InLabor' FieId
A hint OF TROUBLE.
Between Master Builders and Ger.
tain Labor Unions.
AN ADVANCE IN WAGES ASKED
The Master Builders Decline Il
Grant It-A Conference
Next In Order.

The possibility Of another serious dis
agreement between organized labor and
the Master Builders association this
spring is suggested by the action OF the
association at it's last meeting, when 1t
voted to return to three OF the local
unions, affiliated with the building trades
council, without approval, their schedules
of wages and working rules for the COM
ing year. The three unions concerned
are those Of the carpenters, stOnemaSons
and iron workers.. ...
The association made no specific objec-
tions to the terms demanded by the three
crafts, but simply announced in each case
that it could not accept the schedule pre-
sented. Presumably. the next step Will
be for the unions involved to appoint con-
ference committees and ask the Master
Builders association to name commit
tee to meet with them for a discussion or
the situation. None Of the other building
trades is involved in the situation. They
are evidently we'll satisfied with the con-
ditions of last year in their lines, as their
schedules for 1902 do not call for any
change, either in wages or otherwise.
The carpenters asked for an advance in
wages of five cents per hour and some
changes in the working rules designed to
operate to their advantage. The carpen-
tiers received last year 32h cents per
hour. The stonemasons put in a request
for a similar increase. They are now re-
ceiving 40 cents per hour. The Iron
workers demanded an advance Of 81 per
day over the present wage of So per day,
and they also insisted upon some changes
to their advantage in the working rules.
The master builders are not, at this
juncture in yielding mood They say
they will be just as well satisfied If no
contracts are made this year with the
above three unions, but leave the question
of an advance in wages to be settled by
the conditions existing during the year.
They are strongly set against the changes
in the working rules demanded by the
carpenters and iron workers. AS for an
advance in wages, 1t is likely that they
would be willing to concede this In the
case oft he carpenters il they would drop
their demands for changes in the rules.
1t is believed that the three unions Will
insist upon conference, and that II this
is refused, or the new terms in good part
not accepted, there will be grave danger OF
trouble this spring between the contrac-
tors and the building trades The exist
ing contracts between the association and
the various trade unions expire April 1.

FAVOR DISAPPOINTMENT
Executive Committee of State FEEDER
alton of Labor and Tax Bill.

alton of Labor anu TAX bill.
The executive committee of the State
Federation ofLabor, known as the Fedora
ton council, at a meeting this week re-
solved that the new tax bill, while con-
tanning some very commendable features,
had also number of Objectionable fea-
lures that effected organized labor
throughout the state, and, as representa-
tives of the labor unions Of the state, the
council decided that action upon the bill
ought to be postponed until the next reg
ular session Of the legislature.
The federation council consists OF but
five members, elected at the annual con-
vention of the state federation, and its
duties are to pass upon routine matters,
connected with the administration of the
federation's affairs. George Harvey is
president and Louis Hansen secretary,
both members Of Mayor Ames' detective
staff. The councils action in assuming to
speak for the 100000 members Of organized
labor represented in the council is not
we'll taken in some circles of local or
ganized labor, and it is promised that an
effort to discipline its members will be
made at the next convention Of the state
federatiin.
1t is charged that the council has gone
far beyond it's legitimate powers in speak
ing for the organized labor of the state on
such an important issue as the tax bill.
A referendum vote Of the unions, it is
said, is the only fair procedure in mat
tiers Of such moment as this.

BODY'S DAILY FUEL SUPPLY.

Man needs certain amount Of food to run
his body, just as an engine needs coal, water,
oil and repairs Starch is by far the most
important part Of mans diet, this "coal' be-
ing about four times the required quantity Of
''oil and REPAIRS Starchy foods should be
dextrinized, however, as they overwork the
stomach The easiest, most appetizing and
best way to secure the necessary starch is
through the use of that thoroughly cooked
cereal, Toasted Wheat Flakes. It makes an
ideal starch-dextrinized food ideal in that it
gives the amount of energy required; ideakbe-
cause, being delicately sweetened with Malt
Honey, it tempts the palate; ideal because
it furnishes the starch dextrinized for rapid

A WARNING SOUNDED
An Old Member on Organized Labor
and Politics.

