CALL FOR HELP IS
PUBLISHED ABROAD
Difference of Opinion Regard
ing Supply and Demand
Still Exists.

The difference Of opinion existing be-
tween the contracting employers and
the employees, as represented in the la
Dor unions, has been again accentuated
by the appearance Of an advertisement
appearing in eastern and European
publications, inviting Iaborers to come
to Salt Lake.
The advertisement has appeared I'M
der the authority of the Salt Lake Real
Estate association, and as 1t appeared
in the current issue of Golfers, the
Saturday Evening Post and an English
magazine, read:
salt Lake City, Utah, Z. S. A., is
short of labor of every class. Carpen-
tiers receiving $3.50 to S. per day OF
eight hours. Bricklayers and stone
masons IS to 81. Plasterers and lath-
ers s. to So. Laborers $3.50 to 81. Do
mestics S. to $40 per week. Excellent
climate, and most rapidly growing city
on earth. Come. We want you. Cor
respond. Salt Lake Real Estate assO-
citation"
J. L. PeTkes, secretary Of the Salt
Lake Real Estate association, last night
said that the advertisement had beer
published in eastern and foreign papers
under the direction of the Real Estate
association for the purpose Of supplying
the demand Of the contractors and
builders for labor.
These advertisements, Mr.. Perkes
said, were contracted for about thirty
days ago This action was taken at a
meeting of the association, after a care
ful consideration of the plant of the
builders that they could not obtain SUI
ficient labor to carry out their con-
tracts.
Plumbers, steamhIters and bTlcklay-
ers We're at that time especially at q
premium, you might say, and the build
ing was held back by the fact that sUf-
fcient help could not be obtained. OF
course, since the cold weather set il
there has been a suspension of work
The advertisement for help and labor
has aroused considerable feeling in Ia
Dor circles, where it is contended that
there is a sufficient supply of labor in
Salt Lake at the present time to meet
all requirements. The union officials al
this time do not care to offer any state
ment but the matter of the Real Estate
associaion's advertisement will be the
principal subject of discussion at al
the meetings TO be held in the near
future.

ADJUSTMENTS
GRAND THEATRE CLOSES.

Once more the Grand theatre is dark.
/ Shortly before the time for the perform
ance to open last night, the members of
/ the Willard Mack stock company sent
word TO A. B. PeltOn, the lessee of the
1 house, that unless salary due for last
/ week was paid and guarantee given that
( this week would be paid, there would be
no performance. PeltOn said he could not
pay, and that ended the matter. Money
was refunded to those that had pur-
I chased tickets and the house was closed.
For several weeks r. A Grant, man
ager Of the Colonial and Bungalow thea
! tres, had been negotiating with Mr.. Mack
70 put the Mack company in the Bun
galOW. In view of the contract which
Mack had signed with Pelton when he
/ opened at the Grand. the sort of con-
tract that Mr.. Grant was prepared to
offer looked good TO Mack When Pei
ton refused last Thursday night to pay
I the salaries of the players, the contract
with PeltOn was broken, and Mack signed
with Manager Grant to appear at the
Bungalow.
Pelton denies that the fact that Mack
was leaving him had anything to do with
his refusal to pay the salaries of the
members OF the company.
The contract TO which Mack attached
his signature with Pelton after he had
left the COrU theatres here is rather in
teTesting. 1t provided that the first 500
taken in during the weeks performance
should go to PeltOn. IF there were any
more, Luen Mack was 70 nave something.
When Mack was out Of the cast, the
elaborate system of fines that Pelton had
ia force operated so that Mack generally
owed PeltOn money. The public is aware
of the fact that Mack lapsed from the
path of sObriety several times during his
sentence at the Grand theatre. and it
IS probably now prepared to admit that
he had at least some cause. 1t certainly
was am excellent contraction PeltOn.
