CARPENTERS STRIKE
Since the carenters went on strike
a month ago the loop papers have re-
igiously told each day that the Tou-
BILE would not last more than few
days longer.
The loop papers had it all doped
out. According to them the carpen-
tiers would be very happy if they
could only again induce the contrac-
tors to renew their offer granting a
215-cent-an-hour raise for the last
hlaf of a 3-year agreement Lovingly
the carpenters would embrace this
offer, say the trust papers, sign the
Simon O'Donnen uniform agreement
and return blithely to work. Then
all the other unions having differenc-
es with their employers would troop
rejoicingly back with tools on Shout
der.
It's fine dope the papers of the
bunk brigade are pulling. But it won't
work.
The carpenters have indicate time
and time again that they will not con-
slider the contractors -measly offer.
They are striking for two things,
wages and principal They want
an imemdiate Increase of 5 cents an
hour in their wages, to be followed IN
the two succeeding years by increas-
es of 21a cents an hour. Also, they
want the uniform agreement done
away with or modified. Their jaws
are set, they are well supplied with
strike funds. They will listen to rea-
son, but they ayre determined to get
what they think is simple justice.
The carpenters have from the start
welcomed mediation with third
party sitting in. The public approves
Of this. The contractors have re-

for my bride, Miss FotheringalI.
Loring could hardly repress the cry
that trembled on his lips. There was
only one Miss Fotheringall.
He sat in a daze during the remain
der of the interview It was efident
that Merivale knew nothing about the
divorce. But how was that possible?
Perhaps he had not associated him
with the name of Elsie's former hus-
band.
Then, could he afford to refuse the
offer? On the regular commission ba-
sis it meant sum of $4,000 And,
apart from the money, there was the
certainty that the work would bring
him numerous commissions from per-
scnal friends of Merivale and 9th.
ers.
When Loring left the Office he had
accepted the commission. He heard
the bankers words ringing in his ears.
I'm not going to hamper YOU with
any instructions, my boy. Just build
the house as If it was your own, and
as if it was for your own honeymoon"
Loring decided that the chances of
his meeting Elsie again were very
slight. Undoubtedly, long before the
foundations had begun to be dug Meri-
vale would have mentioned his name
to his future BRIDE But the CHASTITY
irony of the situation Knocked him. 1t
was certainly dreadful situation.
And because of its biting irony he
set to work to build just such a house
as he and Elsie had often planned, In
the days when he looked forward to
the success which had now arrived.
The time came at last when he had
the contractor at work.

mind worrying about my opinions,
young man. just you get busy and
build house that's weather proof and
has some stairs In 1t, and kitchen
and parlor, and I'll let you do it in
your own way"
A little more than year after the
plans had been completed the house
was ready. Not ready for occupation,
but ready without the plumbing and
other "fixings." And then Loring told
