculous to
US in as much as letter received
by us yestrday from a member of the
Belgium workers executive board
states that the conditions existing In
that country are, If anything. more
deplorable than in this country.
Only eight of the forty-two plants
are in operation in that country, and
these have served notice to their men
that they must accept 15 per cent
reduction Jan. /, 1908. or they would
be compelled to close their plants.
The men there are working as many
as four in one place and many are
walking the streets with no work.
I'm the last six years the wages of
the Belgium workmen has dacreased
so per cent, and an average blower
now can make only about $50 per
month. Divide this among three or
four and the sending of Belgium
money to America looks ridiculous.
The member further states that Pres
ident GILES of the Belgium Glass
Workers Association has advised
President Faulkner to get his men to
work If possible at any scale. Even
If the Almagamated were to receive
aid from any source it would not de-
ter us from enforcing our scale the
same as heretofore"
