AN UL1IMA7UM
CARPENTER CONTRACTORS WILL
"STAND PAT" IN THEIR
POSITION.
The Strikers Are Given Until We'd
nesday to Consider--Open
Shops Probable.

Local union carpenters contractors
will stand pat" This decision was
reached this morning at a final meet
ing of the contractors. If the carpen-
ters who are out because of the dis
agreement in the new wage scale do
not accept the ultimatum 1t will
mean open shops here. This is the f.
nal action taken by the contractors,
and it is up to the carpenters" now
The contractors met this morning
and conferred for more than an hour
There were nine present. including
the biggest contractors in the city.
The scale was argued and at the con-
clusion of the meeting a definite deci-
sion to accede to nothing was form
ed. and the result made known to
the strikers.
Our decision this morning means
that we will give the strikers until
Wednesday to decide what they will
do a contractor stated this morn
ing, 'and II they do not come across
and accept the conditions as present
ed il will mean that we will run open
shops and employ whom we desire. Ii
will mean that we will employ union
and nOn-union men and pay what we
want to. If a man is worth more than
S2.SO, the new scale demanded, we
will pay it. What we object to is the
ringers the unions bring in. Some
men who are members of the union
can not really earn $3.50 day yet
We are expected to pay them as
much as skilled labor"
The carpenters stand just as firm
as the contractors, but will hold n
meeting and consider the ultlmatum
before Wednesday. Some of the
smaller contractors have already
signed, but this will have little, If any
effect. on the bigger contractors

\ PRACTICAL JOKE


a practical joke caused an unnec-
ess1Ty run Of the Nos. and 4 fire
companies yesterday afternoon.
Some telephone llnemen were
working in the exchange of the Home
Telephone Company. They rlgged up
= small mound of black powder and
arranged wires to spark when con.
nec,cd IN the loose powder They did
this to frighten a companion who was
quietly working in another portion
of the building.
The spark worked and also did the
fire alarm when the startled linemar
saw the flames and the smokt. He
thought the house was afire. that
some wires had crossed. and he set
the entire system to going.

ulated portion of the residence district
with all the splendid institutions and
great mansions that had grown M
with the progress OF the city. Extent
OF burned area is seven square miles
Within this vast waste of shoulder
Ing embers were found three cases
Where human beings still have their
habitats as before the fire. One of
these was on the very summit of Tel
egraph Hill, where perhaps a score of
homes still stand
There are also six sets of flats
which remain intact The courageous
men and women who saved their
homes, in their great thankfulness for
the mercy shown them have only the
small complaint that in their distress
they have been quite abandoned by
the constituted authorities. and have
organized a patrol system of their own.

OF the red wines tored in their eel

The one remaining spot unburned
within the district is bounded by
Montgomery, Battery, jackson and
Washington. Within this district is
the appraisers building, in which is
stored S5,000,000 worth of valuable
wares belonging to the importing
