CUTLERY PRICE
WILL STAY UP
Sharp Instruments Won't Be
First to Lower the
II. G. l..

Sharp knives will not be the first
instruments used in cutting down the
high cost Of living, in the opinion Of
local cutlery dealers. There is little
price Of cutlery, they say
Any reduction in the cost of iron
and steel will have little or no effect
on the cost of production which is
based largely on the item of labor,
dealers assert, and there is no dispo-
sition to lower wages. .
Labor is perhaps the most essential
factor in the manufacture of cutlery
and when the price Of labor went up
it necessitated a raise in cost to the
purchaser. Until the cost OF labor is
lowered it will be impossible to make
any marked reduction in the price of
cutlery. 0--| u,

Charleston, W. Va, Nov. - fs party of 800 or 400 striking mine 7 left the Cabin Creek country ca ; today to march to Charleston, despite the rain and the orders of their dis trict officers forbidding the march, according to official information re- ceived here.
 There was no information as to whether the men were armed, and the purpose of the march was not made clear in reports received
 The men expected to march only as far as the end of the interurban lines, when, it was reported, they would take cars for the city.
 Many miners were in the streets here this morning, but they were or derly and quiet. Four hundged fed eraI troops who came in during the night from Huntington, were quar- tered in the armory, preparatory to leaving for their permanent camp in Kanawah City. All military informa- tion was refused by officers and men.

After applying for an injunction re- straining the West End theatre from showing a moving picture entitled, ''The Brat" counsel for the Liberty theatre on State street announced this morning that the petition would be withdrawn from the Common Pleas Court but that relief would be sought in some other court.

McManus, Jr., a member of the mayors committee on the zone system, to a Times representative this morning when asked what the com mittee was doing about protesting g against the zone rates.
 Tomorrow morning the zone system with all it's i'll timed and unwarrant- ed demands on the already overbur- dened publics pocketbook, will be here. From then on every man, woman and school child will be fore ed to pay exhorbttant rates for travel here.

 At a meeting Of the common coun- ell, several weeks ago, Mayor Wilson said he would take up the cudgel for the people and he appointed a com n1ittee to take care of the details and he would then cooperate with them.
 The committee was appointed and they have met but that, according to their own reports, is about all they have done. They have talked and written a couple of letters to Hart ford, New Haven and the Public Util- lities commission and that is all. While the system imposed on a grunDbling public will start here to- morrow and the committee have defi- nite plans to take care of this nothing has been done As far as can be as- certained the manufacturers of the city have not even been asked to pay the difference in fares for their en- ployes.

 ''too busy.'

Ldf Or Not For Twelve
 CCnl Fares
Lashar Report Shows How to Get the Five Cent Fare By Appeal to U. $. Circuit Court.

Members of Labor Unions through out the city are thoroughly aroused against the zone system which is to be inaugurated by the Connecticut company tomorrow. For the past two weeks the different unions in the city have taken decisive action at their meetings against the system and the action of the company has been de- nounced in no uncertain terms. The members have instructed their dele gates to the Central Labor Union to take such action as might be neces- sary to compel the company to re- scind its action and return to the old five cent fare.
 Speakers called attention to report Of the committee appointed by Mayor Wilson to investigate the conditions when the six cent fare was started and condemned the mayor for not taking action on the report signed by Walter B. Lashar which showed that the trolley lines in the city could make money on 8 five cent fare and that the increase was an injustice to the workingnen of Bridgeport.
 Every member was requested to at- tend the mass meeting which the Central Labor Union will hold at the Plaza this afternoon following the police parade.
 This meeting Is arranged as a pro- test by the workers of the city against the zone system and no politics will be allowed.
 ''The mass meeting arranged by the Central Labor Union for this after noon following the police parade at the Plaza, foot of John street. has ab- solutely no political significance and is simply what it is announced to be oF oF To Dor unions of the city to protest against the zone system on the tro1- ley cars and to endorse the cam paign for a return to the old five cent fare" said Fred Cederholm, organizer of the Machinists, today.

LETHARGY PREVAILS AT HEADQUARTERS 0F UNITED MINE WORKERS
Restraining Order Has Apparently B e e n Obeyed to Letter Miners Secure Ser vices of Attorneys May Get Alton B. Parker.

Indianapolis, Nov. From the scene of greatest activity in connection with the strike of approximately 100000 bitumi- nous coal miners, headquart- CTS of the United Mine Work CTS of America here has been transformed in the last 24 hours to perhaps the most lethargic.
 This is the result of the sweeping provisions of the restraining order is- sued yesterday by U. S. District Judge A. B. Anderson, compelling the miners officials to refrain from taking any part in conducting Or encoura ging the strike of miners, which, according to dispatches, has been carried out almost to a man among the unions of the coal workers of the country.
 Miners leaders at headquarters thus far, apparently have obeyed the restraining order to the letter. They not only decline to give out state ments and reports concerning the strike but will not discuss their plans for combating the action of the gov ernment in the courts, and unless the restraining order Is violated by some of those against whom 1t Is directed, miners headquarters probably will remain quiet, at least until the gov ernment's injunction proceedings again come up in the federal court Nov. 8.
