FEAR PLASTERERS'
STRIKE MAY SPREAD
Contractors Say That Labor
Trouble May Involve All
Building Trades.

The strike Of the plasterers at the
Lillard building on Fourth South and
Main streets. which was caused by the
refusal Of master plasterers TO agree
TO employ none but union men. has now
spread over the entire city. Yesterday
twelve contractors, representing TWEEN
ty-four big jobs and a score Of smaller
jobs. were notified that the plasterers
would not return TO work unless the
demands OF the union were granted
The nonuniou men employed at these
jobs were designated as plasterers'
helpers and We're receiving from $3.50
to $3.50 per day. The demand Of the
union was that all men. whether hOd
carriers mixers or wheelers. should re-
ceive $3.50 per day and all carry union
cards. q.
Frank Doran. plaster contractor for
the Lillard building, last night said.
Il think il is one Of the most serious
strikes we have had here. It IS not
serious from the plasterers' standpoint
alone. but from the fact that present
indications are that the strike will
spread to all Of the affiliated unions in
the Building Trades council. This
strike affects only about seventy men
in the city and twelve contractors
THE contractors held a meeting yes
terday TO devise ways and means for
controlling the conditions" added Mr..
Doran. Just what plan was devised ]
cannot give out, but you can say that
the plastering job on the Lillard build
ing is going to be finished and finished
without much delay. As yet the strtk-
ers have appointed no time to meet the
contractors and we have appointed no
time to meet them. The work VIII go
on. however. and II the men who carry
union cards do not care 10 complete
the work some one else will. The con-
tractors are not going to be bossed by

Washington. April 1.--Three factions
Of the house committee on public
lands today pulled and hauled at the
administration bin for the withdrawal
of pubic lands for conservation pur-
poses. Republicans from public land
states. who object to any change In
public flnd policies. ana republicans
who are followers of the modern con-

an agreement as between two bills.
In the end the democrats denounced
both measures az being designed to

They then introduced bill of their

The republicans were divided In sup
port of a bill introduced In the senate
by Mr.. Nelson, which would give the
president absolute authority to with
draw public lands for conservation
purposes or classification, and the bill
introduced In the house by Mr.. Pickett
of Iowa. which would accomplish the
same purpose and In addition vail

measures would provide the with

certain Withdrawals made under the
Roosevelt administration. 1t had been
charged In debates on the floor of
