MINIATURE STRIKE
On this MORNING.
CARPENTERS REFUSE TO WORK

Der OF A RIVAL UNION -

Because the Independent Telephone
do interior wiring on the O'Neil block
the carpenters employed on the build
ing, which is being constructed by
Stewart Wilson, walked out this
morning at 8 o'clock. While it appear
ed that all buildings would be tied up
and especially the O'Neil block for the
entire day, the. telephone company set
tied the matter by withdrawing the
electrician and the men returned to-
work.
The cause of the strike is very com
plicated. There are two factions in
the electrical union one, the Collins
McNulty faction controlling the union
east Of Chicago, and, the other, the
Reed-Murphy faction. west Of Chica-.
go. A man belonging to the eastern
faction is a non-union man west of
Chicago and Is not recognized by the
Federation Of Labor. It appears that
the eastern or Collins McNulty faction
is making a determined effort to de-
feat the Reed-Murphy faction In the
west and the local men suspected that
the. electrician from Chicago was here
In the interests of the rival union.
Inc electrician, however, StOutly
maintained that he was a union man
and a member of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor and stated that the.
reason he had: no card was because he
was behind in his dues. The telephone
company require a special electrician
to do their interior work and until
they are able to get a man satisfactory
to the. local union their work will be
held up. .-.s. 4

are making preparations for a mon
ster benefit which win take place at
the Liberty theater the evening Of
November Is, the proceeds Of which
win be devoted to- the widow Of the
late Manuel Abreu, inspector Of
weights and measures of the police
department, who was fatally wound
ed while in the performance of his
duty =
Mrs. Abreu and her FIVE small chill
,dren are in noticeabiy sad straits,
their only assistance being the $500
which the mother received from the
local fraternity of which her husband
was an active member. But the many
friends of the late officer have come
to her assistance, and it iszexpected
that the performance, which will be
contributed to by the cream of anna
teur talent, will net o goodly sum. a
committee has been appointed to take
charge of the affair, consisting of
Julius Asch .Ir, chief clerk Of the po-
lice department: Edward Fogarty of
the Bank of Hawaii; w. P. sFennell,
liquor license inspector; Joel Cohen

have the seals on sale report that
they are eagerly sought after, for the

People ask the stamp sellers, What
is the meaning of these seals? What
is the purpose of their saIe?'' And
the explanation has been faithfully
interpreted by those engaged in the
campaign. In New York City there
is an organization called the National

purpose is to aid in the prevention of /
tuberculosis throughout the United /
States. Each year, several months !
