STARTS RETRENCHMENT
STEEL CORPORATION SHUTS
DOWN SOME OF ITS MILLS.
Immense Concern Gives Scarcity Of
Orders as Reason for Making
Its Present Move.

Pittsburg, Pa.-The following print
ed in Pittsburg from an authori-
tative source caused comment and
later investigation which proved it
correct:
THE United States Steel Corpora
tion has begun retrenchment policy
which in a short time will make itself
felt in the Lawrenceville district. The
Lower Union mills at Twenty-ninth
street and Allegheny Valley railroad
have shut down and will remain so
for four months. The 20-inch mill of
the Upper Union mills, Thirty-third
street and Allegheny Valley railroad,
has been working on half time for
two months while the 17-ineh mill
has been idle for that length of time.
The 1S-inch department has closed for
an indefinite time and the balance of
the departments are on half time,
Scarcity of orders compells the move.
1t is found on investigation that with
in the last few days the Carnegie
Steel Co., which controls the mills in
question, have lost 100000 pounds of
steel by cancellation in the last few
days.

w. B. Melish, of Cincinnati, assisted
the Masonic grand lodge of Ohio to
lay the cornerstone for the fifth court
house built in Adams county.
Manchester was the first seat of JUS

story log building-was erected at
Washington, on the Ohio river.
West Union became the county seat
in 1904. An unsuccessful effort was
made to remove it to Manchester in
1876, The last building, handsome
brick structure, with all the county

same site, is to be modern in all ap-

Is Something Behind the Arrest
of Labor Leaders.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Declaring that the
arrest of the six labor leaders was
only an incidental move by the coal
barons of the Irwin fields to crush the
costly strike that has existed in that
field since last March, attorneys for
the operators revealed what they as
sert is the master stroke planned by
the powerful clique of employers,
namely, the institution in the federal
courts of criminal charges against
other mine owners, jointly and sep
arately with the strikers, charging re-
straint of trade. Indictments, 1t is
said, will be asked in blanket form
against both organized labor and rival
coal operators and separately against
the operators.

MUST HELP WIFE
TOF|GHT TEMPTER
HUSBAND WILL LOSE HIS STAND
ING l.I COURT OF LAW IF
HE DOES NOT.
new DOCTRINE IS LAID DOWN BY JUDGE
Man Who Thought He Was Entitled
to More Damages for Alienation
of Wife's Affections Is Sat
Upon by Chief Justice.

Trenton, N. J.-That a husband
tempter on pain of losing his stand
ing in a court of law was the doc
trine laid down by Chief Justice
Gummere in the supreme court of
New Jersey. Because Oscar 1nger-
leid of Paterson failed in that re-
apect the court held that the verdict
of S400 damages for alienation
against Edward Bullen, the other
man in the case, was sufficient. The
doctrine, stated by the chief justice
himself, was said to be a departure
from the jurisprudence of the state.
From the facts CLEANED from the
decision Ingerleid made up his mind
in 1908 that he would take his wife
on a trip to Pennsylvania; whether
or not he was certain that she would
not go when he asked her was not
stated. Nevertheless he Sroposed the
trip. She did refuse or failed to go.
He packed his grip and left the
house. However, he did not go far.
But late at night he returned to the
house unexpectedly and found the de-
fendant and his wife together. Suit
for alienation was begun and ver-
dict of $400 was obtained from the
jury which heard the evidence. But
the husband thought he was entitled
to more. And this is what the chief
justice has to say on that point:
ut would be going too far to say
that the action of the plaintiff in this
case justified the conclusion that he
actually connived in his wife's down
fall. A husband may properly watch
his wife whom he suspects of i'm.
proper conduct in order to obtain
proof of the fact, and such conduct
on his part does not constitute con-
nivance. He is not justified, how
ever, in making opportunities for her
to violate her vows, and this the
plaintiff in the present case very
plainly did instead of trying to hold
her. To aid her in the hour of her
need, he stood aloof and left her to
fight her temptation alone, and at the
last himself created the opportunity
for her fall"

the president continuing to deal
squarely with both factions of the Re.
