WAGE AGREEMENT SIGNED
Painters and Contractors Reach Final
Agreement.

The disagreement existing between
the master painters of the city and
the local union OF painters as to the
number Of hours that shall constitute
a days work and the pay per hour
has been settled, and all the shops,
except that of A. L. Beaumont, have
agreed to the hours and scale asked
for by the union.
The demands of the union were
that eight hours should constitute a
days work, and SO cents an hour be
paid therefor. Prior to deciding upon
this scale the painters had been work
ing nine hours a day and receiving
45 cents an hour. At the meeting
held last evening the master painters
submitted to the union that they
would agree to the scale on certain
conditions. These conditions were,
first, that the union would agree that
no painter who was employed should
enter the contracting field and take
WOTk III competition NlNh Nh0 AAnStNi
painters. 1t was stipulated that this
would not operate in violation of
that provision of the constitution of
the union which provides that mem
Der may take contract work In the
event of a strike or lockout. Sec
ond, that the members of the union
would not work at the painting or
paperhanging business for any one
for less than 65 cents an hour, except
the master painters, from whom he
is to receive so cents an hour. Third,
that all shops should be declared on
the unfair list which did not employ
at least one union man. These con-
ditions were reduced to writing this
morning and we're signed by the mas
ter painters, with the exception OF
Beaumont. The master painters
signing were w. f. Stoddard, Benton

NEW YORK, April S.-The Great
Northern Railroad company was con-
victed of granting rebates to the
American Sugar Refining company by
a Jury in the United States circuit
court.
The shipments of sugar on which
the rebates were paid we're made to
Sioux City, Iowa, in 1902. The re-
bates were paid in 1904.
The trial was begun before Judge
Holt yesterday and was completed
during the day, including arguments
of counsel.
The evidence was confined to the
proof of few necessary facts and
then rested entirely upon the ques-
tions of law involved.
Judge Holt charged the jury, and
his Interpretation of the law strong
ly favored the governments conten-
ton. Had the case been a civil one
the court said it would have just in
structed the jury to return a verdict
in favor of the complainant, but be-
ing a criminal action. the law does
not permit such instructions.
Judge Holt imposed fine OF $4,000
on the Great Northern Railroad COM
pany for rebating. He dismissed an
action charging rebating against the
Northern Steamship company.

HILL ROAD FINED $4,000

Before Judge Holt imposed the
fine United States District Attorney
Stimson called the courts attention
to the fact that there had been no at
tempted concealment OF the alleged
crime upon the part of the defendant.
There is no element OF conceal
ment in this state, said Mr.. Slim
son, land the court will recall that in
the case of the New York Central.
convicted for the same offense, there
was an elaborate system of book
keeping which concealed the payment
of rebates, and the giving of the re-
bate money was kept on the regular
books of the company. There Is
nothing Of that kind, am glad to
say, in this case"
Mr.. Stimson asked that the court
dismiss the rebating indictments
against the Northern Steamship com
pany.
II will state In explanation. he
said, that at the time the indict-
ments were returned the government
understood that the agreement for
the rebates was made by the North
ern Steamship company, but later de-
velopments have shown us that the
payment was made by the Great
Northern Railroad company, and for
which 1t has Just been convicted.
The motion was granted.

because Of his desire to support the