In a communication to the Union, one
signing himself IAN Old Member of Or
ganized Labor" takes emphatic stand
against the proposition recently put for
ward for organized labor in Minneapolis
to present candidates of it's own for mayor
and other city Offices at the next election.
The writer declares his belief that or
ganized labor could not agree upon any
one subject long enough to pick out the
best men for the places and the politicians
would event ually get the control. 1t is
a fact, he declares that cit Is almost i'm
possible to get organized labor to unite
unanimously upon any proposition, and to
introduce any moro matters upon which
they might be divided; such as polite or
religion, would probably result in the
breaking up of the trade unions and the
loss of all the ground we have gained by
all of the struggles of the past years."
Members of organized labor have all
they can attend to now, he says, in look
ing aft er the objects for which the unions
were formed, which are to prevent the
decrease of wages and to benefit the con-
ditions of labor generality.
The proper political course, he points
out, is to pick out the men on both ticket S
who are all right and elect them, and not
mix the unions in politics. religion or
other outside matters. ..s,

Glass Workers, Scale.

The glass workers union has settled upon
the following scale Of wages for this year:
Twenty five cents per hour for putty glaz-
ers; 81 per day for plate-glass handlers, and
ten hours to constitute a days work. The
art glass workers ask for no increase, as they
week. Unions generally throughout the coun-
try are now voting on the question Of de-
manding nine-hour day. The local union
will not agitate the question, however, owing
to the fact that all the sash and door fac
tories have the ten-hour day.

weeks in any one year. All who have been
members for six months or more are eligible
for the benefit. The glass workers will pay a
sick benefit Of $3.50 per week.

A GAY DECEIyER.

The Hon. William Jennings Bry-
an is.talking very volubly about the
restoration Of harmony in the Dem
ocratic ranks, and the bringing of the
party together for the grand battle
to be fought in 1904, but those who are
closely and dispassionately watching
his course at the present time can
plainly see that he is doing all in his
power tOkeep the party in its disjoint>
ed condition and to keep Organism in
the ascendancy in its councils.
1t is fact plainly dlscernable that
the masses Of the party are disposed
to come together, ami are willing to
unite under the leadership Of David
Bennett Hill, of New York. as their
candidate for The presidency two years
hence. Yet Mr.. Bryan has taken 1t
upon himself to 60 to the Empire
State for the express purpose of de~
feating .sMr. Hill and breeding further
dissensi0ns in the ranks of the party.
Mr.. Bryan wants to organize liberal
Democratic party (Which is but an
other name for Bryanism) and he
knows that he can not succeed in this
If the various segregatiUns OF the
Democrat party come together again
in solid.phalanx.
Mr.. Bryan processes great love for
the Democracy, but he does not pos
sess it. He began his career as a
Popullst, was elected to Congress
upon the principles Of that political
organization, and has lost no oppors
tunity since to destroy the good old
Democratic tree by having these
pernicious principles engrafted on it.
Mr.. Bryan is smart man, an able
man, plausible speaker, an in
siduous reasoner, butSheshas overleap-
ing, vaulting ambitions, is over
bearing and tyrannical in a political
way, and is for Bryan first, last and
all the time.
The Democratic party appears to
have a splendid chance for success in
1904, using for issues the present adj
mnlsttaion policies and the mistakes
the Republican party has made, but
even with all these chances and op-
portunities it will never win if it
listens to and heeds the ill-advised,
fallaclous and dangerous counsels of
Mr.. Bryan. The party wants to pull
itself together, cast him off. and go
back to the true principles of DemN
ocracy, and If it does this we are
satisfied it will sweep the country like
whirldwnd in 19O4-Natchez Bull

A special meeting Of the Board
of Aldermen was held on Wednes-
day, at which Mr.. G. H. jerks, a
Mechanical Engineer, according
to appointment, was present. The
matter of water works was freely
discussed pertaining to which
Mr.. Jenks'gave the Board much
information. A contract was eu-
tered into with this gentleman to
bore finch we'll that is to sup
ply at least one hundred gallons
Of water per minute at the cost
of $3.50 per foot, and if water is
not furnished as contracted for
there is to be no compensation by
the Board. Work will be started
on the well in ten days.
The terms are all that could be
asked for; there being no chance
for the town to be the loser in
the event of a failure to furnish
a sufficient water supply. But
on the other hand it evinces the
fact that the contractors are sat.
is6ed that they can get the water,
and this alone stands in the way
of a system of water works for
the town.
There has been some talk of
the boring of a we'll by the oil
Mill Company but we are glad to
say this idea has been abandoned
and the town will furnish the
oil mill with its water supply
which will of course lessen the
expense and make the water
cheaper to both plants.
The we'll will be located on the
lot adjoining the switch north of
the depot, which will likely be
donated to the town by the Rail
road Company. The proximity
of the we'll to the railroad will be
a great saving in the hauling of
coal. The water tank Will be
placed on the public square.
The inventor of a cotton picking
machine has entered into a contract
with Washington county planter
to gather his entire cotton crop with

tract of this character ever made

is not a great improvement upon all
former "cotton-pickers," Mr.. Ne
gro will continue to grab the feecy
staple with his fingers for ages to
come.
