of Building Operations Hinted
at Unless Labor Difficulties
Are Settled Soon.

A complete tie-up Of building OPP
erations here is limited at, as result
of certain labor conditions, especially
prevailing with the carpenters and
bricklayers over the matter of union
labor. An alliance offensive and
defensive between the union carpen-
tiers and union bricklayers is said to
be forming looking to refusal on
the part of members OF both organ
izations to work on buildings where
non-union carpeZters and bricklay-
ers are employed.
There are about $50 carpenters. at
work in the city. sixty of whom are
said to be union men, and non-union
carpenters are now employed on an
estimated three-fourths part of the
work now in progress, and there will
be serious handicap should the diff
Guilty reach definite action.
It is stated that there are many
carpenters here who would gladly
join the union II the fees and dues
were reduced SO as to be within their
reach.
AS building operations are in good
shape and there is prospect for much
development along this line. 1t is
hoped for the wothare Of the COM
munity that the matter may be
amicably adjusted before It APP
proaches the danger line Of tie-up.

In response. to this s. o. S. many
big city brothers responded and Mr..
Littlepage had the fullest and fairest
opportunity to try out his theory that
q candidate for Congress can win votes
In exchange for government seeds and
literature, when he has no other mer-
its to offer. It was good test of the
proposition, and 1t would not stand.
The voters Just would not stand for 1t.
at all. And Mr.. Mttlepage was one OF
the few accidents" Of 1910, who was
not able to ride in with the still larger
number Of accidents" who rode the
waves all hunkydory in 1912.
In the light OF that experience It is
not believed that Adam will repeat his
plan of campaign. He could not get
the seed nor the "hoss" books this
year, but II he could 1t is doubtful II
he would make use Of them to any
great extent. One experience Of this
kind was doubtless enough to con-
vince him that votes in bulk in the
Third district are not for sale, and are
pretty honest and independent votes
after all. Also, "the concerted action
state, which may have been true July
10, 1911, no longer exists, and to de-
pend on that sentiment helping him
Mr.. Littlepage knows would be leaning
on broken reed. There is no great
satisfaction among the Democrats Of
the Third nor Of West Virginia over
the concerted action OF the Democrats
in (this) Congress. 1t is just the
, reverse. There is the greatest dis
satisfaction because Of the CONCERTED
action" OF the present Congress, which
disgruntlement is by no means felt
by members Of that party solely. Nine
ty per cent Of all the voters feel that
way about it. They are sore.
Therefore, the wonder here Is what
lines of campaign Adam B. has laid
out for himself. He might again cir
culate that undelivered speech Of his,
which he so literally punctuated with
great applause" or again distribute
his glowing biography of himself in
which he modestly told of himself that
he was "a patriotic man Of ability. and
fine qualities of mind and heart. /" That
might help some.
Washington breathlessly waits for
him to begin.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July III
II Adam Littlepage, the congressional
candidate in the Third district, has
written to the national administration,
the national Democratic congressional
committee, or the individual senator's
and representatives Of his party, an
urgent request to send him garden
seed, "hoss" books and government
bulletins to use In his second cam
paign against Congressman Avis, that
fact has not been disclosed to date.
II he has not done this, the question
among the politicians here is: What
kind Of an appeal is Adam going to
make this time? What means and
methods has he in mind to employ in
his campaign this year?
Two years ago he held firm 10 the
belief that his own winning card was
to swap government publications for
votes, and he shattered the district
with bulletins on every conceivable
subject ranging from the extirpation
OF the San Jose scale to the preven-
ton OF hog cholera. But the result
OF the balloting showed that It was all
Of no avail. A majority Of the voters
in the Third district set a higher value
Of government publications generally
and garden seeds particularly, yet
they could not see that the exchange
was either fair or moral, and they re-
scented the imputation that their votes
could be so cheaply Influenced, or
influenced at all, by package Of free
seed or volume dealing with the
treatment of the diseases Of the horse.
1t was sore disappointment to Mr..
Lttlepage that his system of vote
getting did not work out successfully.
He had pinned very large, deep and
abiding faith in Its efficacy. In now
famous letter of July 10, 1911, while
yet enjoying membership, withsa good
~ number Of other accidents" that
were swept into the House OF Repre-
sentatives on the tidal wave of 1910,
he justified the faith that was his how
the Third district electorate could be
induced to return him. The letter
was addressed to fellow members of

served a copy:
