WAGE REDUCTION
IS AGREED UPON
At a Conference of Those
Representing the Window
Glass Business.

PlTTSBURG, Pa, May 1S-The
Glassworker says today that at the
conference OF the manufacturers and
workers wage committees, held in
Cleveland last Saturday, it was
agreed that the workers take 5 per
cent reduction in wages from the
fiat scale, effective from May ~ to
June . inclusive. The removal Of
all limits on the number of rollers
per hour was also agreed TO. Size
OF single strength glass to be 40x60,
or the equivalent in square inches,
and that for every point the selling
price advances above 90-35 single
and 9O-45 double, wages are
TO be advanced one per cent The
increase is to be based on monthly
sales of factories represented by the
wage committee,
Those working hoater holes are to
receive the average pay OF single
strength places on the tank and thel
last two rings on each side OF the
tank are considered as Aoater rings.
1t was also agreed that blowers and
gatherers should work without
when necessary and receive
snappers wages when so
doing.
Affairs in the window glass world
are moving along slowly and up toI
the present time there has been no
unusual rush for glass. 1t is re-
ported that another plant in the
Kansas district, of 3O-blower capac-
ity. has gone out of blast. and the
SO-blower factory at Fairchance,
Pa, has also joined the list OF non
producers. 1t is stated that the
tanks at both places were badly in
need of repairs. This makes total

JUDGESHIP
QUESTION IS
BROUGHT UP
Again in, Connection With the
4 Fourth Circuit of the
Court of Appeals.
BILL MAY BE PASSED.
AT the Next Regular Session
of the Congress Of the
United States.

WASHINGTON, De c., May l2-
The proposition of creating an ad-
ditional judgeship for the United
States reuit court OF Appeals for
the Fourth circuit, OF which West
Virgin Is part, is again being
ag tated and 1t Is not improbable
that a b.l for the creation Of the ad-
diticfal judgeship will be intro
duaed q. the regular session OF Con-
gres5 next winter.
OF the nine circuits IN the United
States, the Fourth is the only one
with 'ess than four judges, while
several OF them have four. The
Fourth circuit consists OF the two
virg Mas, the two caroiinas. and
Maryland. West Virginia has Judge
Nathan Golf on this bench and
North Carolina has Judge Jeter c.
Prichard. The business OF the cir
cult has increased rapidly in the
last few years and lawyers from all
over the circuit are urging the addi-
ton of another Judge to the cir
cut.
The bill probably would have been
adopted at the last session of Con
gress but for the fact that so many
applicants were found for the ap-
pointment, each with such strong
backing, that 1t would have proved
embarrassing to the President to
have had to select Judge from
among them Whether the same
condition would obtain again or not,
should the BIZ be introduced again,
is not known but the lawyers of the
circuit seem to want the additional
judge and the matter is likely to as
sumo some definite shape at the reg
ular session.

one OF the liveliest little cites To-
Gated at the mouth OF Fishing creek

AS it is, the prospects of the new
road has greatly stimulated bust
ness. Property Is being taken up at
better price than it has brought
since the early days Of the Short
Line. New industrial activity seems
to have taken hold Of the town, and
with the assurance that the govern.
ment will give the contract for the
Ohio river dam at this place within
the next few weeks almost every,
body here feels that we have a rowr
to be proud Of.

For Boy Scouts of America
Will Be Issued the First
of June.

The hundreds Of thousands Of Boy
scouts throughout the country will
be greatly pleased to learn that the
new Manual of the Boy Scouts OF
America will come from the press on
June !, and that at the same time
the new badges also Will be ready.
The Editorial Board, Of which Mr..
W. D. Murray is chairman, an
nounces that all the chapters have
been completed and will go to the
printer within few days.
The Manual covers almost every
activity Of interest to the active.
growing boy. 1t treats of life in the
woods, games. chlvalry, citizenship,
life-savlng and first aid to the in
jured and tends to make the boy
healthful, alert and wholesome. IT
will be OF unusual interest to the
boys. While the old Manual was
written chiefly by one or two men
and largely adapted from the Man
ual prepared by Sir General Robert
Baden Powell, the originator OF the
Boy Scout Movement, the American
Manual has been prepared by many
men, every one of whom is an ex-
pert in his special line.
Among the interesting features of
the new Manual will be subjects
which never before have been treated
in a manner suitable for boys. Ten
or twelve Of the ablest Government
EXPERTS in washington have prepared
this material. They have spent much
time in writing these articles because
of their interest in the Scout Move
ment and because the subjects on
which they write have not been
placed before the boys hitherto in a
popular vein.
For instance, there will be articles
on insects, and shells, never be-
fore treated in manner that would
appeal to boys. In the same style, ex-
perts in the Geological Survey, the
Smithsonian Institute and Depart
ment of Agriculture, and various
other bureaus in Washington have
written articles Such subjects as
fish, birds, rocks, flowers, butterflies
and the art of angling will be dis
cussed thoroughly.
The new Manual is arranged in
nine chapters. The first chapter by
John L Alexander, expert in boys
work, treats, in a new manner Of
"Scoutcraft and How to Become n
Boy scout" woodcraft, by Ernest
Thompson Seton, member Of the Ma
tional Audubon Society and Govern
ment Experts, is chapter No. 9. The
next chapter deals with "Campcraft
and outdoor Life by H. w. Glib
son, Boys Work Secretary, of Massa-
chusetts, and Arthur A. Carey, of
Cambridge, Mass. Tracks, Trailing
and signaling" by Seton, takes up a
chapter. Health, Endurance and Hy-
giene," by Or. George ]. Fisher, Of
the International Y. NJ, c. A.; "Chiv-
airy: Ancient, American and Modern
Knighthood," by Alexander; First

Charles Lynch, medical director of
the American Red Cross; Commodore
William L. Longfellow, U, S. volun-
teers Life-saving Corps, and H. w
Gibson, take up other chapters Chap
ter No. s treats Of Games and Ath-
letic Standards by Seton, Lee r
Hammer, associate director of the
Child HYGIENE Department of the
