Some Of the Contractors Refuse
to Meet the Advance.
SEVERAL STRIKES ARE ORDERED
Workmen on ST. Vincent'S Hos
pital Have Gone Out.
TENNESSEE COMPANY MAKES RAISE
Bricklayers Argue That the Great De-
mand For Labor All Over District
Justifies the Increase of 5
Gents Per Hour.
TENNESSEE COMPANY MAKES RAISE

The brickmasons of Birmingham have de-
| manded an increase in their wages from
40 to 45 cents a day, and as a number of
the contractors in the city have refused to
pay it, strike on all such buildings has
been ordered, and work has been stopped.
The most notable example is that of the
st. Vincent hospital on the South High
lands. The contractors. Messrs. Cook &c
Laurie. have refused to meet the advance,
and work has been stopped. The contract
ors have telegraphed to Chicago for new
brieklayers, and they say the new men will
arrive in a day or two and that work will
be resumed at once. The contractors claim
that they have already met raise from
80 to 90 cents per hour and they claim that
it would be unjust to compel them to make
another raise on this job.
The most notable victory for the brick
layers was the meeting of the advance to
IS cents by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and
Railroad company. This big company
which is doing a great amount of building
and repair work just row, granted the adj
vance soon after the demand was made.
The men did not have to strike.
Raise on the New Theater
Yesterday the bricklayers working on the
new Jefferson theater. made demand for
a 5-cent increase, and they remained idle
for about an hour until they got their an
swer. The foremen communicated with
! the Smith Bros, who did not let out this
work to contractirs, but are doing it them
| selves, and they Immediately responded by
| granting the raise.
The big Doveman, Joseph & Loeb and the
| Mayberry buildings are now out of the
| hands of the bricklayers, so the question
| did not come up on those jobs. The ex-
cavations for the Drennen building are not
| quite ready for the brick work.
Reports could not be obtained from all
| of the buildings yesterday afternoon, nor
can it be said definitely just now what will
| be the final outcome. 1t was said that the
| contractors on about eleven new houses in
| Eleventh avenue, South. refused to make
| the advance and that bricklaying on them
| had ceased.
Think They VIII Win Fight
The bricklayers think that they will win
| the fight, as there is such demand going
| on at present for bricklayers that it is but
| just that they should receive the raise
| They say that the first raise that they re-
| ceived was from 80 to 40 cents an hour on
| April l. Since then, they say, the demand
| for labor became SO great that several con-
| tractors voluntarily increased wages from
| 40 to 40 cents. On Tuesday night of last
| week the bricklayers' union met and de-
| cided to demand 45 cents an hour all over
the district Since then they have been
| working along waiting to get replies from
the contractors. 1t seems that the crisis
came yesterday.

of discussion over important questions
Of the battery, armor, speed, coal ca

New Jersey and the Pennsylvania, and
will equal in formidability the finest
line ships vet laid down by any
foreign power, and with the addition of
typical American improvements will
surpass in fighting force any ships now
anoat. The salient features of the de-
sign contemplate a displacement ap-
proximately of $4,000 tons, as compared
with the Qregon's 1000 or the new
Names 12,300. The speed is to be at
least nineteen knots. The board has al
so definitely determined upon the use Of

the east side of Dungeness, the south

night in terrific gale. The storm was
the worst of the winter, and the seas
Immediately began breaking over the
steamer. For time-it appeared as
though no one on board could be saved.
The Dungeness coast guards made des-
perate and for a long time unsuccessful
effort to launch a life boat in heavy
surf. Finally the coast guard men sue
ceeded in reaching the ship. They re-
manned alongside the steamer all night
and eventually put a rocket apparatus
in operation. When day broke the gale
slightly moderated, enabling the life
boats to transfer the crew. She carried
a cargo of grain.

A MILLION DOLLAR FIRE.
Nine Firemsn Injured by Falling Walls
Miraculous Escape. %

Chicago, December 30.-A fire de-
stroyed a seven-story building at 22O
Monroe street early to-day and badly
damaged two adjoining structures. The
loss, which falls mostly on wholesale
firms, will be in the nelghborhood OF
81, 900, 600. One fireman was badly in
jured by falling wall The losses arc
as follows: wooley & Co., woolen goods,
$50 O0O Edwards, Stanwood & Co., sue
cessors to Phelps, George & Palmer,
wholesale boots and shoes. $250,O0O; the
]. W. Butler Paper Company, $4,000
the Henry o. Shepard Printing Com
pany, $1250O0; loss on buildings, 10000.
The intense cold greatly hampered the
work of the firemen.
Nine firemen were injured, as follows:
Captain Robert O'Connor, serious; Jas.
Wooley, serious; William Padden, Mi
chael O'Hara, Captain John Evans,
Captain William Carey, Captain Thos
O'Connor, Luke Hayes and Lieutenant
Oswald The escape from death of Cap
tains O'Connor, Evans and Carey and
Firemen Padden, O'Hara and three 9TH
ers who escaped injury was little short
of miraculous. They were working on
the roof of building No. 216-21S Monroe
street, and as the fire crept closer to the
west side of the structure We're grad
ually driven toward the middle of the
roof Suddenly the east wall of the
building adjoining fell with a terrific
crash. An immense mass of brick and
timbers crashed into the roof where
Captain O'Connor and his men were at
work. The roof tore away from the
sides and fell with crash to the floor
beneath, carrying Pipemen O'Hara and
Padden down in the debris and leaving
the others on frail broken edge of the
roof high above the flames. Captain
O'Connor, Lieutenant Callahan and
Pipeman Horgan finally succeeded in
rescuing the two unfortunate pipemen
and crawling along the shaking walls
they made their way to a fire escape
and descended safely to the ground
After the fire had been raging about an
hour and a half walls began falling
and several firemen were injured, James
Woolley SO seriously he was taken to
hospital. The fire was one of the
worst the fire department has had to
contend with in years.

Results.

captured as prize and taken to Dur
ban. The Bundesrath arrived here from
Mozambique.
London, December 30.-It is learned
there were on board three German OFF,
GERS and twenty mem attired in khaki
and intending to serve the Beers, which
explains the capture.
London, December 30.-A reported
sortie from Ladysmith, resulting in the
firmed, and apparently is only Kaffir
story A Chieveley dispatch, dated De-
cember 20, makes no mention of it. The
same message shows renewed activity
on the part Of the British, apparently
preparatory to some action. The Boer
position eastward of the camp was
thoroughly reconnoitered December 2S
without drawing the enemy. The naval
guns are engaged in daily practice. 1t
is said on good authority that thirty or
forty Beers have been killed by the fir
ing during two days.
A dispatch from Durham predicts that
Iladysmith will be relieved about Janu-
airy 7. While there is nothing to bear
out this forecast there is some disposi-
ton to believe that General Butler Is
preparing another attempt to advance,
this time by an attack on the Boer po-
stion on Inhlawe mountain.

vices received here from Pretoria under
date of December 27 say an official dis
patch from Mafeking announces that
in sortie the British made December
25, attacking one of the Boer forts with
cannon, maxims and an armored train
so persistently that the fighting ragged

lost 1O9 killed and wounded, while the
Beers only lost two men killed and sey-
