BUILDING STRIKE
Trouble Over Sub-letting of Con-
tract May Lead to Gem
eral WalkOut.

A strike that may call out all classes
OF workmen on the new Prudential
building at Academy and Halsey
streets may be declared almost any
minute. This is the belief of we'll
informed labor leaders who understand
the conditions that resulted IN the
wallsout of the bricklayers, plasterers
and masons yesterday.
More than 200 of them quit yester-
day. and today about fifty more, and
200 laborers who are affiliated with the
same union also quit and walked out
of the building.
This action took place following a
conference between the leaders of the
union and representatives of the He'd
Den Company. of New York, the general
contractors for the building. The
trouble all arises over the sublettine
of the plastering contract to James
Thompson. of New York city, by the
Hedden Company. The members OF
Bricklayers. Masons and Plasterers
Union No. 8 claim that the subiettine
of this part of the contract Is a VIOLA
ton of the agreement with the union
This the company denies, and both
sides are standing pat on the conten.
tion.
The conference this morning was a
short one, in which both sides stated
their positions. Following it II. S.
Gardner. general superintendent for
the Hedden Company on the Prudential
contract, was said to have gone to
New York to confer with the company.
At the New York office. it was said
that they knew nothing of any trouble
in Newark, and that Mr.. Gardner had
not been seen around the New York
Offices At the local offices here it was
stated positively that Mr.. Gardner was
in New York.
The new trouble is but one of many
that have come up over the employ
ment of outside workmen on the new
building
"Ironworkers, carpenter and work
men of all kinds have been brought In
from New York. said member of the
Bricklayers' Union today ''and have
forced Newarkers out of good positions
AS result, we have to fight for our
rights. When a contract is sublet to
New York man he brings many of
his own men over here with him, and
we who live in Newark cannot get the
work That is what our contention is
now If Thompson is allowed to do the
plastering, many of our men will be
forced out by New York men,

If there are persons who were

Guthrie, Okla. Aug. 24.-The state
of Oklahoma increased its property
values sl36, $50 .eS4, or 1878 per cent
during the last year, according to the
assessment rolls for 1909 which are
now almost complete. Private prop

assessors. has S126, ,34O, 1868 of this in

heating, street railway, and the Pull
man company, assessed by the state
board of equalization, have $lO,2l0,S5S
Of the increase.
The corporate assessments for 1909
total s214,417 ,437. or an increase of as
per centum over 1908. These assess
ments have not yet been distributed
among the various counties Of the
state and how much of such valuation
should go to each county is yet under
termined.
The private property assessments,
as opposed to corporate, we're made by
the counties themselves, as above said
and the figures in each county show
its valuation. These county assess
ments total ,649 9,6557l5, an increase
Of 2414 per centum over the same
total for 1903.
The total valuation for the state is
thus shown to be ss64,O7si50, as op-
posed to the total valuation for 1908
OF s727,722.516.
The county assessments for this
year, when compared with 1908, afford
an interesting analysis of the marvel
GUS growth Of Oklahoma within the
last year. sixty-six counties out of the
seventy-six, show an increase Of 26
per centum in property values over

year: three counties show an increase
Of l02 per centum over last year, or

The counties doubling values are

northeastern part Of the state, where
restrictions are rapidly being remov-

fit is in SAVING on the prices Of goods.
Two ways are followed in getting the
goods to the public. the first being the
regular channels and the second by
mail orders. 1t is in charge of state
business agent, whose function is su-
perintending distribution to the pub
lie and who reports to an executive
board of the union. The state execu-
tive committee. in reality the direct
ing head OF the factories, is at liberty
to have the books examined whenever
they want to.
"Our success in Georgia." Mr.. Duck
worth told the Oklahoma union, lis ac-
counted for in our consolidated effort
and the absence of wrangIes or jeal-
ousy among the officials. We went
about the proposition like business
men would if they wanted to organize
a shoe company and figured the cost
of production, material, labor and all
down to a decimal point. Against this
we placed the amount Of the commodi-
ties sold to our people, then we COM
pared the two to find out where we
would finish financially and worked
out that we could make good money
and undersell the other fellow.

scheme, then 90 about it as party of
railroad magnates would if they were
promoting a new line. Have a busi-
ness basis to start with. The trouble
with the farmer is not that he is in

leaders and speakers have been giving
him hot air instead Of business ad-
vice. The result is that the farmer
has been trying to climb rainbows.

we worked out tangible proposition

the result that we have succeeded

The only way for the farmer to han

business agency sufficient

footing with the middleman and then
do business like the other fellow"
He recommended a business amalga-

Georgian Tells Oklahomans
How They Solved Problem

Shawnee, Okla, Aug. 24-HoW Geor-
gia farmers worked out the problem
OF cheaper materials and relieved
themselves Of combinations made for
the express purpose of keeping up
prices OF commodities was told the
Oklahoma Farmers Union by ex-Pres-
ident DuckWorth of Union City, Ca,
who visited this organization as a
fraternal delegate and as the per-
sonaI representative Of President Bar
rett. The Farmers Union of Georgia
mas a Farmers Union town. The pre-
vailing high prices for materials
which the farmers Of that section were
compelled to pay let to the establish
ment of cooperative factories and the
building Of Union City, seventeen
miles from Atlanta. Two years ago
the spot was a cotton patch. It now
is a factory center with about 400 po-
ulation. An electric line will soon
connect the place with the conven-
fences of Atlanta and there is in con-
temptation a system OF municipal i'm
provements.
Implements were high in price, so a
factory to maze them was established
with 100000 capital The farmers
needed phosphate, or fertilizer. and
that cost considerable, but the union
started a cooperative phosphate plant
with 100000 capital. Harness stood
in about the same relation to the farm
er as did the other two commodities,
so another 100000 concern was start
ed to sell harness at a seasonable fig
ure and profit. The fourth institution
is a buff brick plant that cost $4,000
Predictions were made that the ven
lures were fun of moonshine, as Mr..
Duckworth explained. and would not
pan out. The new village had one rail
road then, it now has three with the
same shipping facilities and rates that
are given to Atlanta.
Results OF the ventures, according

prove them failures. The fertilizer
factory reduced the price of that com
modify from 50 to SO per ton, last year
saving Georgia farmers $2,0OOOOO and
this year VIII save them $S,OO0,OOO.
The implement factory cut the price
10 per cent which meant another $780,
OOQ to the farmer. The harness shop
has done well. and the buff brick
plant is making the union money. All
the products have general sale
throughout the southern states.

subjects to be found in any other edu-
cational institution, but will pay parti;
