we would have at this time in other
years." said Albert Alex of the
locked-out fathers.
Tonight the Carpenters District
Council will decide whether or not it
shall authorize referendum vote on
the offer of the contractors. The de-
cision will undoubtedly be in the af-
frmative. The contractors offer to
let the men work 10 months with no
increase in pay. They will then grant
a 21a cent increase. Under this ar
rangement the carpenters would in
three years be getting 51a cents an
hour less than they asked and 212
cents less than they are now getting
from fair contractors.

UNFAIR BOSSES TO HAVE HARD
TIME STARVING OUT"

TIME STARVING OUT"
Fifty-seven per cent of the union
carpenters who went on strike are
back to work with fair contractors;
SO per cent of the striking painters
are working; only SO hardwood fin
ishers in Chicago were idle yester-
day.
With so many men working reg
ularly the unfair employers will have
hard time starving out" these
striking Unions. If the carpenters re-
ject the compromise offer of the Car
pente Contractor assn and it comes
to fight to the finish the unions are
perhaps better fired for long battle
than the contractors. Every union
has an enormous war fund" and
with so many men working the re-
turn from the strike assessment is
enormous. In fact, things line up so
well that the original plan to make
the strike assessment 20 cents an
hour was abandoned and the assess
ment is but 10 cents an hour.
The strikers and those locked out
are not losing much money. The.
contractors are. The contractors
have their money tied up in expen-
sive offices, equipment and high-sal-
AIRED men and these expenses are
nearly as much when the firms are
idle as when they are working.
The union men who are working
are getting the wage they want under
the conditions they desire. The H.
700 carpenters who are working are
getting 70 cents an hour and the
agreement under which they are en-
ployed is minus all of the obnoxious
clauses of the Simon O'Donnen uni
form agreement.
1--WE have more men working than
at any time in years." said Secretary
Lindeloff of Painters District Coun-

ITALIAN KING MAKES MOVE TO
HEAD OFF CIVIL WAR

Rome.-To head off possible civil
war, King Victor Emanuel signed de-
cree convoking chamber of deputies
early next week.
King acted on advice of leaders Of
both warning interventionist and
neutral factions. Serious rioting by
mobs favoring war broke out afresh
yesterday and the king was told the
situation was rapidly getting beyond
control of military.
For second time with "a hours mob
of interventionists invaded parlia-

and wrecking furniture. From the
parliament building the mob again at

Two cavalry squadrons guarding
the approaches rushed the crowd re-

eral persons were injured.
An angry crowd attacked the mo-

The mob pressed in about the imou-
sine shouting: Death to the Ger
mans! To the frontier with the bar
barians!" Erzberger escaped by
speeding through the crowd. e.

few evenings ago on the way to
Roebuck Springs 1 witnessed a per-
fectly good street car which had got
tired and jumped the track-caused by
nerve strain, exhaused wires, or some
thing of that sort which brought it to
a dead halt. The car was filled with an
unhappy multitude of steaming, suffer-
ing riders who sat in apathetic silence,
until the overworked motor power
picked itself up again. 1t may have been
in time, but 1t seemed an enternity.
The only thing really to do during
the long hot summer days and nights
is to-dream! Dream of~being cave
dweller under the earth and raising
mushrooms for a livelihood. There are
such happy mortals you know. Think
of the GOODNESS of such a habitation-a
cave with stream running through it
and eyeless fish gliding softly about
coaxing to be caught.
Or
Dream you are a thermos bottle filled
with an fnexhaustible supply of ice
cold lemonade. That would be lovely!
If you are dramatic you might dream
you are participating in some wreck
like the Titanic, with a comfortable en-
vironment of ice bergs
Should your taste incline to adven-
ture, you might imagine yourself a
modern Tartarin ascending, the Alpe
under blizzard conditions
Better still, you might mingle joy and
good works and vision yourself as a
great inventor, a philanthropist
in disguise, who conceives the heaven
sent thought of inventing an India rub
Der combination bathtub- bed, in which,
moored to a stake. you might float like
houseboat on the Thames, by night,
in which you might take your morning
plunge at sun-up.
