BUILDING STRIKE THREATENED
Controversy Between Metal Workers
and Carpenters May Cause Lockout.

A general strike in the building trades
is now threatened over the old controversy
between the Brotherhood of Carpenters ana
the An1algamated Sheet Metal Workers as
to which union should have the right TO
set hollow metal doors and windows Sew
eraI years ago the question was referred
to an arbitration committee representing
both unions and the employers. with Mayor
Gaynor. then Justice Gaynor, as umpire
Mr.. Gaynor decided in favor of the car
penters, but recently the Amalgamated
Sheet Metal Workers began ordering
strikes and other trades struck IN SYM
pathy.
The Employing Roofers and Sheet Metal
Workers Association took up the matter
Yesterday. and laid off every union sheet
metal worker on every building in the city.
The emergency committee Of the Building
Trades Employers Association will meet
tomorrow at the Builders Exchange in
West 32d street, and a general lockout may
follow if the other trades strike in SYM
patny with the sheet metal workers
The carpenters maintain that as wooden
plugs are used in setting the hollow metal
doors and windows the work was plainly
that of carpenters.

CATLIN WANTS CHILDREN
Alleges Former Wife Keeps Them
in Defiance Of Courts Order.

The troubles of George I. Catlin and his
wife, Mrs Marian Briggs Catlin, will be
heard in the Supreme Court again to-mor-
row on write of habeas corpus obtained
by the husband, who seeks to get the
custody of his children awarded TO him
by the court, but taken away from him
by his wife he says.
Catlin, who is member Of the 1th Regi-
nent and formerly was a well known ath-
lete, and his wife have had previous litiga-
ton over the custody of the children. Mrs.
Catlin obtained a divorce from her hus-
band in Reno, Nev. On her return to New
York she took her children 10 Greenpoint,
Long Island. Catlin went there and took
them away. She then brought habeas
corpus proceedings to get her children back,
but Justice Whitney decided against her
and held also that the Reno divorce was
not good in this state, because the hus-
hand had had no opportunity to enter an
appearance.
Catlin complains that Mrs. Emma Van
Week. an aunt Of his former wife, took
the children from the neighborhood of their
home in Harlem 10 Brooklyn, where Mrs.
Catlin is living at No. SO Herkimer street,
and where he says the children have been
seen.

YOUNG SAXOM'S CHECK TRAIL
Detectives Say It Can Be Traced
to Amount of $4,000.

Sarl Alfred Corner, twenty years old anu
oorh IN Chemnitz. Saxony, was arrested III
brooklyn last night. His stepfather, oscar
Mlhhos' a manufacturer of hosiery III
themnltz, sent him to this country WltH
the promise that If he would stay here ne
Woulo send him SO weekly through the
tahklng house of Knauth, Nachod o.
hume NO. 10 William street, Manhattan.
Carl arrived here in August. 1909. Untii
early this month he was satisfied to live
on MS weekly allowance. He boarded at
NO. 2o4 Dean street, Brooklyn. There last
evening he was arrested by Detectives Won
wagner and Murphy. of the District At
torney's staff of Kings County. The charge
was petty larceny
Behind the charge the detectives said,
there was record of the making out or
more than $4,000 of worthless checks upon
the banking firm named, but none of the
checks was cashed. Carl appeared at the
garage of Joseph D. Rourk in Dean street,
on Monday afternoon. and Mr.. Rourk SOLO
him an automobile for s2,2OO. Carl hadn't
his checkbook with him, but the obliging
Mr.. Rourk gave him blank check. which
Carl filed In, the detectives said.
The following morning Carl called at the
garage and going to "his machine" picked
up fur lined overcoat, which belonged TO
Mr.. Rourk. He was passing out with the
coat when an employe intercepted him, but
1t is alleged the young man said he had
bought the coat with the machine.
Mr.. Rourk set detectives on the trail
of Carl. The detectives said they discov-
cred that he had made out checks to the
amount of nearly $4,000. His plan seemed
to be to get into the good graces Of real
estate dealers and garage owners and then
to collect" little things that were lying
around loose.
Apart from the checks never honored by
the banking firm, Detective Won Wagner
has gathered in from real estate men and
automobile dealers checks to the amount
of $500, which never were presented.
