BUTLER FRESHMEN
Succeed I'm Placing Their Flag on the
Dome Of the Building.

Irvington citizens, living in the neighbor-
hood OF the college, were awakened FRI
day night by loud and furious pounding on
the roof of the college building. Yesterday
morning, on looking toward the college to
see the cause, which disturbed their SUM-
bers. they beheld green flag, bearing on
it the figures "'03.''. floating from the GU
pola of the building, and on one side Of the
dome were painted, in large white letters.
the same figures "'03" College spirit has
been running high at Butler lately, espe-
cially since the episode in which two
seniors were locked in a box car. 1t has
been the ambition Of every class in school
to see their flag floating from the large
cupola of the main building. Two years
ago the class Of '98 succeeded In putting up
their flag and painting their letters on two
sides of the dome. Since then, although
many have been the attempts, no class has
succeeded In accomplishing that feat. until
last night. Early in the evening number
of freshmen began hauling ladders and
ropes UP on the roof and putting up barri-
cades against any other students that
might object to a freshman flag. Although
intruders outnumbered the freshies, they
were unable to gain the roof and stop the
raising Of a 03 flag. AS the sun began to
rise yesterday morning, the freshmen had
accomplished their feat. Leaving two col
leagues to guard the entrances to the dome
they retired to get little sleep before the
examination. A number Of freshmen have
taken their books and food to the tower
and intend to make their abode in the air
until after commencement Is over.

Paper Contract.

The Board of Works has submitted a
proposition to the Indianapolis Water Com
rany concerning the new contract to be
made between the company and the city in
regard to the water to be furnished the city

the rate for fire hydrants is lowered from
$50 a year to ALSO and instead of the forty
three fountains costing $50 a year that the
water be supplied free. The proposition

LOCAL LABOR AFFAIRS.
Talk of q Barbers' Union Heard-0th-
er Matters.

The movement to close barber shops at
II o'clock on Saturday nights and all day
Sundays that originated with the Journey
men BARRIERS will likely lead to the forma-
ton Of a tradesmen's union. There have
been three BARRIERS unions in this city, but
each time, through improper management,
they failed. Heretofore the trouble has
been between the downtown and suburban
shops. The unions closed the shops on
Sunday and established a price of % cents
for hair cut, but 1t was not long until the
downtown shops were shaving and cutting
hair behind blinds on Sunday. The subur-
ban shops, many having only one or two
chairs and not enjoying the heavy trade
Of shops in the business part Of the city,
while not being seriously affected by the
Sunday closing rule, felt bitter over the
breach of agreement and reduced the price
Of hair cutting to Is cents. Then followed
q general reduction all over town, and. with
other controversies, the unions were finally
disrupted.
Within the last week several shops have
raised the price of hair cutting back to %
cents. and 1t follows that the journeymen
will now get together and try once more
10 hold up q union and union scale. The
former scale was $l2 week and q certain.
per cent. with hair cutting at Is cents. One
of the largest boss BARRIERS held out for the
15-cent hair cut, but paid union wages.
This action had much to do with breaking
the union, but he Is now in the 25-cent list
and the iourneymen BARRIERS think the time
is ripe for a union. 1t is likely that ma
tional organizer Of the BARRIERS will be
sent for within the next week to look over
the situation, and IL the BARRIERS want an
organization 1t will be formed.
Already there is beginning to be stir
in union labor circles over the cominE
election of officers of Central Labor Union
the second Monday in July. The candidates
for president are NJ. T. Butler, OF the Saw
makers Union; j. NJ. Madden, Of the Plas-
terers' Union; and Thaddeus Gurley, Of
the Carpenters. President John Blue has
served Two terms, and has not as yet an
nounced his intention Of again being a can
didate. Harry Slough. OF the Typographical
Union, the present secretary, has no oppo-
sition so FAR, and II Is thought that he will
be reelected by reclamation. Miss Jessie

spending secretary, Is the only announced
candidate for that position.
