to hear supporters and opponents of
the proposed building trades joint
agreement present their cases.
Gompers and Williams will then be
in a position to decide whether the
national body shall take a definite
stand on the issue, order a deeper in
vestigation or leave the whole mat
ter to be scrapped out in Chicago's
own back lot. 1t is also possible that
action looking toward a recOncilia-
ton of the warning factions may be
started.
It will be the first time the O'Don-
neIlists and anti-O'DonneIlists have
gotten together since the fathers,
sheet metal workers and machinists
were kicked out of the Building
Trades Council because they would
not guIp down the things O'Donnen
said they should swallow.
The ants now include not only the
three unions kicked out of the coun-
Gil, but also the electricians, GLACIERS
and painters, who have each practi-
caIly dared the Building Trades
Council to throw them out.
The anti-O'DOnneIIsts have clear
ly indicated their position. They de-
mand a reputation of the proposed
Joint agreement or elimination of its
injurious clauses. The banishe0
unions will not oppose any move to
bring the two factions together, but
will say that their return to the coun-
Gil must be preceded by Simon O'Don-
neITs retirement as it's controlling
power.
Gompers telegraphed this morning
that he was on his way and would
arrive in a few hours.

on three big fat buildings because the
contractors were employing nom
union fathers.
They quit work on jobs at Wilson
and Kenmore avs, Clarendon av. and
Irving Park blvd. and I'D and Coles.
Their quitting is in open defiance
with the desire of the Building Trades
Council. Their act is construed by
many as being an invitation for the
Building Trades Council to eXpel
them. The offense against the cOun-
Gil is greater than those for which
the fathers, machinists and sheet
metal workers were expelled.
The action of these unions in de-
claring a sympathetic strike is not
surprising, for they have not con-
cealed where they stood In regard to
the Outlawed and now locked-oUt
fathers.
By unanimous vote the electricians
recently voted 10 support the lath-
ers to the finish in any fight against
unfair contractors. In days not so
far gone by a union which would
have helped the blackballed. fathers
would have gotten kicked out of the
Building Trades Council. In those
days Simon O'Donnen had the coun-
Gil in thorough grip, but O'Donnel's
grip is not what it used to be.

BANKER KILLS WIFE AND SELF
New York, March 23.-Shrouded in
mystery today was the motive for the
murder by Howard BoOcock, 80,
treasurer of the AstOr Trust Co., of
his young wife, and his suicide in
their sumptuous home on E. 74th st.
Police were unable to unearth any
motive other than dependency of
the wealthy young banker. His finan-
ciaI affairs were said to be in good
shape. Two children are left orphans.

Sensible Talk.

The following from Capper's
Weekly, republican organ, is
commended for its good sense:
"Tne American people have
kept tbeir heads and will contin-
ue to do so. confident that reli-
ance is we'll placed in the man at
Washington whose firm hand is
on the helm, and that the digni-
ty ard honor as we'll as the legal
rights of the nation will be well
protected in his hands.
There are onther measuresea-
vailable to the government and
probably uncer present circum-
stances more effectual than war.
'The greatest dc sire of this
tion is to remain at peace with
the world, and if war comes it
is safe to predict that it will not
be declared first from Washing
ton"

Avoid alliances

The sentiment expressed by
Congressman Keatipg In the fol
lowing associated press dispatch
we believe to be in line with
American sentiment generally,
and shows his observation-disclosures.
Congressman Edward Keating
yesterday received ,-!egram
from the New York American
asking his opinion on the forma-
ton Of an alliance between the
United States, the South Amer
lean countries and Central Amer
ican states togethe- with all the
other neutral countries for the
purpose Of protecting neutral
rights.
SIN answer to the quer. Keat-
ing sent the following telegram
last night:
THE people of the west want
peace. They have no desire
to become involved in the
European war. They look to
President Wilson and his advis-
ors to keep us out of trouble.
This is a good time to avoid en-
tangling alliances and to attend
strictly to our business.

modesty, because they had it
last year, Two Buttes wanted to
turn it over to Stoningtop. What

but it seems there is nothing do
ing. Under the circumstances
all there seems to be left is a
grand old picnic jollification on

outlay, and as good time can he

appearance of q ten
dollar celebration.

"Petty Politics.

IN. ". Jones III llS idSI week
Sentinel takes righteous excep.
tion to the Herald's presentation
of the political doings of the re.
publicans in this state since their
elevation to power last fall, dub
bing the sam as "petty politics. u
In the first place the Sentinel
man builds his contention on an
erroneous comprehension of the
facts as to, the makeup of the
last general assembly. Jones
seems to have gotten the impress
sion that the upper house of the
assembly was democratic,
whereas with the president of
the senate the republicans had q
clean working majority of
two; and this majority was I'M
der their control except in the
single instance of the Industrial
Relations bill, which was too
rank for one of their number.
With these facts before him,
the Sentinel man will have tc
go off another leg as to why the
republican, nothing legislature
did nothing up at Denver for 80
days last winter except to chew
tobacco and expectorate over the
walls of the capitol building.
Jones well knows the howl
that wen. up over tho whole
state by the republican press,
taking their clue from Re-
publican state headquarters,
at the acts OF the state tax COM
mission and the uselessness of
it's existence, the Sentinel during
the time out of sympathy joining
in the I,owling chorus.
The republican howl over the
tax commission began at the
time of its creation, and the din
was kept up uninterruptedly
until the election last fall, the
campaign proceeding which be-
ing made by them on the promis
es of doing away with the COM
mission, as already stated.
And then what? Then they
laughed up their sleeves at the
way they had hoodwinked the
voter, and went to Denver an6
spat over the walls of the c;tpito
for 80 days as aforesaid; and the
commission is still grinding at the
old stand, and promises to give
Baca county another horizonta
raise in case the assessor has
MT got valuations as to it's liking
In closing the Sentinel says
I'VE would like to ask the Her
aid man whether it is any worse
for legislature to chew tobacco
than for public school teacher.
Here's where we get one OF
Jones-providing he refers t.
the Herald editor as the nubli'
school teach T.. We do not US,
the weed in any manner, shape
or form; but probably Jones uset
the term teacher" in genera
way, and could have used preach
