Twelve Indicted for Periury--Taylor
County Pays ito Attorney

pers Consolidated in jackson -
Railroad Extension in Harlan.
TWELVE INDICTED

The Clark County grand jury has
returned twelve indictments against
witnesses testifying In the Callahan
conspiracy trials. As reported In
The Citizen last week the conspiracy
cases we're postponed, in order for
the grand jury tc' take up the accusa-
tons OF perjury against the witnesses.
Each OF the twelve persons swore
that he met and spoke to doc Smith
and Andrew johnson in Jackson on
the day that former Sheriff Callahan
was shot. They will be tried imme-
diately.
TO PAY ITS OLD DEBTS
Taylor County, Kentucky, has had
an Indebtedness Of something more
than $4,000 hanging over it for
about twenty years old railroad
bonds the people voted upon them
selves. These bonds became very un-
popular, and SO the county has been
without a sheriff for many years, be-
cause no one would qualify and under
take to collect the taxes to pay Off
the Indebtedness. Now, owing tn
prosperous conditions, it has been
decided to liquidate the bonds, and
a tax collector will be appointed for
that purpose.
BLAMES LEGISLATURE
The Attorney General last week
in a court briet states that the legis-
lators knew the condition of the
states finances, when they voted
appropriations at the last session. The
filing of the BRIEF is the states de-
Tense against J w. Newman, Com
missioner of Agriculture, in which
the Commissioner sought to have the
State Treasury stamp a warrant for
$4,000, appropriated for the State
Fair, as interest bearing.
The Attorney General claims tina,
the money was not appropriated ac-
cording to the Constitution or accord
ing to law, inasmuch as 1t would
cause the state TO incur an indebted
ness above the legal limit.

The Gospel meetings closed Sunday
night with over forty responding to
the appeal for seekers after God.
Throughout. the addresses were Of
high order. That they were well
appreciated was shown by the fact
that the great chapel was packed
every night with an audience that
showed intense interest. We cannot
here follow the sermons given IN
detail. but there was logical con-
tinuity. and a clear presentation of
the fundamental truths of the Cos
pei. On which all Christians are
agreed.
The address of each evening was
summed up in a motto over the ros-
trum. They were as follows:

There is great opposition to the

This note calle,i forth q bitter state

London. In which he upbraids the
Powcru for their want of consistency,
calling attention to their statement
four months ago that present bound

the result of the war. OF course,
when the statement was made Europe
thought the Turks would be the vic

meant that the Powers would not al

At the same time the four Govern
ments have delegated to DIR. s. Dan

ton, discretion TO break off all

In some circles Germany is blamed
for the prolongation of the delibera-

Electrical Workers Strike.

Members of the local organization
of Electrical Workers went on
strike this week in several of the
plants. Demands were made by
the electrical workers sometime be-
fore the flood for an increase in
wages, but the demands were
dropped by the union for six weeks
during the flood in order to give
the proprietors chance to revive.
The electrical plants effected are
Wente, Walker, Pfotzer and the
Hamilton Electric Co. The
Duersch Cycle Co., employ Union
labor and have agreed to give the
increase. Heretofore they have
been receiving 421a cents per hour,
and they now ask 81 cents per hour.
1t is said that Earl Greenwood is
the only electrician that has refused
to come out with the men. The
boys claim that they are going to
stay out until their demands are
granted.

u. S. Workmen Best.

Washinnton, May 23.-The Blu
reau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, at the instance of the House
ways and Means Committee; has
prepared comparative statement
covering seventeen industries III
Great Britain and the United
States. The statement shows that
the manufacturing establishments
in the United States have higher
efficiency, and that two and half
times as many wage earlers and
one-sixth more power are needed
in the United Kingdom than in the
United States to produce a net out
put OF equal value. Average wages
in the seventeen industries are only
half as high in Great Britain as in
the United States, although the
comparison shews that the wage
cost to obtain an equal value of net
output in Great Britain was l9 pei
cent higher.

COney's Opening.

Just few more night TO sleep,
and then dear old Coney Island
will open for another season. Sun
day will mark the formal opening,
Sunday May 25th, though the Ma
sons, their families and friends will
have possession of the Island on
Saturday, the guests of the Coney
Company. Thursday the Island
Queen will 60 to Louisville, max
ing a two days cruise down the
river, but the Queen will be back
in time to help the Princess Satur-
day and then get on the job regu
larly Sunday, for the entire season.
The two floods have hurled their
waters over the great Island resort
this spring, but an army of work
men have been on the job so dill
gently and incidentally many thou
sands of dollars have been spent
that the Island will be as bright as
a new pin and as delightful as ever
when the season of 1913 opens.
There are number of new at
fractions; each will be kept as
surprise until the opening day,
when thousands will flock to the
great steamers at the feot of Broad
way for their first ride of the year
to the JOY spot up stream.
There will be, of course, the
vaudeville, the clubhouse, the Mid
way attractions, the great special
features that have made Coney fa-
nous and then the new joybringers
The boats will, as of yore, paddle
up aud down stream daily during
the season, a season for which
plans have been made that mean
that Coney will have it's most de-
lightful year.

Carpenters.

The Carpenters Organization is
in good condition and grown each
meeting. We have received into
our organization during the last
three weeks by card and initiation,
thirty-eight new members. A large
number of transient men have drift
ed into the city since the flood and
about all of the good men are ap-
plying for membership. Three
men from prominent firm across
the river have come over into
Macedonia and applied for admis-
sion.
A new company is soon to fit up
the old Lyric into modern picture
theatre. This firm, unfortunately,
was advised to employ an unfair
contractor who started to change
the seating capacity without having
ascertained the fact as to whether
it was allowable by the State. The
inquiries made by the Theatre Com
pany in reference to the changes
making, threw them into direct
connection with the Business Agent
of the Carpenters who queered the
whole thing and stopped the job
When the work starts again a fair
firm will handle the carpenters end
and organized labor can safely pat
ronize the new company's theatre
when ready for business. We wish
them abundant success.

Bill For Minimum Wage.

Washington, May 23.-Repre-
sentative Ware of Pennsylvania has
introduced bill in Congress for
the betterment of labor conditions
among government workers. The
bill fixes 81 a day for men aud
ST.. so a day for women as the mini
mum wage for all employees of the
government, except those in the
Canal Zone and Philippine Islands.
The low age limit is fixed at four
teen years. No person under that
age could be employed by the gov
ernment if the bill becomes law
All existing rates OF pay established
by law at less than the rates stated
will be raised to meet the require
ments of the Ware bill. Not only
will government employees ages and
wages have to conform with the
minimum scale, but contractors on
government work would have to
furnish bond that the provisions
of the bill would be observed in the
making of any articles to be used
by the government. This bill will
be considered by the Labor Com
mittee when it is finally appointed.

To Abolish Taylor
System.

Boston, May, 23.-The so-called
Taylor efficiency system will be
abolished in the navy yards of the
country, by order of Secretary Dan
iels, according to statement made
last night by Congressman James
M. Curley, when addressing mass
meeting of employees of the Charl-
eston Navy Yard, where a strike
was threatened recently en- account
of the operation of the system.
This is the system that has been
fought by the Machinist's S Union
for many years. The abolishing
of this system is a great victory.
