Mrs. Wilson OF Chattanooga is In Bir-
mingham investigating the death of her
daughter, Mrs. o. P. Veal, who died De-
cember II under circumstances which 1t
is thought were rather peculiar and may
result In the arrest of her husband on
serious charge.
Mrs. Wilson has been In conference
with Coroner Paris and the police au-
thorities, who are aiding her in the In
vestigation. 1t is believed by Mrs. Will
son and Coroner Paris that Mrs Veal
either died from unnecessary exposure
or that she was poisoned
Mr.. and Mrs. Veal came to Birmingham
nearly year ago. They were married In
Chattanooga, and according to Mrs. Will
! son it was runaway match. She claims
that the couple have never lived happily
since their union. Mrs. Wilson states
that they had quarrels and that Mrs.
Veal left her husband several times
1t is probable that 1t viii be necessary
to exhume Mrs. veals remains to fur
Their the investigation. The death GER
tihcate signed by the physician who at
tended her gives bronchial trouble as
the cause of death. The remains were IN
TERED in Elm Leaf cemetery.

w. A. Gulledge of verbena had his
watch stolen from him Sunday shortly
after he boarded a train for Birmingham.
Only little while before the train
reached Birmingham the watch was
found on hatrack. where 1t had evident

from GuJledges pocket.
AS soon as Gulledge missed his watch
he telegraphed the Birmingham police to
meet him at the train and aid in unravel-

Gle Ks Make Demands on Mer-
chants Which Are Refused
ASK 1890 CLOSE SATURDAYS
Union Holds Meeting and Authorizes
Removal of Cards from Stores
Which Fall to Sign the,
Agreement.

The Retail Clerks Union and the mer-
chants have so far failed to reach an
agreement in regard to closing hours.
The clerks held a meeting last night and
instructed the secretary of the organiza-
ton to remove union cards from all stores
the proprietors OF which refused to sign
an agreement offered them. The commit
tee which has had charge of the demands
of the clerks will hold another confer
ence with the merchants.
The modified demands of the clerks are
that stores open at 7:3o o'clock from
April to October and at o'clock from
October l to April 1; to close at o'clock
except on Saturdays, when the closing
hour shall be 1890 o'clock; to take full
holidays on Christmas day and New
Years day. with a half-holiday on the
Fourth of July, Labor day and Thanks
giving day. They desire to make such an
agreement for one year.
Modified Their Demands.
The trouble dates back to a recent
meeting of the clerks when the matter
was preached and a committee appointed
agreement. The first demands Of the
clerks were that stores open at o'clock
the year round, close at o'clock except
on Saturday. and then at 10 o'clock. TAX
Ing aii-day holidays Fourth of July,
Thanksgiving Christmas and New Years
days. with half-holiday Labor day.
When these demands were first SUBJ
mitted the merchants said they could not
accept them. but when again approached
made a counter proposition that stores
open at 7 o'clock from April 1 to October
!; at 1880 o'clock from October to April
1. closing at o'clock except Saturday
nights when discretion of merchants
should rule; give two whole holidays
and three half holidays with a contract
for three years. This the clerks deciin-
ed, but submitted the modified contract
given above.
At this meeting the merchants, on ac-
count of the late hour and the absence
Of their chairman. did not discuss the
question further. The modified contract
was afterwards presented to them and
all, except ]. L. Chalifoux & Co. and
M. Well and Bro. refused to sign on ac-
count OF having pledged not to sign any
contract but that sumbitted by their rep
resentatives.
offered to Arbtrate.
The clerks claim they then offered to
arbitrate the question and IL FIVE bust
ness men did not decide they were right
they would drop the matter entirely
This was refused but the committee was
requested to address the chairman of
the merchants committee requesting the
merchants to reconsider. This letter the
committee refused to write.
Before taking up the matter the clerks
elected officers as follows:
President-W. J. Morgareidge.

MEN ARE TO RETURN TO WORK
WITH NO CHANGE IN THE
CONDITIONS.
SPREAD OF DIFFICULTIES
PROMPTS A SETTl SMENT
More Than 1000 Men Forced Out Of
Work and Ties Up Building Opera
tons, and This Brought About the End
OF the Troublc-Brickyard Were
About to Close Down.

After holding out for six weeks ana
tying up the building industries of the city.
eniaiing the enforced dlcncss Of more
than a thousand men, the IS tcamstcrs EN-.
ploycd in the Butte lumber yards have az
last given IN and the lumber strike is
over
Last night a committee composed of
the following representatives from the
Carpenters and Woodworkcrs. the Team
sicrs and the Workingmcns Unions met
and decided 10 give up their de
mands and return to work at the old
scale; Messrs. Pierce, llafnan and Hum
phreys from the Tcamstcrs' union o Bricn
McNally and Murphy from the Wood
workers aud Carpenters. and Cunningham
from the Workintsncns union.
Accordingly, the committee called on the
managers OF the yards this morning and
informed them that they were willing TO
acccp, their terms. which are virtually the
same rs before, with the exception that
the teamsters viii be employed by the
month.
VIII Accept Settlement.
While the matter had not been definitely
settled this afternoon, as the owners Of
the yards could not be gotten together nm
I'll this evening the men have every reason
10 believe that there will he no further
trouble IN fact the manager Of one of
The largest companies said thai he would
accept that arrangement aud he felt sure
that the other companies would do the
same.
Perhaps the urgent cause Of the settle
ment is the threatened shutting down of
the brick yards.
II was first believed by the men that
they could get lumber from the Easr and
that the building would go on indopend-
cnt ot the local lumber companies, but
they found on that there was no Eastern
lumber to he had and il was a question Of
tying up all the building trades or securing
their demands.
frst. the carpenters had to quit Tor
want Of material, Then as the contractors
ana others IN charge Of construction could
get no more material The briellayers and
biiildinR laborcrs were laid Off Ultimately
every man interested in building In Butte
was obliged 10 quit work awaiting the
settlement
Good for the City
Several attempts have been made nv
those most interested to settle the matter.
bnt time after time unavailinply. The car,
penters, woodworkcrs and workinpmen ali
concluded to Withdraw their demands, but
the teamsicrs adhered tlll the last.
In the terms of the settlement il ia
Propapic thaf the carpenters and wood
workers will receive some minor cor.
ccsslons IN the matter of overtime. I'm,
~ the man the old scale for all employees
OF the lumber yards will be adhered TO.
After the delay, the news of the settle
nehi wiz be welcome TO the people Of
The city as the deadlock has had deprcss-
ing effect on business in general and with
the resumption of work there will be much
reason 10 rejoice.
