 The leading demand of the majority of the building crafts n the Birmingham district the coming huilding season will be an eight-hour wor-. day. In addition the carpenters have asked an increase per hour which will make the pay per day about the same as at present.
 Experience has taught those engaged in the building lines to arrange a scale and working conditions during the dull winter season, the scale to become effect i've about the first of May or June and to remain in effect twelve months. This is a good plan for two reasons, one being that contractors in figuring on all new work will know the cost of labor and cannot make claim of snap judgment, nasty and unreasonable action which are mighty weapons in influencing public sentiment in cases of trouble The other reason is that where it is possible to reach an understanding with the employ CTS without struggle there is plenty of time to do so before the season opens and the harvest can be reaped at the time of it's ripening.
 The carpenters have taken the initiative in the eight-hour demand this year They are compactly organized with two strong locals in Birmingham, and a union in each of the several outlying towns such as Pratt City, Ensley, Wylum. Bessemer Adamsville, Brooks---.e and Brighton. These unions are all assembled under one head in the carpenters District Council, which meets weekly for the exclusive purpose of handling matters of interest to the craft Several business agents are also actively in the field, J. P. Ogle- tree representing the Birmingham and North Birmingham unions and w T. Hutto representing the Pratt City. En- sley and Vivian unions. The member ship will number about HOO. The carpen- ters working rules which ecome effective May 1. and continue for year calls for an eight-hour day and 35 cents per hour, and about the same working conditions as last year. The present scale is 30 cents per hour and nine hours work and the new demand will shorten. the day by an hour and raise the pay 10 cents on the day. Many carpenters are drawing above the scale at the present time.
 It is expected that the bricklayers painters and kindred crafts will make q demand much the same The plasterers oi oiiN iN1dN tliJOS HIS dll tIShl-IOul hdN and $4 pay. Bricklayers are receiving 55 cents for a nine-hour day. The plum bers work eight hours for S3.
 The eight-hour movement in the Bir- mingham district is In keeping with the tendency of the general American labor movement for a shorter work day. The compact crafts have taken the lead, and the greatest success has been attained in the lines where the greatest skill and physical eXertion are required and those where labor saving machinery has been introduced for the operation of skilled craftsmen.
 The iron and steel workers as a rule work eight hours. the holders and ma chinists nine, the latter only obtaining

VICTIM OF CUBAN FEVER.
Sister Kept the Card intended for a
 Rough Rider.

From the Washington Post.
 It happened while MT Roosevelt was returning from his hunting trip in Col orado and before the great tragedy which made him President. Away out on the prairie the train bearing the Vice-Pres- ident East halted for several minutes at little station. and the traveller got out of his car and paced up and down the platform.
 Not many recognized the Vice-Presi- dent, but two young girls just in their teens learned from the station agent that the famous leader of the Rough Riders was up at the end of the train and fair ly flew down the platform to get a glimpse of him.
 "TIe don't look a bit stuck up,' said one of them, after a shy glance. I'm going to speak to him." and in flash a dusky brown hand was extended and a timid voice said How do you do, Mir Rough Rider?"
 "Oh, Mariamr' remonstrated her friend, that's awful. You ought to say

MT. Vice President oughtn't she?" ap- pealing to Colonel Roosevelt, who had taken hand of each in his hearty grasp.
 My dear young ladies, I answer to any title or no title at all; just as you like" he returned reassuringly.
 My brother was a Rough Rider" said one of the girls, breathlessly. That's why l wanted to speak to you. He just thought you were fine, Arthur did
 "Ah, indeed" returned MT. Roosevelt. heartily. I'm glad to know that. To what company did he belong?'
 "Oh, he was just a Rough Rider" re- piled Marian. ''I don't know anything about a company. but I have heard him tell about climbing a hill with you
 "Yes," returned the interested Rough Rider. 'You must be proud of your brother. I'd like to see him. Just give him this card" And taking a piece of paper from his pocket, he laid it against the car, wrote his name upon 1t, and then handed it to the girl She held it a second and then said piteously: Ar thurs dead, sir. The fever killed him."
 Colonel Roosevelt lifted his hat and said gentle: 'Im very sorry" Then the bell rang and the journey across the continent began again.

lishman located on Grand Mesa Lake in this State, by a mob Radcliffe appealed to British Ambassador Pauncefote for re- dress demanding s55,OO0
 The trouble grew out of a dispute be- tween ranchmen and Radcliffe over fish ing privileges and eliminated in the kill irg of a ranchman named Womack by one of Radcliffe's guards. A few days later the buildings on the lake were de- stroyed by fire, started, it was claimed, by friends Of Womack in revenge of his death.
 The matter was originally referred to Governor Or1nan early In January, and according to the News a communication from Secretary Hay has just been re- ceived asking what had become of it.

LOCAL UNIONS
 CONSOLIDATE.

