PLUMBERS BUSY TIME
WORK AHEAD: INSURES ACTIVE
SEASON FOR ALL. INTERESTS
STRIKERS START THEIR OWN
SHOP. IS. 3D. $ ~.

Two hundred frst-class plumbers can
find employment and good wages for
the summer in Minneapolis. The large
amount of new work under way insures
a busy season. At the present time,
however, the master plumbers and their
employees are at outs and have been
since April /. The fight, on the side of
the masters, is for. the open shop at
any, cost. -.,.- u. .,....-.. NJ !, Ill
Since the strike began many good
plumbers have come to- the city from
other large cities and from the outIy-
ing towns. The extra amount of work
this season has created a shortage and
the masters are still looking for good
men. It is claimed by the masters that
the new men now in the field are doing
more work than almost twice their
number Of union men. ~.
81 have four men working for me, -
said a large employer today. fThey
are doing the work seven men did be;
some good men before, but they did not
dare to work their BEST, If a. man
went at job to do it right, yet as
rapidly as possible. he was hauled up
and fined. actually had men admit to
me that they loitered because they did
not dare work fast for fear of fine
by the union. These men are working
at a reasonable rate but are getting
away with more work than I could get
from union men under the old system.
Moreover, the work is we'll done. All
employers are carefully inspecting the
work done by these new men and will
see that it is done right.' II
AS yet neither side shows any sign
of weakening. The iourneymen are all
out and have started cooperative
shop. The masters are standing pat
on their agreement and are sticking fol-
the open shop Work is being traded
from one shop to another and good men
are loaned for a day or two at a time
to help care for special work.

FOSTER MOTHER
LOST Her CHILD.
PATHETIC INCIDENT OF THE
COURT GRIND.
Child Wept Bitterly at the Separation
aud Foster Mother Was Deeply at
fected-Affair Believed to Be but the
Beginning Of Trouble for Two Cor
coran Families.

Louise Allard Of Corcoran, who has
caused several disturbances lately by
refusing to surrender the custody of
3-year-old Clara Notice to her father,
was in Judge John Day Smith s court
orom today in obedience to writ of
habeas corpus.
The foster-mother turned the child
ordered to do SO by the court. The lit
tie girl knew no law to compel her to
give up the only mother she had ever
known, and when Mrs. Allard dropped
her into her fathers arms and rushed
away, the child cried and struggled
fiercely to break away and follow her.
The hearing was brief. Notice tes-
titled that his wife died when the child
was born. He had six other children
to care for and when Mrs. Allard, who
had been called in as nurse, offered
81 week, he consented. For three
years, he said, he had paid the 81 a
week besides furnishing clothes for the
little girl. Last March he informed
Mrs. Allard that he wanted his child
She refused to give her up. When the
aid of a town constable was secured,
the Allards stood by their guns and held
the child. s
W. T. Coe, for the respondent, said
his client had not been paid for cloth
ing and board. as agreed, and that she
did not want to give the child up until
the bill was settled. He did not claim
that Mrs. Allard had any legal right to
retain possession Of the child, as her
redress lay in an action to recover on
contract = ~ =, =. = =
Upon this showing, Judge Smith or
ered the respondent to give the child
to it's father. When the order was in
terpreted to her, the mother
burst into tears. She kissed the bright:
eyed little tot repeatedly and finally
| rushed across the room and threw her
into the arms of the father. 49, .
With the crying baby held fast
Notice left the courtroom and the
| building. This is probably but the be-
ginning of trouble between the fami
lies, who are as IMMERSED in English
as they are in the law.

old INIERU.RBAN
TO FAIR GROUND.
CONNECTING LINE TO BE BUILT
ON SMELLING AVENUE.
This Street Railway Improvement Is
Expected to Double the Facilities for
4 Handling Crowds from Both Cities
New and Heavier Track AL Along
This End Of Como Line. d.

This seasons work on the twin city
railway system will have an important
bearing on the attendance at the state
fair, which opens Sept. 4.sisFor several
years past the Como-Harriet line has
been quite inadequate to handle the
crowds which attend the fair. In fact,
the attendance at the fair on good days
has been strictly limited to the carry
ing capacity Of one line, and it has
repeatedly proved it's inefficiency.
Il Before the coming fair opens the
streetcar facilities for the fair grounds
will have been doubled. This will be
accomplished by the ng-talked-of and
much -wished-for Smelling avenue line,
which will extend from University ave-
nue. up Smelling avenue to the fair
grounds, thus making the old interur-
ban available for state fair traffic. Side
poles are already being set for this
line, and it will be ready for opera
ton long before fair week.
people living in the Midway district
may reach the fair grounds direct. It
means that all people living in that
part of South and Southeast Minneap-
oils adjacent to the old interurban
may. reach the fair grounds without
travelling to Hennepin avenue and there
transferring to the Como line. It means
also that when the Como line is loaded
the traffic may be divided with the old
interurban. 1t means that thousands Of
people living west Of Rice street in st..
Paul can more easily reach the fair
grounds by the new ronte than by the
Como line. 1t means that all people in
st. Paul will have two lines to the
fair, thus greatly relieving the conges-
tion on the Como line.
Other improvements on the system
will also count for much in handling
the state fair crowds. For a year or
SO past that part of the Como line on
Fourth street Sc has been in such bad
condition that it has been impossible
to operate cars, as RAPIDLY as desired
during the fair crush. The replacing
of this part of track. with heavy rails
and the rebuilding OF, the Central ave
nue. tracks and those on the west side
Of the river along Hennepin avenue to
Sixth, street, which will be done later
in the season, will put this end of the
Como line in frst-rate condition.
The street railway company expects
to have many more cars available for
service this year, and, with the new
terminals at the fair grounds, will be
able to take care Of greatly augmented
crowds at maximum speed. II. H..
