Carpenters Union Replies to Statement
Of President MstxIer.

" rrssIuont mstxiefs
7. d. souden, secretary of the AS
toria carpenters union, last night made
the following announcement with ref
erencc to the attitude OF the union to-
ward the Star theater:
Il want II understood that Manager
Hedrick and Manager Hager have had
nothing TO do with the action of our
union In causing banner TO be carried
about the city urging union men to pa
tronize the two vaudeville theaters built
BY union men. The union has done
this upon Its own responsibility.
"The president Of the Central Labor
Council is out with the declaration tnat
the agitation against the Star theater
In not the work Of the labor council
The facts are as follows: A committee
from the central council was appointed
to investigate the charge that the Star
was built by scab labor, and was given
power TO act. Since that time there
has been no meeting Of the council, and
consequently the statement of the pres-
ident represents his own personal view.
He may consider his announcement as
an excellent advertisement for the.
scab house, but II does not do credit
to any union man. The committee ap-
pointed determined to report to the
council, and leave the matter In the
hands OF that body. The president
says that the committee could not find
that non-union men built the theater,
but this statement is merely supported
by the declaration Of the manager Of
the theater. One OF the members Of
our union worked on the Job for few
days, but quit because all the other men
were scabs. Different members of the
union called at the theater while 1t was
being rebuilt, and not one of the men
at work there could show a card, nor
offer any excuse for not having Gre
dentials The president has accepted
the unsupported statement of the man.

Secretary e. I. French Of the Portland
union, No. so. Mr.. French

"The president Of the labor council
says union performers are employed at
the Star. but let me ask him II the
italian band Is a union organization?
In Portland the band was compelled
to leave one of Cohns theaters because
The union musicians and other union
employees would not work with 1t. I'll
was also compelled to leave the race
rack. at the instance Of the unions.
"As has been said before, scab labor
built the Star theater, and we feel
hat all union men should refrain from
'atronizing It. We have two union
built vaudeville theaters here, and we |
believe the advice contained on our
banner should be followed by union
men generally."-Adv.

STRIKERS LOSE OUT
Fight Against the Packers is
Finally Called OFF,
ENORMOUS SUM IS LOST
over $4,000 Mon Idle for TWO ISvnths,
Which Has Cost Strikers 5000,
900 and Packing Men
$7,5oo,ooo.

A Chicago special says; The strike
of the butcher workmen, which has
been on for the last two months, was
officially declared off Thursday night
by President Michael j. Donnelly Of
the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher workmen of America.
Thursday mornShg MI, DonneIly
telegraphed the members OF the ma.
tional executive committee asking
their consent to an announcement OF
the end Of the struggle, and later in
the day, having received favorable an.
swerG from all, he declared that the
strike OF the members of his organlza.
ton would end at midnight,
The strike Of the members of the
affiliated unions who quit work IN
sympathy with the butchers will also
officially be called off. This was de-
cided on at a meeting of the central
Donnolly Admits Defeat.
Donnelly said his men were defeat
ed and that in order to save his union
from disruption he would order ais
men to return to work, no matter
what course might be taken by other
unions.
AS the other unions have no grley.
ances of their own, but had gone on
strike to aid the butchers, there was
nothing left for them but to follow
the lead of Mr.. Donnelly, and they,
too, decided to call off the strike as
far as they were concerned.
When the packers were advised
that 1t had been decided to end the
strike, they announced that they
would give places as far as possible
to the skilled men, but 1t was said at
the same time that many Of these
men would be unable to secure their |
old places, as in many cases the work |
was being performed in a satisfactory |
manner by men who had been secured |
since the commencement of the
strike.
UnskllIed Men Lose Out.
1t is expected that the majority of
the unskilled men will be unable to
secure their places again, It was the
question of a wage scale for this class
OF men that brought about the strike,
the packers refusing to sign an agree
ment with any class other than skill
ed worlmen,
During the strike approximately 3d.
600 persons have been involved in
the struggle, which is estimated to
have cost the men about s5,O00,OOO in
wages, as against an estimated loss
of s75O0,O00 to the packers in loss Of
business and in increased expenses.
The greatest number of idle men in
Chicago during the strike was 26,6OO,
and the total in the country outside is
estimated to be about the same.
The original cause Of the strike was
a demand by the Butchers Union that
the packers pay to the unskilled work
men IS 1-2 cents an hour, The pack
ers refused an agreement, but offered
to arbitrate the question,
