The signs of the Times.

A short time ago the New York
Central railroad dispensed with the
services OF a large number OF its men
employed in the car shops at Depew'
n. Y. The reduction OF the force
was naturally attributed to the fl
nancial stringency" and dire predic-
tons of hard times to follow were
made. Nov those men have nearly
all been reinstated and others are to
be given places az fast as possible.
The press dispatches tell that there
is a shortage OF tin plate in the coun-
try and that the American Sheet
Metal company, known as the tin
plate trust, has given orders to start
its mills at Newcastle, Pa, and at
points in the gas belt of Indiana,
These orders will necessitate the en-
ployment OF large number Of the
highest paid workmen In the coun-
try who have been idle since long
before the furry in New York which
set the country by the ears.
The United states steel corpora
ton Is also extending its productive
operations and the resumption of sew
eral other industrial establishments
IN the East is announced. Some OF
ths~s concerns have been closed

Football Clans Gathered.
Special to Daily Panhandle.


New York, Dec. 27.--The football
clans of the country are gathered in
New York for the annual meeting OF
the intercollegiate Athletic Assocla-
ton OF tho United States, which
opened today a. tho Murray Hin ho-
tel, This association, which grew
out OF tho conference of colleges
when football was on trial before the
public and threatened with extinc-
ton, has been slowly but surely
working along lines which have led
to the Improvement and uplifting OF
intercollegiate sports.
SOME Of the larger universities
have not joined in the movement rs
yet, but a committee, appointed for
tho purpose, is expected to report
fayorably on plan which will make
II possible for Yale, Princeton and
other leading universities to enter,
and so greatly enlarge the scope and
influence OF the association.
The terms OF seven OF the four
teen members OF the football rules
committee OF the association will OK
pire at this meeting but It Is likely
that all will be reelected, with ono
exception, Joshua Crane will sue
coed w, l., Reid, Jro as the repre-
sentative Of Harvard. The action
adopted by the convention in tho
matter OF the conduct Of the rules
committee is expected to have an
important bearing on the possible
changes In the rules and regulations.
such as the abandonment Of the for
ward pass and other matters sug-
gested since the closing Of the last
football season,
The attitude OF the larger univer-
sites toward the association Is oc-
cupying the attention OF football leg
islators at present far more than the
rules themselves With the aid of
Pennsylvania, Chicago and Cornell,
and probably that OF Yale, it is ex-
pected that the body will be in a fair
way to achieve its reform mission
in the realm OF athletic snorts.
The association has formulated
the amendments that are necessary
to bring about the results that the
larger colleges desire. II those amend
ments pass, the colleges that were
formerly members OF the old rules
committee will secure permanent
representation, and the terms OF all
members will be increased to three
years. This will secure the pres
ence in football legislation and who
who have had the greatest expert
ence in football lgislation and who
are responsible for the development
of the game. It will also prevent
changes in the personnel OF the com
mite before the new men appointed
have had opportunity to acqualnt
themselves with the character of the
work and to become really useful.

SNOW MAKES TROUBLE.
Water on New TimbcrS Pushes Wall
Out in New Building.

Snow from the recent storm which
fell on the timbers on the second
floor OF the new Thompson-Webs
building now under construction,
made serious trouble by causing the
timbers to swell and push the wall
of the building forward. The front
OF the building had been built up
only about four feet from the first
floor line so the force of the swell
ing timbers was able to push the
newly constructed wall away from
the wall of the building next it on
the north. AS a result the wall
showed gap Of nearly two inches
this morning and the workmen had
to be set to taking down the recently
constructed part Of the wall and re-
placing 1t in line. Fortunately q
comparatively small part Of the wall
had to be changed and the work of
overcoming the damage can be com
pleted today.
