NEW BUILDING TRADES
ALLIANCE OPENS SHOP
Adopts Constitution and Per-
fects Organization at Mon
days Meeting.
Reported that Carpenters and
Painters Unions Will Not
Affiliate.

The Building Trades council is no
more. At a meeting held Monday
evening in the Kalamazoo block it was
adjourned sine die. At the same mo-
ment Temporary Chairman Samuel Ma
CHAN of the Structural Trades alliance
called the new central body Of the
building trades unions to order, and
work was Immediately started on the
infant.
The machinery was not Well oiled.
and most Of the evening was spent in
adopting the new constitution which
had been thrashed over for several
weeks previous in the Building Trades
council. The main clash came between
the big unions and the small ones on
the matter of per capita tax. The lat
ter were In favor of 5 cents per cap
lta tax. while the large unions, partic-
ularly the painters and the carpenters,
demanded smaller tax. After earn
est and protracted discussion the S
cents per capita tax was adopted
An attempt was then made to elect
the officers for the new alliance. In
TACT, nominations had been opened for
the election of president, but in the
very midst of this procedure motion
to adjourn was put and carried. The
next meeting will be held Monday
evening.
1t is understood that the Carpenters.
and Painters unions, at their meetings
Tuesday evening, refused to ratify the
constitution of the alliance, because of
the high per capita tax. If this is true,
it is hoped that the smaller unions will
not become disheartened. The absence
sof the larger unions will in no way
weaken a central body. It will only
weaken themselves.
If all of the other unions will stand
together, they will most certainly COM

When about half way down the canon
one of the horses fell, breaking the leg

longer ride her horse. There was no tim

again and again, but nothing could be done
for her.

Hugh S. Gladstone tells how he shot an
Indian tiger: 1--WE walked for about a mile
along an ill-defined track through thickish

corners in trees about thirty feet nigh and
about fifty yards one from the other, /

bamboo ladders had been brought and with
the help OF these we climbed UP into our

from the ground, where, with the slightest
breeze and my additional weight, It swayed

uproar. Every beater shouted and many OF

These they beat, fired or whirled with

pandemonium. Excitement ran high and
every ear was strained to catch the first

clapping his hands gently and throwing
pieces of stick into the underground yellow

For a moment she stood about 100 yards

quietly. She was hid from me by a thick
lot of jungle, but turning to my right she

1t was on an elevated station platform.
the other night The young folks, having
been weighed on the penny-in-t the slot
scales, were trying to coax Ma to get on.
Ma was an enormous woman. She app
parently did not relish the idea of having
her weight announced to the wide, wide
world.
"oh, come on, Ma" one OF the young
women urged. We're all so scrawny we
don't get our moneys worth out of the
scales"
So Ma, very picture OF good nature,
dragged herself up from the bunch and
waddled 10 the scales, smiling In a sheepish
sort of way.
AS she stepped on the scales young man
slyly put his foot on and pressed down
with half his weight. The indicator leaped
round the circle and stopped for want OF
room to go any farther.
'There!" said Ma. stepping down tri-
umphantly. You've wasted your money
and you havn't found out how much
weigh, after all"
Il was lot Of fun for the young folks
and Ma let on that she was enjoying her,

increased weight.--Brooklyn Eagle.

+. A. Nash of Omaha president OF the

the weekly session Of the executive COM
mittee of the Commercial club The griev-
ance committee of the club, 20 which had
been referred the complaints about the

ton was discussed from all points and in
all phases.
Mr. Nash told the committed substan-
TALLY what he told the city council few
weeks ago. He said that when the present
company took hold of the plant 1t was
practically in a worn out condition, that
the pipes and mains were in many places
rotten. Every cent the company had
earned during the last five years and all
the money 1t could obtain elsewhere, he
said. had been expended in improving the
plant by putting in new and larger mains

said Mr.. Nash, where / obtained $4,000
more, and this will all be expended on i'm
rowing the service here between this and
lext October, by which time we expect to
he able TO give service that will not cause
any more complaints. i admit the people
of Council Bluffs have had a grievance,
but 1t was not the companys fault"
Asked II the price of gas would be re-
duced, Mr.. Nash said gas would be fur
nished as cheap as 1t could be furnished
in justice to the men who had their money
In the plant. Gas, he explained, could not
be furnished as cheap in a city of $4,000
inhabitants as IL could be in a city with
u population of 10000 Mr. Nash stated
g further that he would be willing TO allow
any committee OF the Commercial club to
!, examine the books of the company and
the company would not ask any more than
the members of such committee as business
men would think that It was entitled TO.
Regarding the electric lighting of the
city. Mr. Nash insisted that the light towers
must come down He said they had long
ago been discarded in other cities and that
with the foliage in the residence streets
here they could not furnish adequate light
He urged the adoption of thirty-two-candle
power incandescent lamps scattered
throughout the residence streets in their
place and said that the company would bC
willing, under new contract II mean
descent lights were adopted in place of the
towers, to give the city a percentage Of
its gross earnings with which the lighting
could be extended.
Regarding the complaint that the power
was furnished from Omaha, Mr. Nash saiS
that II the plant was on this side of tn,
