TO FLOOD MICHIGAN,

Detroit, Mich, April The activ-
ity of the metal trades has become so
strong and effective that the employ
ers are resorting to desperate
methods. The employers of the State
are endeavoring to flood the State
with metal tradesmen for the sole pur-
pose of defeating the movement to
gain advances in !. wages and better
conditions. The usual result of tactics
OF this kind is to impoverish a large
number of workingmen. Scheming

Trolley Men Win

Buffalo N Y, April The strike
Of the trolley men in this city result
ed In complete victory. The traction
company has agreed to recognize the
street carmen's union, and it has been
further agreed that all employees are
to be returned to the service in the
positions and with the seniority for
merly held by them. 1t is further
agreed that all matters in dispute are
to be settled by board of arbitra-
ton. This board is to be composed
of three persons, the employees to Sc
lect one, the company one, and the
two are to select third. In case of
failure to select a third arbitrator
within five days, the mayor of the
city of Buffalo is to become the UNI
pire. It is then specified that eyi-
dence and arguments and a decision
shall be reached within eighteen days,
The findings of the board to be binding
upon both parties. There were nu-
merous reasons why the company f.
nally agreed to make a settlement.
The State Board of Arbitration had
begun its sessions, and the Attorney
Generals Office had begun an inves-
tigation. The county. officials had
S6IV0u uOttC0 on the company CnaL
they must pay for the troops being
maintained, inasmuch as the city and
county authorities had not demanded
them. The mayor had plans in opera
ton to force the company to run cars
or forfeit its franchise. The District
Attorney had arranged to arrest every
strike7breaker who took a car out if
he had not had Instructions for fifteen
days under competent men, for the
State law requires that men operating
cars shall have had this experience.
A settlement of this strike means
much to the Amalgamated< Association
Of Street and Electrical Railway EN-
ployes, as this victory has added
large number Of members to the or
ganization. The lines from Erie, Pa,
to Buffalo, east and west, are now or
ganized. All of the carmen of the
city Of Buffalo, including the shop
and sar barn men are also members Of
the union. Lockport. N. Y; Niagara
Falls, on both sides Of the river, and
another line from Buffalo to Hamburg
also comes under the agreement with
the union. The final total increase to
the union men will reach 5000. The
entire sympathy of the public was
with the trolley men from the start,
which aided materially in securing
the victory.

Judge Edwards was called upon
to perform the ceremony. He
frankly stated he did not care to
perform the ceremony but he
did finally consent to do so. The
judge forgot some of the YER
biage of the regulation proceeds
but made them pledge them
selves to a number of VOWS
which if observed will lead far
from the divorce courts. The
young couple were driven away
with their baggage in a motorcar
to take a train for a wedding
trip to Fl. Madison. Iowa. They
will be at home at Rothville in

then took the station for their

Living Coming Higher

1t seems that the cost of living
is to be further increased. The
price of baseball players of the
best type has arisen since 1911
from $22, 5000 to $40, ,0CO, just
about fifty per cent. If this
continues, the size of dividends
of club owners will shrink or the
public will have to pay more for
their amusement. 1t is reported
that Ty Cobb of Detroit has been
sold so New York for next year
for $4,000. The previous high
price was the purchase of Marty
0'Toole by Pittsburg from the
st. Paul in 1911.
