DISPUTE OVER
STRUCTURE IN STREET
Query: Is an Arch a Piece of Fur
niture or Part of a
Building?

CHICAGO. July SO.-Is the knights
Templar arch in La Sale a piece of
furniture, or is it a building? This was
the question yesterday in the minds of
various crafts employed in the con-
struction of the arch, AS a result the
Upholsterers' union clashed with MEM
bers of the Painters union.
Trouble was averted only after the
officials of the construction and deco
rating company discharged the up
holsterers employed to tack cheese
cloth on the surface of the framework
and substituted painters on the job
Forgetting to take into account the
niceties of jurisdictional lines between
the various crafts of organized labor,
the employers hired upholsterers to do
cheesecloth work, especially as the
workers get a salary of only $1S a
week, while painters and decorators
receive 60 cents an hour.
Because of the unusual nature of
the work and the hazard of working
near the trolley wires, the painters

NEW YORK, July SO.-Mayor Cay

to put a stop to the distribution of free
beer to policemen and firemen by sew

practice was called to his attention in
a letter from Fire Commissioner Waldo
which has been made public by order
of the mayor. The letter says:
Yesterday evening a battalion chief
at my direction visited a brewery on
129th street for the purpose of determ-
lining what firemen, if any, were at
that time drinking in the premises. He
was at first refused admission to the
drinking room of the brewery on the
ground that it was reserved for the
use of policemen and firemen exelu-
sively. On producing evidence that he
was a member of the uniformed force
he was allowed to enter He found
three firemen and fourteen policemen
in uniform in a room drinking. They
were provided with a keg of beer.

Agricultural Department Reports
Hay Is Worth $50 to

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 3O.-How
would you like to be truck farmer in
Alaskan"
This is a hypothetical question asked
by the United States department of
agriculture. In an official report from
the department the question and the
answer are included. The report says
Would you care to run a truck
farm with strawberries at $1.25 to 81 a
quart, cucumbers 81 to $5 a dozen,
celery so cents each, tomatoes so cents
to 81 a pound and other products at
proportionate prices? Or would you
prefer general farming with few pigs

at $50 to 500 a ton, hogs 80 cents a
pound, young pigs rs cents pound and
eggs 50 a dozen?
"These prices are received in Alaska

What do you fellows think this is,

Agent William Nestor of the Painters
union. when he spied the upholsterers
busily engaged in covering the naked
ness of the arch with strips of cheese
cloth.
Don't you know this arch is
building and that this work belongs to
the painters and decorators? If you
fellows don't hike off to a furniture
factory and give our men a chance on
this I'll strike the job"
A hurried consultation Of employers
followed and the painters were put to
work.
1t was planned by the construction
company to whitewash the arch after
the cheesecloth had been tackled on.
When Business Agent Nestor learned
of this he again threatened strike.
He told the officials the Painters union
would not permit them to whiteWash
the structure because there is no

Sorry" said NestOr, there are no

MYSTERY TO BE SOLVED


One week after he had taken the
place of Manu-, murdered mysteriously
at Puuloa, Kauhaihao was found dead
III his bunk yesterday, shot through the
head.
The bullet, still wet with his blood,
was found IN the pocket of his kimono.
His dead hand was clenched over the
butt Of a revolver.
From the direction taken by the
bullet through Kauhaihaos brain it is
impossible that it could have LODGED
itself III the pocket. How it got there
is mystery,
Suspicion exists that suicide is not
the cause Of death
