PECULIAR CAUSE OF STRIKE.
Differences Between Unions Ties Up
Building Operations.


st. Louis, June 13.-More than 5000
union men affiliated with the Building
Trades Council are out as result of
the strike begun Monday and building
operations are now limited to struc-
lures where the stone and brick work
has been completed and to frame
houses where it is not necessary to
employ stonemasons or bricklayers.
The strike was caused by strained
relations between two unions, one be-
ing composed of bricklayers and the
other of stonemasons and bricklayers.
The feeling became so intense that
members of one union finally refused
to work with any members of the
other union. Then a general strike
resulted. The question of wages does
not enter into the complication and
the employers are forced to wait for
the unions to adjust their difficulties
and resume work.

that he will soon have the flames un.

On the third ballot the Henne-
pin delegation which had been
solid for Block gave their
strength to Cole, thereby chang.
ing the result.
The convention was at once in
an uproar and everyone except
those in the Jacobson column
helped the winner win.
The convention then was
convention of excitement as dele
cation after delegation rose in
their seats to make the nomina.
tion as unanimous as possible,
thereby pledging their support
and creating a sentiment for the
winning candidate. This act of
the delegates alone is worth con-
siderable to Cole and makes
good many votes for him
throughout the counties.
The jacobson force attempted
to rally the convention to their
favorite son, but at last gave up,
seeing it was hopeless to try to
secure the nomination for their
favorite candidate.
The final showing gave Cole,

in the bush. The latter climbed trees,
whence they hailed assagais on the
