BUILDERS MAY
COMPROMISE IN
WAGE MATTERS
Carpenters Requested In
crease Expected to Be Met
at Least In Part

Preparations are being made by the
district council Of the Carpenters and
Joiners' union for conference with
employers of carpenters. The men
will ask for $3.50 for eight hours.
A meeting of carpenters was held
last evening and 1T was unanimously
voted to request the raise. The car
penters now receive 1915 a day in
some cases and 81 in others.
Locals 115 .and 1913 are included
in movement for an increased wage.
Local 1920 is a shop local and no
change will be asked for them.
A meeting will be held Monday
evening at which delegates to the dis
trfct council will be instructed. May
1 has been set as the time limit for
employers to reply.
The move of the carpenters was un-
expected by the contractors and they
haven't had an opportunity to discuss
the matter. However, n meeting of
the Bridgeport Local Assembly Inter-
state Builders, Contractors & Dealers
associations will call a meeting before
the end of this week, it is expected,
and consider the matter
Because of conditions, which makes
good carpenters desirable and hard
to obtain in many instances, it is like
Iy, builders said today, that conces-
sions will be made. An attempt will
be made to compromise with the car
penterS, it is expected.

BEFORE Death
Medical Examiner Garlick
Insists Death Was Due to
Natural Causes.

Discovery, today, of the fact that &c
hours before he was found dead in bed
at his room, in the Hotel Lorraine,
William Edward Peacock drew will
which was signed by three friends as
witnesses, caused his friends to be-
heve that he took his own life.
Medical Examiner Samuel NJ. Gar
lick, who acted and has not yet signed a
certificate of death, still insists, how
ever, that Peacock's death was due to
natural causes. His friends this af-
ternoon inttmated that they might ask
for coroner's inquest.
The will is an unusual document
in the fact that it was written by Mr.
Peacock himself on a single sheet of
paper about 23ax4 inches, a leaf torn
from his note book. The will bears
no date and is a very brief document
as follows:
This is to certify that I, Will
liam Edward Peacock, desire the
following two persons to share
and share alike my estate, my 7
sisters, Mrs. Annie Plant Fair
field, Buxton, Derbyshire, Eng
land; my half-sister by marriage,
Annie Shaw. Refuge Assurance,
Oxford street, Manchester, Eng
land"
The witnesses were Richard Sher-
wood, Harry Mansfield and j. J. Mey-
ers.
They are members of the City club,
as was Peacock. The paper was writ
ten on Saturday night a short time
before Peacock went to the Hotel
Lorraine and engaged a room, He
was found dead in bed there early
Monday morning. His body is now
in CulIinan & Mullins morgue. His
estate consists of $400 in savings
banks here.
Medical Examiner S. NJ. Garlick
said today that he believed Peacock
died of heart disease to which his
friends say he had been subjected for
some time past. 1t is said that on
Saturday he told some of his friends
he did not expect to live much
longer. Attaches at the Hotel Lor-
raine today denied that Peacock had
committed suicide. He was found
lying half out of his bed.
Judge Miller will name an admin
tstrator of the estate, as the will fails
to, name an executor. The adninis-
traitor will arrange for the burial
