tho agreement between tho National

Tho nine-hour day his company is
willing to concede, In accordance with
tho agreement between the two bodies,
the Allis-Chalmera concofn being one
of tlte llrms in tlie Metal Trades' as

swer to his men embraced a liberal
offer, but one of an entirely different
nature and wholly In variation with
the joint demands which have 'been
made upon the employes. None of tho
propositions made so far are satis
factory to the employes and a strike
seems sure this morning, when the
men report for work and do not find

CHAIRMAN CAMPHHLL'S VIKWS.
Chairman Campbell, of the council
of allillatcd employes, declares, how
ever, that tho action taken by ilio
Scranton men In rejecting llio arbitra
tion offer and Insisting on a direct
reply Is sustained by President' O'Coli
nell. Ho also slated that President
Zehntler's offer, made to a committee of
his own men at tho Hotel .Teriuyn,
could not be consldeied for an Instant.
A mooting of tlie council was held,
Saturday night nnd Iu view of the gen
eral foverlsli conditions which will pre
vail today, it was decided not to liavo
any mooting until tomorrow, when a
geneial mass meeting will bo held.
Tho tdiikc movement has met with
a nluiiihliug block at llichmoiid, Va,,
where the Llciuuoiid Locomotive works
Saturday refused to gianti tho men's
demand for a nine hour day. Tho men
mot after the company's answer was
received and decided to return to work
this morning under the old conditions.
Tho machinists of the Lehigh rail

stated. MISSIONARY WORK TO UKOi.W
Tii-day the men expect to hear from
Hubolecn, and the other places along
the route. Tho machinists will to
day inaugurate their scheme of mis
sionary wenk among the imports.
Tho huge ience surrounding the paint
.shop, iu which they are quarleied, and
their giiai d of one hundred and tlfly
deputies are but slight obstacles to the
strikers, who declare they will liy kites
in to tho New Yorkers, bearing at tlieir
tails union literature and documents
expressive of the local situatuin, which
will he liberated by .1 stiing altnchod
when the Lite is floating over the
shops. It was repented yesterday'
tliat thltty-six out of forty bridge
builders eniplojod by tho company
nsigiied lather than be ptessed into
service as specials, as requested Sat
urday night.
To-day is the ciiicial period of tho
strike. If at this last moment the big
manufacturers post polices granting
the strikers demand., there Is no
doubt that tlie smaller firms such as
the Finch Manufacturing1 company,
and McClave & Brooks, will follow
suit. There seems to bo little likeli
hood of tills, however, and all parties
eoncerived nro at present girding them
selves for what looks like a long and
hard fight.

The end of the first week of tho con
test showed live contestants who have
returned points. Tho three loaders who
wore ahead on Saturday morning tire
still in their relative positions, although
Mr. Schwcnker and" Mr. Hrunner both
gained on Mr. Meyer, who did not
bring lu any additional points. Mr.
Schwenkor, of South Scranton, brought
In 17; Air. Rrunner, of farbondnle,
added to his score by t, and Mr. Kein
inerer, ot Fnctoryvllle, returned 7,
going from llfth place to fourth, and
he is now but one point behind Air.
Meyer.
The coming week will undoubtedly ho
an Intel estlng one, for there will bo
some new names among the list of
leaders. The scores ate made up nt ."
o'clock each afternoon and nil who
have not teported by thou must wait
an extia tiny to have their revised
totals printed.
The llrst week eif tlie contest demon
strated the fact that theie aie a large
number of young men and women who
are lonliy In earnest iu a desire to im
prove themselves intellectually. Of this
ambitious noitiim of the community
some have taken the Hist step In
the right direction by enteiing tlieir
names as participants In The Tribune's
Kducntlonnl Contest, which was devised
to provide a means to gtatlfy ambitious
young people and to eipon a pathway
for them to Head that will lead onward
and upward to a betiding of their con
dition anil themselves.
One young man who was among the
llrst to enter wished to willuliaw Ills
name later in the week, tor the leason
that as he was employed alt day. ftoni
S to 3, he would not stand much chance
of getting among tlie leaders, who, lie
supposed, had plenty of leisnie time to
follow up their canvass. For an an
swer, he was show it the list of last
year's winners, each of whom, with hut
one exception, who was not near tlie
top, had regular employment and
used their evenings In tho woik of
tho contest with gooil lo.siilt.s. in
stead of spending' them lo.iling about
the streets. This year's leaders, so far,
are all working regularly in dlffeieut
places nf employment and ate not only
attending strictly to tlieir vocations,
but are deriving help troiu such action
in the contest, for their friends and
acquaintances know that they would
not forego relaxation in their leisure
hours If they were not iu gieat earn
est to help themselves up to a higher
plane of usefulness. These fi lends ad
mire manliness and recognize it In
substantial help.
There are many who should be in
tills contest nnd are not, for vaiious
reasons, ono of the principal ones being
that their attention lias not been called
to It, nor do they know of the splendid
offer made to them by The Tribune,

CIRCUS IN WASHINGTON.
Wnllpce Shows Made a Big Hit in
the National Capital.
The Great Wallace Shows, which ex
hibit lu Scranton soon, recently visited
Washington City, U. C. The Post of
that city said: "If theie is any city
which is a belter show town than the
national capital, if is not down 011
tlie mai. The Wallace Show pleased
two big tin ougs yesteiday, many peo
ple being tin tied away. Tlie circus
was a Mii-cci-s, both lor the manage
ment and for those who wanted good
entertainment. The e-ity was turned
over almost enliiely to the big atturc
tion. The progiamine comnienceil
promptly and In earnest from the
start. No one but tlie child whose llrst
visit It was to a circus could possibly
loll all that was down. Hardly any
thing could have been more i under
fill than tlie aciobatic feats performed
by tlie justly celebrated Nelson family,
and especially of tho five-year-old
tot."
The (It eat Wallace Shows will ex
