union carpenters employed on the Sans
Pareil Glass Company buildings here went
on strike yesterday because Contractor
Morgan Townsend had hired two nonunion
carpenters. An officer of the local carpen-

demanded the discharge of the two nom
unionists. The contractor refused to COM
ply with the request and the union men
refused to continue work. The contractor
paid the union wages and says he hired the
men because there were union carpen-
ters available.
The completion of the buildings will be
delayed somewhat If the matter is not i'm
mediately adjusted. If the factory is built
