Hard Task for Her Memory.

She is just a tiny bit of waii
with glorious blue eyes and a wealth
OF rich golden curls AS she stood
on tiptoe on her seat at the Ringing
circus last night for a glimpse at
the entering hosts she was silhouett.
ed against the mass OF humanity like
a Madonna child.
When the clowns came in she
clapped her hands and screamed
with delight. The ponies and ele.
plants threw her into the seventh
heaven of childish happiness. The
blue eyes sparkled brighter with
each succeeding number of the pro.
gram.
With laughing and looking she had
no time to talk. Finally she found
spare minute. Deep-rooted af-
lection for the mother at home was
manifest when she turned suddenly
and cried with an expression that
bespoke real baby character:
Daddy. l wonder how ] am go.
Ing to remember all this so | can
tell mamma about it,"
A hundred persons near her forgot
the circus for a moment-Philadel

The Nanticoke is at Franklin. Va. on

The department of justice discovered
yesterday that the two vessels were

traband material destined. it was sup

LOCKOUT STOPS
BUILDING WORK
IN GARDEN CITY
Contractors Decide to RedSce
Scale of Wages and Deliver
UItimatum to Men
Carpenters, Plasterers, Cement
Workers, Brick Masons, PIum-
bers and Teamsters Out
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

SAN JOSE, June 14.-Building opera
tions are practically suspended here to-
day. carpenters, plasterers, cement
workers. brick masons, plumbers and
teamsters having been locked out The
Builders exchange, an association of
the contractors of the city and county,
has locked horns with the building
trades council and 1t looks as if the
fight would be long.
More than month ago the Builders
exchange decided that the demand for
building work and the demand for la
Dor in this city at present do not JUS
tify the payment of such high wages
as have been current here since April.
1905. They adopted a resolution to re-
duee wages to the scale that prevailed
before that date and the resolutions
went into effect this morning.
Fight Is Planned
The building trades council immedi-
ately took issue with the contractors on
the question of the schedule and soon
after issued statement declaring 1t
was their intention TO fight the reduc
ton.
The exchange is determined to en-
force the ruling. The statements given
out today by the exchange and those
expressed at the Office of the building
trades council differ widely. oficers
of the exchange say that every con-
tractor in the association is standing
firm and that all of the men working
today are doing SO under the new
schedule.
W G. Matthewson, secretary of the
building trades council, says that the
few men working today are under the
same schedule that has prevailed for
the last three years. The men them
selves either have been INSTRUCTED not
to talk or refuse 70 do so on their own
account The exchange declares that
all of its members informed their men
Saturday afternoon that unless they

schedule they need rot come to work

After 1t was found that the lockout
was general and effective this morning
the employees of the San Jose transfer
company the James trucking company
and the Volkers truck company walked
out. These were not to be reduced. but
struck in sympathy with the building
trades men and the material drivers
who were to come under the new scbed-
ule. The San Jose transfer company,s
men refused to haul cement for the F.
o. Engstrum company and both the
truck and baggage men quit The CITY
