BIG STRIKES THREATENED.
Wage Increase, Union Recognition and
Internal Strife the Grievances.

Wage Increase, Union Recognition and
Internal Strife the Grievances.
New York. March 2s.--Three big
labor strikes probably viii take place
here May unless the grievances shall
have been settled before then. One
Of the strikes is for an increase OF
wages; another is for recognition Of
the union. while the third is because Of
a trade dispute between two unions.
More than 10000 men are likely to be-
come involved.
News OF these fresh disturbances
came out at the regular meeting Of
the Central Federated Union. A rep
resentative Of the rock drilIers and ex-
cavators unicn annouced that $4,000
members OF the union viii stop work
May unless their demands for higher
wages are compiled with.
The present wage is 81 10 1925 for
rockdrillers and $3.50 to $3.50 for ex-
cavators.
The asphalt workers. over 5000
strong, ack for recognition OF their
union. Thus far the companies have
refused to recognize asphalt workers,
as they have granted such concession
to the fGremen whom they hold re-
sponslble for the men employed under
them.
Five thousand carriage and wagon
workers threaten a strike because OF
the suit they will have with the
Brotherhood of Painters. They as
sert that the brotherhood is endeavor-
Ing 10 do the work Of painting wagons
and carriages done by the painters
union, while the carriage workers
want this work to be done by their
body. Of which the painters also arc
members.
1t is estimated that more than so
per cent OF all construction work Is
already at a standstill owing to the
deadlock between the bricklayers and
their employers. All the union brick
iayers in Manhattan and the Bronx,
$4,000 in number. have been out for
some days. Their strike naturally has
caused the idleness of several thous-
and men in other branches of the
building trades and there is no ap-
parent prospect for immediate settle
ment.

New York, March 2s.-In a sermon
before his congregation in Brooklyn,
DR.. Newell Dwight Hills has freely
expressed himself on the servant prob
lem.

sad, ito the nurse grl who takes care
of your children. You never recon-
pense your cooks adequately for what
they do for you by their good cook
ing, which helps to make sweet temper
and sunshiny dispositions. Most of
the good thinking that is done on
Monday is due to well cooked dinner
on Sunday. You never can pay them
enough wages; you ought to send
them to as many entertainments as
you go to yourselves; you ought to
make them part of the family.
There's many a servant in the
kitchen, or nurse girl. who stands
higher with God than the wealthy
mistress who treats her as a menial.
There are no menial duties in caring

trician families of the world"
Dr.. Kills then championed the old

would not hold together without them.

Port Angeles, Wash, March 27.--
Penned for five days in a forest cabin
with her seven children. at the mercy
of her maniac husband, Mrs. William
Bowers was rescued from her peril by
the capture of the man by a gang of
lnen from a neighboring shingle mill
early in the morning, just before help
from this city reached her. The oldest
child is 12 and the woman is in deli
cate condition.
Sheriff Hopkins, accompanied by
Customs Inspector Fisher and Deputy
Sheriff Van ~Welch, drove is miles
over uncovered forest roads to the
cabin. Upon arrival they found that
the insane man mad been overpowered
and bound by a rescue party which
had preceded them by few hours.
After terroriznig his family and the
neighbors who dared to venture near
with murdedous threats, the man had
finally run wild in the woods, only
partially clad, all the night before,
and although weakened by his violent
exertions and total abstinence from
food, 1t took the combined efforts of
the three officers to bring him to
town.
Bowers has resided in this vicinity
for some time, having father and
brother at Freshwater bay. He had
been working near there for five weeks
and had been home but day or two
when he became insane. He now
labors under the halluelnaton that he
has murdered his entire family.
He was committed by the court to
the asylum. The family, which is now
destitute, win be brought to town and
cared for here.

WHO INVITED BURTON /?
RepOrt That He Is to Address
Kansas Day Club.

