RECEPTION TO MITCHELL

MI N!C1 l lo TO Fl R I S M BAND OF UK HINDKKi) PIECES. Committee of Sru-u muim1 to Preyare for Rrcept ion Affair of the Central Labor I u ion. The reception of John Mitchell, president of the United fclne Workers of North America, has been placed in the hands of a committee of seven from the Central Labor L'nion. At the m-tins of the union laßt night President FeUman In pursuance of a motion adopted appointed Conrad Streibeck. of the Electrical Workers' L'nion. William EwaM. of the Cigar Makers' Union, Roscoe Barnett, of Painters' Union. No. 47. Henry Btissenherz, of the Union. Frank Jirrard, of the Bottlers' l'nion, Martin O'Mara. of the Wood Workers' Union, and himself, ex officio, as the members of the committee in which plans for the reception will be formulated. When the subject was brought to the attention of the union Hnry Belssenherr, of the musicians' organization, said that although he did not speak officially and knew not what plana would be adopted by his association, he was pretty sure that the musicians would have a bras band of one hundred pieces to meet Mr. Mitchell at the Union Station and would play a triumphal march for him on his ride from the station to the place where the committee woukl hold a formal reception. The report of the grievance committee of the Central Labor Union was read, and in it was incorporated the strike of the tile workers at the United States encaustic tile works. At this plant, it is said by the strikers, the men who joined the local of the International Union of Tile, Brick and Terra Cofta Workers, recently established, were discharged, and this was called to the attention of L. P. McCormack, state labor commissioner, and he investigated the causes and rights in the strike. From the report of the grievance committee it seems that a vote on the question of unionism in this plant was" submitted to the workmen and It was found that 125 employes favored a nonunion shop, while 106 wanted a union organization. The vote was called by Superintendent Landera and President Cooper, and they have been talked to both by the grievance committee and Labor Commissioner McCormack. That the strike was the result of the discharge of six men from the plant was shown in the report of the grievance committee and was also stated by the delegates to Central Labor Union recently appointed by the new union Orlie Condlff and N. Stewartthrough President Brinkman. It was also stated by tnese representatives of the union that the vote taken at the plant was an unfair one. They asserted that in taking the vote the heads of the factory asked for a division of the employes, and that on their side 106 men all of the men were laboring men in the plant and on the side favoring the keeping out of organized labor from the factory there were women and boys and some men to the number of 135. The report of the grievance committee and the talks of the representatives of the union caused a discussion in which Mr. McCormack. Elward Sands, Edgar A. Perkins, Roscoe Barnett an others participated, and after much discussion of causes aad effects and propositions of boycott, which were voted down, a committee was appointed to look into the matter. Roscoe Barnett, Edgar Perkins and William F. Ewald were designated as a committee by President Feltman to go over the whole situation carefully and if they found that the plant had been unfair to the union to lay the facts before State Factory Inspector McAbert and request him to begin prosecution under the law protecting the right of workmen who belong to trades unions. IRON WORKERS' STRIKE. President Feltman reported that the committee appointed to lay before Mayor Bookwalter the troubles arising from the strike of the machinists at the works of the Indianapolis Drop Forging Company had seen the mayor and had been assured by him that the city government, through the police stationed there, were not discriminating between the strikers and the nonunion machinists who were working at the plant. The union moved an expense account of $1U0 to Michael J. Butler, the delegate from Central Labor Cnion to the convention of the National Federation of Labor to be held in New Orleans Nov. 13. It also received and passed a resolution condemning the proposed law being advocated by the Indiana Retail Grocers' Association, looking toward the repeal of existing laws and the enactment of a new law regulating the garnishment uf wages. The law which is not favored by many workingmen reduces the exemption of married men and allows the collection of 25 per cent, of their pay by one claimant, and thus, it was said by Mr. Perkins, representative of the Typographical Union, that if four complaints were filed, the whole of a man's wage might be taken from him, to the misfortune of his family and dependents. The complaint of the union carpenters that nonunion men were being employed at the Atlas engine works was found to be not due to the fault of the management of the plant and was so reported by B. F. Ewald and R. E. Groff. members of the grievance committee. Instead the subcontractors for carpenter work wre responsible for the action, and liugh H. Hanna had nothing to do with the emplryment of the men that caused the complaint, the report stated. CARPENTERS' HEADQUARTERS. D. L. Stoddard, of the Carpenters' Union No. 21. said at the meeting last night that if something was not done soon the national headquarters of the carpenters and joiners would not be moved to the city. The question of the removal from Philadelphia waa left to a referendum vote to the local unions .and if the efforts of the Indianapolis merchants and others interested in the removal was not directed to an influencing of this vote the headquarters would be lost. Mr. Stoddard suggested that Central Labor l'nion use its every effort to convince the local unions of carpenters throughout the "country of the good of this change, and he suggested that letters be sent to all of them. The Commercial Club and other bodies of the city want the headquarters, but Mr. Stoddard thought that in the six weeks in which the work will have to be done the efforts of the Philadelphia people to keep the headquarters there will be successful if Indianapolis is not more energeic 'in its effort for the headquarters. That the union hack drivers are becoming less every day was the statement of the representative from that union to Central Labor Union. He said that four months ago there were 400 union drivers in the city and there are now less than forty. He hoped that all union labor men would try to drive to funerals and other places behind union drivers and thus force the employment of them by the owners of vehicles. President Feltman. on behalf of the cigarmakers' union, of which he is a member, thanked the typographical union for insisting on the purchase of union-made cigars by its members and for the rule adopted which provides a tine for any member of It found smoking a trust cigar. He said that such concerted action on the part of labor unions is necessary to help the cigarjrakers in their tight against the cigar trust. REAL ESTATE SALES.

