THE STORY Is DENIED.
Tt is Said the Strike is Only to Extend
to Carpenters.

TO Gar enters
Boston, April 1.-THE story that a
widespread strike is to begin here and
elsewhere on May j, to bring about the
adoption of the s-hour day which has
been sent to western papers from this
side is denied by labor leaders here.
The exact situation is explained as
follows: At the convention of theAmer-
cember, the question of the S-hour
WORKING dav was discussed ait length
and it was finally decided that the Ma
tional Brotherhood of Carpenters and
JOiners of America should assume the
leadership in the struggle on May l.

With this end in view the carpenters
union in this city have been steadily
strengthening their organization and
are DESTROYS of obtaining an 8-hour
day with 81 for days pay. President

fer with W. H. Hayward general Sec
rotary of the National Master Builders
association and q committee from the
Master Builders association ON the
question Monday. The carpenters are
confident that their demand WiH be
granted on the ground that Secretary
Hayward has publicly announced that
he is in favor of the movement and it
IS also claimed that in expressing their
willingness to take s. for a days pay
the carpenters are making a winning
concession as hundreds of carpenters
are today receiving from S2.25 to S2.75

CAMPFIRE STORIES.
AN INCIDENT At THE FRONT:
The Captain Was Permitted to do Like
Soldier.

The Captain Was Permitted 10 DAe Like
q Soldier.
One night when the sentinels had
been warned to be unusually alert, as
the enemy were in force only mile
away, the soldier on post No. i, which
was directly in front of small clearing
in the forest. suddenly called out for
the corporal of the guard. The order
was to avoid firing il possible, as the
men behind the breastworlls were woc n
out with marching. There was full
moon and she threw such light down
into the clearing that the smallest OBJ
iect could be distinguished by the SEN
tinel. AS he looked and listened q
confederate in the uniform of captain
stepped into the clearing in full view.
The sentinel lifted his mushet and
opened his lips to cry out, believing
that the enemy was moving down on
our lines, but something in the demean-
or of the lone figure made him pause.
After moment he simply called for
the corporal of the guard.
It was strange sight we saw-three
or four of us-as we stood on post NO.
4, The confederate came walking slow
ly down upon us, an open letter IN MS
left hand-his right carelessly swing
ing. We knew him for a sleep-walker
the instant we got eyes on him. His
movements seemed to be made by ma
