builders contemplated making reduction of 10 per
cent in wages pretty well to earth yes
terday. The master builders declared that there
grounds for the rumors. The labor leaders
also said that there would be trouble
Charles L. Eidlitz of the Electrical Contractors
Association and one of the managers of the Build
ing Trades Club said that the origin of the
joke played by a club member on his fellow
members He added that two three of the club
members while at luncheon were discussing the
dulness of affairs in the building industry. when
of them said that it would be a good thing
reduce wages 10 per cent. Afterward this member
decided to write story for the clubs bulletin, in
which it was declared that the cut in wages would
be made The bulletin is the clubs card
and his friends derived much amusement by watch
ing the other members when reading the story
which they at first took seriously. They discovered
by reading it further that the whole thing was q
joke. BY a union delegate got hold of
of the bulletin, and this is what caused all
the trouble.
Mr.. EidIitz added that, like most jokes. there

true that there had not been half the money
expended in building operations for the first six
months of this year that there had been for the

last year they reached $5l ,650572. He added that
high wages meant less work. and that wages were
high now that building operations did not pay.

PEKING MASSACRE DISCRED1TED.
EMBASSIES REFUSE TO BELIEVE REPORT
OF RIOT IN THE CAPITAL.

Washington, June Il (SpecaD.-The embas-
sizes here as we'll the officials of the State De-
partment. have now come to discredit absolutely
the Hong Kong and Shanghai dispatches of yes
terday reporting the destruction of the legations
in Picking and the murder of Baron Won Ketteler.
The report, it is now ascertained, was totally
misleading as far as 1t connected those alleged
occurrences with the departure of British forces
for the north, for the British authorities in Hong
Kong have not thought the reports worth re-
peating to London, although questioned regard
ing them. 1t is believed here that the reported
assassination of the Japanese Chancellor several
days earlier has been magnified into the Won
Ketteler rumor, and that by no possibility could
any indignity upon the legations have occurred
without Great Britain and Russia hearing or
them at least as soon as private individuals over
a thousand miles from the scene. The Russian
Government has assured Germany that it has no
information tending to confirm the reports in
the least particular. The British Foreign Office
is unable to corroboraJe any of the numerous
details of Shanghai coinage. Reports from that
city in the Carbohydrates War six years ago
almost invariably proved false, and as a reliable
news source 1t has long been regarded as rank
ing with Mole st. Nicholas.
