MORE DELAY

Painters Answer Bosses With
Another Condition To Be
Considered.
WANT STEADY WORK.
IOurneymen Say They viii Sign Agreement
Not To Take Work As individuals Pro.
vided The Bosses VIII Give Them Work
The Year ROuud-May Reach Agree
ment.

In the matter between the bos
painters and the iourneymen in which
the former are said to have agreed to
the demands of the union men provid-
ed the latter sign an agreement not to
take on work as individuals, the
journeymen, according to statement
of one of their number, are willing to
agree to this arrangement, if the boss
es will guarantee them work all the
year round.
If the journeymen hold out in this,
an entirely new phase is placed in the
matter and it means that the differ
ences between the bosses and the
union is by no means settled.
The iourneymen demand an increase
in wages. The bosses, it is said, have
agreed to the demand on the condition
as has been stated. Now the journey
men answer back, according to the
News informant, by agreeing to the
conditions of the bosses with another
condition added. Here the matter
now rests iourneyman in discuss
ing the situation said:
There are very few bosses in town
who could give man work all the
year around, so if we should sign the
contract without their promise, we
would be left out in the cold, for
there are a number of factories, in
this vicinity, which, during the paint
er's dull season, are willing to en-
ploy him and pay him the regnlaJ
scale of wages. The only thing the
bosses ask is to have man of their
own superintend the work
"There is clause in the painter s
laws which reads that painter can
work for any person or firm if they
pay the union scale. Last year we
should have had a raise of 25 cents
per day, but the bosses seemed to be
having trouble enough so we let it GO
until this year when business has been
brisk. Everything is going along very
smoothly. Now we ask for raise OF
80 cents day.
When asked if he thought the paint
ers would strike if the raise were not
granted, the speaker said that all the
painters were sure that some sort of
an Arrangement could be made before
the first of May.
When boss painter was seen about
the clause to be inserted in the con-
tract, he would have nothing to say
about the matter.

Evening News Makes Generous
Offer To its Readers In
This Issue.
CLIP THE COUPONS.
The Management Of This Paper Has Sc
cured A Handsome Wheeler & Wilson
Sewing Machine Which viii Be Given
Away To The Winner Of The Contest
Now Started.

The Evening News today offers as a
prize for the person sending in the
most coupons clipped from this paper,
handsome Wheeler & Wilson sewing
machine valued at $50. This machine
is the best made by this well-known
firm and is one of the leaders on the
market today.
This offer by the Evening News will
be especially attractive to the ladies.
Many who have no sewing machine
in their homes will now have an
opportunity to secure one absolutely
free, and others who have old ones,
can sell them and do their sewing in
an up-to-date fashion. No woman
need be told what sewing machine
is nor need it be impressed upon her
the wonderful opportunity now offer
ed by this paper. Husbands will also
appreciate the opportunity to make
their wives happy at no cost what
ever.
1t is hrdly necessary to describe
the nine. The fact that it is the
b inufactured by the Wheeler &
WiIsok Company is sufficient to make
eveLxb5- want it. The one which
the Evening NewsA-ia aunnsEaY is
on exhibition in the ~
Jensen, 1886 State street. 1t y onej
the latest style, having all the latss
improvements and when the sewing
is finished it can be closed so that the
machine appears like a work stand
and can be used as a table, Sewing
machines have had many patents and
labor saving devices added to them
within the past few years and every
housewife is doubtless anxious to get
machine with all these advantages.
Such one is offered by the Evening
News.
AS can be seen by the advertisement
on another page, the way to get this
sewing machine is to buy the Evening
News. Every coupon counts and
people are privileged to come to the
publication office and buy hundred
or more copies at once if they so de-
sire. Clip the coupons from the Even
ing News and send them to this Office
addressed to Manager Machine Con-
test. " Coupons will not be received in
lots less than ten, except on last day
of contest.
Remember, the Evening News is
but one cent copy and you get your
moneys worth by buying the paper
alone. There are no extra payments
nor any impossible conditions to get
the machine. Just save the coupons
and the one sending in the most gets
it. The contest will close May 10 at
CLOCK.

ANTON PETERSON MAY
BE BLIND FOR E.FE.
Injured At Chemical Works And
Spent Five Weeks In New
York Hospital.

Anton Peterson, of 20 Paterson
street, who some time ago badly in
jured his eyes while at work in plant
No. 2 Of the Roessler- Hasslacher
Chemical Works, has just returned
home from the New York hospital
where he was taken for treatment.
Mr.. Peterson, with a number Of
other men, were putting some water
into large tank, partly filed with
lime. AS soon as the water touched
the lime it exploded, injuring the
eyes of Peterson. He was taken to
the Manhattan Eye and Ear Hospital,
Of New York, where he remained for
over five weeks, having just returned
home. The doctor at the hospital ex-
pressed very little hope of his ever
being able to see again.