STEVENS DISMISSED PATROLMAN nil M) Gl I LT Y OF "WOHKIIG" SLOT MACHINES. Saloon Keepers In the irinity of the l'nion Station Complained Municipal Affairs. Patrolman B. R. Stevens, who has been assigned to duty at the l'nion Station for some time, was dismissed from the service yesterday by the Board of Public Safety on charges of conduct unbecoming an officer. Stevens was accused by a number of saloon keepers with boring holes in nickel-in-the-slot machines and working them with a wire and also with using lead slugs In place of nickels to "work'' them without touching secret springs inside. The testimony was conclusive that Stevens had been guilty and the board did not hesitate in dismissing him. The board expressed astonishment that the patrolman had not arrested those having the machines exposed in their places instead of attempting to "beat" them. Chairman Keller said he was positive Instructions had been given the police to drive all these machines out of business. Stevens said he had received no instructions from Sergeant Schroeder, who was in charge of the district in which he was assigned. Complaint was made by a number of saloon keepers about the Union Station that Stevens had "worked" their machines. Most of them testified before the board yesterday. Their testimony disclosed the fact that slot machines had been running for some time in a number of places without police molestation. At the Sherman House, the Union Station Hotel bar and John R. Cress's place the machines had been tampered with by Stevens. At Victor Hellmtr s saloon on North Senate avenue a machine had been bored with a gimlet and its "pot" emptied. Hellmer's ehildrea detected Stevens at the work. Stevens when testifying said he had not received any orders from any source, not even from Sergeant Schroeder, who is supposed to repeat roll call Instructions to the l'nion Station patrolmen to interrupt the slot machines. He said he had once worked in a shop where slot machines were repaired and had become familiar with their workings. He said he had told about tifty people how to work the machines, but had not worked any himself. Money for Cottage Work. Mrs. John L. Griffiths, president of the Flower Mission, called "on Mayor Bookwaiter yesterday to learn if the $1.000 appropriated for the maintenance of the incurables' ward established by the mission at the City Hospital, and which is now in thf first stages of construction, would be available for assisting in cottage work now being dene by the mission before the ward is completed.

He alleges negligence on the part of the operators of the street car in not stopping the car in time to prevent the accident instead of relying on the child getting out of the way.

