1t was stated yesterday that eight or ten
carpenters had arrived in Oakland Wednes-
day from Los Angeles to be put at work
by the Builders Association, and that SIX
of the number have been taken into camp
by the union. They claim that they were
induced to come to Oakland upon false rep
resentations Their names are L. j. Chap
pei, j. f. Lenhart. Albert Neal, w. j.
Stoughton, A. l.. Mcdonald and another
who would not give his name. They state
that an advertisement was published in one
of the Los angeles papers by an employ
ment agent there, representing that they
could receive employment at Oakland at 40
cents an hour, and assuring them that there
would be no trouble with the union. LII was
arranged, they allege, that they should have
their fare advanced upon making promls-
sorry note TO William Winnie of Oakland fer
S12 for fare and 81 for the agents commits
sion. They say that they expected to be set
at work at once, but that Winnie told them
they would have to skirmish and find out
who wanted men. When they learned
the true state of affairs in regard to the
strike they refused to be used against the
union, which will stand BY them and see
that they are taken care of, and that the
notes for fare advanced are taken up. The

Company of the carpenters has fitted up an
off ce ON Tenth street, which will be pro-
vided with tables and papers, and will be
the headquarters of the cooperative stock
holders. The Builders Protective Associ-
alton denies that it had anything to do with
importing the men from Los Angeles.
