BUILDERS STRIKE STILL ON
Not Many Days Lost by the
 Strike However.

Rainy Days and a Holiday Came This
 Week-Both Sides Remain Firm, Al
 though Something May Be Doing
 When the Clock Strikes on Monday
 Morning.
 The strike of the union bod carriers remains the same and conditions on buildings throughout the city are at a standstiIl The bricklayers and masons have voted to stand by the car riers, but a contractor informed q Democrat reporter that he believed this was only a temporary arrange ment, step made to hasten a settle ment. A bricklayer also said that while he was not at the meeting which passed the vote he was informed that it was not the intention of the meeting to stand by the carriers for all time.
 A rumor has it that after the strike some bricklayers continued working, supplying themselves with mortar and bricks, and that the next meeting of the union may take steps against these members.
 In view of the action of the brick layers meeting it is not difficult to see the end. The contractors cannot help themselves. They will necessar- fly have to engage union help, or vio- late their contracts. One contractor fsaid to-day that so far only about two days have been lost, though the strike has been in operation since last Tues |day There was wet weather ho1- iday and one or two other elements which reduces the actual time lost to them to two days. A property own CT who is affected by the strike said that settlement is expected early next week

OFFICERS FAVOR CANTEEN
They Report DemOraIiHinE Elects
from Low Resorts Near Fort
Leavenworth.

A report Of the oflcers at Fort Leaven-
worth, Kan, on the subject OF the canteen
at that post has been received at the arm
headquarters here. They are unanimously
in favor Of the re-establishment OF the can
teen. Under the present conditions IL is
asserted the neighborhood OF the post is
surrounded by evil houses and low saloons,
which are constantly making trouble and
which are running the morals OF the younger
soldiers. 1t is also pointed out that a can
teen maintained in an orderly manner ac-
cording to military discipline would not
only be the means Of keeping the soldiers
orderly, but the profits Of the cauteen, re-
verting to the soldier. would give the men
an increase OF ~luxuries on their table. The
city authorities Of Leavenworth have united
with the army officials there to try and
close or at least reduce and regulate the
saloons and houses about the post.
