Milwaukee.-What is declared by
the foundrymen of this city to be the
end of the holders strike, which
originated last May, came when
Judge Sanborn in the United States
court declared that a permanent in
junction should issue against the
striking molders of the Allis-C Chalmers
company. This injunction restraints
them from disturbing the corporation,
forbids picketing absolutely. forbids
visits Of strikers to houses of non
union men for purposes of persuasion
and stops all interference with the
rights of the Allis-Chalmers company.
Picketing of any nature Is held by
the court to be in the nature of a con-
spiracy to injure the plaintiffs bust
ness.

attorney, James Byron Drew. with a
capital of $4,000. The officers are:
James L. Quigg, president; Simon
Burns, formerly Of the Window Glass

Slater treasurer, and James Galbraith,
secretary Other labor leaders whose
names appeared in the application for
the charter are: John Ferneau, Frank

Drew stated that the building, If erect

will be set apart for lodge rooms and

What argument they would advance
to secure such a site is not stated.
Paterson, n. because they have
been denied the privilege of bringing
beer into the shops during working
hours, and also because the company
refused to discharge an unpopular
foreman, $50 men employed in the
blacksmith shop of the Rogers Loco
motive works walked out. One Of the
first acts of the new foreman, George
Browne, was to post notice that no
beer be brought into the works and
that the men were not to leave the
. shops during the work hours to visit
I saloons.

MED recent published reports that a
strike of shovel men and dredgemen
working on the Panama canal had
been called officially. Some shovel
men have quit because they were dis

no strike will be called at present.

San Francisco.-A fearful labor war
nearly was precipitated when the
declartion of the open shop, a
lockout and a fight to the death
with unions was considered by
builders and contractors at a con-
ference. Conservatism finally won
out and 1t was agreed to appoint
committee to treat with the unions
with a view of insuring peace for at
least a year, that the work Of recon
structing the destroyed portions of
the city could proceed. Several speak
ers had urged immediate war and
cessation of operations until the open
shop was established.
Joliet, Ill-Employes Of the Elgin,
Joliet & Eastern and the Chicago,
Lake Shore & Eastern railroads,
which are owned by the United
States Steel Corporation, were sur
prised TO receive notice that their
wages. dating from May 1, had been
raised. The skilled employees get an
increase of 80 cents a day, and the
common Iaborers Is cents a day This
applies to employees in the yards and
shops, as we'll as on the roads. About
1000 men are affected. The action of
the companies means an addition of
$4,000 a year to the pay roll.
Omaha Neb.-E. F. Ptacek, a clerk
in the Railway Mail Service, has
worked steadily during the last 18
months, with an average of but two
hours sleep a day. His home is at
Kearney, and his run is on a mixed
train between that town and Gallo
way, distance of CT miles. Owing to
heavy traffic this train is usually late.
The postal clerk leaves Kearney at
! three o'clock in the morning, and 1t
is rare that he gets back till late in
the night. 1t frequently happens that
he is in his home but a single hour
when he is called out again to take
! his run. Once in a while he gets from
three to four hours rest in his bed
| 1t is a matter of record that for the
last year and a half he has not had
an average Of more than two hours
| sleep a day. AS a result of the strain
to which this loss of sleep has sub
jected him, he has grown very thin
and exceedingly nervous, and physi
clans tell him that unless he takes a
| thorough rest he will within a few
weeks be a complete mental and phys
| ical wreck. Not only has Ptacek got
along for a year and half on two
hours sleep a day, but he has gone
without his breakfast anu supper, and
frequently has eaten only a sandwich
| and a piece of pie and drank a cur
of coffee at dinner time The train
ran so he could not get breakfast, and
he got home so late he cared not fol-
supper.
Pittsburg.-Pfttsbur is to have a I'm

Drainage Board Meeting

Members of the board of
supervisors of Harrison county
were at Council Bluffs yester-
day afternoon in attendance at
the meeting of the Harrison-
Pottawattamie drainage board.
The business was concluded in
short time and an adjourn
ment taken until April "a,
when the session will be held
at Logan. AS the supervisors
from this county are going to
take day to view the ditch it
was thought advisable for them
to go on to Logan and hold the
next session there. The mem
bers of the board will spend
April % in going over the
drainage district.
Seth De- 4, ngineer on
the ditch, made a verbal report
of the progress of the work.
He stated the boats on Allen
and Willow creek bitches have
been running for two weeks
with satisfactory results. The
boat on the Boyer cutoff has
broken down and will be out of
commission for about ten days.
The contracts with the dredg-
ing companies were ordered ex-
tended for thirty days.
