UNION PAINTERS AND DECOR ATORs
ARE on STRIKE. 8 @#
AbOut Half Of the Employing Paint
era and Decorat tors Refuse to Sign
the Scale Presented, Which Calls
for an Increase of Five Cent. an
H0ur-Meeting Last Night, But No
ResultS.

The union painters and decorators OF
about half of the shops In town are on
a strike. If some resident wonders why
the job of painting or paper hanging
which he has been expecting men ia
come and perform for the past two
days, is not accomplished, it may be
that it is because some of the employ
ang painters and decorators have not
signed the scale and the men won't
work. Eight or nine Of the shops have
refused to sign the new scale that the
union has submitted this spring. Seven
firms have signed it and their men are
all working.
The new scale provides for nine
hour day, as usual, and 30 cents an
hour. This is an advance of cents
but it is claimed that most of the men
really received 271s cents an hour last
season. The scale also requires that
none except union men shall be en-
ployed.
A meeting of the union painters and
decorators was held last night at
Browns hall at the suggestion of some
of the firms that have refused to- sign
the scale, for the purpose Of talking the
matter over. But none OF them ap-
peared, though some of the employing
painters were there. and nothing was
accomplished. A general discussion OF
the situation was INDUCED in, but
there was little chance to bring mat
ters to a focus. The men say that
there is going to be work enough for
all of their members this year. They
consider their scale fair, as it is the
same as the st. Paul and Minneapolis
scales.
Some of the employing painters and
decorators object to the proposed scale
because they consider the compensa-
ton high, and others oppose it on the
ground that they do not care to be
>hampered by any arbitrary rules and
regulations.
No large jobs are affected in the city
as a result of the strike. 1t involves
about 80 men, and a few non-union
men have quit also. The Etrike is now
in the hands of the executive commit
tee Of the building trades council. An
other meeting will be held next Sat
urday night to consider the situation.

GOEBELISM NO DEMOCRACY.
Gen. p. Watt Hardin Says Party
Must Discard Methods Which
Are Not Defenstble.

LOUISVILLE. KY, Dec 31.-Gen. p.
Watt Hardin, who was the Democratic
candidate for governor in 1896, and VINO
sought the nomination at the hands OF the
last state convention, has Just returned
from trip in the Northwest. Speaking
OF the Kentucky political situation, Gen.
Hardin said today:
Il find great apprehension in the North
concerning the electoral vote of this state
in the presidential election next year.
1T seems to me q matter of first i'm
portance SO to organize the Democratic
party that Kentucky may be taken out
of the list of doubtful states.
Two years ago the Democratic party
carried Kentucky by majority of 1900.
Because Of bad leadership, because of un-
Democratic measures, because Of actions
which the party cannot defend but for
which 1t is now proposed to make 1t re-
sponsible. we have lost Kentucky.
IF 1t Is to be regained we must act
now. act promptly and act decisiveiy. We
must SO act as to make clear that Goebel-
ism Is not Democracy"
