BREWER FERGG GIVES
BOND TO PAY TAXES,

Joseph Fergg. president of the John
Fergg Brewery, of Springfield avenue,
whose financial troubles were in the
Court of Chancery yesterday, on a no
ctsn to discharge the receiver, gave a
bond in $500 to the Federal authorities
today to cover the alleged shortage in
revenue stamps on certain barrels OF
beer in his cellar. The bond is given
pending a decision from Uncle Sam
whether Mr.. Fergg is really liable or
not. 1t was claimed yesterday that 800
barrels We're unstamped. but President
Fergg says that the tax on them is not
due, and that there has been a lot of
evaporation. for which he did not o
slider himself responsible.

CARPENTERS OBJECT TO
PAINTERS HASTY ACTION,
Labor Unions and Master Build
ers Held Conference Last Night.

There was a conference last night
between the Associated Master Car
penters and a committee of the Build
ing Trades Council over the conditions
of the building trade movement in this
city.
One of the most important matters
discussed was the action of the Paint
ers' unions failing to give to the master
\ painters sufficient notice in their de-
mands for an increase of wages and
better conditions.
The master carpenters said that they
had no objections to offer to the paint
ers seeking increase of wages or any
thing else, but that in all fairness to
the contractor the latter should have
had at least three months notice of
such demands, so hat he could ar
range his contracts to meet the in
crease of wages or shorter hours.
Henry Taylor, who. represents the
Painters unions, was asked today what
he had to say about the complaint of
the master carpenters. He replied that
he was too busy just then to talk
about it.
