HOME BREWERY BOYCOTT OFF.
Started as a Result of NOnuniOn
Boiler Front.

The labor boycott upon the product OF
the Home Brewing Company has been
raised. Notice was served officially at the
brewery yesterday morning by V. d. By
field and Benjamin Hem. president and
treasurer of the Molders' Union, that the
boycott was no longer in effect.
The boycott was declared early in March
by the Central Labor Union upon the rec
ommendation of the grievance committee
to which it was represented that the Home
Brewing Company had put in some parts
of a new boiler that were manufactured by
nonunion molders. When the company de-
cided to enlarge the capacity of the plant
the contract for the new boiler was let and
it was the understanding that the work
was to be done in a union SHOP.
1t was afterWard learned that the front
of the boiler, which was cast iron, was
made in the shop against which a labor
boycott had been in effect Tor many
months. Then the Molders Union de-
manded that the boiler be taken out The
brewery people had already started to use
the new boiler and had cut off the old one
which it supplanted, and at the season OF
the year it was impossible to stop using
the boiler. A compromise was proposed,
but it was not accepted and the boycott
was declared 1t was queer proceeding
viewed from the laboring man STANDPOINT
for the Home Brewing Company had been
looked upon as a friend or organized LABOR
The matter has been pending now Tor
about three months and the Central Labor
Union has attempted to carry the poycott
into other cities throughout the State. This
effort has not been successful, for labor
organizations did not take up the warfare
against the brewery to any extent

OPPOSE THE DEAN PARK.
Property Owners Not Willing TO Pay
for Its Improvement.

The people living in the vicinity of the
Dean property, on Madison avenue and
Coburn street, are generally opposed to the
Improvement Of the place for park When
it was proposed that the place be purchased
by the city there was no protest, for the
proposition was that the city pay for the
place out of the general fund. The pur-
chase was made, and then came the i'm
provement of it, 1t was decided that about
S. 400 ought to be expended in identifying
the place and making a little breathing
spot for the children for that section of the
city.
Then came the complaint. There has not
yet been any organized effort to defeat the
movement, but it is expected that a meet
ing will be called by the interested property
owners, and that steps will be taken to de-
feat the expenditure of the money At the
head of the movement are Emil Dietz, Geo
Hermann, Fred Hofer, Fred Hess and
Casper Hess. Dietz and Hermann own
property on Madison avenue Immediately
opposite the proposed park site. 1t is pro-
posed that owners of property adjoining
Tor the Improvement, and that those living
farther away shall pay less, according to
the distance, the territory to be assessed
being embraced by East street on the east
McCarty street on the north, Nebraska
street on the south, and the ]. M & l.
Railroad on the west. Friends Of the park
system say that the abutting property will
increase in value far in excess of the as
sessment for the Improvement.
