WILL THEY STRIKE /?
Carpenters Say They viii If Terms
are not Signed.

are not Signed.
The Master Builders association has
not as. yet granted the request of the
Journeymen Carpenters union for an
increase in pay. No conference be-
tween committees representing the
two ganizations has been held in sew
eral weeks. and no efforts have been
made to reach an agreement. The
agreement which the carpenters desire
the builders to sign stipulates that the
new schedule of wages shall go8 into
effect on May /, and therefore two
weeks remain yet in which the build
ers may sign the agreement. If the
agreement is not signed by that tin1e
there, will be a strike among the car
penters and there will be tie-up In
the building trade in this city. Tnat
would be disastrous. as business in the
building line promiss to be rather
brisk this spring and summer.
A leading officer of the Carpenters
union stated to-day that he hid not an
ticipate any trouble, that the builders
would no doubt sign the agreement III
due time. but if they didn't there would
be strike. The union expects no
trouble from several master builders
who do not belong to the Interstate as
sociation
The lathers are having no tr0ubles
for they are receiving the increase in
wages which they requested.

The Tare on Cotton.

1t is stated that the average cost
of baegiDg and ties for bale of cot
tou is from Is to IS cents per hale.
The hagging used is said to run from
one and three-quarter pounds to the
yard, to two and half pounds to the
yard or the average weight of bag
ging used is two pounds to the yard
and the average tie whighs pound
and half. This would make the
average per bale for bagging and ties
twenty pounds and for this the buy
ers seem quite willing to pay, but
now it is claimed by some that the
prices are based upon thirty pounds of
tare for bagging and ties in the Eng
lish markets, and that the buyers
ought not to complain if the farmer
runs his bagging and ties up to the
thirty pounds, for which allowance is
made on the other side. The farmer,
however, seems to be getting an aver
age of 81 for what is costing him 65
or Is cents.
Six yards of bagging and six ties is
the rule as to the covering for cotton.
This notice to the farmers has excited
comment:
To ginners and cottoon planters: !:
The Southeron Cotton Buyers Asso-
citation last year sent out circulars
stating that on account of excessive
amount of bagging, which had pre-
viously been put on cotton at the
gins and the fact that spinners had
been billing back to the cotton mer-
chants amount of excess bagging and
ties above six yards of bagging and
six ties to the bale; that all of the
firms belonging to the association
| would hereafter put penalty of not
less than SOC. per bale upon any bale
| which had upon it above six yards
of bagging and six bands. This pen
atty to be increased according to the
amount of excess bagging there may
be above six yards and six bands so
allowed.
This action on the part Of members
of the association, which was partici-
pated in by practically all the buyers
and cotton mills in the Southeastern
States, had the effect of practically
stopping the placing of excess tare up
on cotton at the gins, as where bales
were offered for sale showing excess
tare it was penalizd in accordance
with the resolution of the Southern
Cotton Buyers Association.
Many other firms have joined the as
ISOLATION, and at the last annual meet
ing resolution was passed renewing
the penalizing Of bales showing excess
tare in accordance with the above,
and to send out circulars to that effect.
Farmers and ginners are also urged
to protect cotton from the weather, as
where it has been exposed to rain, and
become damaged, the damaged cotton
will have to be- picked off or very
heavy allowance made before the bale
will be marketable.
