feet that its members would not grant
the requests OF various crafts for In
creases OF wages. The resolution also
says that after May the wage scales

ed by the excha nge yesterday, fol!oWs.
SIX OF the building trades unions
have made demands upon the master
builders for an increase In wages
and after due and careful CONSIDER
alton OF these demands the master
builders are convinced that condt-
lions do not mt any increase, for
wages arc as high now IN Sa!t / axe
City as In most cities Of the ''nltod
states; therefore we consider the
unions dema nds unreasonable and,

Resolved That Il be the sense of
this association that II would be best
for all concerned. public comrac-
tors and mechanics. that no advance
in wages be granted this year. and

the same wages as was paid In 1872.

MAY BUILD HOTEL
At HOT SPRINGS
Spokane Man Also Contem-
plates Sanitarium; Tells
Realty Dealer.

There is every probability that
James f. Breen Of Spokane, Wash .,
will begin work during the coming
summer on a s125,OO0 hotel and santa
rum at Beck's Hot Springs. Mr,
Brcon, who is the owner of the Spo-
kane hotel and one Of the wealthiest
men of that city, left Salt Lake for
his home town yesterday, after spend
ing two days at the Alta club here.
Mr.. Breen is sole owner Of the hot
springs property, which for many
years prior to the destruction of the
buildings by fire. was one OF the most
popular resorts in Utah. The springs
we're originally owned by John Beck.
from whom they took their name, but
Mr.. Beck was forced to relinquish own
ership when financial reverses over
took him some years ago.
During his stay in the city, Mr..
Breen was approached by a prominent
real estate man, who. asked him if he
would consider the matter Of making
stock company out Of the springs
property and letting a number of Salt
Lakers in. Mr.. Breen replied that he
had abundant means Of his own with
which to improve the property, and
said that he preferred to retain com
pIete ownership. He also said that he
expected to improve the property at
an early date, and that it was his pur-
pose TO make il one of the most attrac-
tive in the country While Mr.. Breen
did not fix a definite figure, he sug.
gested that he expected to spend al
least S125,0o0 on the property,
It is everywhere conceded that the
medicinal properties Of Beck's Hot
Springs cannot be eycelled in the
United States, and il MI Broen carries
out his plans, the resort will soon have
reputation throughout the entire
country that will mean much to Mr.
Breen personally, as we'll as to Salt
Lake City.
That Mr., Breen will carry his plans
into effect ut an early date there is
little room for doubt. 1t is known
that he has refused to part with the
springs property at handsome al
vance over the figure at which he pur
chased it, and it also is we'll known
that he considers Salt Lake one of the
coming big cities of the west.
Prominent Salt Lakers with whom
Mr.. Brecn conferred while in the city
believe that he will make a definite
announcement of his plans within the
next thirty days.

Get Busy, Nigguh."

Probably Cobb s most famous stor'
goes something like this:
A negro was about TO be executed
in the presence OF II large crowd. i'm
cluding the widow OF the black man
whom he murdered. She Waa extreme
ly corpulent- II WAS a hot day and
she sat on 4 bench. facing the scaffold
and tanning herself vigorously with
turkey wing. Before the moose was
placed about the doomed mans neck
the sheriff asked him il he had any
thing 10 say. The dark entered
upon a long prayer OF forgiveness.
The widow famed herself mpa-
uently.
Hurry up. Jim" commanded the
sheriff, 81 can't wal, here all day: I'm
hungry: | want 70 20 cat
well" said Jim. de Lawd has
forgiven me an now An wants 90 az
dat lady II she'll forgive me Lady.
win you forgive me To- shootin yo'
husban?'
The widows turkey wing was
poised for an instant In nidair. while
an expression OF utter disgust crept
into her dusl5y face. Then she said
weariiy;
Go on, dcre. nigguh. git hung. git
