WAGES OF UNION CARPENTERS
Scale Paid I'm Omaha According TO
Committee of the Local Union
No. 27.

A committee of local union No. AZ OF
the Carpenters Brotherhood makes the fol-
lowing statement relative to wages paid
to members of that craft In Omaha:
The attention of the union carpenters
was Unexpectedly called to a purported
scale of wages published in the Daily News
OF January Is, and submitted by the Build
ers' exchange, in which it is made to ap-
pear that the scale OF wages OF union car
penters for the year 1903 was from 30 cents
to 43 cents per hour, which we desire to
correct, as 1t is utterly untrue and mis-
leading and we herewith report the wages,
hours, etc, that has prevailed in this dis
trict ever since our movement for a scale
OF 80 cents per hour a few years back.
Our minimum scale OF wages is, and has
been ever since the movement referred to-,
for all able-bodied journeymen carpenters
as follows: Forty-five cents per hour and
forty-four hours per week. Others working
for less per hour are certainly non-union,
cheap labor that is foisted upon the public
by contractors, while builders and owners
are charged for competent carpenters all
the way from 80 cents to 81 per hour. When
bills are submitted for settlement the true
facts are that large numbers of our mem
bers have in the last season drawn better
than 30 cents per hour, and expect to draw
the same or better this year, for the very
good reason that rents, taxes and all other
necessaries of life have been steadily on
the increase

In fact, his decision was the only one pos

tainty as to tariff changes is still widely
mentioned as a bar to fullest activity. this
being notable. especially in iron and steel,
where present demand is below expecta-
lions and in some lines of textiles. Re
ports from the railways are OF an increased
merchandise traffic northwest and south

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-R G. Dur & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Development in trade is along conserva-
tive lines. Larger pay rolls In manufactur-
ing centers naturally help retail distribu-
ton, but this is still much restricted, though
underlying conditions are firmly maintained
because of reduced stocks In retailers
hands. The prospect OF a change in the
customs revenue laws naturally curtails OPP
~erations in a number of important indus
tries, and many enterprises that would add
materially to the volume of business are
held in check until there is definite knowl-
edge regarding the provisions OF these laws.
Continued low water restricts operation OF
some New England paper and other mills.
In the south trade in wholesale lines is
considerably below normal and full resunp-
ton is not yet in sight. The movement OF
cotton continues large and prices are firmly
maintained. In the west factories in i'm
portant industries are operated short OF fun
capacity, but additional help is constantly
employed charging the output very grad
ually.
Quiet conditions still prevail in iron and
steel and no transactions of Importance are
reported, Fair orders are reported by some
of the smaller plants, but much OF this
business is said TO be through moderate
railroads continues unsatisfactory and
heavy lines remain firm. A heavy volume

RESENTS BEING DISTURBED
Man who Was sleeping in Gutter
Puts Up Fight when He is


Early last evening Police Surgeon Barbour
was on his way to the station and noticed
a drunken man lying in the gutter at the
corner OF Eleventh and Douglas streets.
He assisted the man TO his feet and
started with him to the police station,
where a warm place would be provided
in which the man could sleep off his jag.
The man. who later gave the name of Joe
Burns, Sixteenth and Davenport streets,
resented having his slumber disturbed,
however, and made a vicious swing at his
benefactor. The doctor blocked the lead
and landed with his right, knocking the
man through the open door OF a saloon on
the corner. Still not satisfied Burns again
rushed for his Good Samaritan and again
the medical man landed, this time catching
him on the point Of the jaw and putting
hin to the ropes, which in this case were
represented by a peanut vending machine,
which was knocked to the floor and broken.
BY this time the bartender and a spec
tator pounced on Burns and held him until
the station could be notified. Sergeant
Cook responded and when he got his
muscular hand on Burns collar the latter
decided he had fought enough and went
quietly to the station, where he was locked
up.
