Chicago, Aug. l5.-TheS big strike In
the building trades Of Chicago is
dying but The men, weary and gdesti-
tute from the long months OF idleness,
are DESERVING their unions and going
buck to work as individuals under-the
contractors rules. 54s
Building operations are being re-
sumed In every part of the city. Each
day the number Of new contracts
started is increasing. Workmen in
most of the trades seem to be plenti-
full, and there is no delay in work or
haggling over tritiing points. So long
as 3 men aye granted the wages ant
hours that were in force before the
trouble started, and concerning which
there has never at any time been any
question, they seem satisfied
1t is q caseS of the gradual weaken
ing of the tightly drawn lines which
kept the building industry OF the city
tied up for SO long. No settlement
has been nude and the leaders seem
to be as far apart as ever on any
amicable proposition. But meanwhile
the men are taking the matter into
their OWE hands and going to work in
defiance OF their leaders.
The contractors r nsEs determined
as the labor leaders not to settle ex-
cept on sthe terms outlined by them-
selves, and will not employ u work
man who is q member OF a union
atllinted with the building trades
council. They insist that the man
shall sign his resignation to his union
in duplicate before he is given work.
The resignation in the original is sent
to the union. In this way the strength
of some of the organizations is beng
sapped to such extent that in y short
time they may exist in name only.
In some of the trades the contract
ors are having more applications for
work than they can supply, while in
Others they are unable to Iecure
enough workmen to carry out in u
satisfactory manner the operations
they have undertaken. 1hey are
bringing men in from out of town to
work in these trades. and hope % ac-
complish a great deal of building be-
the season closes. The men realize
that it is almost too late to begin any
more big contracts this season, and
they fear that they will not have
enough work during the remaincdr of
the year to tide them over the hard
ships of the coming winter.

The ascension to the throne of Italy
of the new king brings into proml-

as Queen Helene. In one sense she is
mated to the king and in another she
is not. Like most of his countrymen,
he is small of stature, while she, like
her people, the Montenegrians, is very
large. The i%ncongruity appears when
they stand together, which is not
often. Most of their pictures are
taken with her sitting and him stand

upon cushions, which make him look

the train crew had of the robbery,
and they are not able to indicate at
what point between Cincinnati and
Columbus the tragedy occurred.
Lanes revolver was found at his side
with three chambers emptied, and the
safe was rifled of its contents and the
door indicated that it had been blown
open. No details are available, as the
officials have simply receiver telc-
grams from Columbus since midnight
giving bare statements Of the death
OF Lane and the robbery of the safe.
Columbus, O., Aug. 13.-The murder
nnd robbery is supposed to have taken
place between Milford Center and Co

express messenger when the train

senger was alone. No one heard the
shots or the explosion attending the
blowing up of the safe. 1t is sup

affair. Lane was about IS years of
age. The officials of the Adams Ex-7

cured by Vic robbers, but 1t is re-

A story is told of q Methodist
church in Buffalo, N. Y, that hired
an organist who played its organ for
a year. When his contract ran out,
the church owed him s36.5O. He
brought IN action in the municipal
court. In his answer to the complaint
the attorney for the church set up the
defense that all the work done by the
plaintiff for the defendant was done
on Sunday, that it was neither neces-
sary nor charitable work, that, there
fore, it was performed in violation of
the states Sunday laws, and SO the
plaintiff is not entitled to recover. The
nearest to a parallel to this thet is re-
called is the case of a boy on trial for
the killing OF his father, who asked
leniency from the jury on the ground
that he was ar orphan.
