Carpenters Refuse to Work Because
Nom Union Masons Laid the Foun-
dation-Eine Will Not Be Paid.

Wabash, Ind, June 22.-Because the
congregation refused to pay a fine of
500 to the local carpenters union, the
contract for building the Friends new
edifice, on the south side here, has been
relet. a nonresident, Cyrus Eppley, of
Converse, getting the work. The
church proposed to build the structure
itself and employed Americas Y. Lang
ston, non-unoion contractor, to super
intend the work.
Langston hired non-union masons on
the foundation, and the union carpen-
ters not only refused to work under
him, hut imposed a fine of 500 on the
congregation. which they insisted
should be paid before they would touch
the job. The sturdy Friends declined
to accede to the terms and gave the
contract to Eppley at a stated sum, and
he will employ non-union labor.

THAYER MAKES EXPLANATION
Tells the Commerce Board About
Those Coal Car Distributions.


Washington, June - John i
Thayer, fourth vice president Of the
Pennsylvania railway. was before the
interstate commerce board. and ex-
planned the matter Of supplying ears
to coal mines He said the trouble
was that the output Of coal had -
vastly increased that it was impossi-
bic for the road to keep up with the
demand for coal cars He explained
the method Of supplying cars to coal
mines and said 1t was as fair as could
be devised.
4 report on the whole question, pre-
pared by Thayer and Pngh, Was sub
mitted TO the commission in confidence,
Thayer remarhing that the Pennsyl-
vania did not care to increase its trou-
bles in the financial deals with the
owners Of private cars. Thayer said
there were $4,000 individual cars III
operation on the Pennsylvania system,
and that their use aroused the sus-
PIGEONS and jealousies Of the small
shipper Cassatt's plan would be adopt
ed within the next few months.
Thaycr said that it would be diff
cult to devise any system that would
prevent charges Of car discrimination
where private cars and those furnished
by the railroads are operated together.
The road is now trying to get rid OF
the private cars.
