Wagins a Strong Fight and Boosting
Fair Firms Day and Night.
The Painters and Decorators are
making things lively for the unfair
employers, and have instituted a
scheme that beats the boycott a block.
Instead of knocking on the unfair
firms the union men are boosting the
fair firms, and the result is that the
unfair firms are looking for business,
while the fair firms are looking for
men. Cards bearing the names of A.
Cornell, Lincoln Wall Paper and Paint
Co., w. N. Sickels and the Lincoln
Sash and Door Manufacturing Co., all
fair firms, are being circulated and
union sympathizers asked to throw
all possible patronage to them.

the union is in better shape than it
was before the late trouble. 1t has

Capital Auxiliary No. II has been
meeting at the homes of the members
since it's organization, but the Auxil-

that this method has become unhandy.
At special meeting held at the home

was decided to rent Bohanan's hall

ing was changed from Friday after
noon to Wednesday afternoon. It was
also decided to hold the regular month

meeting in each month.

Fauquier county, Va, took for his bride

He bore an excellent reputation in the
community, He was a lawyer. with a
moderate income, but 1t is not known
he lived far beyond his means. He ae-

farms. He had at least six farms in
Passaic county, a home in Paterson,
where he maintained horses and car
riages for himself, his wife. and his son,
who was recently graduated from q
medical college in Baltimore.
Bought Much Land.
BeIcher's extravaganza, however, was
almost entirely in domestic affairs.
Wherever he saw piece of farm land
that suited his fancy he bought it.
One of his most recent purchases was
q farm in Preakness, on which stood d
house said to have been the headquar-
ters of General Washington on his
march through that region. 4eleher
caused TO be erected in front OF the en-
trance to the farm a sign with the
legend: Washington headquarters.

raised there, and about three weeks ago
