Slowness continues the chief char
acteristic Of the iron and steel mar
kets. Pig iron is very quiet. though
case iron pipe interests have bought
a little in the East. Copper is very
dull and prices are easier. Buyers
want bigger concessions than sellers
Will accord, and in consequence some
thing like a deadlock exists. PIG tin

today's early advances was accepted as
evidence of the markets thinness and
inability TO absorb much stock Bonds

part OF the business in these securities
was transacted by direct and private

Trading on the exchange dwindled in
the late session, but prices held fairly
steady, though the closing was at gen

on disappointment following the publica-

the Kokomos defeated the Carmels in
the Bangor Y. NJ. c. a. gymnasium
Thursday night by a score of % to 10.
1t was evident from the start that the
KokomoS intended 10 win the game
and that they were successful was due
TO the fact that Carmel failed TO throw
enough of the fouls which were called
on the Bangor team. The Carmel team
kept we'll within the rules, while the
local team was rough and careless
about holding and pcnaizcd 16 times.
but Carmel missed 13 Of the chances

Mr.. SMITH
REPLIES TO
CONTRACTORS
Building Trades Councils
President Denies Allegat-
tions Made By Contract
ors-Matters To Be Dis
cussed At Meeting.

II. P. Smith. president of the Asso-
cussng the Organization movement
among the various contractors all over
the county to protect themselves
against undue demands by the unions.
says that the fear of the contractors is
unwarranted. OF all the building trade
organizations, only one, according to
Mr.. Smith. is asking for an increase of
cations, excepting the plumbers. have
annual contracts and 1t would be out of
the question to violate any OF the con-
tracts.
The Building Trades Council holds a
meeting tomorrow night in Hammond,
In Rufus hall. the object of the meet
ing being to discuss this very problem
which the contractors say confronts
them, and also to appoint delegates to
conference with the contractors.
Mr.. Smith pointed out today a con-
dition to which the master plumbers
association subjects the public. 1t is
this, that master plumber will per-
nit any of his men to do any plumbing
work if the material for such work has
not been bought from a member of the
master plumbers association. Thus. it
will be seen that it avails man moth
ing to buy bathtub. for instance, from
a Chicago wrecking house. even If he
could get a half price. for none of the
local plumbers would connect the tub
for him
