CREAMER
BARRED OUT
BY UNION
Candidate for Building In
SpeCtOr Couldn't Join
BriCklayerS' Organ
izatiOn
CLAIMS He NOW Is NOT
WORKING At TaE TRADE

It was learned today that the mem
bers of the Brlcklayers' and Masons'
Union, No. 1. at their meeting last
night rejected an application for mem-
bership received from Harold S.
Creamer, OF the Twelfth ward. who is
a candidate for the Office of building
inspector, to succeed John J. Cassidy,
Democrat, whose term expired amonth
ago. The application accompanied by
the usual initiation fee, was handed
in by a member of the union. but 1t
was refused. The union has been
fighting Mr. Creamers candidacy on
the ground that ne was a non-union
workman.
A discussion followed the reading
Of the propositions during which 1t
was charged that Mr. Creamer had
worked outside the union for six years
and that he was not now working at
the trade Of bricklaying, having quit
last Saturday. and further that his ap-
plication for membership in the Union
was a subterfuge to clear his path eor
the building inspectorship
The decision was reached. II was
said today, not to consider Mr.. Cream
er's application until he was working
at bricklaying, In order to accom-
plish this, It is said he will have ia
apply for work at a union operation
and pay the initiation fee right there
Friends Of Mr., Creamer contend
that he went far enough when he
made application for membership in
the Union and that there was moth
ing further for him to do. They say
that II the Bricklayers' Union con-
tinues to fight his candidacy, Council
should give the objection no further
attention.
It is probable that the Republican
members of Council, following the
organization Of that body tonight
will caucus to make nominations for
the Offices of building inspector and
milk inspector which hold over from
the last Council. and which will have
to be voted on Thursday night Re
naming Offices within the gift OF
Council do no. have to be filled until
the third Thursday night in this
month. and the caucus on them may

PADS AND FASHIONS

Most hats have a soft vague look, and some decided outstanding finish, which makes them chic.
 The youthful high waist line women are 1oath to forego, and it has been re- tained by many designers.
 The a1I-tulle hat of black is quite the thing, the transparent crown leaving the coiffure plainly to be seen.
 Ratines are being worn more than ever, and women are actually plan ing suits of ratine for the fall.
 Very popular is the normal waist line, with the broad sash, which sug- gests the upper line of a. high attach ment.
 To outline the natural lines of the head, special attention is paid to ban deaux. They are jeweIed and barbaric.
 The vets effect must be a feature of the new neckwear It has been ac- cepted by fashion as a touch worth while.
 For the somewhat stout figure a fashionable and becoming trimming is the long line of little bows from waist to hem.

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR SEE WONDERS OF
 PACIFIC COAST
Bridgeport Tourists Visit Los Angeles, Santa Barbara And Other Western Beauty
 Spots

The wonders and delightst of the Pa cif1c coast must have appealed with especial force to the Hamilton Com mandery tourists of this city and vii cinity who are now traversing the western country. The beautiful en- vironments of Los Angeles and of Santa Barbara have been glowingly described in letters from the tourists to the stay-at-homes. The Knights and their ladies have been royalty entertained by their fraternal asso- ciates in the west.
 One of the features of the Los An geles stop, last week, was an automo- bile tour of 60 miles through the out skirts of the city. Several of the par ty had opportunity to renew acquaint- ances, with John P. Dunn, formerly of Bridgeport who has been a resi- dent of Los Angeles for several years. The auto tour of the Los Angeles visit also gave the Bridgeporters their frs [ breath of salt air since leaving the At lantic coast and gave them an oppor- tunity to compare the road building methods of the various states. They decided that Ca1ifornia's roads were far ahead of those of Connecticut From Los Angeles the tourists went to Santa Barbara.
 The life of the Bridgeport party is A. s. Wells, the venerable knight whose inexhaustibIe good humor has proven contagious.
