wheat and cotton win be the best crops

these will fail in some sections. The

crops will probably be short OF the

short crops in some sections.

partly due to the earth passing be-

Verona, Pa, May 13. - Notices
were posted last week in the steel
castings plant of the Standard Steel
Car company, at Verona, stating that
the regular day and night shift of men
employed there would be cut from
twelve to eight hours, but at the same
time the pay would remain the same.
This affects nearly 20 per cent of the
ESQ men employed in the shops and
foundry.
This voluntary move on the part of
this concern, which is a branch Of the
steel trust, has caused considerable
discussion among the workers In

shortly before night.
