FACTOR OF LABOR
Enters Largely Into Calculations of
Contractors Just Now.


Contractors have made no combination,
but the opinion is advanced individually
that the attitude of labor will have i'm
mediate bearing on the amount of build
ing which will be cone in Minneapolis
this season. P. Carlin, secretary Of the
building trades council, said to TIL
Jou rn a this week that no one could
predict as to the condition of trade this
summer. This is undoubtedly true, but
on the other hand contractors say that
only in rare cases are they accepting con-
tracts They base their attitude on the
uncertainty as to the labor question.
Whatever may be the truth it is evident
that contractors and labor organiz cations
must have an understanding before the
season opens. - Neither employer nor en-
ployed desire to see anything but a very
active season. The skilled and Unskilled
laborer wants work and good wages and
the contractor desires to have the work
done and at fair compensation

called on Governor Heard and made a
personal appeal for full investigation Of
the alleged British army post at Port

legged that British army officers main

GILMORE BOY LOCATED
HE WAS ADOPTED IN 1887 BY
CHARLES A. HALL.
The Young Man Is Now Cavalry
Trooper Stationed at Fort Riley,
kan.-Letter to Mayor.

Mayor Bookwalter has received a letter
from Charles A. Hall. chief clerk of the
freight department OF the Great Northern
Railroad, with offices in New York, which
Identifies the whereabouts of one of the
four children of John Gilmore. Gilmore
went away many years ago and placed his
children. three boys and girl. in the In
dianapolis Orphan Asylum. Last week
the mayor received a letter from Charles
r. Searles. OF San Luis PotosI. Mexico,
asking for the whereabouts of the chill
dren. as Gilmore had died there and had
left an estate.
Mr.. Hall says Johnny Gilmore. one Of
the children, was adopted by him in 1857.
being taken from the asylum TO his home
at New London, o.. where he was the 1
a local station agent. F. ]. BagIey. of
this city. had sent him newspaper clippings
about the case. The boy is now known
John Gilmore Hall and is member of
Troop NJ, United States Cavalry and is
stationed a. Fort Riley. Kan.
Mr.. Hall said he would be at Great Falls
Mont. for two months, but had written
his adopted son, who has been a cavalry
man a year and a half.
Efforts TO sustain the belief that Miss
May Nickum. daughter by adoption of
Charles W. Nickum. of this city, is the
lost sister OF the Gilmore boys, have not
met with success. The Orphan ASYLUM
records indicate that her family name was
Garris. but there Is lingering belief that
this may be a mistake.
Mayor BOokwalter has communicated
with Mr.. Sear'ss in the hope of getting
full details.

to the Polar Ice Company. of which Henry
l. Dithmer is manager. Hollis ice com

imminent break in the ice market and
knows nothing of the dispute between the
breweries and Holt over the Schlitz beer

CONSUMPTION OF LIQUOR
MINISTER'S COMMITTEE CALLS ON
MAYOR BOOKwALTER.
He Tells Them the Traffic VIII BE
Kept Within Decent Bounds, but
Cannot BE stopped.

Mayor Bookwalter received a committee
from the Indianapolis Ministerial Associa-
ton yesterday. The committee was repre-
scented by the Rev. Joshua Stansfield and
s. b. Grimes and DR.. Philip McNab. The
Rev. T. A. Goodwin and the Rev. w. w.
Criley, the other members, could not at
tend. The visit was under the instruc-
lions of a resolution adopted by the asso-
citation two weeks ago calling on the mayor
''in view of well-known violations of the
liquor law" to bring about its better en-
fOrcement
would not pretend to the committee nor
to any one else that ii was not possible for
a thirsty individual to get a drink at un-
lawful hours. 1t had been going on for
years before he became mayor and would
doubtless go on during his administra-
ton, and would doubtless continue