Is Senator Burton expecting to speak
at the Kansas Day banquet Friday
night? If so, who authorized anyone
to invite him to do so?
An Associated Press dispatch from
ST. Louis says:
"A telegram was received by Senator
Burton from David R. Mulvane. Re
publican national committeeman from
Kansas, asking him to address the an
nual Kansas Day banquet in Topeka
Friday. Senator Burton wired his ac-
ceptance."
The Topeka Capital, Mr.. Mulvane's
personal organ and formerly Mr.. Bur-
toms organ. published the same state
ment this morning.
Luther Nellis, secretary of the KAN
sas Day club, says he knows nothing
of any invitation to Senator Burton to
speak.
1T is possible that Congressman Muir
dock. president of the club. may have
authorized the invitation" said Mr..
Nellis today. II would neither deny
nor affirm the report. l invited the
other speakers, but l know nothing of
any invitation to Senator Burton to
make a speech"
Senator Burton evidently gave out
the informa ton himself in St Louis
that he has been invited to make a
speech at the banquet and had ac-
ceQted.

showing is the unusually severe wealth
er that has prevailed during the month
which not only retarded the movement
of trains but greatly increased the cost
of operation.
1t Is admitted that there has been
great reduction in merchandise traffic,
for which the weather is not resDon-
sible. Railroad officials, however, claim
that this is but temporary. and when
spring business opens up merchandise
traffic again will be as heavy as ever.
Fear is expressed, however, that bust
ness this year will not be so heavy as
last, because generally dull conditions
prevail during presidential years.

MAYOR DISCHARGED.
Carter Harrison Released From
Responsibility.

Chicago, Jan. 2S.-Mayor Carter H
Harrison has been ordered by Judge
Tuthill to be Immediately discharged
from custody for any responsibility for
the wholesale loss of life in the Iro-
quoiS theater fire
The judge declared that the mayor
was in no way whatever guilty or liza
bic and that the eoroner's inquiry in
ordering Mayor Harrison held to the
grand jury had put an unjust stigma
on the mayor who had failed in no par
ticular whatever, either in omission or
commission.
Following his release, Mayor Harri-
son made the following statement TO
the Associated Press:
The only possible feature which the
jury were able to find connecting me
with the 1roquois fire disaster, was the al
legged negligence and incompetency of
my appointees, Fire Chief Musharn
and Building Inspector Williams.
want to call attention to the fact that
Chief Musham has been connected with
the Chicago department for 40 years,
beginning at the bottom of the ladder
and winning his way to the position of
assistant chief by the gallant and he
roic conduct of a life time. Upon the
retirement of Chief Sweenie I appoint
ed Musham chief. The appointment
was strictly on merit and met with I'M
animous approval; when the position
of building inspector became vacant I
invited the builders club, the associa-
ton of architects and various other
nonpartisan professional organizations
to nominate the best available man for
the vacancy. They named, in nonlinat-
ing Mr.. William, a Republican, and
gave the strongest testimony to his
character and efficiency. I appointed
him and he entered most earnestly upon
his duties. Both of these men were
ideal appointments. The imputation
of guilt upon these two men is entire
ly unjustifiable, but to strike t me
over their shoulders is little short of
infamy'
In delivering his opinion Judge Tut
hill said:
Il have gone over the testimony of
Fire Marshal Musham and Building
Commissioner William and the mayor
particularly and I can say without
qualification OF hesitation that I find
not one word in the evidence as far as
have examined it, which tends even
remotely, in my judgment, to show
that the mayor had any knowledge OF
this matter or that he was in any re-
spect negligent of any duties imposed
upon him by the laws or rules that
commonly apply to persons who are re-
sponsible for the safety of others.
Il find that there were gross viola
tions, not only of the city ordinances.
but of common rules of safety that
anybody without any expert knowledge
would have said were absolutely essen
tia1 at the Iroquois. But how the
mayor, who is simply at the head OF
the city government could be held re-
sponsible for any misconduct on his
part in view of this evidence I can't
conceive"
