LITTLE CHANGE IN
THE LABOR SITUATION
CARPENTERS SAY THERE is NO
STRIKE
Contractors Declare They Are Expe-
rlencing Small Difficulty In En-
pIoylng Workmen and Carrying
Out All Their Undertakings

The labor situation In Los Angeles
yesterday showed little change. There
are probably 150 carpenters who are
still unemployed. There is no genera
recognized strike. The union leaders
say a number Of men have left town
some going to San Francisco and Other
northern cities where better wages are
readily obtained.
Contractors say they are experience
ing little difficulty in carrying on their
work At the carpenters union head
quarters it is claimed that scores OF
employers have granted the requests
of carpenters for the regular scale and
Saturday half-holiday without pay
They say many employers long ago
agreed to those conditions.
Contractor Carl Loenardt stated yes
terday that a number of his carpen-
ters who had left him to look for other
jobs had asked to be taken back and
that he had granted their requests.
The same was true of other contrac-
tors Aside from this gradual return
of the workingmen to their old places
there was little of interest in the situa-
ton yesterday.
Contractor Paul Haupt feels hurt at
the demand for a closed shop.
II have always employed union Ia
borers, paid them the union scale, but
have felt at liberty to employ any man
l chose whether he belonged to the
union or not" said Mr.. Haupt. Il do
my work within a certain time limit
and 1 am the one to decide how many
days a week it is necessary for my
men to work.
Those few contractors who have not
paid the scale demanded by the union
are agitating for a graded scale of from
$3.50 to $4 a day. The carpenters take
but little interest in it, however, as they
claim it will be necessary to knock out
the trade rules before it can be done.

needed is not horizontal reduction,
but equalization,
THE Pennsylvania charges about the
same rate per ton per mile as the Great
Western, although the density of its
traffic Is much greater. Probably our
rates are too low, while the Pennsyl-

the country become less prosperous
there is no certainty that we should
continue to do so.
Rates generally I'm the northwest are

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The sug-
gostion has been made to the Navy de-
partment that If arrangements could
be made with railroad companies to
carry the sailors of the navy at half
fare or reduced rates 1t would be of
great benefit to the service and would
cause the enlistment of more men from

pelled to pay full fare out of their own
pockets when they wish to see their
home folks.

A Sick Mans Mother Goose.

Written In bed while Dan feverish irritable and
not in love with the discipline of his physiciansl
HI diddle, diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
The COW jumped over the moon.
The sick man swallows his squills by the quart,
But gets his milk in a spoon.
Lie awake, lie awake, bursting with thought;
Lie awake, lie awake, thinking of naught.
In the when the sun from his ocean bed rolls, :.
You'll feel like toy balloon shot full of holes,
Poor sick Mother Hubbard she went to the cupboard
To get slice of bread;
When she saw in despair the doctor was there,
She wished to the Lord she was dead
Like most of the tribe he began to prescribe
In words both weighty and wise;
"No bread-no meat-no nothing to eat
Just physic and exercise"
Cookie u and carpet tacks scattered in your bed
When you re turning everybody rscked with pains
It's cookie burs and carpet tacks tearing through
your veins.
Jack Spratt could eat no fat
They wouldn't give himslean-
Instead, they made him take bath,
To keep his kidneys clean.

The doctor is at the gate.

And Dock put mustard on it.
There was man in our town
All crippled up with coughs;
He took a lot OF medicine,
And burnt out all his troughs.
And when he found his troughs out
With all his might and main,
He took another peck of pills,
And burnt them in again.

 Il was stated by Senator Patterson of the committee, that a minority re- port recommending that the bill do not pass will be presented though it has not yet been prepared. The bill as recommended by the majority does not differ essentially from the form in which it was received from the house.
 Very little interest has so far been shown in the bin by the senate. Sen ator Foraker has declared that there is no possibility of the passage of the bill as it has come from the commit
