Ti- City Master Builders Asso-
citation Has Meeting at
Turner Hall.
OPEN SHOP is CONTENTION
Refuse to Work With
Materials Turned Out by
Those Concerns.

A meeting OF the Tri-Gity Master
Builders association was held this
afternoon at the Turner hall in this
city and boss carpenters from all the
three cities were present. The meet
ing was called for the purpose of dis
cussing the demands of the journey
men carpenters.
These demands are for higher wages
and for a stronger recognition of the
union by a promise not to buy from
local shops which are run on the open
shop principle. One of the bosses stat
ed in an interview with an Argus rep
resentative: I'VE are willing to grant
the demands of the carpenters as far as
the increase in wages is concerned. In
fact, we have already informed them
of that concession. But when it comes
to debating to us where we shall do
our buying, we feel that they are go
ing too far. This leaves us with prae-
tically no choice in this most impor-
tant item of our business. If the de-
mands of the men were more consist
ent we would give them more consid-
Grafton, but as it stands they do not
object to the fact that the dimension
lumber which they use every day is
cut by men who live in the backwoods
and who never heard of union.
Considering Cause of Action.
1T is the inside finishing materials
which causes the rub. Most of this
is prepared in local shops and the
men refuse to put it into place unless
it is prepared in a place which meets
with their approval. We are inclined
to think the carpenters demands are
unjust, but the meeting for this after
noon was called to consider them
fully before we decide upon any course
of action"

COUNTY JUDGE IS
INVITED TO CHICAGO
Asked to Fill Position in Municipal
Court Made Vacant Temporarily
by Sickness.

Judge R. w. Olmsted of the county
court received a communication today
from Judge Harry Olson, who is at
the head of the municipal court In
Chicago. In which he was requested to
go to Chicago, If possible, and occupy
a seat in the municipal court for a
period of Id or 20 days while one Of
the regular municipal judges is re-
covering from an attack of sickness
The letter explained that an act of the
legislature made it possible for county
judges to exchange places with mu-
nicipal judges and that therefore it
was thought advisable to fill the bench
of the sick judge with county judge.
Press of business makes 1t impossible
for Judge Olmsted to accept the invi-
tation TO sit in the municipal court of
Chicago, although he states that he
would very much like to have done so.

PHONE COMPANY
READY TO BEGIN
Central Union Sends a Check
for $4,000 to City Clerk
Rudgren.
ORDINANCE SATISFACTORY
EIoney VIII Come in Handy in Tenn
porarily Tiding Municipality
Over Emergency.

The Central Union Telephone COM
pany, from it's general offices, has sent
to City Clerk NJ. T. Rudgren official
notice that it is willing to accept the
ordinance adopted by the city council
last month, and the check for $4,000,
which was to be given to the city upon
the ordinance being approved, accom-
panied the letter of acceptance.
This action has finally settled the
controversy between the city and the
telephone company, and they are now
at peace with each other and in har-
monious accord. This was not true
for the past four years, as the city had
declared the company's franchise void
and the corporation had been operating
under an injunction restraining the
city from interfering with its business.
AS a result of the new ordinance the
wires Of the company located in the
fire limits will be placed under ground
as rapidly as this can be accomplished.
The fire limits extend from Thirteenth
to Twenty-fourth streets and south to
Fifth avenue.
Money for Salaries.
The check which accompanied the
letter was a most welcome addition to
the city treasury. inasmuch as the APP
preparations for the salaries of city Of
fcials were running pretty low and in
some cases were entirely used up. The
sum received from the telephone COM
pany which, by the way, is to REIN
burse the municipality for its expenses
during the tendency of the law suit
over the franchise revocation, will pro-
vide salary money for some time to
come, probably until the city gets its
share of the annual taxes which are
now being collected. OF the total
amount received from the telephone
company $500 is to be used in Install
ing new police and fire alarm system.

Losing Them.

