WOLFF STRIKE
is STILL ON
Mechanics Must Show Cards
--Post Warning Sign.

Union carpenters. painters and plum
bers employed on d. Wolff's new store
and Office building at Madison avenue
and Smith street who struck Saturday
are still holding out and expect to re-
main so until conditions on the job are
made to conform with union regula-
tions. That means that every mechanic
not a contractor must show a union
card.
Business agents William Murtagh, of
the local Carpenters Union and Jesse
Davis, of the local Painters and Dee
orators union, investigated today and
attempted to have the difficulty set
tied. They say they conferred with
contractors on the job and also with
the owner without much satisfaction.
The factsthat today is recognized as a
holiday hindered their plans.
Tile workers and marble settlers were
to have been called off today in order
to tie up the job completely. 1t is
understood they do not belong to an
association that is affiliated with the
Building Trades Council and therefore
they were left to continue at work. A
number Of men brought from parts Of
the northern section of the state were
on the job this morning and these the
local business agents believe are nom
union workers.
As a warning to people other than
those employed on the building. a sign
was posted at the entrance on Saturday
prohibiting admittance except when on
business.

TREATY FIGHT
IN The HOUSE
Taft Is 0~ptomistic Over
Final Outcome of Bill.

Washington, Feb. 13-The first real
cattle for the Canadian reciprocity
treaty is expected In the house today
when Representative Mccall of Mas
sachusetts will attempt to force a vote
or the measure that bears his name.
That the treaty will be adopted In the
lower branch of congress is admitted,
but not before its opponents have been
heard.
President Taft is back from his trip
to Illinois, where he talked treaty In
every speech he delivered. He has re-
ceived many messages congratulating
him on the success Of his trip and is
optimistic over the final outcome of the
fight on this measure.
All the same, the president doesn't
Intend to abate the order OF his cam
paign. He realizes that now is the
accepted time to put the. agreement
through, because the opposition to reci-
procity is not organized. He will make
every effort TO get a vote in both
branches of congress as soon as posi-
BILE.
Secretary of State Knox Is to speak
on reciprocity at a dinner In Chicago
Wednesday, and Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Wilson is to advocate it at a din
ner in Buffalo on Washington's birth
day. Secretary of Commerce and La
Dor Nagel win speak at Akron, o..
probably this week, while Attorney
General Wickersham may be drafted
for the war.
The president himself will continue
his personal campaign. He feels that
IL he can only reach the people with
an explanation of what the agreement
mean and Of what it does not mean
the country and consequently congress
will be with him.
On the way east from Fort Wayne,
Ind, where he arrived early yesterday,
the president attracted more attention
than he has on most of his recent trips.
Thousands Of people were out at the
stations to see him. He did not speak,
but went on the platform frequently
to bow.

On account of Postmaster Tice's
stubbornness.
1 don't need any, and seek not
free advertising. As q newspaper
man for twenty years, ] have really
had more than l wanted, good and
bad.
/ do not think for a moment that
Postmaster Tfce Is to blame for the
damage done to the mail boxes, but
he is certainly to blame for that the
damage has not long ago been re-
paired, after his attention repeatedly
has been called thereto by the differ
emit mail carriers.
The United States Government
do not ask, require or demand that
a irst-class postmaster throw him.
self into the breach ''for the good"
Of the service.
Absolutely not, Mr.. Lingle. The
postal department in Washington
demand that irst-class post offices
have the best services obtainable; If
help is needed, all the postmaster
has to do is TO ask for it, and he will
get 1t.
The postal department does not
employ p~ostmasters as slave drivers,
neither will It allow its employees to
be slaves.
1t does not appoint a postmaster
for S~herloeking, for that and other
purposes, it has men called inspect
ors..
1t happens now and then, when
some of these inspectors are visiting
the different offices, that they find
some office lacking improvements,
which could be had If the postmaster
had asked for It.. Then said inn
provements are forthcoming. For
example, like the stamping machine
in our office put there by the order
OF a clear-sighted and considerate
Inspector, not by order of Postmas-
ter Tiee.
/ have nothing to do at the pres
ent time with the local affairs. If
the different departments need crit
icising, let others who are more con-
versant with city affairs than l am,
go ahead and do 1t.
For that matter, 1t seems to me
that our progressive press in this
city is doing splendid work in all To-
cal affairs.
Postmaster Tice may be called
by his friends-the best postmaster
the city has had for thirty years, but
he Is not the best for thirty-two
yearsI
I distinctly remember the good
natured, sweet tempered, accommo-
dating, pleasant looking and most
agreeable gentleman that was post
master In 1879.
What a heavenly contrast to the
present incumbent.
Mr.. Thomas Lfngle, will you kind
ly favor me with the names of bus
mess men that will criticise me for
writing the true facts about Mr.. Tiee
as I have done.
Please do not omit to comply with
my wishi
