CARPENTERS STRIKE,
The Five Hundred Union Men of
the City viii Quit Friday.
NO SETTLEMENT OF DIFFICULTIES
Seems Probable Now-Ehe Carpenters
VIII Not Assent to Being Paid on a
Basis of Worth-What Builder
Thinks of tho Prospects-The Strike
Seems Inevitable.

Should the carpenters go ont on q
strike, as now seems probable, the con-
sequences will be more serious than q
good many people suspect. In addition
to the five hundred union carpenters,
tho stopping Of wood work on the vari.
Gus buildings in process Of constructs on
throughout the city would compel the
suspension OF brick and stone work,
painting and pasterius, involving alto
gether over two thousand men.
At present there seems no lpophole
OF escape from the strike, The late
conference did not, as was hoped, solve
tho differences between the contractors
and mill men and their employees. It
looks US though no further conferences
will be held, and that on Friday even
ing the carpenters will put away their
tools for an extended time,
A South Side builder was seen yester.
day by an lNTELLlGRNcER man and asked
what he thought OF the situation.
ITO begin with, the union carpenters
OF Wheeling are getting the same wages
as Is paid in Pittsburgh, and more than
is paid in Columbus. Cleveland or Gin.
cinnati, Only in New York and Chi
cago, that l know OF, arc carpenters
paid more than here. You can see thcy
are fairly treated and paid better than
tho average. For good carpenters We
pay as high as 81 80, and some that are
not so good get the same, That is not
good system to work on, At tho con-
ference l asked the unions representa-.
tives ii they would consent to some OF
the men who are good workmen being
advanced in wages over others not as
good. 10 this they replied that they
would not consent, and that all would
have to be advanced, not taking into
consideration tho mans value. then
said: What ii we should discharge
tho poor workmcn and secure good ones
who would be worth the advanced
wagesT The committee from the union
replied, well, wo would strike. Their
demands, il acceded to, would place the
bad workman on plane with the good
one"
"What will he tho outlook ii the
strike is inauguratedY
ut will be much better than it was
three years ago when We fought SINH
lar strike. Then there was hardly q
non.union carpenter in the city, max
ing tho situation a hard one for US.
Now there are about as many non-union
carpenters in Wheeling, as there are
union men, and all the mills and
sources OF supply for lumber and sup
plies are in the Builders Exchange.
Three years ago there was mill oper-
ated during the strike by union men.
Now oil sources of supply'for tho strik-
ers in the way OF material will be
closep. Then, though the non-union
carpenters are after the advance as
| hard as the union men, they will not
stay out as long as the latter. The
union will not be able to control them.
Taken altogether the outlook is much
moro favorable than it was three years
ago."

Made by Prisoner to Escape jail ut
Moundsville.
A prisoner in the county jail
at Moundsvillo, named Mullen,
attempted to force his way to
liberty last evening when Tailor Nc.
Combs opened the inside door to bring
in another prisoner who had been in
court. The prisoners had not been
locked in their cells, for the night yet,
and when tho door was opened Mullen
mado leap andju just managed to get his
arms through the aperture as Mr.. Nc
Combs slammed the door shut, Mullen
Is n big, stout fellow and it became a
question Of strength between him and
the jaior. The latter was shortly REIN
forced by his wife, which gave him an
advantage. He requested his wife to
hand him lock which was lying near,
and it seems Mullen thought he asked
for his revolver, for he let 90 and ran to
his cell with all possible speed. He is a
desperate fellow, having just completed
term in the penitentiary and is held
here awaiting tho Mcdowell county au.
