BUILDERS CHANGE
REFUSES DEMANDS
Approves Refusal of Committee to
Grant Increase Asked by
Striking Bricklayers.
SOME ARE PAID HIGHER WAGE

The Builders exchange has ap-
proved the stand taken by its strike
committee last Thursday when the
committee decided not to pay the ad-
vance asked for the striking brick
layers.
The meeting of the general body
was held late yesterday and this
Endorsement of the committees
stand was made.
The statement the committee issued
Thursday, the day after the strike was
called, which statement is now approved
by the general body of the exchange, is
as follows:
THE contractors cannot pay the in
creased wage demanded by the brick
layers because all the Jobs now being
carried on were figured by them on a
basis of 70 cents an hour and to work
let to them upon that basis. II Is I'M
just and unfair to them for the brick
masons to attempt to raise the wages
on Jobs already contracted for by the
contractors"

HARD ON HUMAN TARGET
Patron Who Should Have Thrown
Baseball Uses Ivory One

The next time Phillip Ruecup, Of 1927
South 18th street hires himself out as a
human target he will see that the marks
men are not allowed to use billiard balls.
He was engaged last night by the pro-
moters of carnival at 18th and Cath
arine streets to blacken his face and
stick his head through hole in n piece
of canvas so that patrons could throw
at him with baseballs.
Every pitcher who hit the target three
times received three cigars. The man
who was running the target attracted
attention by pounding a billiard ball on a
table. One absent-minded patron took
the billiard ball from his hand and threw
II at the target. The ball struck the
wire mask which Ruecup wore and
knocked him unconscious. He was taken
to ST. Agnes Hospital. where his cut face
was treated.
