BRICKLAYERS ANSWER
MASON BUILDERS
Claim Cause of Trouble Is
Unjust Rules Contractors
Want Them to Sign

The statement Of the Mason Build
ers' Association in reference to the
troubles existing between that organi-
zation and the Bricklayers' Union, has
been answered by the latter. The
.Bricklayers' Union in its answer says in
part:
"They state that the members of the
BricSlayers Union left their work
without declaring a strike; demanding
55 cents per hour; and Saturday after
noon as a holiday.
I'VE did ask for an increase Of
cents per hour, from so to 55 cents; an
increase Of 10 per cent. in our wages;
and we think we are justified in that
as the average cost Of living has in
creased 80 11-15 per cent since 1900. We
only ask the capitalist to bear one
fourth and we viii bear the other three
fourths Of the burden. This we think is
a fair proposition, and viii appeal to all
fair-minded men.
"They state that they have conceded
everything we asked for the past eigh-
/ teen years. including so per cent. ad-
vance in wages. This we deny most
emphatically. The Mason Builders
Association have never given us an ad-
vance Of one cent per hour or per day.
as it has just been organized recently.
1.-The true cause of the trouble be-
tween the Mason Builders and the
/ BriclSlayers' Associations is the unjust,
and never before heard Of. arbitrary
rules that the Mason Builders demand
we shall sign before they viii allow one
OF our men to go to work
In defense of the laws Of the Brick
layers Union. which the builders made
some objection to in their statement.
it is claimed by the briclSlayers that
these laws are for the benefit of the
! builders as well as the bricklayers.

DIES ALONE At HOTEL
j. {. StaIey Found Dead i'm His
Room-Cause Unknown.

Jack E. Staley, forty years of age.
employed in the pay roll department of
the Great Northern railroad, died sud-
denly from some unknown cause at the
Clarendon hotel Monday night
Coroner A. w. Miller discovered in
the room a glass and a small paper
box containing preparation similar to
Choral an overdose Of which it was
at first supposed caused his death. At
the post-moFtem examination, which
was held at the morgue last night,
however, nothing was found which
would indicate the cause Of his death.
The contents of the stomach have been
preserved for further examination.
Staley entered the hotel intoxicated
Sunday afternoon and went to his
room. He never left it alive In the
evening Emil Ekuesel, the day clerk,
went to his room and asked him If he
wanted anything. He said no, and
asked not to be disturbed. Monday
night one of the ehambermaids at
tempted to enter the room to clean 1t,
thinking he had gone, but he warned
her away.
Staley is thought to have relatives in

months ago he was employed as night

HUMAN INTEREST
Life Put I'm Books Is Literature,
Says DR.. Burton.

Dr. Richard Burton delivered the
first of a series of four lectures last
night at the Park Congregational
church before a large audience that
followed with the closest attention the
lecturers presentation of the subject,
Literature and Life" Did DR.. Bur-
ton utter nothing but platitudes, his
manner of uttering them would make
them interesting. But he has much
that is fresh and inyigorating TO say
on every subject connected with lit
erature, SO that his manner is merely
the ornamentation which makes doubly
attractive the matter.
AS an introduction to his lecture DR..
Burton told the story of boy who, like
most boys, cared more for play than
for books, but who CHANGED one night
to hear a canto of the Odyssey read
aloud. After that he stayed in e his
own accord to hear the remainuer of
the great epic read. Nobody had told
him, said the lecturer, that it was great
literature. Nobody had frightened. him
by pointing out the excellence of the
technique. 1t appealed. to him as an
excellent story and he desired to hear
all there was Of it.
The boys attitude toward the OdyS-
sey was the average mans attitude
toward all great literature, Ndeclared
DR.. Burton. If not frightened away
by such repellant terms as literature"
and technique" he accepts it and is
interested in it for what it is-a SUI
perb presentation of life. Yet litera-
ture was not life merely. 1t was life
presented by a master craftsman, an
artist A school of so-called realtsts-
and the lecturer mentioned lola par
icularly-believed that all that was
necessary In order to produce. litera-
ture was to place life, just as they
found it, between the covers of book.
They refused to believe that art was
essential to literature.
But DR.. Burton criticised also that
other class that makes the technique
of paramount Importance; that never
permits. the reader to forget the ma
chinery. Homer, Dante and Shakes
peare, he said, by concealing their art
made literature seem really life.
In conclusion, the lecturer declared
that unless a man really loved life, un-
less he appreciated it's splendid pa
geantry, he could not write literature.
His attitude toward life did not mat
ter so much; he q light be an atheist or
he might be a pessimist; but in order
to produce literature he must be in
terested in life.
The second lecture in the series will
be delivered tomorrow night.

