Charles Leach. of No. 514 Grant

hand this morning by bird dog own
ed by him which was suffering from
blind rabies
Another red water spaniel which

Later a dog which had been bitten
was killed at the same place by a
park guard.
The spaniel was first noticed early
this morning by Patrolman Bradford
at Eleventh and Walnut streets where

Ion keeper at Eleventh and Kirkwood

tainly he added, il any such agree
ment as Mr. Connolly speaks of we're
in existence its effect would be mani
fest on a contract Of such great pro
portion
Mr.. Mellon said many other things
tending to disprovo what Mr. Connolly
had said There was one statement
in particular 10 which he referred
That was that the average journey
man plumber, hrst-class mechanic. Is
the poorest paid man on a job. Mr.
Mellon said that was utterly untrue
as the average wage for such me-
chanic is S2l a week. In many in
stances even more than that is paid.
That is higher. he said, than Is paid
to many other mechanics engaged in
the building trades. Plumbers. i'm ad-
dition also enjoy the advantage of
losing little or no time on account of
bad weather.
In fact Mr. Mellon said Mr.. Con-
nollys statement read in court, is so
full of gross inadequacies and un-
fair and unwarranted insinuations
that It would have to be taken up line
by line in order to deal with them.
He does not think that the situation

Mr. Mellon was also equally frank
in admitting that the legality Of those

Relative TO the specific charges

The president Of the local associa-
