Weinstock told frankly the amount of
ices he received in three notable labor
cases. In the coal strike case, to which
he gave four months time. he said. his
fec was $4,000. For defending Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone in the spec
tacular trial at Boise City. TO which
ne gave eighteen months time. he re-
ceived $4,000. In the Mcnamara case
at Los Angeles he got $4,000 for
six months work. but he had to spend
all that money and eighteen months
time in defending himse.f from the
charge of attempted jury fixing.
On the whole. he said. he had not
made money out OF his labor cases and
he found himself. after thirty-seven
years at the bar In a financial condition
that forced him to keep up his active
practice.
Mr.. barrow gave the commission nu-
merous epigrammatic expressions In
summing up his views on social. political
and industrial questions, Among them
were
Everybody boycotts the thing he

REVISION MEETING.

The fair board has called an all day
meeting for Tuesday January 5th to
revise the premium list. All members
of the society and friends of the fair
are requested to attend. There are
those who have found fault because
something at the fair did not meet
their. expectations. Many say the
premiums are too small and that too
much money goes for races. Some
say big Free Attractions are what we
need.
Many have thought to compliment
the fair by saying that we have one
of the cleanest fairs in Ohio. Others
complain that the fair is too much like
a Sunday school.
Some say make it all races. Others
say cut out all racing and have an
agricultural fair. Truly, "Many men
of many minds"
1t may be of interest to the public
to know that $1,273.86 of the $2,400.24
paid out for racing last year was re-
venue derived from race entries and
grand stand receipts.

ing and will be thankful for helpful
suggestions.
