change yesterday, with view to

"l have no authority to speak for
the exchange" SAID Mr. Gould.
Whenever those men want to so
back TO work, they are welcome to
come to work. We have not fired
them"
But YOU must recognize that the
wage problem is big. issue pro-
tested President Reynolds
Yes, il seems TO be quite an is
sue" replied Mr.. Gould, 'and the
contractor IS made the goat. We
bid on a job and get the contract on
a basis Of so much cost, and then the
men jump out in the middle of 1t
and demand an increase in wages. 1t
would make difference 90 me OF
about $4,000; that's how much of an
issue il is,
Suggests a Conference.
Mr. Norman suggested that a con-
ference be arranged Gould declared
he had no authority to arrange a
conference for the builders, and that
the builders were not seeking a con-
ference.
Suppose the laborers waive for
the time being the question OF rec
ognition Of the union" suggested
Normal Cant a conference be ar
ranged TO consider the wage scale
without regard TO the recognitionl"
But Gould held that he saw no oe-
casion for a conference and that the
men are welcome to go back to work
any time they are ready
The Central Labor union repre-
sentatives offered TO- make arrange
ments 10 have the contractors treat
with them instead of directly with
the building laborcrs, but Gould
would make no arrangements with
them.
The two labor representatives left
without having reached any conelu-
sion.
The informal meeting occurred in
the rooms of the Omaha Builders
exchange.

AT THE DAVIS THEATRE. Vaudeville and Moving Pictures.

The usual large sized houses crowd ed the Davis theatre on Monday aft ernoon and evening when a vaudeville and moving picture bill of the highest quality opened the first half of the week. The Meyakos who present an Oriental singing and dancing act hold the headline position on the program They have their own set of scentry and their act met with decided favor in the eyes of the audience. The second act of merit is that presented by Merles Cockatoos, clever performing birds, who succeed in amusing not only the kidlets, but the older people also. The Four Wanderers have the third act on the bill. Their skit overf1ows with mirth, music and melody and like the two other acts they secured a more than generous sized share of applause
 Somewhere In France, is the name of the big Triangle photo play which is a military drama based on the work of Richard Harding Davis. Louise Glaum and Howard Hickman appear in the leading roles of the story which centers about the German and French secret service systems. There is the usual two reel Keystone comedy to complete the bill.

On Thursday evening the third in the citizens course of free lectures in the auditorium of the Vocational High school at New London will be given by Prof. Louis A. Coerne, de- partment of music at Connecticut col lege whose topic will be Wagner's Parsifal.
 Wagners last and greatest music drama merits consideration from other than the operatic standpoint.

Its de- nouncement symbolizes the triumph of Christianity over Paganism. The mu- sical illustra tions are given by the lec- turer at the piano, and by typical se- lectiops reproduced on the victrola- The visual illustrations consist of collection of lantern slides, giving both aIlegorical conceptions of characters and scenes and views of actual stage presentations.
