BUILDING TRADES
LABOR UNION
THEY ASK FOR A REDUCTION OF
HOURS FROM NINE TO EIGHT
AND SEVERAL OTHER
THINGS.

Close upon the heels of the Plumbers
walkout comes the strike of the building
trades union, the demand being for a re-
duction of working hours from nine to
eight. The demand was presented to the
contractors on the first of May, and as
the contractors propose to resist the de-
mand it is quite probable that building in
Butte this season. will be somewhat linn
tied. Several contractors. who had large
buildings under construction We're forced
to accede Immediately to the demands of
the strikers, but at a meeting of the con-
tractors, held Saturday evening 1t was
decided to resist the demand and insist
upon a nine hour work day. At a meet
ing Of the carpenters union last night,
a suggestion was made to the effect that,
as a method of bringing the contractors
around to the union mems manner of
thinking, the joUrneymen go out and do
a little contracting themselves. The sug-
gestlOn met with very general favor, and,
unless a settlement is effected early, will
probably be acted upon.
The trades union has also promulgated
a rule to the effect that one man cannot
take a contract to construct a building
and then sub-contract in the various de-
partments of construction work. Each
class of work must be contracted for
separately.

There are no better proofs of the merits
of an entertainment than it's life-the
Erowth after years of presentation be-
fore the public. The best, the plays in
which some truth is told, the plays de-
picted IN which life IS it Is lived, in which
the characters are real and attach them
selves to the public by sympathetic
chords that bind together people who like
each other; plays that when you see them
you may say: THAT man or that woman
is like some one | Know; he or she does
or says just what the persons, whom they
remind me, would do or say if placed in
a similar position" These are the rea-
sons why Clay Clemcnt's pretty story OF
Virginia life, as told in his delightful
play, 'The New D~olninion,' has gained
the fond following, and is enjoyed among
those who like cleanliness, purity and
most pleasing comedy in a play. every
laugh. every m~oIstening of the eye with
the pathos Of the story in Mr.. Clements
New Dominion" is gotten by perfectly
legitimate methods. Not a point is
strained to create ripples and roars OF
laughter that nightly greet the quaint,
humorous. wise and witty Baron Hohen-
stauffen in his efforts with his limited
English. to tell his love to the fair Viz
gina girl. who at last becomes the
Baroness Von Hohenstauffen. The an
rcarance Of the play in this city on Thurs
day and Friday should attract the best.

TALKS WITH

Louis Millers' Klondike Placer
Machine
BRINGING HIM IN FORTUNE
Will Contract for 100 More Machines
at Once-.R0yaltv SIS Per
Day Per Machine.

Louis Miller. formerly of the Alta mine
at Wickes, and we'll known in Butte. is
in the city today on his return from the
k!ondlke. Mr.. Miller owns a patent
placer washing machine from which he
Is receiving as royalty $3.50 per day for
the 10 machines in use at the present
time on Eldorado and Bonanza creeks.
The machine is built On the syphon prin-
ciple and is said to be working very sue
cessfully.
Mr.. Miller is now en- route to Chicago,
where he will let contracts for the con-
struction of 100 new machines, for which
he says he can find ready use on the
Klondike at $25 per day royalty. Like
all returning Klondikers Mr.. Miller car
ries a few handfuls or nuggets to show
what that country can produce.
The klondike will produce a heap of
gold this year." said Mr.. Miller to an In
ter Mountain reporter" and it will con-
tinue to produce it for many years to
come, as there are immense quartz lodes
in that locality. Now is just as good a
time as any to go to that country, but a
man must have the right kind of grit to
be successful. or course some kinds Of
business are overdone. notably the saloon
business, but whisky costs four bits a
drink just the same, and it is worth it.
THE railroad to the lakes will be COM
pleted by the 10th of July. so that in a
short time it will be a comparatively easy
matter to get into that country. With
easier n cheaper transportation Alaska
Is bound to be settled with a good. hardy
class of people. and l believe the develop
ment of the country will follow on a
mammoth scale. OF course there are a
great many idle men now around Daw-
son and a man SHOULD be fairly well
equipped with capital before making Il
trip to that northern country. The pos
slbilities of the country are great, how
ever, and a man with Il little money and
Wiling to work and brave a few discom-
forts should make money"

Europe is an ears for Inventions, pa

Europe Is all ears for inventions, par
ticularly those that pertain to war. Now.
that the United States has had success
full campaign, the great countries of the
Old World are itching to try their guns
upon the enemy.
According to a statement attributed
recently to ex-Minister Woodford, the
United States was wholly unprepared for
war at the opening of the campaign. But
Europe is not going to find herself in this
position, and particularly Austria, which
is very we'll fortified country. It is said
that the War Department of Austria pos
sesses, next to Germany, the greatest
number of patents for guns, bombs, shells
and other warlike materials of any coun-
try in Europe.
A most interesting experiment was re.
Gently made in Austria IN the explosion
Of bombs at sea.
And this takes one back to the in
ventor. 1t is some years since Herr Jar
SzcZepanik, the well-known scientist OF
Poland, invented bomb which would ex.
plode by means of the X-ray. At the
time his projectors explained that this
bomb would be of great service operated
by a spy. In case of bombardment or
siege the bomb could be placed upon The
| top of building in the besieged town il
/ the hands of one of the secret servic,
| men. The enemy outside the city would

planned, was to be worked at a grea

PARIS, Feb Il. There is food tor
much philosophical discussion over an
international exposition; and that from
one point of view solely. This is on the
question to whether there may not
be some reflection of the temporary
and ephemeral character of such enter
prises in the doubtful attitude Oh t!e
world at large whenever World S talf
is proposed and the general lncredullty
that exists over the announced grandeufs
and extent of the structures planneQ I'M
til they are really accomplished DEEDS.
For, after all, Worlds Fairs mean little
to any one save exhibitors other than a
painful memory of long Journeys tire
some days of Wonderment over a wealth
Of products Of every country and cline,
and a confused sense of mental and
physical WEAKNESS that beggarS our
tongue to describe. We usually mean to
never go to another. But in our hearts
we are planning and looking forward to
1900; to Paris, and the exposition.
THE PROGRESS.
Up to the present time to the average
American the Paris Exposition of 1900
is represented by some vague ideas that
1t is promised to surpass the Chicago Fair,
and that there is n rumor that 1t is to
be postponed for a year, that America is
not going to have as much space as she
deserves, and that COmmissioner-Gener
Peck knows a thing or two about getting
as much space as America needS-and
must have OF the actual progress of

A COUNTRY OF HOLIDAYS.
The United States Has the Easiest,
Shortest DAYS of ANY Country.

A computation made a short time ago
showed that among European countries,
the two in which wages were highest and
hours of labor least, were England and
France, whereas the two countries where
wages were smallest and the hours of
labor the longest were Italy and Russia.
In some countries of the world an ex-
PLANTATION of the apparent dearth of pro-
is to be found perhaps, in the recurrence
of holidays of a religious, patriotic or
purely social character, and many persons
who are familiar with the Industrial
usages in some cities of South and Central
America say that there the number of
holidays seems to exceed the number of
working days. There are in such coun-
tries usually not fewer than a dozen
church festivals; and there are besides
patriotic festivals.
A similar state Of affairs exists in all
