NO TROUBLE TODAY
IN LABOR CIRCLES
1t Seems That the Painters and Paper
hangers Will Not Struggle for
Their lerna rds

Their Demands
Several days ago The Gate City men
toned the fact that the painters and
paperhangers of the city had formulat-
ed demands for a change in the SEIZED.
ule under which they are now work
ing, and had presented to each of the
employing firms, copy of the de-
mands, which was printed in The Gate
City at the time, asking the approval
and signatures of the employers to
the proposed schedule as changed.
The last day Of March was fixed as the
time by which the signed papers by
the employers should be given into
the hands of the committee from the
employed painters and paperhangers
The time expired yesterday and a
visit to several of the business Of
fees of employers developed the fact
that there had been no interruption
or intimation of interruption in the
work today and that their men were
continuing their work as usual
1t was further intimated that claim
is made that there was a mistake or
misunderstanding in the whole mat
ter and that it is claimed by high
official among their number that the
men went beyond the limit in their
demands. However this may be, pres
ent actions do not indicate that the
men are endeavoring to enforce their
demands.

to the police station. The medicine
that Maggie had been taking went to
her feet and she was having a hard
time to keep one foot out of the way
Of the other In addition to Maggie's
apparent intoxicated condition, she
plainly showed that the same kind OF
blood that trickles through Jack
Johnson's veins, also flows freely
through the veins of Maggie Morris
Maggie was drunk and wanted to
fight, and didn't care who knew it, She
said she was guilty this morning, and
was given the limit-thirty days.

THE COUNCIL GETS BUSY
Residents Of Grand Avenue Have a
Conference With the Council
Concerning Boundaries
Of the Street.

To an ordinary layman, the reorgan-
ization Of the city council this morn
ing was Just about as simple and I'M
impressive as it is, possible to make
1t. There was no display of any kind
whatever and the simplest formalities
were conformed with.
Commissioner-elect Hickey was the
only one to be really sworn in, while
Mayor Elder and Commissioner Gray
We're re-sworn. The new member of
the council took the place of former
Commissioner Schmidt, and the swap
ping of places was very modestly con-
summated. The present alignment of
the council will be continued, with
Hickey acting in the place of Schmidt,
Immediately after the swearing in
process had been conformed with, the
council went into session, and the first
business to he taken up was that
brought to the attention of the coun-
Gil by property owners along Crane
avenue, beyond the park. These prop.
erty owners have complaint to make
and they, as well as the city, are
eager to have the complaint satisfac-
torily adjusted.

Grand Avenue Boundary Lines.

Gfdno Avenue Boundary Lines.
The boundary lines of Grand avenue
along that portion of the street in
question, are negative quantity in
some places, and to establish these
lines is what the property owners
want before gas and water
mains are put in. In some places the
street is 100 feet wide, and beyond,
about sixty-five feet wide. Men have
heen put to work to locate the orig
inal boundaries as near as possible,
and after this is done, the property
owners will reach some kind of an
agreement as to the best ! manner of
permanently establishing the lines. In
some places an encroachment has
been made on the street, and the aim
of the council and property owners is
Ito determine on which side of the
street the Entertainments have been
made. @
Tonight. meeting of the civil ser.
vice commission will be held. The
commissioners, Jesse Baker, James

find relief, | was induced to try
Doan's Kidney Pills. The first few

A striking illustration of the infiu-
ence of the ubiquitous cinematograph
is reported by the United States con-
sulate at Belgrade, Servia. American
fashions have recently become very
popular with the young men of
that city, there is an unprecedent-
ed demand at the local shops for hats,
boots, and other wearing apparel sim
liar to that in vogue In the United
States; and the American style OF
hair cutting has come into favor.
These innovations are Enthusiastically
the result of the exhibition of moving
pictures of American origin. The OBJ
vious moral of all this, as the consul
points out, is that the cinematograph
might be used to great advantage in
advertising all kinds Of American
products. For instance, pictures Of
American agricultural machinery in
operation would probably create a
great demand for the thing itself. This
plan offers an economical substitute
for the actual exhibition Of American
products in commercial museums and
the like.
