Washington, Aug. MIR. Wright,
commissioner of the labor bureau, in
the 18th annual report of the bureau,

of a comprehensive inquiry into the

The inquiry into the cost Of living
shows that living for workingmen's
families having under $1,000 income

tain this average increase the labor
bureau secured the income and ex-
penditure in detail of 1867 families in
33 states, retail prices being taken.

MINERS HsrANp PAr..
They VIII Insist on Operators Obey.
Ing Umpire WrIght's Decision or
the Check Weiehman Question.

Scranton, Pa, Aug. 3.-When the
meeting of the United Mine Workers
executive board of District No. 1 ad-
journed yesterday District President
Nichols gave out the following state
ment:
THE executive board of District No.
1 decided to approve of the position
taken by the miners representatives
on the board of conciliation.
"The instructions of the Pittston
convention will be complied with The
board adjourned subject to the call of
the chair, in order to allow the officers
to investigate and report back the
names of such collieries at which col
lections for check weighmen and check
docking bosses are not being made in
accordance with Umpire Wright's de-
cision."
II is understood that the adjourned
meeting will be held in about q week
or ten days.
There is much speculation as to the
real purpose of the board in delaying
the calling of strikes at the collerfes
where the check weighmen deductions
are not made.
The operators representatives say
there will be no meeting of the con-
ciliation board until the miners rep
resentatives call 1t and agree to take
up the check weighman question n

TROUBLES
In New York City are Likely
to Result in
A STUPENDOUS LOCKOUT.
Building Trades Alliance Orders
a Strike on Big Buildings.
FIGHT FOR THE OPEN SHOP.
Employers are Reported to be Prepar-
ing for Great Struggle with the
Unions-The Feeling Is Bitter on
Both Sides and Is Growing Worse.

New York, Aug. 2.-The Building
Trades Alliance, made up of IL unions.
declared a strike yesterday against
the George A. Fuller Construction Co.
and work was tied up upon five large
buildings.
Philip w. Einsheimer, president Of
the Building Trades Alliance, who de-
clared the strike on the subway last
week, is responsible for the strike
yesterday. The reason given for call
ing out the men was because of q
claim that the Fuller company has
been using stone from non-union quar-
ries and trimming yards.
In some quarters 1t is said that the
actual reason for the strike was fear
that the Building Trades Employers
association would declare a lockout
AT meeting yesterday the board OF
governors of the Employers associa-
ton formulated a letter which was
sent to each of the unions in the
Building Trades Alliance. While II
was admitted that the action taken
was OF very decided Importance, the
employers absolutely refused to reveal
the contents of the letter. Charles L.
Eidlitz, president of the association
said that the stand taken was firm,
but he would not admit that anything
like an ultimatum had been sent.
Another member of the board said
the resolution adopted rescinded an
agreement previously made with the
unions, but he declined to be more
specific.
The strike and yesterdays move Of
the employers grew out OF a series OF
disputes that promise to involve the
employers and the union men in the
building trades in another gigantic
struggle. The feeling is extremely
bitter between the two sides and bott
have been preparing for the fight thai
appears to be beginning. The employ.
ers assert that If they are driven TO il
they will declare war to the finish OF
the unions and employ non-union mer
under an open shop policy.
The employers claim that ever since
the arbitration agreement was entered
into year ago, after the peaceful set
tlement of the long fight in the build
ing trades, there has been q dispo
sition on the part of some Of tbs
| unions to violate t. They say the sub
way strike is such violation, as 1,