ASKS GRAND JURY
TO DEAL LEN|ENTLY
CoroRer's jury Returns Formal
Verdict in the Case of
David Parker.

The inquest into the death of Fred
Watson. the boy who was killed by
David Parker in a barn at Merriam
Park late Saturday night, was held at
the morgue yesterday afternoon. The
jurors were j. d. Booth, j. w. Root, c.
M. O'Connor, w. c. Squires and D. R.
German, and after celebrating an hour
on testimony returned the verdict that
Watson had come to his death from a
blow on the left side of the head with a
piece Of iron pipe, the blow having been
struck by David Parker. The jury rec
commended that clemency be exercised
by the grand jury in it's Indictment
Clinton Watson, brother of the dead
youth, testified that he and his brother
Fred had spent the evening down town,
where they had several glasses of beer.
when they entered the barn, began to
abuse each other and swear. His
brother, he said approached Parker at
the foot Of the runway and after ae-
cusing him of telling his (Watson's)
father of his theft Of tobacco on the
night before said he would push his
face in" He showed Parker who push
ed him so that he fell over a plank to
the floor, but he got up and went at
Parker, who ran up the runway. At
the top Of the runway Watson said he
ought to shoot Parker for doing what
he did. Parker made a vile retort, and
selling the piece Of pipe struck him
over the head.
Watson dropped to the floor and lay
still, blood streaming from his mouth.
Parker, after striking, ran about ten
feet out of the barn, where he stood
holding the. pipe, which he afterward
dropped.
The witness said that his brother
made no attempt to shoot Parker, and
did not threaten to do so, and only
said that he ought to do so.
William McComb, 1893 Marshall ave-
nue., said that he was present at the
time of WatsOn's death. He told the
same story as the previous witness,
with the exception that he claimed that
the dead youth had gone first up the
runway with Parker following. He
said that after Watson had said that
he ought to shoot Parker, he backed
away from him about three feet, keep
ing his hands in his pockets. 1t was
then that Parker struck him, he said.
There was no necessity for the blow,
he claimed, as Watson made no move
to strike or shoot Parker.
The witness was positive that Wat
son had no revolver on his person that
night. Watson had a broken revolver,
he said, for he had seen it in the barn
office the week previous, when he had
shown it to Parker and himself

have been paid to him, inasmuch as he
has no shoulder straps on his voice. He
set, It down in cold, hard lines that Drum
Major Jacob w. Schmidt was bug

duty and has an escort with him when
he goes abroad.
Private Oelsch is a musician. He join

vote all his time to his art and be blows
a. fine note In the band. Being a real
musician at heart and Pole by birth, he
has certain notions of freedom that do
not compert with the limitations of the
enlisted man or the bounds set about
patriotism. He rebels at the exercise of
authority.
Drum Major Schmidt typified to Private
Oelsch. the oppresSor, for the man with
the baton ranks the mere artist in the
band. When Schmidt went on parade,
pointed his baton at the sky line and al
lowed his chest to protrude. Private
Oelseh used to feel like biting of the
mouthpieee of his instrument.
Monday morning Private Oelsch turned
out feeling particularly grouchy. Drum
Major Schmidt looked particularly happy

breast of Private Oelsch inpelled him
to put his opinion of Schmidt into writ

were covered with heavy frost. Using his
finger for stylus. Private Oelsch wrote
OH the window nearest his bunk:

Then he added some other opinionated
