BLACKSMITHSDESIRE TO RAISE The Price of Shoeing HorsesAdvance In Shoes and Nails LEAVES LITTLE PROFIT For the Man Who Does the Work -Suggestions From the Trade Invited. There is a feeling among the blacksmiths of the city that they are; as poorly paid as any craftsmen for their work in shoeing horses. In fact there is said to be 80 little in the horse-shoeing business at present that the blacksmiths would rather do other work and let the horse-shoeing go altogether. The blacksmiths of the city have no union. They have attempted organization at times, but the scarcity of journeymen and the predominance of bosses is said to have resulted disastrously to the union.

W. W. Wade is a blacksmith whose shop is at North Washington street. He believes that the smiths of the city should raise the price of horse directly to The the reason advance he in assigns the price of materials which the blacksmith a shoes haa. advanced from $3 50 per cwt.

The freight and dray. age raises the cost still more. Nails have advanced 8 and 4 conte with prospects of going higher. Thisleaves too small a margin of profit for the price a charged for shoeing horse horses $1 all around and it is understood that some smiths have established the custom of giving liverymen 10 per cent. off.

It is, stated that the profit of shoeing was none too great when shoes and nails were cheaper, and that now there is nothing it it for the smith other than the holding of his customers until conditions are changed. Mr. Wade is of the opinion that the blacksmiths should get together and discuss the question of shoeing and see what can be done. He is in favor of raising the price of shoeing. Any suggestions that the sho*rs of the city may have to make will be given I publication cheerfully in THE NEwS.

Will Study Spanish. Miss May Serviss will leave about the middle June Durango, Mexico, where she will be the guest of an aunt and study the Spanish language. Miss Servisa is already quite a linguist, speaking different languages fluently. Shemay possibly he accompanied by Mrs. Stephenson and daughter, Mary.

Fight in West Marion. Two men engaged in a fight noar the Canton glass factory last evening. The names of the belligerents were not disclosed to the police. TO DEFY STRIKERS WORK WILL BE RESUMED By the Contractors WednesdayCarpenter and Brick tractors Talk. At least two of the contractors will resume work tomorrow in spite of the strike.

They are Philip Patton and Frank Gordon. All efforts to get together to confer with the carpenters have come to naught, and it is believed now that the atrike will not be settled at an early date. Mr. Gordon stated last night that he had work to do and that he proposed. to commonco it Wednesday morning.

Asked if he would employ non-union carpenters, Mr. Gordon stated that he would give the union men a chance, and if they refused, he would get whomsoever be could. Mr. Patton" said he bad made up his mind to proceed with his work. If the trouble is not adjuated with- in the next few days, a number of carpenters may leave the city.

One man said yesterday that was fered work in another city at better wages than he had been receiving here, but be had not yet decided to accept it. Speaking of the probability of carpenters being brought in from other cities, one man said that it WAS pot reasonable that men should come! here when they could make more money elsewhere. It is pointed out that the wage scale other placos is much higher than in Marttheir at that their gervicos are worth morel cents per. bour, they have never consented to pay the The story that other contractora mAy come to the city and sign the scale is discrodited. There is greator liklibocd of the carpenters thomsolves forming an association for tho purpose of taking contracts on tho plan.
