NO TROUBLE ON
 CAPITOL EXPECTED BEDFORD STONE MATTER
LABOR QUESTION NOT THE CAUSE OF CARS BEING
 RETURNED.

Little Rock, May 30-No trouble in the setting of the Bedford stone on the dome of the new capitol is antici- pated by the contractors, according to a statement obtained yesterday from an authentic source. Several carloads of stone which have already arrived have been turned back, but this action was taken because the stone was not satisfactory ana not be- cause of any stand taken by stone workers That some of the stone workers have said that they would not handle the Bedford stone because it was quarried by non-union men is denied but is is stated that the con- tractors have already arranged with another branch of the stone-workers union to handle the stone It is stat ed that there are two divisions of un- ion labor among stone-cutters, the general and the international organiz- ations. both affiliated with the Fedora tion of Labor, and that the TWO or ganzations have taken opposite sides in the Bedford stone affair. If the members of one organization will not | handle the Bedford stone the members of the other will.
 Concerning the matter Governor Donaghey yesterday said: Someone representing himself to be an official of the stone-cutters union, reported to the capitol commission that the stone contracted for by the capitol
 contractors was unfair stone or, in other words, was not being quarried and cut by union workmen. We re- ported this statement to the eontrac- tors upon receiving the report. The contractors stated that there were several unions among the men engag throughout the country and that the fight over the stone complained of is fight between two of these unions. The capitol commission has taken no ac- tion concerning the unfair feature of the stone nor will it do so until a thorough investigation of all charges has been made
 The governor further stated that he did not know that it would be neces- sary to even make such an investiga- tion or take any action. He also said that if any stone had been turned down the action was not taken because of the stand of labor organizations.

THE JUVENILE BAND.

After serenading the residents of the city at different times, thinking each time that there would be some thing doing, but being compelled to return to headquarters with dry whistle, the band boys appointed a committee to purchase the necessary ingredients beforehand and during practice hour Saturday night they had all the red lemonade they could make way with at their own expense.
 These little fellows are certainly making rapid headway with their in- struction in music and if they pro gress in future as much as they have in the past it will not be long before they will be in demand in a profes- sional way.
 A committee has been appointed and an effort is being made by the boys to secure an appropriation by He -@.'tta ai tauEay lui d suitable amount each month to enable them to give twice-a-week public concerts.
 This would not only be good amuse- ment for the people of our little town but would greatly encourage the little fellows and at the same time greatly help them in defraying their incident al but necessary expenses.
