WORKMEN ST|LL OUT
But Prospects Are for Early Ad.
iustment of Carpenters
Disagreement.
EMPLOYERS HOLD A MEETING
Prepare a Statement Extensively
Outlining Their Posi-
ton.

There is no material change today
in the disagreement between the
union carpenters and the Contracting
Carpenters association, but indica-
tions are that it will not be long be-
fore the two bodies will at least meet
to confer in an effort to adjust their
differences. The carpenters have ap-
pointed as a conference committee
Gus Klotz, Henry Butler and j. j.
Ford. The Contractors association
had a meeting last night, after which
the following was prepared for ubli-
cation:
Strike or Lockout, Which ?-The
Contracting Carpenters association
of the city of Rock Island at a special
meeting held Tues lay evening, April
II, and called for the purpose of dis
cussing the labor situation in this
city, decided to publish the following
for the information of the public:
Having received written notices
from Carpenters union No. loo of
various trade regulations demanded
by them to go into effect April l,
1900. we, Jan. 2, adopted resolutions
agreeing to grant them an S-hour day
and 25 cents per hour minimum pay;
but insisted on an assurance against
strikes for the term of one ear on
their part. But this stipulation the
union, through it's committee Jan. 10,
declined to accede to, giving as their
reason for their refusal that they are
affiliated with the Tri-City Building
Trades council, which claims the
right to regulate the building trade
conditions of the three cities, includ-
ing the ordering of sympathetic
strikes. In reply to the above de-
cision, Jan. 80, 1900, we sent the fol-
lowing communication to them:
ITO Carpenters Union, No. 1866
After due consideration and accord
ing to our promise. we, the Contract
ing Carpenters association. herewith
submit to you the following resolu-
ton as passed at our last regular
meeting:
Associations Resolution.
Whereas, The Contracting Car
penters' association having been in
formed by your committee of the fact
that the Carpenters union No. 166 is
affiliated and governed to certain ex-
tent by the Tri-City Building Trades
council, whose main object is claimed
to be to establish uniformity in labor
conditions in the three cities; there
fore be it
Resolved, That we, the Contract
ing Carpenters association of Rock
Island, have no objections to the es-
tablishment of an S-hour day, provid-
ed, however, that it is made uniform
in the three cities; be it further
Resolved. That, according to the
statement of your own committee, it
is impossible for you to grant an as
surance against strikes; therefore
there is no advantage to Us in signing
any agreement whatever and the es-
tablishment of a minimum wage
would be unnecessary, as wages have

FOR COLD STORAGE
A BIG PACKING FIRM
TO ESTABLISH PLANT HERE.
II Will Have AN Ice Mandatory in
Connection and May Be the Nu-
cleus of a Packing Plant.

Ell Paso will have a large cold stor-
age plant in the early part of next
year.
This news was given out last night
nv ]. H. Powell who represents the S.
& s. packing company of Kansas City
and Chicago. Mr.. Powell has been in
Ell Paso for several months watching
the situation and has recommended
that his company put in plant here.
He came here for that purpose and'he
says now that there is no doubt but
that his company will put in the plant
soon and open a permanent office
here.
The propose putting in a complete
plant to supply meats 10 all this sec
ton of the country and will have an
ice factory in connection. Whether
the company will have anything more
than cold storage plant and ice fac
tory is not known but it is thought
that all their meats will be brought
here from the Kansas City packing
house. This is one of the largest con-
Germs in the country and it is fully
able to carry out any plans it may
have.
This is an institution that Ell Paso
has needed for many years The de-
mand here for fresh meats is growing
daily and the territory around Ell Paso
is one of the best for this line of bus
mess in the country.
One of the general officers of the
company will be in Ell Paso in about
two weeks to complete all arrange
ments and the work on the plant will
begin soon afterwards.

Author of David Harum"

Children, with his own, and all 9th
ers, he regarded with a tenderness in
termixed with the awe that comes from
an utter failure to comprehend. He felt
keenly the responsibility of fatherhood.
but also felt his hand stayed from tim
orousness because Of the injustice of
having caused their being. The death
of his wife left him in a condition of
helplessness until his sister assumed
the place of mother to the three grow
ing children. Of the youngest, Philip,
he once said, "The dear child is as per-
tinacious as fly in his inquiries.
had no idea child could ask so many
questions, and / find it easier to settle
municipal affairs than to- give an an
swer to such queries as, Papa, must l
wear my rubbers? or Papa, how many
apples may eat a day."
In speaking again Of Philip, at the
age of nine or ten, he says in a letter:
ION Sunday morning got the small
boy dressed and set him on the
strait and narrow path nay, push
him before me down it's dreary way to
church service" -Ainslee's

Love and Letters

Many heart has been won through
the agency Of well-written letters. one
morning well-dressed man rushed
into matrimonial office in London
and fiourished bank-note before the
eyes Of the startled agent.
This bit of paper shall be yours if
you'll book me wife," he cried. eft
doesn't matter whether she's tall or
short, fat or thin; in less than an bou.
/ shall be on my way to the West IN
dies, and want you to find me wom-
an who will write me a newsy littla
letter every month. l can't take a wife
out there, and / must keep in touch
with the old country somehow !,
Though this was an extraordinary de-
mand, the agent agreed to do his best
and soon discovered a clever spinsrer
who was willing to oblige the eccentric
traveller. For three years she sent her
unknown lover long letters that cheered
his lonely heart and made him yearn To
come back to claim her for his own
and when at last he returned the mar
rage was celebrated without loss Of
time.

When resourceful novelist like Mrs.
Amelia e. Barr gives up the servant
girl problem and abandons her country
home on the Hudson to live in a New
York hotel the outlook is dark for plain
people who do not pretend to write
novels or solve problems. Mrs. Barr
says she has really been driven out of
her home by her inability to solve this
great enigma of the time. Her fight
to city hotel, combined with her be-
lief that the household work Of the fu-
ture will be done by men, suggests the
probability that before the end Of an
other century everybody may be living
in city flats and apartments and dining
on the hotel plan. The housemaid ap-
parently holds it in her power to abol-
ish the private home life of the nation.
It is high time for the geniuses and
reformers to apply all their powers to
solving the problem of how to make
young women prefer kitchen work in
the country to factory work in the city.
At present the attractions are mostly
on the side of the factory.

Newspaper statements concerning the
will of Rosa Bonheur recall the fact
that the principal legatee was, until the
last year Of the great artists life, an
entire stranger to her. Miss Anna
Klumpke, a young portrait painter Of
promise, greatly desired to paint Rosa
Bonheur, and wrote, asking that priv
ilege. Receiving a favorable reply, she
at once started from Boston to Fon-
tainebleau, in France, and entered upon
her work. The two women found them
selves in such close sympathy that
Mile. Bonheur asked her visitor to
make her home with her, and at her
death last year devised almost her en-
tire estate-chateau, park, library,
paintings and priceless manuscripts
to this young American. The story is
a romance in real life. 1t underscores
the poets query: "Who can answer
where any road leads?"
