We have been discussing the advisability
of establishing our quarters in the uptown

are drawbacks to this. and it has been de-
cided to defer action until we conclude
whether II would be wise TO open up in the
business or lower part of the city, or in
the upper or residential section.
Much can be said for and against both.

right thing. have been treating with sew

President Francis is, no doubt favorably
inclined to settling in the upper part of
the city. where several new 'sky-scra pers"

occupancy by the time all is in readiness
for taking possession, but he would not
make his preference known probably for
the reason that II might cause an advance

There Is a prospect CT another tie-up Of
wholesale business interests by the union
teamsters, who are dissatisfied with the
wages now paid them. They threaten to
strike after September l if the employers
do not pay a scale OF $50 per month.
Although no formal demand has been
made on the employers for the increased
wage scale, the union teamsters have, as
the result of several meetings. decided to
present an ultimatum to the bosses after
September l. declaring that the minimum
wages of teamsters shall be $50 per month.
There are two organizations of union
teamsters the International and the Ma

shoot of the International body, composed
of members of the latter organization who
were dissatisfied with the conduct of the
strike last year, and formed separate or

The present dissatisfaction is said to exist
only in the National body, and to be To-
mented by delegates sent on here from
