MADISON SQUARE GARDEN,
N ". Dec. 11.--At 2:55 p. m. Keefe,
of the team of Kopsky and keefe,
suddenly shot out from behind the
bunch and before he could be over
taken he had gained lap on the
field Fogler was in front at the time
and made no effort to catch the fly
ing Australian.
At 3:05 the Keefe- Kopsky team
gained two laps more, no effort being
made by the other weary grinders
to stop them.
Much TO the surprise of their follow
ers. the Clark -Grenda combination is
still a lap in the rear of the leaders
Crenda seems willing enough to go out
after his teams lost ground, but
Clark is off form, and has not made
his pickups in his usual alert manner
The men have been far ahead of the
old records for the past twenty-four
hours. and the fast, steady pace has
caused many of the trailing teams to
weaken perceptibly.
At II o'clock this morning the men
were twenty miles and four laps ahead
of the old record. The Keefe-Kopsky
team, nlcknamed the pests because
of their proclivity for starting sprints
were six miles behind the leaders. The
relative positions of the others was
practically unchanged.

would be that of the poll of the des-

BUILDING TRADES TIED UP BY UNION
DISAGREEMENT: CARPENTERS EXPELLED

to abide by any fair decision. On the
other hand, there Is an active minor
ity in the ranks of the expelled union
to continue the fight. Since the car
penters are the largest organized
body in the assembly they represent
a serious factor in settling the dis
pute.
The disagreement started when w
A. Lynch was asked to stay off the
roundhouse job because he did not
observe union rules In hours and
wages. This was refused and the job
was posted as unfair. The carpenters
however, refused to call their men off
the job and the nine men are still
working.
An arbitration proposition was sub
mitted yesterday which provided for
suspension of all union laws pend
ing a settlement This. however, was
not generally agreed to and will prob
ably leave the whole matter up in
the air until the carpenters effect
some agreement with the assembly.
Yesterday afternoon the commits
sion as business agent of the assem-
/ bly, was taken from w. P. Geary OF
the lathers and is now In the hands OF
I Organizer Ounce Hutton of the Am
erican Federation. An appointment
will be made some time during the

The Delta County board of COM

The most serious labor disagree
ment in the history of Grand juno
ton unionism will probably be settled
Tuesday night when the members of
Carpenters union No. 244 will hold
a special meeting to discuss the ex-
pulsion of their delegates from the
Trades and Labor Assembly and the
subsequent tie-up of all building op-
Grafton in the city.
Last Friday night, after number
of speeches scoring the carpenters
for not calling their men off the
roundhouse job, which had been de-
clared unfair a vote was taken
which declared the seats of the car
penter's delegates vacant. This ac-
ton, under union law, makes every
carpenter unfair and prevents oth-
er union men from working with
them.
Yesterday morning the carpenters
held a special meeting and decided to
issue a membership call in order te
secure a full attendance at meet
ing tomorrow night. Definite action
it is anticipated, will be taken at tha'
time.

Charged With Stealing
From H. H. Tyler.

Sheriff Schrader this morning re-

horse stealing in an information in

Mancos to bring Steel to this city.
Steel, with his brother, VIII Steel.
were charged with cattle stealing last
fall, but the latter was acquitted and
the information against Adam was
quashed. Tyler was boudsman for
both men at that time.
The Steels have many friends in
this county who will probably aid
them in their fight for liberty. The
sheriff's office declares, however.