Pearl Marshall, Davenport negress,
was arrested last night by officer
Church on information furnished to the
local police by the Davenport depart
ment The woman was charged by
Harry Howard, a negro from Daven-
port, with having stolen two diamond
rings from him. 1t seems that Howard
and the woman were lovers and he
had been calling upon her. He was
pretty well "piped," however, and was
pretty hay as to what was going on.
When it came time for him to go home
he found that he was minus two dia-
mond rings of considerable value, and
he lost no time in telling the Daven-
port police that his ''colored gal" had
"swiped" them. The woman in the
meantime had ducked out and come to
this city and the Davenport police
were unable to find her.
Protests Her Innocence.
She denied having stolen the rings.
they were found in her pos
session. Her explanation was that her
lover was drunk and that she had
merely taken them to keep him from
losing them. The story was too thin
to go with the police, and she was
taken back to Davenport. Her lover
relented after getting the valuables
back and began to change his story.
He said he guessed that he had made
a mistake in thinking she had stolen
them and that the story she told was
true After a while he began
to remember that he had placed the
rings on her fingers himself 1t looked

however, that he was merely trying to
get the woman out of trouble. and so
she was given sentence of 1O days

BURGLARS SCARED
Beat Retreat After Effecting
Entrance to Strecker &
Lewis Store.
TAKE NOTHING OF VALUE
Hole Cut in One of Glass Doors and
Lock of Door Opened-Discov-
cred This Morning.

Evidences of an attempted bur-
glary were apparent this morning
when the store of Strecker e Lewis,
Fifteenth street and Second avenue,
was opened by Mr.. Strecker. A hole
had been cut in one of the glass
doors and the lock on the inside had
been opened, offering ready access
to the place. Mr.. Strecker thought
at once that the valuable supply Of
brushes which the firm keeps on
hand had attracted the burglars, but
an examination showed that they
were all intact His attention was
thereupon turned to the safe behind
the counter, but this, too, was in its
usual shape, and as far as he could
see after looking the store over,
nothing had been taken or even dis
turbed.
Had Been Entered, Though.
The evidence was plain, however,
that the store had been entered. A
glass cutter, probably a diamond, had
been used in cutting out the section
of the glass Mr.. Strecker is at loss
to account for the fact that nothing
In the store was taken or even dis
turbed, as there were many things of
value lying about on the counters.
About $500 worth of fine brushes alone
are kept in stock. 1t appears that the
only explanation is that the burglars
were frightened away after effecting
al entrance to the place and that they
were afraid to come back again.

EXPLAIN new PLAN
Young & McCombs' Clerks En-
tertained at Luncheon in
Cafe Last Evening.
COOPERATION IS SOUGHT
In Putting Store Upon Mutual Basis
E. S. Phillips Tells of Advan-
tages of Proposition.

The firm of Young & McCombs enter
tanned the clerks of the establishment
last evening with a luncheon in the
cafe on the fourth floor, and after it's
conclusion the new cooperative plan
which the store has adopted was eX-
planned to them and they were asked 10
give their assistance in making it a
success. E. Phillips of Marion, Ind,
and his corps of assistants and fellow
stockholders in the cooperative scheme
each made speeches explaining the
plan These speakers were George
Davis, H. NJ. Bell. r. E. Williams, w.
S. Mercer, B. c. Crow, w c. Ruther-
ford, NJ. Inman and w. E. Smith, all
men who are interested in large de-
partment stores in different parts of
the country.
Assures Store Of Trade.
The cooperative store, as explained
by Mr.. Phillips, is one which has two
advantages over other stores through
which the consumer is the direct bene-
ficiary. In the first place, cooperative
stores are banded together as far as
buying goes, enabling them to save
considerable money through securing
merchandise in immense quantities.
There are about 80 stores in the chain
with which the local concern has be-
come affiliated The second aim of the
cooperative scheme is to secure pat
ronage because of having the buying
public interested in the success of the
store. This is done by getting them
to subscribe for small amounts of
stock which, besides paying a per
cent rate of interest on the investment,
entities the holder to rebate Of five
per cent on all purchases. These re-
bates are paid semi-annually, and they
result, in the words of the speaker,
Gin a monopoly of the trade of the
stockholders which secures an enor-
nous amount Of business because 9TH
erwise the trading public consists of
floaters who go from store to store to
do their buying, and do not give all
their patronage to one place"
Want 5000 Stakeholder.
F. G. Young of the firm acted as
toastmaster, and introduced the speak |
ers. One hundred and fifty clerks were
present, and considerable enthusiasm
was shown, all promising to aid in |