Local unions 722 and SS2, Carpenters and Joiners. held a meeting at Allen Hall Friday night and consolidated. The un- ion assumes the number and charter of 722. which was the older union, being or ganized about a year ago. No. SS2 was organized at Woodlawn from the car- penters employed and living in that part of town, but it was thought that a con- soidation would make the union more eff fective and this was done.
 The consolidated union has about $50 members. The officers elected are: W. A. Cass, President; c. T. Hamrick. Vice President; Thomas Willard. Jr., Record ing Secretary; R. F. Connally, Financial Secretary; c. E. Mathews, Treasurer M. J. Lee. Conductors; w. W. Lott. Warden; H. Bennett, B. F. Jackson, w. E. Pair,

 MAcHINIsTs
 ARE INDIGNANT.
 Considerable indignation has been aroused among the machinists, particu- larly those on strike in Birmingham at the actions of Joe II. James and his fol- lowers at Salesbury, N. C., in declaring off the strike and the light in which the matter was made public. Besides pub fishing denials the machinists have got ten out circulars and scattered them broad cast warning machinists to stay away from the affected points and dis putting the right of MT. James to officially call off anything. The struggle goes on with renewed vim.
 NOTES AND PERSONAL.
 The Labor Temple incorporators have i been very active the past week. The organizations visited are dropping into line for the limit of stock, and many in- dividuals are subscribing for shares from one up to the limit. About BOO shares have been taken which is half the neces- sary amount for the formation of a per- manent corporation. It is expected that the remaining stock will be secured with In month or six weeks. The energy of the incorporators is commendable.
 The union of Hotel and Restaurant Elm ployes has made considerable headway in its struggle the past week. several of the most prominent of the restaurants affected having come to terms with the union. The union house card can be seen on the wall of a number of restau- rants
 The Birmingham Trades Council will hold it's regular meeting at Bricklayers' Hall this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. It is the first meeting since the election of off cers, and is expected to be interesting The committee on foreign relations of the national congress has had under consid- eration this week Chinese exclusion. In accordance with the resolutions of the American Federation of Labor and many other labor bodies President Samuel Gompers and the legislative committee of the Federation appeared before the Congressional committee and made a strong plea for a law that would effec- lively exclude the Chinaman from this country. No fight is being made on the other Asiatic races, although many reso- lutions that are passed by trades unions included them all.

the general day of that length through the struggle of last year. The printers work seven and nine hours, and so on through the long list of industrial crafts.
 The position of the building crafts Is in contrast with a few years back. Then ten hours was the accepted day, and from time to time since half hour has been trimmed off here and an hour looped off there. The plasterers and plumbers were the leaders, the bricllayers, timers and now the carpenters are hot on the trail of the work oay, on the principle of eight hours work, eight hours play and eight hours sleep.
 It has been proven by statistics that about two and one-fourth hours are enough to produce sufficient for the needs of the world if every one worked. and experience has shown that almost, If not quite as much, will be accomplished in eight hours as in ten by the worker The introduction of labor-saving machin- cry has also made a shorter day neces- sary that all may find employment.

 The faculties of nearly all colleges in the State are now considering the recom- mendation.
 It's opponents regard the game as physi- cally injurious and say that it has not performed the offices which it's friends claim for it. namely, that of increasing the attendance.

sly.
The library grew out of the custom
of some residents of Hartshay to meet
on bridge over the canal which passes
through the village to smoke and dis
cuss the questions of the day. In in
element weather this club met under
the bridge. One of the members pos
sessed pigsty. After cleaning it out
and furnishing it with few boxes as
seats he invited his companions to meet
in this humble shelter instead of brav-
ing the inclemencies of winter on and
under the bridge. It was the rudest
howell, barely six feet square, and
without any window, so that candles
were necessary day and night. To
enter it was necessary to crawl
through the low door in doubled up
attitude, and when inside the mem
bers had to move with caution, for the
space was limited and the roof low.
The former habitues of the canal
bridge soon constituted themselves
into society which they called "The
Hartshay Reading ROOM" and adopt
ed rules and regulations. A daily and
weekly paper were taken in; the men,
bers brought a few books they pos
sessed, and the people in the neigh
borhood, hearing of the venture, sent
more. For five nights in the week the
members followed each his desire,
in reading, in conversation, smoking,
cards, fiddle winks, and mere social
intercourse. But Wednesdays and
Fridays were devoted to reading aloud
by the best scholar. The first two
books thus read in common by the
members of the Hartshay reading
room were Carlyle's "French Revolu-
ton" and Gibbons decline and Fall OF
the Roman Empire"
Many improvements have been made
in the eight years since the library was
formed, and now round whitewashed
walls of rough stone are low backed
benches, and at one end are shelves
laden with books. These now consti-
tute a goodly library, for the story OF
the Hartshay mems self-help having
crept abroad many parcels and boxes
of books have found their way to the
pigsty..
