BREWERS WILL TRY
T0 LEESSEN El
Adopt Resolutions to Eliminate
Some of the Vices Growing
out of the Saloon.
SOCIAL EVIL 1S CONDEMNED
Genera! and Thorough Housecleaning
for Undesirable Saloons Favored.
Milwaukee. — The United States
Brewers association at its closing ses-
sion adopted a platform of principles
in which it pledges itself to the aboli-
tion of the immoral saloon and to the
cause of temperance in the use of in-
toxicants.
In discussing the resolutions H. B.
Scharman of Brooklyn, declared that
the social evil is to be condemned
wherever it flourishes, and demanded
to know why the saloon should be iso-
lated in connection with it.
“The trouble is not,” retorted
Joseph Uihlein of Milwaukee, when
Mr. Scharman had finished, “that
these resolutions are not too strong,
but that they are not strong enough.
These low saloons are breeding spots
for all sorts of crimes and criminals.
We do not wish to condone any of
them. The criminal report should be
eliminated in this country from any
connection with the business of the
brewers.”
This sentiment prevailed and the
resoluticns were adopted as pre-
« Sented.
A letter from the “committee of
fourteen” of New York, for the pur-
pose of eradicating evils under the
Raines law, sent a letter to the con-
vention making encouraging reports
of progress.
The hoard of trustees unanimously
recommended that George Oberman
of Milwaukee and N. W. Kendall of
New Haven be elected honorary mem-
bers of the association. This was
carried. :
Colonel Schwarts of Buffalo, spoke
strongly in favor of earnest and active
efforts in the direction of a general
“housecleaning” against the “undesir-
able saloon.”

To Probe Telegraph Concerns.

| Los Angeles, Cal.—Reluctant admis-

cities tend to confirm the belief that
the disappearance of a registered mail
pouch somewhere within the jurisdic-
tion of the Kansas City postoffice will
prove to be one of the largest losses
in the history of the Postoffice De-
partment.
From private source it was learned
that a package of at least $50,000 in
currency was among the contents of
the pouch, which carried, in addition,
an unusually large number of letters
and packages containing money and
other valuables. The amount can
only be conjectured, but it may reach
$100,000.
The pouch was in transit from Los
Angeles to’ New York, and the postal

Findlay, O.—The circuit court re-

against the Standard Oil Company

SUIT BEGAN 30 YEARS AGO
Claim Growing Out of Controversy
Over Land Title Is Reduced
to $860,000.
Toledo, O.—The estate of James
Compton was given judgment against
the Wabash Railroad Company for
$860,000 by
in United States circuit court. The
claim grew out of a controversy over
the title of the part of the Wabash
road between
State line and also the ownership of
certain shares: of stock.
The original Compton claim, now
scaled down, was so large that, sever-
al years ago there was much talk of
the Goulds abandoning that portion
of the Wabash between Toledo and
the state line. James Compton was
a resident of Washington, D. C., and
the suit was instituted monf€ than a
third of a century ago. The case has
been prosecuted by the widow, Ellen
Compton, to whom the judgment will
be paid.
AN ENORMOUS CROP OF FRUIT
Largest in the United States for a
Long While Will Be Grown
This Year.
Washington, D. C.—The crop report-

to make glad the hearts of house-

the market this summer and fall more
fruit of all kinds than the country has
known for. a long while. Apples,
peaches, blackberries, raspberries,
:antaloupes, watermelons, cabbage
and onions this year show an over-
flowing abundance.
Last year only 37.4 of the whole
peach crop survived. This year '73
per cent will reach the market. There
is a 16 per cent increase in apples. A
bumper crop of blackberries and rasp-
berries is assured. There is an in-
trease of 11 per cent in watermelons,
5 per cent in onions and 6 per cent in
rabbage.

New York.—Announcement was

| man of the United States Steel Cor-
| poration, that a general reduction in
the price of finished steel products
had been agreed upon by representa-
tives of the large steel interests after

prices on all finished steel products,

Reductions Agreed To.
“Flach of the steel manufacturers
expressed the opinion that there
should be a readjustment in the prices
after their respective commodities as
follows: Billets, from $28 per ton
to $25, Pittsburg: sheet bars, from
$29 per ton, to $27 per ton, Pitts-
burg; plates, from $1.70 per 100
‘pounds to $1.60 per 100 pounds, Pitts-
burg: structural iron, $1.70 per 100
pounds to $1.60 per 100 pounds, Pitts-
burg; merchant pipe, a reduction of
two points, or $4 per ton, Pittsburg;
wire nails, from $2.05 per 100 pounds
to $1.95 per 100 pounds.
“Sheet and tin plates were reduced
early in the year; therefore no
changes were considered in the prices
of these products.
“It is hoped that these changes will
not necessitate a general or radical
readjustment of wages, which it is
desirous to avoid.” |

PRICE CUT IS APPROVED
Business, Says Iron Trade.
Cleveland, O.—The Iron Trade Re-
view says:
The action of the steel manufact-
urers in reducing prices of billets,
sheet bars,- platés, structural shapes,
merchant pipe and wire nails was
made inevitable by the concession on
steel bars, and is welcomed by the
trade, as the finished material market,
with the exception of some increase
in contracting for steel bars, has been
stagnant during the past week. The
action was prompted by the strong-
est dictates of wisdom and improve-
ment in demand can be reasonably ex-
pected.
Although the opinions of consum-
ers may differ as to whether some of
the reductions are adequate, the splen-
did crop prospects and improved
financial conditions furnish reason for
the belief that a large amount of buy-
ing ‘cannot long be delayed. It is
generally conceded that much good
had been accomplished by the success
of the price maintenance policy up to
the time of the reduction of the price
of steel bars.
Following the announcement of the
new price of steel bars, a fair amount
of contracting had been done.
In spite of the dullness in finished
lines the pig iron market has shown
increased strength. Although sales
have not been so numerous, and in-
quiry has decreased, the tonnage sold
has been of very fair volume. It is
not anticipated that the reductions in
the prices of ore will have any import-
ant effect on the pig iron market, as
pig iron prices have already sharply
declined. and an immense tonnage of
cre sold at the old prices is still on
hand. :
