To-day on Bis implement
warehouse.

There was practically no change In the
strike situation in Council Bluffs yesterday,
except that both the mason tenders ana
the teamsters claimed a number OF new
recruits to the ranks Of the strikers.
Business Agent Raabe OF the Trades and
Labor assembly estimated last evening
about $50 men were out on strike. Thls es-
innate includes the entire membership OF
the Mason Tenders union and about sew
enty-hve members OF the Transfers union.
While the bricklayers and masons are
not out on strike, II was stated yesterday
that they had practically decided not to
work with scab helpers. Work was en-
tirely suspended on the Great Western
freight house, but contractor Wickham had
a number OF nonunion men working on the
concrete foundations OF the Great Western
roundhouse yesterday. Work on the Fuller
Johnson G. Shugart company's warehouse on
South Main street, so far as bricklayers
was concerned, was also at a standstill yes
terday. The same was true Of the McAtee
building on Pearl street. A prominent
member Of the Bricklayers' union stated
last evening that in his opinion there would
be little or no brick laid in Council Bluffs
for two or three weeks.
Both the Mason Tenders and Transfers
unions held meetings yesterday afternoon
in Labor hall and both decided to stand
firm in their demand for the increased
scale OF wages. President Stack OF the
Mason Tenders union reported that thirty
men had Joined the union since the inaugu-
ration of the strike and that conditions
looked favorable for the ultimate victory
Of the strikers.
The Transfers union appointed a com
mittee to wait on the men still working
and try to induce them to quit until the
employers signed the new scale. An ex-
ecutlve board was also appointed to take
charge OF the strike and confer with the
bosses. President A. l.. Smith Of the
Transfers union stated that seventy-hve
members OF the union who had been en-
ployed hauling brick, dirt and other build
ing material, were now out on strike.
The city had been paying $3.50 a day for
teams and the union yesterday sent a com
municatiop to the city council asking that
the city agree to pay 35 cents an hour.
or $3.50 a day of ten hours. Unless the
mayor calls a special meeting to take ac-
tion on the matter, IT cannot come before
the council for two weeks, as no meeting
will be held until May is.
Several OF the contractors stated yester-
day that they would sign the new wage
scale II Wickham would. Mr.. Wickham.
when asked II this was so, stated that the
contractors were attempting TO shoulder
the whole thing onto him and their state
ment that they would sign II he would,
he regarded merely as a blum. Mr.. Wick
ham said as far as he was concerned his
work was In such shape that the strike
would not affect him any. He said further
that the work of laying brick at the i'm
plement warehouse on Main street would be
resumed today, strike or no strike.

MRS. EMILY RUSSELL.

At the hour of 1:30 Wednesday morning, when the family were gath cred about the bedside, sympathizing with the mother and wife in pain, fearful in the realization that the end was near at hand yet hopeful unto the last, the spirit of Mrs. Emily Jane Russell took it's flight.
 Though for the past year, the de- ceased had been an invalid, confined to her bed a larger portion of the time, through the pail of death which seemed to hover over, was the star of hope. But in this parting of those we love, there is never complete resigna- ton with those left in grief and to themin this sad hour is extended sympathy most sincere. The hus- band and two children, Mrs. J. Q. Heron and Otto Russell live to feel the vacancy that has been created in their home.
 The deceased's maiden name was Emily Jane Phillips, her birth place Louisville Kentucky, September 2, 1852, making her age at death 50 years, 5 months and 16 days.
 She was married at an early age, in Indianapolis, to Zane Quincy Russell, and with him came to Arkansas in 1886, first locating at Malvern and only eight years ago becoming resi- dents of Newport.
 The funeral services were held at the home at three o'clock Wednesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. c. B. Norton, the burial following at Wal nut Grove Cemetery.
 At tender age the deceased had become member of the Presbyterian church and her life reflected with credit the faith she had professed.
 Many are the tributes that are paid to her sweet character by those who knew her unselfishness, who remem Der the pleasure that was hers through acts of kindness, the zeal and earnest ness with which she fulfilled her duty in the relations of mother and wife. Heaven is richer in the souls of such christians and the world better throu gh the never dying influence of their lives.

HOUSE CONCURS IN
 SENATE AMENDMENTS

Little Rock, Feb. 17.-House bill No. 96 (Myers), for the protection of mussels during the spawning season, was taken up for action on senate amendments.
 MT. Matheny moved that the house do not concur in the amendment.
 MT. Myers opposed the motion. He said there was nothing unfair in the bill He said protection to the mus sells was necessary and unless given the button factories would have to close. The Business Mems League of Newport has spoken for the bill. The poor man could use tongs and forks for getting out the mussels. Dr. Myers strongly opposed the use of the instrument called the "crowfoot.n
 MT. Bell supported MT. Matheny's motion and declared the bill would prohibit the poor man from engaging in the shell business. Responsibility for draining the rivers of shells lies with the wealthy parties using dredges. He argued that it would be ruinous to the poor people of his sec- tion to pass the bill. In his town, Bradford, the shell business amounted to $35,O0O in a year. This bill, he said, would destroy the industry.
 MT. Keel, who said he lived in the heart of the pearling region, hoped the house would concur in the senate amendments. He argued in favor of the measure and said it would protect
