Justice to the CARPENTERS.

A special meeting Of the Carpenters and
Joiners Union No. / was held last night at
Cosmopolitan Hall to take action concerning n
violation OF faith by the master builders. Some
time ago, when the Master Builders AS.
ISOLATION was formed, an agreement was made
between them and the Journeymen Carpenters
Association that tho price of labor should DO
$3a day for the season, and that no non
union men should be employed; tho car.
penters on their part, agreed to work only for
builders belonging TO the bosses association.
1t is now claimed that the masters have broken
faith by cutting down wages, In two cases, to
$3.50.
The meeting was secret ono, but 1t was
learned that q committee, consisting of Messrs.
Deering, Johnson and Pllling, was appointed
TO confer with the bosses, and state that under
no circumstances Will they submit to n reduc-
lion OF wages. The union unanimously In.
dorsed the action of the men who refused TO
work for the reduction, and pledged them-
selves TO sustain them while Idle. The matter
Will be introduced before the National Fedora
tion Of Labor Of tho District OF Columbia this
evening, for the purpose OF securing tho united
action OF all the trades unions.
After the meeting one OF tho members OF the
union was asked In regard to the probabilities
OF strike. He said: 1--WE don't propose to
strike, because 1t always falls harder on the
men than the bosses, but the masters have
violated their part OF the agreement, and we
are determined not to submit to 1t. We have
money enough 10 maintain us while idle, and
can draw ON all the other trades for support
through the Federation OF Labor"

A Pilots Story

A correspondent of the Pioneer Press puts
the following story in the month of an old
Missouri river pilot
Zone time, in the fall of '66, when l was
pilotin' IN the Belle Fourche (the name is
fictitious) | seen somethin' mighty queer. 1t
was gettin' o. towards evening and | was
coming down the blight of the right hand
bend above strawberry island, when | spied
something that looked tor all the world like
a dog floating dead, ahead. | couldn't fur
the life of me tell what the animile was SWIM
ming on, but see it wur alive, for it moved
its head q trif1e now and then. Some of the
roosters nuyial for roustaboui) seen the
critter as soon as | did, and | gave a sheer to
port to CINE 'em q chance to corral the
thing II they could. I'm id if it wasn't a
Wolf with his claws fast in the bloated boGy
of a foater. The boys got both the live ami,
mile and the dead stiff aboard, and in the
felIer's pockets we found over $500 in Cana
da bills. There wasn't no marks OF violence
on the body anywhere, nor any name of bu-
man being on his clothes or in his pocket
book. We made all sorts of inquiries but
never could find out nothin' about who the
man was, and the money was divided fair
among the hands that pulled him in. The
wolf was tied up, but knaWed loose one
night when we was at the bank and skipped
out. He mast have found the body on the
bank, and, jumping on it fur a square meal,
lDDsened the hold of the sand 80 that both
set off on a vy'ge down stream"

and washstand, to look into a large and ele-
giant mirror, sit down into a plush-lined easy
chair, and slip into snow-white sheets, onto
a spring mattress, laid on a heavy, elegant
black walnut bedstead. This is a frst-rate
place to stop at Ubet. STEVE.
