IL and patiently weighed. with the
evidently sincere desire on the
part OF both lumber operators and
employees to terminate the present
difficulty.
Amongst these was proposal
OF the representative OF labor for
an eighthour day at eight hours
pay. the men to return to work at
once. The men asserted that
trial Of an eight.hour day would
demonstrate In a reasonably short
period that labor could show as
much efficiency in workday OF
eight hours as In one OF ten. The
employers met this with the state
ment that they were satisfied that
labor. preferring the larger pay
check. would not return on these
terms and reopen the industry.
Plans Suggested
Two suggestions which seemed
10 offer the greatest promise OF IN.
vorable results were then given
prolonged consideration. The first
OF these proposed that the men re
turn TO work Mt once on the condi-
tions existing prior to the strike.
and that on January /. 1918. vote
OF the employees be taken under the
auspices Of the state council of de.
Tense to determine whether after
that date an eight-hour day at an
eieht.hour pay OF ton-hour day at
ten.hour pay should prevail In
the industry. Included In the pro
posal was a pledge OF cooperative
effort TO universaiize the eight.
hour day In the lumber industry OF
the United States.
1.-THE committee OF lumber oper.
ators was willing to accept this
proposal, but the committee repre-
senting the employees was unwilling
TO recommend the consideration OF
the same to the Joint council OF the
two labor unions involved.
Employers Refuse Last Plan
THE other OF these proposals
was that the men return To work
at once on a nine-hour basis with
ten hours pay. and that on April
next the industry go on an eight.
hour basis with ten-hour pay. This
proposal also included pledge OF
cooperative effort TO universalize
the eight-hour day in the lumber
industry OF the United States.
THE committee OF employees in
dicated It's willingness to present
this proposal to their authoritative
Joint council for action. but the
committee OF lumber operators
would not accept the proposal.

passengers, on one occasion having
successfully looped the loop But

ARMS FOR HOME GUARDS

Some citizens of St. Petersburg,
even some of the members of the
County guard themselves have ex-
pressed doubt that the guard organ
lied here will be supplied with arms
and ammunition.
Under legislation which has just
passed congress, home guards that
are organized in Pinellas county dur
ing the present war will be entitled to
receive rifles and other equipment
from the United States government.
The bill, as finally agreed to in con-
ference and approved by both houses
provides:
THAT the secretary Of war, during
the existing emergency, is authorized
in his discretion to issue from time to
time to the several states and terri
tories for the equipment of such home
guirds having the character of state
police or constabulory, or such other
home guards as may be organized un-
der the discretion of the governors of
the several states and territories or
other state troops or militia, such
rifles and ammunition therefor, cart
ridge belts, hayersacks, canteens, in
limited amounts as available supplies
will permit, provided that the proper
ty so issued shall remain the proper
ty of the United States and shall be
receipted for by the governor of the
several states and territories and
commissioners of the District of Co
lumbia and accounted for by them un-
der such regulations and upon furn-
ishing such bonds or security as the
secretary of war may prescribe. and
that any property SO issued shall be
returned to the United States on de-
mand when no longer needed for the
