LUMBER 7ALLYMEN Walk
OUT, ASKING WORE WAGES,
DECLINING COMPROMISE
SI7LAIIONAPPEARS Ol4LNOUS
Strike Nay MUolve Otbev Unions ana
Phi Stop to the Building. Iudushy.

OAKLAND Aug. 21.--One hundred
members of the local union of lumber
taliymen went on strike this morning
to enforce a demand for an increase IN
wages OF so cents day. The Alameda
County Lumber Dealers Association
offered the men an increase of 20 cents
a day over the present scale of SO. but
the members of the union, at meeting
this evening. refused to consider the
compromise and have declared that/un-
less the demand for a scale of So 90 is
acceded to at once the longshoremen
and lumber handlers will be called out
and the building industry OF Alameda
County Will be effectually tied up until
the Lumber Dealers Association ac-
cepts the terms of the union.
About a week ago the members OF
Tallymen's Union No. 225 adopted
resolution that after Monday. August
21. they would demand an increase in
wages, and failing to get the raise
would strike. AS soon as the demand
for the increase was made on the mem
bers of the Lumber Dealers Association
the latter offered an increase of 25
cents a day explaining that 1t was i'm
possible to meet the demands at present,
but the officers of the union refused to
listen to the proposed compromise, ana
on the failure of the association to ac-
members Of the union were ordered to
strike.
Coming at this time, when contrac-
tors and builders are having difficulty
in getting enough material TO complete
buildings already in course of construc-
ton, the trouble assumes serious as
pect, and should the lumber handlers
and longshoremen be called out. build
ing operations will come to an almost
avoidable loss OF thousands of dollars
to contractors and builders who are not
involved in the controversy between the
Lumber Dealers Association and the
union.
The members Of the union refuse to
discuss the trouble except to declare
that the men are out to stay unless
their demands are complied with, and
they say they will have the support OF.
every labor organization in the county
should the strike prove long one. The
officers of the organization are mute
concerning the strike and the plans OF
the union.
l. B. Bowen, the business agent OF
the Building Trades Council Of Alameda
County. said tonight that as the Tally
mems Union was not affiliated with the
council he was not able TO say wnat
effect the strike would have on the
building Industry or whether the mem
bers of unions affiliated with the coun-
ell would take up the cause OF the
taifynen.i Up to a late hour to-nient
no one could be found who was able
TO saw whether or not the lumber
handlers and longshoremen had decided
to strike at once in sympathy with the
tallymen or wait until II was round
that a settlement was Impossible Witn-
out further trouble.

succeeded in demonstrating the cow
whale. The whales are not exactly
household pets yet, but according to Pro-
fessor Muller, their owner, they are very
useful. Fifty of the whales come daily to
a little Inlet and are milked, each of them
giving five to seven hogsheads a day of
milk. When the adventurous Professor
Muller began to experiment with cow
whales he found great difficulty in per-
suading them to keep still while being
milked. The whales could not understand
the process. But they like good things to
eat, particularly sweets, They were lured,
few at time. into an inlet, where
they were fed with choice whale food.
At last they were taught that no milk
meant no food. And they submitted

AN EXECUTION BY GUILLoT1NE.

| A young man in Cologne had mur
 dered his sweetheart and been con- demned to death. The execution, hy the iguillOtine-for the left bank of the
 Rhine was still under the Code Ma
 poleon'-was to take place at dawn of
 day on q public square between the
 cathedral and the Rhine, and before
 the eyes of all who choose to witness
 it. The trial had excited the whole
 population to high degree; now the
 people looked forward to tue final ca
 tastrophe with almost morbid interest.
 My locksmith guardian was of the
 opinion that neither he nor I should
 miss the opportunity of beholding 50
 rare a spectacle. Long before sun
 rise he awoke me, and together we
 went to the place of execution in the
 gray morning light. We found there
 a dense crowd, numbering thousands
 of men, women and children. Above
 them loomed the black seaffold of the death machine. Deep silence reigned;
 only low buzz fioated over the multi tude when the condemned man ap- peared on the scaffold. and then all was silence again. The sturdy lock smith held me up in his arms, so that might look over the heads of the crowds in front. The condemned cul- prit stepped forward; the assistant of the executioner strapped him to board which extended from his feet to his shoulders, leaving his neck free: the victim glanced up at the axe, sus- pended from cross beam; the next instant he was pushed down so that his neck lay under the gleaming blade: the axe fell like flash of lightning. severing the head from the shoulders at a whisk. A stream of blood spurt- cd into the air. but the hideous sight was quickly concealed from the gaze of the public by dark cloth. The whole deed was done with the rapIdity 1 of thought. One scarcely became con l sciOus of the terrible shock before it . was over. \ dull murmur arose from |, the OnlOOking throngs. after which ] they silently dispersed: the scaffOld was taken down and the blood on the i ground covered with sand before the first rays of the morning sun shone upon the catehdral towers. walking home shuddering md trembling. and finding it impossi- lle to eat my breakfast. Nothing 'Ould have induced me to witness an- 'ther execution.-Carl Schurz in Me- Cures. H

lem play which Miss Nethersole fails to illuminate. The work of her lead ing man, Hamilton Revelle, on the con- 1 trary, is brilliant.
 The play turns upon the painful com plications which follow divorce where the divorced people have child. Pain 1 and complexity are magnified to the torture point by the fact that both par ties, though remarried, remain in love
 with each other. They are brought to-
 gether at the bedside of their i'll son, who is rescued from death by their combined efforts at period when he is living by arrangement under his fa- ther's roof.
 The father intrudes himself at night into the chamber in which the mother is sleeping, which happens to be the
 bridal chamber of twelve years pre- vious and the birthplace of the son. Here, with the fresh memory of the agonies through which both have just passed and under the influence of old scenes and associations, the old love caytesboth off their feet.
 It Is problem play, of course, but the problem is presented seriously and honestly. Its crucial point Is presented at the very beginning, in the fact that the father of the heroine is Protes- tant, who accepts the state law as the sole arbiter of marriage. The mother, on the other hand. is a Catholic, who believes solely in the authority of the church.
 Legally Marianne Miss Nethersole) is the wife of her second husband. Ec- clesiastically she belongs to the first. In the opinion of the author it would seem that the law of nature, which de- cides for the supremacy of parentage over all other relations, declares that she is he wife of her child's father.
