CARPENTERS
ON STRIKE
Local Men Are Out Pending
Granting Of an Increase Of
Wage Scale
(From Tuesdays Daily)

Yesterday morning members Of
the local carpenters union, to the
number OF some eighty or ninety,
reported for work, formally request
ed an advance OF so cents per day
in the wage scale, were refused, and
walked out.
This strike Is the elimination OF
agitation that has been made for
sometime in the local union for a
higher wage, The present scale is
$500 per day but local employers
have been paying $3.50 to skilled
men.
A member OF the local union said
late last evening; I'VE have no
grievance other than that the present
wage Is inadequate because OF the
prevailing high prices that exist for
food, rents, etc. We ask the pres
ent eight hour day and an increase
Of wages from SO to $3.50 a day.
About eighty or ninety men are out
today and about twenty or twenty
five employing contractors are in
yolved. There is considerable build
ing In sight and the season promises
to demand the work OF many car
penters. At present there is an ex-
cellent prospect of settlement on the
terms we ask" ~
w. NJ. Rice, who has a number Of
large contracts in the city, among
them being the new opera house
and the Baptist church, stated to a
Daily Panhandle representative that
he was In no way affected by the
carpenters strike.
Il have only non-union carpen-
ters working for me-" he said. "I
was approached by the local union
about three months ago in regard
to the advance in wages that is now
asked by them and asked them for
time to consider the matter. In my
reply TO them | stated that found
II impossible to accede to their de-
mands. The present year is still
feeling the effects OF last years pam
ic and, being presidential election
year building Is still further retard-
ed. cited these facts to the men
and said I could not conservatively
consider any increase of wages at
that time but offered to make a
contract for the year to pay them at
the scale that then prevailed during
the entire year. have been paying
$3.50 a day which is 80 cents more
than the scale, as 1t is customary
to pay premium above the scale for
good men, For this reason I regard
the new scale asked as meaning
practically 81 day.
Building that I have under way
will not be affected by this strike
and the work will so along in all
branches unimpeded. I see no rea-
son why the present strike should
be successful as the number OF union
men is only about half OF the total
number OF carpenters in the city and
hardly n day passes that I am not
met with request for work by car
penters. | have a full force work
ing now and took on four new men
yesterday. There will be no trouble
about securing sufficient labor under
the building conditions that now
exist.
MY relations with the unions Of
this city have always been OF the
most amicable nature; 1t simply was
impossible for me to consistently
grant the increase asked and I ac-
cepted the services OF non-union men
who are giving me satisfaction in
every way"

The farmers are now busily en-
gagged putting cotton seed in the
ground. The continued rain has de.
layed this work and now Is a rush
to get through before another rain.
The Greenvile Banner says: For
several years 1t has been spread
broadcast that early planting was
necessary to get ahead Of the boil
weevil but 1t is now being advo-
Gated that late spring planting is
better than early planting from the
fact that the weevils starve to death
before the cotton develops. How
ever there has been enough cotton
planted early to keep the weevhl
alive until the late planting comes
on. Consequently the farmers will
get little advantage from the late
planting this year.--McKinney Cou-

FIRST VOTERS LEAGUE.
An Enrolment of Young Men Who
viii Cast Their First Vote for
President and Governor.

State Chairman Walter S. Dickey is
enrolling the names of first voters in
the First Voters League of Missouri"
The following announcement, already
mailed to thousands Of young men in
the State, fully explains the object of
the League:
"You are about to cast your first
vote. Your first participation in
County, State, and National govern
ment will have a strong influence upon
your life, affecting your associations
and your business. With your first
vote you will ally yourself with a po-
litical party, and the choice of parties
lies before you for calm considera-
ton.
you have the opportunity to enroll
yourself with the Republicans, who
have made this nation what II is to-
day; who have kept the faith be-
queathed to them by their fathers, es.
tablished a firm standard Of sound
craftsmanship, and administered the
government by men of proved expert
ence and integrity. If you make this
with men Of achievement and leaders
of the nation.
If. however, some whim or false
argument impels you to cast your
vote with the opponents of those who
have accomplished so much, reflect
we'll before following that impulse.
The so-called Democratic party OF to-
day has veered like a weathercock un-
der the influence of a visionary leader
who champions policies untried and
unapproved by a majority Of the
voters in this country.
This year you have a voice, not
only In the election OF the Governor
of Missouri, but I'm the election of the
President of the United States. The
Republicans offer for President OF the
Republic and for Governor Of Missouri
two fearless, upright men, trained to
the duty Of executing the laws, whose
careers Of accomplishment assure the
people Of their fitness for these i'm
portant positions. and whose person
alities have won the esteem and APP
proval OF the entire American people.
The Democrats put forward as
their Presidential candidate a poll
tician who has changed his belief re-
p~eatedly, who is unstable, untrded and
distrusted eve by members OF his
own party. And you are undoubtedly
.%conyersant with the method by which
the Democratic candidate for Governor
Of Missouri secured his nomination, a
nomination which created widespread
alarm and distrust throughout the

FULKERSON GIVES RECORD OF NJ
by "old Guard" Influences Mixed UP With the All
How He Voted When Estate Senator.

In his speeches throughout the State
nominee for Attorney General, has
been giving special attention to the
public record of his opponent, Elliott
w. Major, who was nominated four
years ago by the Democrats for the
same Office and was defeated, with the
nees.
1t is well for the voters of the state
to remember that the same reasons
exist today for the defeat of Major
that were used four years ago. He is
no better now than he was then, but
on the contrary, is more closely al
lied with the politics of the "Old
Guard" crowd, and they specially want
him in the Office of Attorney General,
where they will need a friend. Mr..
Fulkerson's speeches have been very
frank and plain in dealing with the
he said, among other things equally
to the point:
The paramount issue is, "Shall the
Old Gang Be Restored to Power in
Missouri" My opponent, Elliot w.
Major, a member of the "Old Gang"
four years ago, when he ran for At
torney General against Hadley, and
twelve years ago, when he was elect
ed and served them as a State Sena-
tor, is still loyal to them, and they
are trying to secure his election.
Examine his official record as a
State Senator. Did he represent the
people, or the gang? If elected Attor-
ney General will he represent the peo-
pie or the gang? These are pertinent
questions, and the voters of Missouri
should know Majors official record,
for by 1t they should judge him,
III 1897. his first year as State Sen
ator, he made his connection with the
"Old Gang" promptly, and, as shown
by his Senatorial record, he did their
