Chicago, ILL.,, March 11.-Nearly 5000
union painters will be locked out to-
day. 500 cement finishers and helpers
will strike 2,400 brewery workmen will
notify the Chicago Brewers Associa-
ton that they will not accept an offer
OF Is cents week increase and the
Team Owners Association will be in
formed by the Truck Drivers Union
that the workmen will not renew last
years agreement.
The lockout of painters, who demand
IS cents an hour, will not be felt to
a great extent, as this has been a dull
month, owing to the weather. The en-
ployers see in the controversy an OPP
portunity to unite all contractors in
a new association. The union men say
that strike at this time will not in
convenience them to any great extent.
Both sides agree that the trouble will
last until the weather sets in.
All union cement finishers and help
ers will meet at a. La Sale street this
morning at 8 o'clock. Only those con-
tractors who sign the union agreement
can engage workmen. The strike is for
an increase of 10 cents an hour.
The brewery workmen yesterday re-
jected an offer Of the Employers of q
cents week advance. and by a vote
of COS to % declared in favor of a strike
if they were not given an increase OF
$3.50 week. The brewey workers who
were offered $13 week for a ten-hou1
day voted to reject the offer, unless the
workday was made nine hours.
Five thousand truck drivers at a
meeting in Brands Hall Yesterday Vot-
ed unanimously against renewing last
years scale, as demanded by the Team
Owners Association. The sentiment
of the meeting was that no agreement
that did not provide for an increase ir
wages would be accepted. The unior

DULUTH HEIGHTS GOSSIP: !.
BRIEF AND SOCIAL NEWS

The regular March snow storms have
put some of the suburban residents in
rather gloomy mood during the past
week. This thing of walking up and
down town every day is getting quite
monotous, but such is life in the cold
wintery north of Minnesota. We can't
blame the street railway company, be-
cause that very much abused corpora
ton has done everything in it's power
to keep the Highland line open. We
can't blame the weather man, because
he missed his guess this week. Prob
ably it will be necessary for us to get
on the right side of the god of the
weather, before We can expect any con-
tinued relief.
With all our inconvenience it has
again been proven that Duluth Heights
is the most favorab1y located suburb
in the city. Our cars were running
when others were still stalled.
We can thank Tom Armstrong large
ly for this. He has taken a certain
pride in Duluth Heights, and even if
the wind does continue to blow and
cover up his good work, he starts it
again with a new vigor, and carries it
on until the cars are put in operation.

PORT HURON, Mich, March TO-
Late reports from Goderich. Port CLARK

very thick along the Canadian shore
of Lake Huron and extends out as far
as the eye car reach. Along the shore
it is piled from twenty to thirty feet

the ice from this end of the lake, al
though at Lakeport there are heavy
fields. Ice in the St: Clair river has
moved down to just above St. Clair
The warm rain Of the past few days
has softened it some, but it is still

VALUE OF THE
HEARTY LAUGH
From the Omaha World Herald:

= "
What is there in hearty laugh thai
clears the moral and mental atmos-
phere and gives man or woman new
physical Vigor? There is nothing like
it for banishing miasmas and doubts.
There is something infectious in its
merriment, too. If we only had more
time for spontaneous gayety and JOY
We would be better physically, mental
ly and morally. The man who laughs
seldom is a dangerous one Caesar
recognized that centuries ago. Even
if one hurts no one but himself, he is,
nevertheless, injuring society at large
by reducing it's sum total of mirth and
jollity. And he is sure to hurt him.
self, because he denies himself the SIM
pie, innocent joys which make men
one with mankind. There is something
tonic in a hearty laugh. It frees the
spirit and quickens the blood.

every year by the Nile. Under such

have some means of reidentifying the
