REMAINS UNCHANGED
Members of Union May Succeed in
Tying Up the Slaughter-houses
of Miller e. Lux


The strike of the butchers in the
slaughter houses of Miller & Lux is
still on and there seems but little pros
pect of an early settlement, as both
sides are firm in their demands and de-
termined to fight the issue to an end.
The strikers are working among the
non-union men, trying to get them to
Join the union. If they succeed the
business of Miller & Lux will be tied up.
1t is probable that the cloakmakers'
strike will soon be brought to an end,
as both the employers and the strikers
are anxious for a settlement.

Building Trades Council was given a
hearty welcome by the members of the

when court adjourned.
The direct examination was brief in
each case, it being confined by Assist
ant Prosecuting Attorney Ward to the
payment of money by Salisbury TO the
aldermen for their votes and influence
in carrying the water deal through the
council. Regarding De Pagter's case
he said he offered him $1,000. which
was a larger offer than at first con
templated, because things had come to
such a pass IN the common council
that to stand by the deal a man had TO
have a little more courage, and he
wished De Pagter to "stiffen Ep."

Salisbury. I'VE gave him the largest