Performance of Legal Obligations. Plaintiffs contracted with defendants, a company which owned a salmon canning factory in Alaska, to perform service as sailors in navigating a vessel from San Francisco to such plant and return and in catching and canning salmon while there, during the season, for which they were to receive a stipulated compensation. After reaching the plant they refused, without cause, to further perform the contract, unless defendant's superintendent signed an agreement to pay additional compensation. He stated that he had no authority to do so, but being unable to procure other men, owing to the remoteness of the place and the shortness of the season, he compiled with their demand and a second contract was signed. Identical with the first, except as to the compensation to be paid. Held, that an agreement to pay additional compensation for services which plaintiffs were legally bound to render under the old contract was void for want of consideration, conceding the superintendent's authority to make it, there being no Just ground to claim, under the circumstances shown, that defendant voluntarily waived the breach of the original contract. 117 Federal Rep. (California, Judge Ross), 99. Street Railways. Transfers. Passengers. A passenger on a street car on which the company issued transfers to its various connecting lines, received from the conductor a transfer to a line other than the one to which he had requested one. Not noticing the mistake he presented it to the conductor on the line to which he had requested a transfer, who refused to accept it. The passenger declined to pay further fare and was ejected from the car. Held, that since the passenger was under no obligation to make a technical examination of the transfer, and since the company was responsible for the mistake of its agent, it was liable In substantial damages for the breach of contract occasioned thereby, though the conductor called upon to correct the mistake was not the one who had made It. 70 Pacific Rep. (Washington, Judge Dunbar), 118. Divorce. Delay in Instituting Proceedings. Where a husband delays to brig suit for divorce for adultery for twenty-five years after discovering his wife's infidelity, the fact that she has been residing abroad and he In the United States during such time, was no excuse for the delay; he having known of her residence at the time of the discovery, and having been in a position to ascertain it ever since. 53 Atlantic Rep. (New Jersey, Judge Stevens), 4. Husband and Wife. Conveyances. A transfer by a husband to his wife of his interest in his deceased father's estate, in consideration of her discontinuing divorce proceedings against him. is not based on a sufficient consideration as against the husband's creditors, and the conveyance may be set aside to satisfy creditors' executions against the property. 91 Northwestern Rep.. 690 Humors of the Law.

Joshua Staasfleld Discusses the Traflle In Hum. A well-attended and decldely enthusiastic meeting of the Prohibition Alliance was held last night at Alabama and New York streets. During the first part of the meeting a sort of experience session was held. The members grew exceedingly enthusiastic, and "amens" were a prominent part of the evening's meeting. A number of candidates responded to their names, but the meeting was mostly devoted to hearing from new members of the organisation, many of those who spoke being first voters. All answered the question "Why am 1 a Pi hibitionist?" The Rev. Joshua Stansfleld, pastor of Meridian-street Church, was the speaker of the evening, and he discussed the question "Why I am a Prohibitionist." He spoke of the increased drunkenness and strongly opposed the selling of liquor Illegally. The speaker said that an organized wrong should be opposed by an or-

Indiana's Leading Distributer of Furniture, Stoves and Carpets. W. H. MESSENGER Southeast Corner Washington and Delaware Streets.

Sole Agents ganlsed association. Dr. Stansfleld made much of the point that the person who contributes most character and influence towards the perpetuation of the evil is most responsible for its continuance. For Foreign Misstons. New York Evening Post. A little New Hampshire town has earned the right to boast, if it wants to, that it has made larger contributions to foreign missions, for its size, than any other community on record. Just now, however, the town is not bragging about it, but is rubbing its eyes, uncertain whether to laugh or cry, for the fact Is, the contribution, which amounted to the fine sum of $13,000, was made indirectly rather than voluntarily. Here is the way it came about: There lived In this community two aged sisters whose means of subsistence appeared to be very limited. Their neighbors, however, took a friendly and helpful interest in their welfare, and saw to it that they did not lack for the comforts of life. One would haul their wood, another would cut and split it, and others would contribute of the abundance which the earth supplied, so thst in amount and variety these aged women found life by no means a very serious problem. A little time ago they died within a few days of each other. Then the town woke up with a start, for in the settlement of the affairs of the sisters it was learned that they had left $12,000 to foreign missions. While their neighbors had been supplying them with the necessities tin y had been quietly tucking away the money thus saved to them. Of course, the contribution is really made by the town, and it ought to have the credit for it. Foreign mission papers please copy. As Old Age Creeps On Men and Women Can Keep Themselves Hale, Vigorous and Happy by Using Paine's Celery Compound The human system in old age must have a sufficient store of nervous energy and rich, nourishing blood, so that the liver and kidneys may be kept in perfect action and the body free from pain. Paine's Celery Compound is the true invigorant when old age creeps on and the vital powers commence to fall. Paine's Celery Compound gives the needed stimulus to digestion and assimilation that the system requires; it maintain a regular supply of pure blood, and removes such troubles as rheumatism, neuralgia, nervous weakness, heart palpitation, liver complaint and digestive disturbances that makes the lives of old people miserable. Rev. John Rice, Scotch Grove, la., says: "My wife and I have used two bottles of Paine's Celery Compound with great advantage to our general health. It cured her rheumatism and proved a good regulator of the system in general and a tonic for the nerves. In my own case I have found it a cure for kidney trouble arising from old age. as I am now in my seven tytifth year. In this trouble it has given me almost instant relief.''
