CARPENTERS
TO HOLD OUT
Meeting Held Last Night to Dis.
cuss the Wage Situation
To Meet Bosses.

One day this week it is expected,
the Boss Carpenters and the journey
men carpenters will hold a special
meeting to try, if possible, to reach
an agreement in regard TO the wage
scale
At the meeting of the Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners Union,
Local No. 65, last night, in the Ade-
laide building, in Smith street, it is
said that the matter was talked over
and this morning it was learned by
a NEWS reporter that the carpenters
are determined to stick to what they
asked in the first place, and the boss
es are likewise certain that they can
not afford to give more than what
they offered to give the journeymen,
commencing May |.
At the present time the carpenters
receive 81 h cents an hour, or So a
day for eight hours work. They de-
mand that after May 1 they be paid
at the rate of AZ cents an hour or
s3.36 cents for day of eight hours.
The bosses say thai with the hlgh
prices of everything and the increase
of wages of other mechanics that this
is impossible, but that they will give
them 40 cents an hour. an increase
of 20 cents day, or $500.
In speaking about the matter to a
NEWS reporter, this morning, man
high in labor circles, who has much
TO do with carpenters, said that he
was certain that the carpenters IN
this city would not accept an in
crease of 90 cents, but would hold
out for the demand of SO cents and
that if they did not receive it, they
would be prepared for the trouble.
Another carpenter said that if the
masons and bricklayers were worth
40 cents a day increase, he guessed
the carpenters were worth Sc cents
more day, as the carpenters work
was Just as much as the masons.

Operators Decline Mitchelrs Of
fers-. Presents Their Plans for
a Settlement Of Trouble.
DRAW THE PRESIDENT IN
Strong Impression Exists That Mine
Owners Will Propose Roosevelt
Summon Strike Commission to Re-
view the Entire Dispute--COnfer-
ence Held in New York Today,
When Operators Answer Mitchell.

NEW YORK, April 10.-At the joint
conference of the subcommittee of
the anthracite coal mine owners and
their employees held here today the
operators declined to accept the arbi-
tration plan as presented by the mine
workers and in its stead presented a
counter proposition which, il agreed to
by President Mitchell and his men, will
bind each side for more than two years.
The operators have been working on
the new plan ever since the adjourn
ment of the joint conference of last
Thursday, and the inability of the
presidents of the hard coal carrying
railroads to complete minor details
caused postponements. The exact ma
ture of The counter proposition is not
yet known, as the operators did not
intend to permit it to become public
property until it had been presented To
the miners
1t is said, however that the offer
made involves an arbitra ton plan very
different from the one presented by the
miners, one that will call for the set
tlement of only new grievances. The
operators still maintain the position
that the miners in their demands have
not called attention to anything that
has not already been passed upon by
the anthracite coal strike commission.
There is Il strong impression among
the miners committee that the oper-
ators will propose that President
Roosevelt be requested to summon the
strike commission to review the entire
controversy. They decline, however.
to indicate how they will receive the
suggestion. The commission is familiar
to considerable extent with condi-
tions in the anthracite regions and
therefore would not have TO go over
the entire ground as would be the case
If an entire new set of men We're Sc
lected.
The operators. through representa-
tive, stated that their general policy
had been decided upon and that the
minor details were arranged at full
meeting of the subcommittee prior to
their conference with the miners.
President Mitchell announced that
the last of the bituminous coal oper-
ators in the Pittsburg district who had
held out against the 1903 wage agree
ment had signed the scale. This ac-
ton, he said, clears up the western
Pennsylvania territory and means that
10000 men in that territory. who pro
duce from 35.000,000 to 40000.000 tons
of soft coal a year, will receive an i'll
crease of $50 per cent i'll wages. This
district is the one of which Patrick
Dolan. who voted against the 1903
scale, was president.

STORM WAS
SEVERE ON {.
Heavy Rain and Wind Last Night
Made Life Uncomfortable
and Did Damage.

Because of the storm yesterday and
last night a great deal of trouble and
damage was caused to local mer-
chants and captains of tugs on the
sound could do little or no work as
the tide was high and the water
rough.
Along State and Smith streets, a
number of show cases were blown
over and the glass broken. The troll
lev line was affected TO such an eX-
tent last night that the cars ran with
out schedule, sometimes arriving here
from Railway or New Brunswick
two or three at a time and again a
wait of fifteen or twenty minutes was
necessary as no cars were in sight.
For fear that some of the wires
might be blown down and fall III
such a way that they would cause
damage or death. the Public Service
Corporation did not turn on the street
power in number of streets until
the storm was nearly over.
The fence between school NO. l
and the Dayton property collapsed
and a tree in Rector street was blown
over.

room in flames because of the explo-
sion of lamp.
Mrs. Jensen was at work in one of

ing the door discovered the flames.
Rushing down stairs she called loud
ly for help. A number of men who
were in the saloon at the time ran
upstairs and after a hard battle sue
ceeded in putting out the fire, which

Democrats all over this city are
quietly getting things in shape for the
fall campaign. During the past few
weeks meetings among the different
classes of people have been held.
These meetings for the most part
were semi-secret, the report being
sent forth that they were held TO in
form the foreign class of people how
and where to get an education so that
they would know just where they
stood when they wanted TO vote.
Democrats admitted to a NEWS
reporter yesterday that they were
busy and intended to PUT up a stiff
fight this fall. They did not want to
discuss the subject to any extent.
Besides the election OF a mayor
this fail, a new alderman is to be
elected in the first ward, to succeed
A. J. Rossi, also an alderman in the
third ward to succeed Matthew
Smith and in the fifth ward to sue
ceed Ira r. Grouse. In the first ward
the democrats have little hope, but
in the third and fifth wards new men
will try hard for election.
During the past few years there
have been two factions in the demo-
cratic ranks. This caused great
deal of i'll feeling and trouble, but it
appears as if the radical element, as
it used TO be called, is on top and will
control the nominations.
A we'll known democrat said that
the party had already men picked for
the third and fifth wards. Both these
wards, they claim, are strongly DEM
ocratic and that all that is needed is
the pulling together of the party. In
the first ward they are not so SAN
guine and will not put up much of a
fight.
