CARPENTERS TO
REDUCE HOURS
HOURS TO CONSTITUTE A
DAYS WORK AFTER FIRST
OF JULY.

At a largely attended meeting of
the local carpenters union held last
night, definite action was taken on
the after of reducing the working
hours in this city, and, effective July
first, eight hours will constitute
day work for the members of the
union.
Heretofore nine hours have been
considered a day and for some time
the question of reducing the number
of hours to eight has been considered
by the union and the question has
been discussed at previous meetings.
Practically all the carpenters of
Brunswick are members of the local
union and consequently the new rule
will be observed by all of them. 1t
Is not expected that their action will
meet with any objections by contract
ors and others in the city.

GERS were informed here today Of the
capture of Mapimi by the insurrectos
under Colonel Canelels.
Confirmation of this report would
indicate Orozco's success was accom-
plished fully in the flank movement to
the southwest of Conejos, begun on
Sunday to check the federal advance.
BY worrying the government forces
in the vicinity of Mapimi, Orozco
hoped to divert large part of the
Huerta brigade southwark.
The federal garrisons at Bermejillo
and Mapimi We're reported to be small
and a detachment of insurrectos in
that vicinity later may harrass even
the federal base at Torreon.
Francisco Pradillo, who ten days
ago went to San Antonio, Tex as an
alleged envoy of OroZco and brought
Emilio Vasquez Gomez here, was lock-
ed up late last night. Early today he
was sent southwark in custody to Chi

Jose Cordova, secretary of state of
Chihuahua, who came north to explain
the m ix-up over the assumption of the
provisional presidency by Gomez, at
tributes the confusion to the over
zealousness of Pradillo.

GOVERNMENTS SUIT AGAINST
SUGAR TRUST is BEING
HARD FOUGHT.

New York, May IA. - When the
nearing in the governments suit, to
dissolve the United States Steel Cor
poratlon was resumed today, James T.
Mcfarland, tin plate jobber Of North
Philadelphia, was called in support
of the governments contention that
the American Tin Place company sup
pressed competition
Mcfarland said he had handled
many special private brands, wnlcn he
was forced to assign to the American
Tin Plate company in 1899, with a
stipulation that ne would not buy his
tin plate elsewhere.
According to letter from the tin
plate company to his firm, which the
witnessed identified, it was the trusts S
purpose to protect this company in
the exclusive manufacture of plate. a"
Later, he said, the American Tin
Plate company arranged with jobbers
whereby the company offered rebates
on conditions that jobbers purchase
their tin plate exclusively from it.
Howard M. Davis of Philadelphia,
formerly sales manager of the Amer
lean Tin Plate company, testiged as
an expert on conditions in the indus
try at the time ID. g Reid and Will
liam H. Moore brought about the big
consolidation under the control of the
American Tin Plate company of New
Jersey. He said 95 per cent of the
industry was controlled by tnis com
bination.
Davis said he represented the AM
erican Tin Plate company and the
American Sheet Steel company at
meetings on tin plate and sheet steel
manufacturers came to understand
ings on prices"
"We would discuss whether prices
should be advanced or lowered" he
said Somebody would say = think
III advance mine SO ton, and others
would say i don't think I'll change
mine at all. I"
WAS there a general understand
ing when the meeting adjourned as to
whether you would all quote the
same price?" interrupted Judge Dick
inson.
Yes, we usually expected to stick
to that price and expected the others
to, but frequently they didn't"
"Then what happened?"
Tine offender would be investigated
by the chairman of the meeting and
another meeting would be called. The
would be asked about it and
he would usually say 4 made mis-
take or it was an error of my sales
man. Then he would promise that it
would not happen again and we'd all
go away with another understanding"

With triplicate engines and has a
speed of Is miles an hour.
In the past the tug Admiral Dewey

larger lighters can be towed and much
time can be saved on the trips.
Mr. HenSeIl will leave again shortly

steamer to this port. 1t is not known
whether the Admiral Dewey will also
be kept on the run or whether she
