 morning, but their services were hard
 ly necessary, for there was no evil dence of any trouble brewing. The
 strike leaders have been instructed by

 refrain from accosting any of those

 If no other result is obtained through the strike, we have succeeded
 in securing an increase for certain of the employees at the plant" said Ma than Monday. His statement was

BILL CHANGING TRICK
 WORKED TO PERFECTION
Local Store Buncoed Out of Sum O
 Money.

The old con game of bill changing worked to perfection in a local store Friday when a man purchased an ar ticle valued at 25 cents and gave the salesgirI a. $20 bill in payment. He was given the correct change and he then went to the cashiers desk where he asked if they swould give him a ten dollar bill for ten ones. The cash fer handed him the ten before getting the ones and he said he guessed he would prefer to have the twenty back which he had given in to pay flor his purchase. The twenty was handed to him and he gave in ten ones and $10 bill and left the store. The shortage was not discovered until the books were balanced at the end of the day. The game is an old one and would not have happened if the cashier had been particular to get the ten ones when handing him the ten dollar bill.
