Shortage Is Caused by Democratic
Primary Fights.

on account of the almost unprecedented extent Of
the fighting for leadership at the Democratic pri-
maries in Brooklyn tts year, the official con-
tractors for the ballot paper have found them
selves unable to supply the demand. Several Of
the conesting leaders have besieged their printers

WANT MCARREN'S HEAD.
Labor Men to Fight Democrats If
He Is Not Dropped.

The labor leaders of Brooklyn served notice on
State Chairman Cord Meyer yesterday that Sem
ator McCarren would have TO resign as chair
man Of the State executive committee. If he
is not promptly dropped from Democrats coun-
sells. the labor say that hundred thou
SAND Democrats identified with tn, building
trades will vote against Parker and Davis.
Two weeks ago the Board Of Building Trades.
having apparently satisfied itself that Senator
McCarren was interested in building operations
at Coney Island where non-union labor
employed. wrote a complaint to Chairman
Meyer. saying that If the State committee did
not remove McCarren from his official post and
prevent him from taking part in an official
pacity in the further conduct of the Democratic
campaign the members Of the building trades
unions would vote and work against the Demo-
cratic ticket.
Chairman Meyer passed the letter around
among his corporation associates at Dem
ocratc national headquarters. and it
everywhere pronounced a huge joke He
told the LABOR men that the matter
within his Jurisdiction. but that
he would look II up and write them about II.
Then Mr.. Meyer and his friends smiled at the
easy" time they had of disposing of the labor
men. Yesterday delegation of labor men
called on Chairman Meyer and presented the
following letter for his immediate consideration:
am directed by the Board of Delegates OF the
Building Trades of Brooklyn and vicinity TO request
answer to the resolutions presented to you re-
Gently by delegation of this body, per promise.
I am further directed TO say that unless proper
acknowledgement is given within a reasonable time
the board will be compelled 10 carry out the pur-
port OF the resolutions to its full extent against
the Democratic party.
Mr.. KeneaIey said last night that he had de-
livered this ultimatum to Mr.. Meyer and that
the time was up He said the labor people
were not going to allow Senator McCarren to
pose a friend of labor and then string the
carpenters and building trades unionists at the
first opportunity
Chairman Meyer said. when by a Trib-
reporter last night that ne had not received
Mr.. Burns's letter. The committee which pre-
scented the letter consisted of William KeneaIey,

TO LAFAYETTE HOMES

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, March 22.-Two
houses in Lafayette were struck by light
ming during a severe electrical storm this
morning, the bolt doing considerable dam
age and causing panics in each case. The
homes of Mrs. Annie Mack at 1918 South
street and John Game. of 1904 Cason street,
were those struck, and both at the same
time and in the same place. Harry and
Wesley Mack. sons of Mrs Mack. were
asleep on the second floor when the bolt
struck the house and tore away one side of
the structure. leaving them exposed to the
wind and rain. The boys were hurled from
their beds and covered with debris. which
caught fire, but was soon extinguished. Both
were scratched and bruised. The side of the
house must be rebuilt.
The Game home also struck close to
one of the bedrooms on the second floor,
in which John and George Game were sleep
ing The side of the house was torn away
and burst into flames. The heavy downpour
of rain prevented the destruction of the
house. The men were injured but not seri-
ously The damage to the house is esti-
mated at 500.
