WARNING FOR PAINTERS.

News has reached this city from st.
Louis that efforts are being made to
flood the town with house painters.
The following advertisement appears
in many of the daily papers of the United
States: "Wanted-500 house painters.
Worlds Fair work has commenced.
Painters Headquarters at ST. Louis"
A local painter said in speaking of it:
1--WE would respectfully and emphati-
cally state that the said advertisement
is misleading. and undoubtedly intended
by some contractors as a movement to
lower wages and increase hours, as there
will be, no Worlds Fair work for paint
rrs for nearly two years There is pos
tivcly no more work for painters in st.
Louis now than can be done by resident
workmen.
I'VE, therefore warn all painters not
to pay any attention to the above men
toned advertisement, as they would
surely be disappointed and likely to be
stranded by coming to st. Louis.
