Monday that the time for the tidal wave

Erickson fears the consequence to

a prophet ought to bo killed, but ex.
cuses himself by saying:="God made a

turning, but it is probable that tho ma

published statement Of a member OF the
Building Trades Council that the brick
layers have signed contract with the
employers not to strike for three years,
in return for which the men are to re-
ceive an advance Of 10 cents per hour
with hours as days work. Most Of
