Asserting that their demands are no
more than just. that granting their re-
quests TO add another iron worker to
each derrick will not mean the laying
on of any stone layers, and that they
are not asking for anything more than
is customary on jobs handled by union
ironworkers, the executive committee
of local No. 81 Bridge and Steel Iron
workers nnion yesterday gave out d
statement following d conference held
at the labor temple in regard TO the
strike at the state capitol.
The statement says that seven iron
workers and one engineer went on a
strike at the state house because the
b-contractor, John Macbeth, insisted
on the stone derricks being operated by
one ironworker and one stone layer, in
stead of by at least two ironworkers, as
is customary. They asked that two
ironworkers be placed on each derrick
and one ironworker foreman in charge
OF all the derricks. When this demand
was refused they walked out

Established Credit.

A check for $1,000 deposited by Keil with
the Merchants bank Friday afternoon
proved to be valueless. 1t was drawn
upon the Citizens bank of Portland
When he made the deposit Keil asked
that telegram be sent by the cashier
OF the local bank TO ascertain IL the check
WAS good, His request was carried out
with negative result. IT Is believed that
keil wished to use the deposit to estab-
liSh his credit In cashing the checks with
the various merchants, but hat he did
not wish TO run the risk of having the
bank cash any OF his bogus checks, and.
therefore, insisted that the telegram OF
inquiry be sent. The answer to the effect
that neither ketl nor any such company
as he posed as representative OF had
any account with the Portland bank
came Saturday morning. In time TO pre-
