THE BARRIERS STRIKE

Union BARRIERS made known their
demands and the purpose of the pres
ent strike at the meeting of the Jour-
neymen BARRIERS Association last
night at 18th street and Sawyer ave-
nue..
The unions are lining up most Of
the West Side shops and will center
their guns on the loop shops where
they will demand $15 a week and SO
per cent of all barber takes in after
$21. The BARRIERS are also out after
an anti-tipping ordinance.
BARRIERS, not hypnotists, are what
business men want. The barber who
tries to be too much of salesman
is driving thousands of men to the use
Of safety razors," said Chas. A. b.
den, sec'y of the BARRIERS Union, ANY
alderman who has been in a large
loop barber-shop would introduce an
ordnance against tipping"

caught with twenty packages of NOR
phine.
Whitley" Burke was the other to

George L. Reker, asst corporation
counsel, who is handling the city's

there were few drugstores in which
drugs could not be obtained if the
price was forthcoming.
within the next forty-eight hours
we expect to arrest at least twenty
more druggists on charges Of selling
cocaine or morphine without pre-
scriptionB," he said. There is a
very small percentage of drugstores
where one cannot get cocaine or
morphine if he goes about it rightly.

THE MEXICAN SITUATION

Washington, June 24.-Zacatecas
fell into the hands of the constitu-
tionalists on June 10 after hard fight
ing, according to word received here
from high authority in Tampico.
San Luis Potosi is expected to fall in
several days. Another big battle is
imminent at Querretaro, according to
this dispatch.
Niagara Falls, Ont.-Mexican me-
diation today offered two bookings
one perhaps near-serious, the other
admittedly social.
The first was full conference Of
mediators and delegates slated for
11:3O o'clock to draw up a protocol
covering all points except selection
of a provisional president, and settle
ment of Medco's internal affairs.
The rebel representatives are COM
ing here for informal conferences
with the Huertistas-with mediators
and American delegates as innocent
bystanders-was not entirely certain
today.

The sentiment of the crowd was
with the Republican speakers and
many left for their homes when
Hodges began. ..
Mr.. Gaines called attention to the
importance of electfng members Of
congress who favor a protective tar
if and said that every few years the
voters get the idea that the tariff is
a tax, that 1t encourages trusts and
keeps up the prices OF the necessi-
ties of life, but that each time q
Democratic national administration
gets into power laws are enacted
which paralyze the business Of the
country. He also pointed out that
both the Republicans and Progress
siyes favor a protective tariff, and
that by uniting they could control
Jthe government and not allow a mi
nority party to get into power as
was done in 1912.
Reports received at Republican
state headquarters from Fayettc
county indicate that the Republican
registration Is normal IN that coun-
ty. About half the precincts had re-
ported the registration with the fol-
lowing results: Republican, 27OO;

Reports from the various Pitts
burgh lumber companies indicate cur
taflment in operations, and further
reductions in output in lumber this
fall. Working forces at the saw
mills are being reduced throughout
the. West Virginia, Tennessee and
Carolina operations and because OF
the low value on lumber being
bought, wages will be forced down

Resolved, That

hSSUlFeuB l Hat
AS Layman's Association we re
cord our gratitude because Of the
growth Of our church In West Vtr-
ginia and the consequent contrtbu-
'tion that we have been able to make
toward the evangelization Of our
state, and the winning Of the world
to Christ.
We also note with satisfaction the
mighty service that is being render
ed by other branches of our Lords
church. And are gratified at tho
cordial relations existing between
'all evangelical denominations.
We believe that as a church we
ought to do our utmost to carry the
gospel to those not now within the
reach OF gospel privileges, and that
our extensive work ought to be con-
fined to such fields rather than to
localities which are already supplied
with. churches.
The unnecessary multiplication, OF
churches we believe to. be unfair to
our ministers, an unnecessary bur
den to our laymen and a hindrance
ito the progress of the Kingdom Of
God.
We desire to record our approval
Iof the New financial plan" and the
every member canvass, because it
makes more equitable distribution
of the financial burden and assures
generous support for all the boards
tof our church.
; We call upon all laymen to enter
heartily into the plan.
: We believe in the probationary
term necessary for membership in
bur church. and urge upon cur pas
tors more general use of this Pc
t,iod as school OF instruction to APP
plicants for membership.
New members thus instructed will
become more intelligent, and there
fore more useful and more stable
members.
| We further recognize the splendid
work of Sunday school in the prep
aration for intelligent church mem
tbership, and give our unqualified
approval OF the West Virginia Sum
day School Association in raising the
standard of Bible study and carrying
this work into every village and
hamlet in the state.

This firm of clock-makers has been

Since, under tile Sherman antitrust
act, it is impossible for clock conf

the expectation is that the Demo

thousand clock factory workers in
Connecticut alone out of employment.

Denver.-Employes OF the State
Public Utilities Commission are not
amenable to the civil service law.
Judge Allen of the District Court 80
ruled in granting Miss Grace Murray
writ OF mandamus directing State
Auditor Ready Kenehan to issue
vouchers for her salary as stenog-
rapher for the commission for the
months of August and September.
kenehan refused to sanction pay
ment OF Miss Murray's salary because
she had hot taken the civil service ex-
animation before she became stenog-
rapher for the commission. Contend
ing that the affairs of the commission
are not subject to civil service regu-
lation, which contention was shared by
members of the board itself, Miss
Murray's counsel instituted a test suit.
Judge Aliens decision was based on
he fact that the public utilities act
was passed after the civil service CON-
mission was created.
The attorney general gave notice
that he would apply to the Supreme
Court for writ of supersedeas.
