FIGHT BETWEEN UNIONS.
Carpenters' Strike in Philadelphia
Takes On This Phase.


PHILADELPHIA, May 4-The strike of
the building trades unions today remains a
conflict between rival organizations rather
than a struggle between employers and en-
ployes. Secretary Joseph B. Allen of the
Allied Building Trades Council said today
that at least 10000 workmen are unem-
ployed in consequence of the Brotherhood
Of Carpenters and Joiners persisting in their
refusal to affiliate with the council.
Mr.. Allen declares untrue the statement
made by Secretary John Watson of the
brotherhood that the question of joining
forces with the Allied Trades Council would
be considered at tonights meeting of the
Carpenters District Council. That matter
he says, was fully discussed last Friday by
the district council. and later referred to the
unions for their votes.
The real cause of the dispute between the
two organizations. Mr.. Allen says, is a west
Philadelphia carpenters union. which had
been expelled from the Brotherhood for
non-payment of dues. This union was af-
terward recognized by the Allied Building
Trades Council, and the brotherhood
charged the council with breaking faith
Secretary Allen says he then charged the
brotherhood with having used the smaller
organization as means to compel en-
ployers to recognize the movement for
shorter hours and increased wages. After
gaining it's end, Mr.. Allen says, the broth
erhood repudiated the small union.
A letter was received at council head
quarters today from VIM. F. Kirk. special
agent of the United States department of
labor, announcing that he would come to
this city next week to investigate the
strike.

1t is understood that Mr. Arthur G. Davis,
who was employed by Thomas L. Davis to
manage the show. couldn't raise the money

salaries due for the preceding week. Ker-
nell, upon hearing this. declined to go on
the stage Tuesday night unless he received
his salary. He was promised by Manager
Thomas that it would be forthcoming We'd

Mr.. Davis. the hacker of the show, asking
for funds. but no reply came. Kernel Sc

Yesterday he announced he would leave
if every dollar due him was not paid. An
other telegram to hacker Davis ELECTED no

While Mr.. Henry b. F. mcfarland,
whose nomination as the successor of Dis

firmed by the Senate, has not, as far as
can be learned. officially intimated that he

AFTER CIGARETTE DEALERS
NUMEROUS SALES TO CITY SCHOOL
CHILDREN ALLEGED.
Application Made for Eighteen War
rants by Attorney for Federation
of Young People.

Application was made to the clerk of the
Police Court this afternoon for eighteen
warrants against dealers for alleged viola
tons of the law which prohibit the sale of
cigarettes to minors. The application was
made by Mr.. !. .. H. Award. general
superintendent and counsel for the Fedora
ton of Young Peoples Societies of the Dis
trict of Columbia. He has immediate
charge of the anti-cigarette department Of
the societies.
In conversation with a Star reporter MIR.
Award said he had been engaged all the
week in the work of collecting testimony
against alleged violators of the law. He
found. he said. number of dealers who
sold cigarettes to children. Small children.
boys and girls both, he said. seem to have
been purchasing the cigarettes.
During his visits to the public schools. he
declared. he found that in one class Of
about thirty-five pupils twenty-one boys
and six girls were addicted to smoking. AT
one school where the teacher said that none
Of her pupils were victims Of the cigarette
habit five boys and two girls confessed that
they were smokers.
Large Percentage of Smokers.
The percentage of smokers among both
the boys and girls. he said, is very large,
and it is his opinion If the actual facts are
told people will be shocked beyond belief
and imagine the statement is made for the
purpose Of causing a sensation. While
many schools have already been visited,
Mr.. Award said, the school work is by no
means completed The investigation will
be continued until every school has been
visited. Most of the evidence he added,
has been obtained from the children, many
OF whom are not twelve years old.
The attorney says the cooperation of par
ents is solicited, and If they will do their
duty In the matter much more good will
be accomplished.
Under the law the sale of tobacco in any
form to children under the age of sixteen
years is prohibited. and for each offense,
the offender Is to be fined not less than 81
nor more than so or be imprisoned for rot
less than five nor more than twenty days.
Cause of Insanity.
MIR. Award said a letter had been re-
ceived from probate judge in Ohio COM
mending the anti-cigarette crusade. The
Judge, he said, told OF number Of cases
OF insanity that had been before him in
which excessive cigarette smoking had
caused the af1liction. 1t is understood that
when the cigarette crusade is ended the
question of selling liquor to minors will be
taken up.

Members of Fire Company Charged
With Violating Regulations.
Commissioner Wight, who has immediate
| supervision Of the fire department, today
recommended the dismissal of r. g. Teg-
eler and C. c. Logan. members Of truck D
company, for taking intoxicating liquor
into the quarters Of the company. With
his Recommendation Mr.. Wight submitted
to his associates a number of written
statements from the foreman and men Of
the company, from which 1t appears, he
explained. that in addition to quarreiing
among the men. which, he adds the fore
man, P. W. Nicholson, ought to be able to
control, two members of the company, Teg-
eler and Logan, admit taking the liquor
into the house and drinking it.
Mr.. Wight called attention to the fact
that short time ago member of this
company was dismissed for the same Of
Tense, and that men were dismissed from
other companies on similar charges. The
dismissal of these men, he hoped would be
sufficient warning to the entire fire depart
ment, and inasmuch as Tegeler and Logan
he adds, have seen fit, in spite of this, to
continue this violation of the rules, he rec
commended their dismissal,
