representa- tive's decision.
They insisted that while they were
willing to pay the $3.50 wage scale
awarded, there were other sections in
the agreement which they would not
accept.
The strike was called only after
every effort had been made by the
Builrding Trades Section to induce to
the contractors to listen to reason.
After the strike had been on several
weeks the Hold Carriers, unwilling to
see the other crafts idle on their ac-
count, finally succeeded in having the
Brick Contractors specify just which
sections in the agreement they 6ppos-
ed. Then the Hold Carriers. though
awarded these things by the Board of
Arbitration, struck them out, in the
interests of harmony.
AND EVEN THEN THE BRICK
CONTRACTORS REFUSED TO SIGN
THEIR OWN AGREEMENT.
And thus the matter stands. The
position Of the Contractors is so
plainly unfair that every citizen of
Wheeling must in justice side with the
Hold Carriers and the other building
tradesmen who are supporting them.

for work already. The interest they
are showing is proof positive that this
will be the greatest show on earth-as
Barnum used to say.
The amusements have not as yet
been listed, but it is the intention to
have a greater number and more
striking numbers than ever before. It
is certain, that there will be something.

and evening at the Fair Grounds, and

Street Parade.
And a record street parade is ex-
pected, too. AS mentioned before in
these columns, the matter of a street
parade was referred to the locals, and
the locals SO far reporting have all
voted in favor of street demonstra-
ton. 1t is probable that five thousand
men will be in line By a rule of the
Assembly the president is chief mar
sha,, and SO this honor will again fall
to Leo j. LaFlam, who will head the
procession. He will not announce his
aides until shortly before the parade.

pathetic picture Of the lot of the In

The situation north is absolutely
clear. The prisoners were told to apol-
ogize to Mai. Mclaughlin and their
agent, and have done this. They have
been laughing and telling stories all the
way down. Our parting was most pa

report to the judge. They declared that
they would have died before surrender
