UNION MEN AT ODDS.
Formation of Allied Building Trades
 Council Opposed.

Plans for the formation of an Allied Building Trades council among the members of the various union men in this city, are meeting with opposition it is said by the carpenters, who do not look with favor on the plan. The mat ter, which has been under considera- ton for some time. is being further in vestigated by a committee which will report at the coming meeting of the Central Labor Union. It is said that the Masons', Painters and Plumbers unions are in accord with the proposed formation of the allied council.
 One of the leading members of the Central Labor Union, in speaking on the opposition of the carpenters, states that it is with the view of pro- tecting the present agent, James Me Grath, that the stand is taken. The formation of an allied council would mean that an agent would look after all business pertaining to the various crafts, and this would probably mean that McGrath would lose his present berth.

GET YOUR CHECK.
Avoid Trouble When Leaving Parcels
 Ht Stores.

Unless there is a special agreement to the contrary, persons leaving Shoes with cobblers to be repaired, or other articles with somewhat similar trades men, will do well to demand check, or ticket, so that there may be no dispute when the return visit is made. Several times lately indignant people have called at police headquarters to request aid in securing articles that have been left for repairs. They con- tend that no check or tag was given when the articles were left but that one is demanded on the return trip. The visitors have been informed that civil action is necessary to adjust the differences. The articles are gener- ally valued at a mere minimum of what an attorney would change.

a feeler has been put out from
Washington, suggesting that
peace with indemnity to Belgium
and restoring Alsace-Lorraine

in the terms of peace. All Eu-

The Bridge Question

As for years, the need TOR
many more bridges in this coun-
'ty is the same, and the same in
regard to funds with which to
construct them. The county
court met Monday and there
were people from various sec
tions of the county before it
with urgent requests 10 be favor
ed with appropriations for
bridges almost necessary to
travel. but they went away
empty handed and unsatisfied
for the same reason that citizens
all over the county have suffer
led disappointment in similar
cases for years, that is, shortage
of funds. The court has antici-
pated the bridge fund to an ex-
tent which will permit of no new
bridges and leave barely enough
for existing bridges to keep them
in such repair as to make
them at all serviceable or pre-
serve them for another year.
In other words. it is plain at this
time that there will be no avail
able funds for another year with
which to build any new bridges.
The proposition to bond the
county for two or three hundred
thousand dollars and build brid
ges all over the county is the
only one which will ever get the
number Of bridges needed, and
even that sum will not be suffic-
lent for all bridges and culverts
needed constructed in the mod
ern and best way, yet this is no
time to consider bonding for
bridge purposes.
tits a fact that $500, 900 now
will build only about as many
bridges Of the same size and
kind as $125, 600 would have
paid for two years ago. II
would be poor business to bond
1.-The county under such condition
Fer we can afford 70 get along
THE best we can for I year Or
1.-TWO to save such an amount, no
matter how far some Of us have
| to 60 to get around the other
way.
/ The cost Of bridges as well as
| all else containing iron and steel
will depend upon the duration of
the war to a considerable extent.
Spectators will get frightened
some of these days and turn
loose the products or raw mater
|ial they have invested in to pre-
vent being losers by a sudden
ending of war and drop in price
of the kind Of stuff they stuck
away for big profit. Then too,
there is no sort Of excuse for the
big advance in many articles and
raw materials except greediness.
Hundreds Of manufacturers and
|jobbers have advanced prices
tho their stuff has nothing what
ever to do with war supplies.
They have graspingly taken ad-l
vantage Of the general condi-
tion to make unusual profit.
This applies more particularly to
milIers and manufacturers Of
print paper. The more the
federal government investigates
and undertakes to regulate, the
worse the situation appears to
get for consumers. There is
