ARE PAYING
UNION WAGES.
Two Bosses Have Union Paint
ers at Work Having Agreed to
Pay $3.50 per Day.
NO AGREEMENT SIGNED.

The Painters Union is having its
own trouble these.days with non-union
painters who are working for some Of
the local bosses. Yesterday they sue
ceeded in getting four Italians as we'll
as the negro, employed by Wetterberg,
to quit work. They told the nom
union men, it is said, that at the
meeting of the Painters Union tonight
they would be admitted to member
ship free of charge if they would quit
work. The non-union men seemed
delighted with this idea and quit
work at once.
The union painters felt SO happy
over the fact, that they treated the men
to feast. The non union men prom
ised to be on hand at the union rooms
this morning but instead they return
ed to work for their bosses again.
At the meeting tonight of the paint
ers, this affair will be fully discussed
and there will be trouble of some
kind.
Two boss painters are now paying
the wage scale of $3.50 day for eight
hours work, but no wage scale agree
ment signed. When A. d. Martin
was seen by News reporter he said :
Eyes, am paying the painters that
have working for me $S.S 80 per day.
had "a certain amount of work to get
done within given time, and it must
be DONE"
When asked if he was member of
the Building Trades Association, this
boss admitted that he was and said he
could be fined $40 for paying the scale
but he declared he was running things
to suit himself and not the bosses.
He also said he was sick of the whole
affair which should have been settled
long ago.

LEHIGH VALLEY MEETING.
Report of Expert Appraisers Of Coal Lands
Very Satisfactory.

In Philadelphia today the last
monthly meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road until September, is being held.
This meeting has been twice postponed
in order that Mr.. E. B. Thomas,
president of the road, might bring be-
fore the Board, prior to it's adjourn
ment, details regarding the appraisal
of the company's coal properties, upon
which board of experts has been
working for the last six months.
This report has.been virtually COM
pleted and justifies the prophecies
made by Lehigh Valley directors that
the experts report would show that
the coal lands had greatly appreciated
in value since they were last appraised.
This does not mean that the actual
value of the company's assets has in
creased, but only that the book value
is greater than was previously assum-
ed, and that there would be better
ground than had been supposed for the
issue of new securities If the Board
of Directors should deem it advisable
to make any changes in the company &
finances.
President Thomas expressed the
wish that figures regarding the ap-
praiser's report should not be publish
ed until they had been submitted to
the Board of Directors, but it may be
stated that the report is highly salts
