Building Operations May
Depend On What Com
mittee Decides.
Arbitration Board No t.
Needed, Journeymen
Think.
Report That Men Have
Voted to Stand
Pat.

TOnight's meeting OF the committee OF
seventeen from the Building Trades
Mechanics Council 10 consider the an
swer of the Journeymen plumbers 10
the suggestion Of the Master Builders
Association that sections five and six
Of the award Of the illustrators be re
ferred back TO the arbitrator for in
depreciation, may determine whether
building operations now planned VIII
so forward or stop.
The Journeymen plumbers are firm in
the position taken that the question
raised by the master plumbers is not
one that calls for any action by the
arbitration board. Local no. .. jour
neymen Plumbers Union. points 70 the
shop rules adopted under the contract
of 1908. which the arbitratOrs declared
by their award TO be still in force. and
say that the records show that the
master plumbers never claimed that the
union did not control its members in
the matter OF working for master
plumber who employed nonunion Plumb
eTs.
Vote to Stand Pat?
It was said today that the Journey
men plumbers have voted almost unan-
imously not to submit the question back
20 the arbitrators but TO stand pat
There is difference Of opinion among
the building trades as TO just what
ought to be done. The conservative
members are opposed to anything that
looks Ike forcing the issue by strike
talk, while some Of the more radical
want 20 issue an ultimatum which. II
carried CGt. would at once tie up several
buildings where nonunion plumbers are
at work.
May UnTavel Tangle.
Indications are that tonight-s meeting
will smooth out some OF the kinks in
the tangle and make more clear the
issue between the master plumbers and
the journeymen. The master builders
do not want to go through another siege
like that Of last year, and Tor this rea-
son they viii do all in their power to
affect a settlement Of the question in
dispute between the master plumbers
and the jOurneymen. The master build
ers put the pressure on the master
plumbers last year and the building
trades did the same on the journeYmen.
The statement was made TODAY that
II things continue as they are until the
busy season, the building trades viii
take the same view as the jOurneymen
that Is that the award of the arbitrators
IS no longer binding and when the song
of building Is sweetest there will be
an interruption from several trades by
demand for an Increase in wages

TO WRITE FOR
 BRITANNICA
Dr. Caldwell Asked to Revise the Ar ticle About Pine Bluff for a
 New Encyclopedia.

Doctor J. l.. Caldwell, secretary of the Pine Bluff Board of Trade, received letter this morning from the London Times, the publishers of the Encyclopedia Brittanica, re- questing that he correct and revise enclosed article on the city of Pine Bluff, for the purpose of publish ing it in the next issue of that en- cyclopedia, which, it is thought, will not be long eff. The article which they sent was one contributed by a local citizen for some previous is sue of the Brittanica, and is a good description of this city thirty years ago, says Doctor Caldwell.
 The article says that this city has a population of about 1000, half of whom are of negro descent. and is so erroneous now thaat Doctor Caldwell finds it necessary to write an entirely new article. He wil1 attempt to write an article that will do the city justice, and correct the mistaken idea about our purely pious city,

CUPID AND FINANCE.

It is not matter of record taat iany girls matrimonial protective association has ever succeeded in holding itself together longer than the first opportunity of some traitor ous member to break out. The chief charm about these "bachelor' girls affairs is their awful seriousness and absolute certainty that the first eligible chap who comes along Will wreck all the rules and regulations, charter, constitution and bylaws - the organization and walk off with the president. This is as it should be. Without discussing any wom- ans right to belong to any other club on earth, membership in an or ganization having for it's purpose the restraint of matrimony is con trary to the spirit of American citi- Zenshp.
 Indiana produces many things be- sides novelists, baseball pitchers and turnips, and girls of spirit and pulchritude are among them. Realiz- that marriage is something more than porch chairs and poetry, crowd of Hoosier girls formed a so- ciety to establish a financial stand ard to which every male suitor must conform before he could hope to win member to welded bliss. The schedule adopted by the "S-ang Ladies Protective Society," follows: Each prospective husband must have
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1907-07-29

a salary of $2,000 a year; life 1n- surance. $2OOO; license fee $2 and sone definite idea of the financial deeds of a household and it's reign ing queen Any man without the ln- dorsement of the society needn't come around to the home of mem Der because he won't be received.
 After the Indiana girls had adopt ed this sinister set of regulations sat down and waited. They waited a long time. Not single fellow with S2.OOO showed up. Several small CT fry with only moderate incomes lowered about, but the big fish took their money and went up to Mlchl- gan resorts and enjoyed themselves. They didn't even explain that the ordinary joys of bachelorhood are considerably enhanced by salary Of S2,OOO and that matrimony is not an insistent necessity to the man who can afford quarters at the club. Then the men who had and had not s2,OOO year got together and started the Young Mems Precau- tion Club" and they proceeded to few demands themselves. They wanted to be sure of getting some thing for their money that is not down on the ordinary moonlight schedule. A $2,0O0 man wants a wife who can cook if she has to, take care of the house darn, sew, tolerate smoking about the house, spend some of her time at home, be reasonably cheerful and not have the theater habit. The young men held close to these rights and they wnn. "The Young Ladies Protective So- ciety and the Young Mems Precau- ton Club" were merged one en- braced the other. and all is again lovely along the Wabash, according to the Kansas City Journal which ought to know.

Making Home Pleasant.

Many a child goes astray, not
because there is lack of prayer
or virtue at home, bnt simply be-
cause home lacks sunshine. a
child needs smiles as much as
flowers need sunbeams. Children
look little beyond the present mo-
ment. If a thing pleases, they are
apt to seek it; if it displeases, they
are prone to avoid it. Ii home is
the where faces are sour and words
harsh, and fault-fnding is ever in
the ascendency, they will spend AS
many hours as possible elsewhere.
Let every father and mother, then.
try to be happy. Let them look
happy let them talk to their chill
dren, especially the little one, in
such way as to make them hap
py.
