returned from woody and snow

met the 1880 o'clock Northern

Quillan, who didn't know the ex-

this, or something worse, from his

naturally rode to the station. Mr..
Warren left Spokane six years ago,

meantime he will be a "rover" and

PLUMBERS LOSE SUPPORT
Of ALLIED CRAFT

Union plasterers will return to
work on the Turner building, and
it is probable that the building la.
borers will also go back in a day
or two. At a regular meeting OF
the Plasterers' union, held last
night, it was decided to permit
members of that union to return to
work on the Turner building pro-
viding the Smyth Plumbing Co.
did not work any imported non
union men on the job. This will
be agreed to by all concerned, it
is stated, and work will be resumed
at an early date. The fact was
brought to the attention Of the
plasterers that steam filters would
soon be necessary, and they were
asked what would be done In case
the Plumbers union would not
furnish these men. The plasterers
said that they had not considered
that phase of the trouble, but sug
gested that the Smyth company
apply to the Structural Trades al.
lance for men, when the matter
could be considered and some plan
of action decided upon. The build
ing laborers will meet tonight and
it is probable that they will also
agree to return to work.
Very few union men outside the
Plumbers union uphold the action
of that organization in the present
strike. 1t was pointed out by a
union painter today that his union
would have Just as much right to
tell a man what kind of paint he
was to use on his house as to tell

him what kind of plumbing he was
to install. He said the average
union man can understand and
sympathize with any union making
fight for hours and wages and
better conditions, but he failed to
warm up over the purely technical
controversy now on between the
plumbers and Judge Turner.
Another feature of the present
trouble that is distasteful to the
rank and file of the various unions
is that their right to referendum
vote was refused them and their
membership ordered on an illegal
strike.
The unions are more and moro
demanding a referendum vote on
all matters in which they are In.
terested, and the arbitrary action
of the Structural Trades alliance In

ton has caused much unfayorabla
comment.
1t is realized by the conservative
element Of the local unions that
the present controversy has done
much to crystalize public sentis
ment against unionism, and tha
great majority Of union men are
openly disavowing the acts of the
plumbers and the alliance. y
Belief prevails that the action Of
the plasterers in returning to work
will go long way toward settling
the strike, and it is hoped that the
entire controversy will In the near
future be only memory Of some.

MAKES HARRIS
HOPPING MAD

II Manager Harris, Of the In
land Empire Employment Co., gets
his eye on Frank Wilson a cloud
of painful vicissitudes is likely to
settle uddenly upon that anne Will
son. Yesterday the latter COM
planned to the police that he had
been sent by the employment man
to McGoldrick's camp with the
promise of Transfers job. He
said there was no such Job and he
wa out a dollar. His trust In hui
man honesty was all shot to pieces
in consequence.
Come now Harris with wrath In
his eye and he declares that shame
lessly did Wilson lie. By the or
der given and other employment
office evidence he proves that Will
son was sent forth in good faith
and failed to find a place on the
payroll because of his own aristo'
cratic notions. The company want
ed a skid teamster and Wilson
would have none of that. No CLASH
fication of the work had been given
and the employment mans con
science is easy on that score. But
although he toiled not, neither did
he spin, Wilson got his dollar
back, according to Harris. And
finally the aggrieved party deposes
and says no grounds for kick ex
ist unles the kick come from him
and terminates upon the person OF
Wilon.

four floors.
With a terrific crash the walls
crumbled and the men were pre-.
cipitated beneath huge piles OF
concrete and timbers. Within a
few moments hundreds Of people
began the work of rescue.
The material used in building
was reinforced concrete, and when
the crash came this disintegrated
