PRACTICALLY UNCHANGED.

The strike situation between the
carpenters and contractors remains
unchanged, with the exception of the
signing of the scale by Messrs. Dick
son and Boult. Those who have not
signed the scale are practically idle,
although there lis plenty to do. The
firm of Dickson and Boult have wisely
ignored the mighty Builders and
Dealers Exchange and did their own
bidding, regardless of the little pal
try fine imposed on them. We are
glad that this firm sees things in the
right light, and that their work still
goes on. The contractors are deter
mined not to sign, and the Carpenters
Union are as equally determined to
stick, SO there may be expected long
fight. There is plenty Of work for all
union carpenters in the city and ad-
jaeent territory, so there will be no
idle mechanics except those who want
to be. Out of town demands for car
penters have been coming in rapidly
and union ones at that, SO this looks
bad for the Exchange.

May be the Kidnappers.

Knoxville, Tenn. There is strong
suspicion that Silas Ison and Thomas
Wright, the mountaineers who were
captured at. Cumberland Gap, Tenn,
recently after having been shot and
wounded by officers, had hand in the
mysterious disappearance of Edward
L. Wentz, the young millionaire who
has been missing since last October.
Three garments discovered in a house
at Glamorgan, which Ison and Wright
formerly occupied, are believed to
have been the property of Wentz. One
of these, pair of riding trousers, has
on 1t what appears to be bloodstains.
The woman Of the family now occu-
plying the house declares that the
trousers are identically the same in
appearance as those worn by Wentz.
The other garments are tailor made,
but unfinished, and bear a tag which
shows that the cloth came from Louis
vile. The men suspected in this con-
nection are now in Jail at Tazewell,
Tenn.

TRAFFIC IN YOUNG GIRLS.
st. Louis Woman Jerked Up By Fed
eral Authorities.

ST. Louis. On complaint Of Inspec-
tor James r. Dunno, of the United
States department of commerce and
labor, Mrs. Sophia Weinzirt was ar
rested and arraigned before United
States commissioner on charge of
importing girls to st. Louis from Eu-
rope, especially from Germany, for
improper and unlawful purposes. The
arrest followed the arrival week ago
of ten girls from Germany. 1t is al
legged by Dunno that they came to st.
Louis in answer to advertisements in
foreign papers offering positions with
good salary at light house work in st.
Louis. 1t was these advertisements,
it is alleged, which first attracted the
attention of the department of labor.
Inspector Dunno says that the girls
were taken to Mrs. Weinzirt's home
and that proposals were made to them
that they engage in improper and un-
lawful pursuits. Mrs. Weinzirt was
held in $4,000 bond pending a prelim-
mary hearing next Monday. The girls
will be taken care of by the federal
labor bureau pending the settlement
of the case.
