BUILDING STRIKE UNCHANGED
Employers Say Ali Work Will Be in

messenger Boys Attempt TO Rout
NOnuniOn Mechanics, hut
Police Interfere.

Work on all buildings tied up by the
recent strikes Of the union workmen will
be In full blast tomorrow" This was the
statement Of Secretary Hall. OF the En-
ployers' Association Of the Building
Trades. last night.
Claims by the representatives Of the
employers association that they VIII have
all their work under way with a fun force
in a few days are both false and tommy
rot. Notwithstanding these foolish claims,
the employers are making frantic efforts
to get mechanics" This was the state
ment given out at the Building Trades
last night.
Other than the rival claims Of both par
ties 10 the present strike, there was little
doing yesterday. There was no change in
the situation emanating from either side,
it being stated by the Building Trades
men that no buildings were pulled, and
by the employers that up to late hour
there had been no additional importation
Of nOnuniOn men.
Members OF the building trades tell Of
an incident OF the importation Of the for
ty-1ve nOnunion men by the Employers
Association, Tuesday night. A number
Of pickets. including seven Of the bust
ness agents Of the local unions, were
watching AT the depot and met the men
when they came in in charge of the En-
plOyers' Association agents They said
nothing, but followed them 10 the hotel
at Third street and Indiana avenue north
west, where they were quarteTed. Shortly
after leaving this locality the union men
ran into a great crowd of messenger boys
Of the two local telegraph companies who
are on strike and were riding around
town making n great demonstration. Call
Ing to the boys they told them that about
fifty scabs had just come IN on a train
and that they were their people, and that
they were at the hotel, and to go after
them.
The boys went off with a whoop and
rode over one another having several
collisions in the mad race to see who
would get there first. Once on the scene,
they surrounded the hotel, and with the
avowed intention of driving them out,
used every means possible. shrieking in
a chorus the hated word "scab." 1t is
said the men. thinking il was as many
union men, began fortifying themselves
in the upper rooms.
Not succeeding in their endeavors, the
boys. after taking another ride around
town cheering for the union and organ
lied labor, made a second attempt, and
announced that If they could do nothing
else they would keep them up all night.
A detail OF police from the Sixth pre-
cinct. however, dampened their ardor in
that particular locality

In describing Mrs. Leslie-Carter as the greatest actress of our time, critics do so with a reason behind it. For the making of a great actress there are various requisites; but mainly, tenn perament, personality, and talent. Of these temperament would probably be given first place,-for without 1t con- viction is ever absent. That Is the most essential thing of all. The ability to live 6 role and reach over the foot lights and have the auditor feel 1t with you.
