break in the strike of building trades work
men occurred to-day when the timers, who
had joined the carpenters and painters in
their strike three weeks ago. reached an
agreement with the contractors and return
ed to work. While no wage schedule has
been signed ii was agreed that the men
should receive $3.50 a day and work nine
hours. Previous to this the timers have re-
ceived 81 a day. The carpenters and their
bosses are as far apart as ever. The strike
has greatly interfered with construction
work in the city.
There were two strikes in West Lafayette

asphalt pavement on State street called
halt, demanding higher wages. The matter
was settled in a few hours and the men
went back to work. Twenty labor
ers in the shovel gang decided that their
wages were not high enough and notified
their employer. He refused to grant the re-
quest for more pay and the men quit.

old places but found other men at work.
