STEEL SITUATION IN
A CONFUSED STATE

CLEVELAND. o., Feb. 25.-The Iror
Trade Review today says: THE decla-
ration of an open market on iron and
steel products has thrown the trade into
a state of confusion, from which it is
now attempting to free itself. While re-
auctions of prices had been anticipated
for some time. the abruptness of the in
ception andihe sweeping character o.
the new policy proclaimed quite aston
ished both buyers and sellers, and suf-
fcient time has not vet been had for q
calm and accurate analysis of the stu
alton or for a test of the results likely
TO be accomplished. Increased inquiries
from patrons have been brought to the
mills, but the gain in tonnage actual,
booked has not been of a signifcan'
amount.

TO RESURRECT
bROOD'S PLAN

While the mayor has been busy
on his plans for getting city labor
ordinances passed that would make
enforcement of the city scale and
employment of citizens certain, the
contractors who profit by alien
labor have not been idle, and as a
result the Broad ordinace will prob
ably be resurrected wnen Council
man Funk brings in the new ordi-
nances instigated by the mayor.
They may come up tonight.
The Broad ordinance IS aimed at
Thomas Maloney's cooperative
contracting scheme, which has fur
nished employment to mebers of
Federal union No 1854. 1t pro-
vides that laborers on city work
shall be paid in full every Saturday
night, but is silent on the question
of alien labor 1t hits the cooper
alive scheme by reason of the fact
that fraction of each mans pay Is
held back until the job is com.
pleted, Maloney claims that the
men are paid full rate eventually
and the ordinance in every respect
complied with.

TAILOR BURNED
IN GASOLINE
EXPLOSION
RESCUED BY FIREMEN WITH
HIS CLOTHING AND HAIR IN
FlAMES-INJURIES SERIOUS,
BUT NOT FATAL.

Sobbing and moaning in terrible
pain, Fred Walker is in the emer-
gency hospital with both arms hor-
ribly burned and his tailor shop at
Sprague avenue and Lincoln street
Is ruined, as the result of a gaso-
line explosion there this morning
Just what caused the explosion
Walker is unable to say, but when
the fire department got to the
second floor of the Curtis block in
answer to a call, they found Walk
er surrounded by the singing
tongues of fire, fighting to save
some of his effects
His clothes were Attire, his hair
and eye lashes were singed and
both his arms were frightfully
burned. The firemen dragged him
from the burning room In a half
conscious condition and hurried
him to the emergency hospital,
wehre his injuries were dressed by
Acting Stewart Dare.
1t is estimated that about 81 900
worth of damage was done to the
building, and to Walkers stock Of
goods and clothing left in his place
for cleaning. Though the tailor has
been in mortal agony all day, it
is believed he will recover.
Much gasoline is used in the
place in the process of cleaning
clothes, and it is believed the room
was filled with fumes, which ex-
ploded from one of the gas irons.

the scope of the water extensions
prepared by the head of the office.
These plans met with the unani-
nous endorsement of all present,
particularly the idea of a standpipe
for the north hill.
The feature of interest in the
meeting was the part taken in the
discussion by the women who an
nounced their intention to go after
and solve the water question where
the men had failed. The speeches
of the women stirred the crowd to
great enthusiasm and gave the
war for water" more formidable
appearance than 1t has ever had
before in this long. suffering region.
The women who spoke were
Mrs. Welsh. Mrs. Nettie Rice and
Mrs. Catherine Raudenbush, and
they demonstrated that they were
fully in touch with the water stu
alton.

by Carl Weber, and w. c. Russell
