NO RADICAL CHANGE
IN WORKING RULES
Carpenters May Ask, However,
for Increase of Present
Wage Scale.

There viii be no radical changes I'm the
working rules of the carpenters unions
for the year 1910, nor will any increase in
the wage scale be demanded if the general
assembly of the union carpenters. which
is set for January 8, adopts the report
prepared by the carpenters executive
council.
At the executive councils meeting last
night the report covering suggestions for
revision of the present rules was pre-
pared and is now ready to be submitted
to the general meeting of the members
of the three unions, locals Nos 1S4 and
125 and amalgamated carpenters No. 725.
Comparatively few changes are sug-
gested TO be made in the present rules,
the principal ones relating to the employ
ment Of nOn-uniOn labor and the matter
of payment. The rule covering nom
union labor on work in which union la
Dor is employed reads: mo union car
penter will be permitted to work for amy
employer, longer than three days, who
employs a non-unlon carpenter The sus-
gested revision eliminates the tnree-day
period, making the effect of the rule that
the union man shall cease work immedi-
ately upon the engagement of nom
union man. In the matter of payment of
wages, the revision makes il mandatory
upon the employer to pay weekly wages
ION the works" At present the employer
may pay where he sees fit, either at the
works or a downtown office.
The matter Of wage scale is not touched
upon in the councils recommendations
but is left an open question for the car
penters to decide for themselves. The ad-
visibility of asking for an increased wage
is likely to induce discussion at the gem
eral meeting and the opinion among the
union men is to a considerable extent
divided.
The carpenters at their meeting Janu-
airy 3 viii adopt the rules for 1910, which
then will be submitted to the master
builders Should there be a demand made
for an increase in the wage scale, three
months notice to the employers would
be required before it became effective.

IMPORTANT ACTION
TAKEN BY COUNCIL
Approve Contract With Gov
eminent for PatrOIling Par
Iey'S and City Canyons.

By unanimous vote, last night the
city council approved the contract be
tween Salt Lake and the United States
government for the paTolling of Par
ley's and City Creek canyons and the
forestration of these tracts. When
Mayor John S. Bransford attaches his
signature to the contract it will become
effective, and will be sent at once to
Washington for the signature Of Clifford
PinchOt, chief forester.
The contract has been pending be-
fore the council for about two years,
and is considered one of the most inn
portant actions in years for the preser-
walton of the water supply of Salt Lake
and the Improvement of the two can
yOns through the foTestration methods
of the government officials. The con-
tract runs for ten years, or until re-
pealed by an act of Congress.
Thousands of trees are to be planted
on the citys land by the government
and with each acre planted on city land
the government will plant an acre of
trees on government land adjoining, the
city to pay a nominal price for the
trees. For all labor in planting and for
other purposes, the city will pay half OF
the expense. Also, in case of forest
fires. the city viii pay half of the ex-
pense for fighting the fires in case labor
is employed in the work.
One new forest ranger will be en-
plOyed by the government and act I'M
der government instructions, but will
be paid by the city. The pay will be
not less than $500 year nor more than
81, 200. The ranger will patrol both Par
Iey's and City Greek canyons. The new
land will be in the Wasatch reserve and
under the direction Of r. V. Reynolds,
supervisor for this district.

INSURGENTS WILL
PUT Up A TICKET
Spirit of Rivalry Is Being
Stirred Up at CONNER
CiaI Club.

With the certainty that within a day
or two-perhaps tOday-an opposition
ticket naming candidates for election
to the board of governors win be
placed in the field by the insurgents"
the coming annual election of the
Commercial club promises TO be en-
HVened.
Following the prescribed procedure
the board Of governors recently ap-
pointed a nominating committee, which
in turn selected six candidates, five
to succeed retiring members of the
board of governors and one to fill the
uneXpired tWO-year term Of Secretary
Joseph E. Game. The committees Sc
lection, which met with the approval
Of the board of governors and is now
posted in the club, was Frank S. Muir
ply, JOY ii. Johnson, George ID. Alder,
H Vance Lane, w. W. Armstrong and
John S. Bransford. OF these, Mr..
Johnson was nominated to succeed
himself, and Mr., Bransford to complete
Mr. Gaines term.
The choice of the nominating COM
mittee is generally considered to have
been a wise one, the group represent
ing the varied interests Of the club, but
the Insurgents" whose thirst for in
suTging is unappeasabIei have served
notice that they are going to insurge,
if only for the fun of stirring up some
spirit of rivalry.
For the past week there has been
noticeable gathering in the corners
and corridors. The mysterious con-
versations carried with them the air of
conspiracy, and the truth leaked out
yesterday. The "insurgent' slate Is
about completed. Last night it lacked
only two names to complete the rival
six, and these will be decided upon
today. By night or tomorrow after
noon the new ticket viii be pasted up
by the side Of the regulars" and the
battle will be on. The election occurs
January 8 and between now and then
the hours in the club room viii be de
voted to a considerable extent to cleo
tiOneeTing.

SANTA CLAUS GETS A
HABIT OF HANGING ON

Is there any town on earth where
the children get so much Christmas as
in salt Lake? This question suggests
itself from the fact that, although
Christmas day has passed by, Santa
Claus continues to appear and hand
out all sorts of good things, regardless
of the fact that ne is supposed to be
in his icy lair in the polar regions.
The Danish Brotherhood Of America
held a social and dance, followed by
refreshments, at the l. o. 0. F. hall
in Post office place last night, but the
main feature was the Christmas tree
loaded with gifts for every child at
tending, and the appearance Of Santa
to see that each child thoroughly en-
joyed itself. Julius Jahansen essayed
the role of Santa Claus.
A committee Of entertainment had
been appointed by the brotherhood,
which is as follows: P. Anderson, So
plus Petersen, T. II. Lauretzen, P
Lowe and o. Hensen. About 125
'grOwnups" and $50 children attended
the affair.

or 500 feet from the surface on the Levan
ridge. It is for this reason they are so
earnest to have the land board take up
the work and push il few hundred more
feet.
If flowing wells can be developed along
the Levan ridge, a wonderful boom will
set in in that part of the state, and in
many others where it has been thought
no water could be found. Under the
present system Of farming near Nephi.
the farmers live in the town as they can
not get water on the farms without haul
ing it for miles.
The fact that water can be found at all
has been a great help to the farmers, and
in case q flowing well cannot be found,
the farmers will put up Windmiils and
storage tanks for their water This will
alleviate the present conditions to a great
extent and viii certainly result in a great
boon to the men who have already cult
waited thousands of acres of land in this
part OF the state and are working the
farms on the arid farm principles.

While employed under Mr.. Hayward,
Behling frequently had his pay-ehecks

no question was asked when he presented
a check Christmas eve, which called for
the usual pay-Check amount. The police
believe that he left the city Christmas

Believing that he has fairly flooded the
city with forged checks. ranging in their
amount from $50 to $50, the detective
department last night began a vigorous
search for Paul Behling, until recently
employed by the Salt Lake Building x
Manufacturing company. The name of
Henry J. Hayward president of the COM
paHy, is forged TO the checks, which are
made out on the National Bank Of the
Republic.

three Of Behring'S forgeries, all bearing
the name of Hayward. One was cashed
