Niles M0lders
Still Out.

There Is no change in the situa-
ton of the strike of the molders of
the Niles plant. All Of the men are
now members Of the Iron Molders'
Union with the exception of six.
These men are very busy trying
to get the union men to attend the
meeting held by them daily at the
residence of Bull Bierman on the
West Side But the boys say nay,
nay, nix on that kind of stuff. To
date there hasu' been lick struck
in the shop and the men say there
will not be until satisfactory ad-
iustment is made of the existing
differences. The men have arrang
ed for base ball games for each
Tuesday and Friday during the
strike. The game Tuesday between
the molders and apprentices resulted
most disastrously for the molders.
The returns are not all in yet but
as soon as the scorekeepers have
the figures compiled the result will
be published The apprentices say
that while the elder fellows may
think they know Ii all, as ball play
ers they make good molders Many
business men have been very kind
to the boys in seeing that they have
base balls, bats. cigars, refresh.

are grateful.

Columbus, O., June 12.-Through
the refusal of the Anti-Saloon League

brought out to-day that the struggle
will go on in Ohio this fall. The pro

devotion to patriotic purposes of the
enormous sum spent in the canyasses
of the two partisan groups came from
neutral sources and was welcomed by
the Liberals and rejected by the Pro.

the estimates that each OF these cam

The response for the Liberals was

Those whom represent have full
confidence that. should statewide pro-

Of Ohio would for the third time in four
years reject it.
Irrespective Of this confidence and
impressed with matters of greater mo-
ment we acquiesce in the suggestion
contained in the 'etter of Colonel f. w.
Galbraith that campaign for state
wide prohibition this year will be
wasteful of the time, energy and
