MAY FIRST SEES STRIKES IN
Los ANGELES AND OTHER PLACES

LOS ANGELES, May 1.-The first
union labor men in this city began
today, when all carpenters were or
dered out to enforce a demand for
a daily wage of "a, instead of the
present pay of $3.50.
About 500 men are said to have
quit. More will join them, according
to union headquarters.
James A. Gray of this city, gen
eral organizer for the United Broth
erhood of Carpenters and Joiners,
vice-president of the State Building
Trades Council, who is directing the
actions of the carpenters, said that
he did not wish it thought that their
present movement is a general
strike.
Asked if other building trades
would aid the carpenters to obtain
their demand, Gray said he had no
information on that subject.
Notwithstanding, strained situa-
ton exists in the bakers trade,
which may result in strike at any
time. 1t is possible that other trades
will be effected later.
]. T. Campbell, secretary OF the
Builders Exchange, said that the
situation as explained by Gray was
correct.
Apprehension was felt in some
quarters that two meetings tonight
for the purpose of expressing SYM
pathy with the strikers might result
in disturbance, but they passed with
out incident.
Ten Thousand Employees in the
Pennsylvania Shops on Strike.
PITTSBURG, May 1.-The shop

erhood of Carmen, Boilermakers and
Helpers, Sheet Metal Workers, the
International Association of Machin-
lists and Laborers and the Federal
Labor Union, an organization of for
eign laborers about railroads, ali of
which are affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
The cause is the allegation by the
men that in it's retrenchment policy
the railroad dismissed men who were
active in union ranks. No statement
is forthcoming from the railroad
company.

CLEVELAND, May About 5000
Socialists, including thousand
women, held a mass meeting in the
public square this afternoon and
later marched through the public
streets. A crowd of sympathizers of
the union workers, who are on strike,
attacked non-union iron workers en-
ployed in building a bridge. Several
shots were exchanged and stones
and other missiles thrown. Thirty
marble settlers helpers quit work as
a demonstration of sympathy for
Chicago helpers who are on strike.

determination to do so has been af-
fected by the recent change in Sec

Mr.. D. M. Carr, at one time private
secretary to the former secretary, is
probably leaving the service because
he does not find conditions so con-
genial as under the old regime. AS
sistant Secretary Wilson left the

changes scheduled to occur, will leave

and took the position of principal
law officer and adviser to the secre-
tary, he did so with considerable re-
luctance. 1t is gwell known that
Lawler has not been pleased with
his service at any time, and has not
been in harmony with the technical
construction-generally adverse to
entrymen-in vogue in the depart
ment for some time. Mr.. Lawler,
while a warm friend of Ballinger,
long since announced his intention
to retire, and would have done so,
probably, whether there had been a
change of secretaries or not.

entertain, If, under his administra-
ton, the laws as they are on the
statute books are fairly admins
tered. Should his new appointments
consist largely of men who consider
it their duty and mission in life to
construe the laws, not as they were
intended, but to carry out policies
which they believe the laws should
provide for, the result will be disas-
trous to the West and cannot in the
long run be satisfactory to the new
secretary or to the party to which
he belongs"
The new secretary, coming into
Office without any previous knowl-
edge of the workings of the ma
chinery of the department, must nee
essarily depend largely upon his sub
ordnates in the various bureaus. It
is we'll known that in several of the
bureaus which are most intimately
connected with Western affairs,
there is a strong disposition to ex-
tend, enlarge and perpetuate bureau
cratic control This is specially true
of the geological survey. Whether or
no the new secretary is going to al
low the survey and other bureaus to
do his thinking for him and lead him
into their extreme views is yet to be
developed.

FARMERS MAKE OWN MEATS
Concrete Smokehouse Eliminates All
Danger OF Destruction by Fire
Good for Storage,

In these days OF high prices OF
meats we farmers ought to remember
that we can make our own meats,
both fresh and smoke, the same as our
forefathers did In years gone by. The
old smokehouses have gone on many
farms. and It Is time the good, old
arrangement was revived.
a A smokehouse made of wood, how.
ever, Is o little dangerous, and as
lumber Is getting high In price, and
rather scarce, we must turn our atten.
ton to something else.
The one thing which I consider
Ideal and indestructible is concrete,
says writer In Farm Progress. A
small house can be quilt OF concrete,
and there is no danger OF It being
burned.
A good smokehoues can be made OF
concrete on foundation OF stone laid
below the frost line, and besides being
safe from fires. with the right kind Of
doors and locks there is no danger OF
any OF our meat being stolen.
Then, too, the smokehouse lie not
only suitable for the storage OF meats,
but other things as well. II II is
