suit case between his knees.
Meanwhile Phillip. in the apartment
which had been turned into an office
for him. entered his record Of the
days business on fling cards and upon
huge diagram sheet then wrote a
long and careful letter. after which he
took pencil and paper from a drawer
in his desk and deived into numerous
books OF statistics.
II was nearing o'clock when a boy
brought ia two letters. One OF them.

Phillip, glancing at the letter again:

dropped 1t into the wastebasket with
q gesture of almost contempt; then he
opened the second letter, one addressed
in girls hand. but a firm one. This.
too. he read with a frown. but II was
one Of surprise. A ring Of the tele-
phone interrupted his musing.
"Mr. Rensselaer," he repeated into
the telephone. send him right up"
There came a knock at the door. and

Burgess Of Chicago, general superin
tendent Of the Republic Iron & Stee
company, was here last week and
signed a wage agreement with mem
bers Of the Amalgamated Association
of Steel, Iron and Tin Workers. Life
Of the agreement Is one year. No d. >
pute OF any kind arose and the matters
were settled in a very peaceful man
ner. The scale remains practically
unchanged. The Sylvan mills were
closed down for repairs and inventory.
They will resume operations July TO-
when the new scale of wages viii 80
into effect. Whether the entire force
will start WORK Is a matter to be de
termined at a later date. This hinges
entirely on the number of orders that
are received before that date.

niffed his intention of accepting the

There wasn't any question, but what
there was an active investment demand.
Belated investors of the nearly a
million dollars that was paid out in
dividends and interest with the first of
the year, and investors who have re-
ceived payments since then, and who
expect TO profit by the Gas Company's

were very active.

counted for by the sale by some holder
