tariff bill was placed under way. The
Republican members of the committee
assembled In a room in the Senate Office
building.
In accordance with the polite notice
given them yesterday the Democratic
members did not come around. As
they had not expected to be invited to
the meetings. thcy are not disappolnt-
ed. When the Dnglcy bill was in con-
ference. the Democratic members of
the committee were barred out, and
when the Wilson bill was In that stage
of progress, the Democrats kept the
Republican conferoes outside the door
until the deed was done.
Great Importance attaches TO rho
work Of the conference committee. be-
cause the result Of its deliberations
will be the real tariff law. When a
conference report goes TO the Senate
or House 1t must be adopted or re-
jected In its entirety. No amendments
can be made. The result is that con-
ference reports rarely II ever fail Of
adoption. Members who strenuously
oppose certain features of bill are
usually content 20 stand on the re-
cord made IN the proceedings, and VIII
not vote against an entire measure, as

In Hand

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
PITTsBURG. Pa. July io.-Accordlng to
the officials OF the Amalgamated Asso-
clation OF steel, Iron and Tin workers tho
strike at the plants of the American Sheet

self to-day, into a waiting game, with
the union leaders on the alert Tor the first
move by the trust to indicate It's plan OF
battle s.
Seven thousand men arc involved. In
plants extending from sharon. Pa, TO f.
wood Ind Despite the repeated rumors
to the effect that but a small per cont.
OF the men on strike are union men. and
despite the claims of the company ofhc ais
that the men are in no position TO with
stand long siege. the union officials de-
clare they have the situation wei IN hand
and expect no disafocton in the ranks
OF the strikers.
President McArdle was called TO Cam
bridge to-day to consult with Amalga-
mated organizers. The mass meeting az
Cascade Park. New Caste, in. the absence
Of the more prominent Amalgamated lead
ers became little more than an outing for
the men and their families

It was said three men were being housed
IN one OF the plants.

$40 fine FOR
NASTY ODORS
Water Commissioner Poole
Complains Of The Alpha
Company
HIS ANSWER MET
LAWYERS OBJECTION

The Alpha Process Company, which
manufactures fertilizers over south Mar
Set street bridge, was fined $40 and costs
by City Court Judge Cochran this morn
ing for Violating a city health ordl-
nance prohibiting offensive odors.
The company has repeatedly been
warned at the instance of Secretary Wig
ellsworth, Of the Board of Health Ow-
ing to the fact that IL is experimenting
with a process that Is presenting many
difficulties heretofore not encountered
in the manufacture OF fertilizers, the
company says. it has not been able to
obtain apparatus to abate the odor,
although Il has spent several thousand
dollars during the last year in endeavor-
ing to do so.
Hugh NJ. Morris. attorney, represented
the company. The principal witness was
Alfred d. Poole, of the ]. Morton Poole
Company.
Mr.. Poole cleverly evaded a discussion
into which Mr.. Morris tried to draw him
as to whether he merely thought or posi-
lively knew that an offensive odor on
last Tuesday came from the Alpha Com
panys plant.
Mr.. Poole hesitated to assert absolutely
that he knew the odor had come from
the plant lie was not so sure that the
odor came from the plant as he was that
he held his hat in his hand, but he was
morally convinced that the odor was
from the Alpha Companys works.
Mr. Morris protested that since Mr
Poole did not know absolutely his testi-
mony could not be considered against the
defendant company.
But Mr.. Poole presented an effective
analogy.
"If / saw a dead horse at some dis
tance. and an offensive odor came from
the direction Of that horse % he said, go
would certainly be convinced that th'
odor came from the horse, although
would not know absolutely unless / pu
my nose right up to the body"
THAT'S a good answer commente'
Judge Cochran.
Walter c. Walker an employe OF th
Poole Company. declared he traced tn
odor 10 the Alpha plant
IF YOU get the smell at II o'clock, yo'
can't cat your dinner" declared Walker
And he added. its happened to ms
often"
