CUT WAGES
FOR WORkMEN
THE MASTER CARPENTERS AN
NOUNCE SCALE REDUCTION
AFTER JANUARY /, BUT WORK
MLN THREATEN TO STRIKE.

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-An impor-
tant conference Of many thousand
skilled mechanics of the building
trades of this city has just been call
ed at which the master carpenters
organization gave notice to the
Brotherhood of Carpenters that
wages will be reduced from SIS to
$3.50 per day after January l.
Tightness in the money market,
which has caused the decrease of the
construction of building 80 per cent
is the reason given for this action.
The question has been referred TO
arbitration, which has been provid-
ed by both sides, but representatives
of the Carpenters union declare they
will strike rather than accept the
reduction.
Mechanics in other trades are
fearful that if the wage reduction
of the carpenters is successful their
example will be followed by other
trades.

made several attempts to kill her
husband; that she had tried to poi
oon him with laudanum; to choke
MIN while drunk and to get him to
oot something with powdered glass
in it.
"He told of dates when she had
tried to kill her husband, and of
drug stores in Hoquiam where she
had bought the laudanum.
"Steele said that on the night OF
the murder Mrs Todd had given
Todd beer with laudanum in it,
which made him sick and he vom-
tied it up. That she then piled him
with whisky with something in 1T.
irving to get him drunk, and even
mallv gave him ch1oroform.

roform and half an apron were
found in the house, and people who
moved in report that they saw Mrs

secreted himself where he could
overhear all that was going on. there
being a third and innocent party in
the camp where they were stopping
Steele said that if she had con-
fessed to her husband that time he
was prepared to have killed all three
inmates of the camp then and there
'It has now developed that a resi-
dent of Hoquiam made careful ex
animation of the premises after the
murder, and he affirms that he dis
covered five distinct traces of human
blood leading from the bedroom t.
the she'd Every effort had beer
made to obliterate the stains, bu
those discovered were principally ii
crevices between the boards of tn
floor and walk, which were takel
out and examined with a micro
scope, along with samples of tn
blood found under the body"
