donated to the Franciscan sisters for
their bazaar and fair for the benefit

on the plans Ior the fair and hope
that it will be Il success. The sale of

the wisest plan to pursue in the eff

edness that has been incurred in the
building of the handsome addition to
the hospital now nearing completion.

lovers of the manly art, as demonstra-

exception were clean fighting. 1t
took but four rounds for Adam Ryan
to dispose of Tommy Smith, the Chi
cago lad who put Hayes Muhs to sleep
in Rock Island a couple of weeks ago,
but those four rounds were sufficient
to encompass some of the tieTcest and
best fighting witnessed here in re
cent years The first of the prelimi-
naries was between Kid zimmerman,
Of Davenport, and Buddie Burns, OF
Cincinnati. and while the bout lasted
through the five rounds the Daven-

outpointed the clever eastern light

ASK MORE WAGES
Demands for Year Made by Car
penters of Three
Cities.
EIGHT-H0UR DAY A FIXTURE
Contractors Said to Favor the
Schedule as
Whole.
EIGHT-HoUR DAY A FIXTURE

Tri-City building contractors have
in hand the demands and rec
concentrations of the union carpen-
ters, as these have been formulated
by the Tri-City Carpenters District
council.
The s-hour day is made a fixture,
and the rate of wages is raised.
The lowest wages for carpenters
last year was about ~ cents an hour,
and most of them got about 80 cents.
1t is understood to be the feeling of
the contractors that they generally
favor a 30-cent rate, and some are
stated to have declared wish that
the demand had been made for IS
cents as the minimum. At 30 cents
an hour the carpenter can earn only
$14.4O a week. Last year the average
carpenter in this city lost from three
to four months of time. On this basis
the rate is small enough for the sup
port of family.
What Demands Are.
In the subjoined schedule the num-
bered sections are demands, and the
Others are recommendations. Here is
the statement handed to the cOntrac-
tors:
To the Contractors of the Tri-Citics:
Gentlemen: With he near APP
preach of the new year it is but fair
and just that you should be informed
of the aims and intentions of the
union carpenters of the tri-cities.
touching the various questions which
most vitality affect our mutual inter
ests, such as wages. hours of labor,
overtime. etc. 1t must he conceded
by any fair-minded man, that the car
Penters are among the most poorly
paid of any class of skilled mechanics.
During the season just closed, the
stonemasons and bricklay-
ers, who carry not to exceed So worth
of tools. have received from 40 to so
cents per hour, while carpenters pos
sessing equal or greater skill and car
rying from $25 to 500 worth of tools
have received from 271s to 81 cents
per hour. While the cost Of living
has advanced fully - per cent dur
ing the past three years the car
penters are receiving but little more
per hour than during the years 1900
1901.
In view of these facts the union
of the tri-cities through
their accredited representatives in
the district council have formulated
the following which was adopted at
meeting of said district council held
in Rock Island, ILL.,, Dec. o, 1902, to-

Smith Rushes.

Round 3-Smith came up after the
terrific punishment he had received,
smiling, and started i'll to rush mat
tiers, but Ryan used his feet effective
ly and kept well out of the way of
his opponent. He clinched frequently
and both men took advantage for
short arm jabs on the body and face.
The round ended for Ryan.
Round Smith was fighting eau
tiously at the start of the round until
Il hard right from Ryan caught him
off his guard and sent him to the mat
He stayed down for eight counts and
as he came to his feet he started into
rush the fighting in the hope of get
ting in lucky blow. Ryan was still
fighting strong and kept well away
from the rain of blows which the
Chicago lad rained at him. At last
Ryan got in another swing on the
jaw and Smith went down like a log.
He came up with difficulty and was
clearly out of the fight and groggy.
Another punch on the jaw sent him
reeIing, and as he fell Referee Pollock
stopped the contest, giving the decis-
ion to Ryan and saving the Chicago
lad a knockout which would surely
have followed had he come to his
feet. Time of last round, l minute
and Sc seconds.
The second preliminary was between
Harry Walsh, who claims the title of
welterweight champion of Canada,
and Albert Hall. of indianapolis. AS
far as Walsh's title is concerned. it is
still safe, for the fight lasted but .
minutes and 20 seconds.
