Steel men promised to make | no reductions in wages except per- haps in some mills where there is a sliding scale agreement with em- ployes. The drive toward readjustment in the industrial world is on tn full stead of allowing that work to’ ‘to be done by the various coun- ties, is a question which is likely to come hefure the state supreme court this spring. One or more cities prob- bly will start friendly suits to have the question settled, and word comes from Sheridan that steps already have been taken in-that direction. It is related that, unless a decis- ion were to be reached within the next few months, every municipality in the state would be in danger of losing its ent’re revenues for the com- | ing year. When it came time to pay taxes any taxpayer could, in {the event nov artion had been taken, en- join their collection by the county. In the event the courts held that the county had no power to collect, and the city had failed to do so, there would be not tax money forthcoming.
