The construction of San Francisco, the
railway extensions and Improvement, I'M

in national and local irrigation and power
projects have worked together to create
a tremendous demand. The vineyard
managers of the San Joaquin valley
alarmed at the harvest outlook have ap-
pointed a committee to canvass all avail

A thorough canvass by local commit

postponements because of the scarcity OF
workmen. The building trades council adj
wise there is a great shortage OF men
in the building trades. saying 1000 or

Northern Presbyterian church, worse
split has occurred insofar as the Taiia-

gregations united themselves with the
northern church and three ministers and
ten congregations refused to take. the
step. but remained loyal to their former
name. Judge W. W. Whiteside of this city
was made moderator of the union FORCES
and the church building In which they
were met was eeded TO the union forces
NJ. NJ Russell was elected moderator
and reorganized the Cumberland forces In
the school building 100 yards away, and
two Presbyteries were in session under
almost the same name and faith, with
very divergent views ON some questions.
The Rev. Mr. Hudson of GalesNiiie was
ordained a minister of the Cumberland

allege dissatisfaction with the wage basis

tive or foreign, on a basis of efficiency,
and that no race discrimination is made.

the question of a general strike IS still
hanging fire. No word has been received
from the revolutionary leaders who again

resent the tielng up of the railroads upon
which they are dependent for grain to
keep them from starvation The ministry
of railroads received word today of sew
eral attempts to destroy railroad bridges,
and It is believed that the radicals are
resorting to this means to. force the issue.
The police are becoming more active in
breaking up the meetings in the capitals.

Petersburg aldermen which was held in
a private house. and all of those in at
tendance were arrested Tor five hours
