The big strike affecting all the
building trades in New York was
called off Monday under an agree
ment reached at q conference between
representatives of the Building Trades
Association, the union and the Sec
retaries of War and Labor 1t was
agreed that all matters in dispute
would be placed before Conference
Committee composed of three men Sc
lected by the employers and three by
the workmen.
The strike was in support of the
carpenters who are asking for higher
wages, which have been agreed to by
the independent contractors, employ
ing Is per cent of the carpenters in
New York city. The powerful New
York Building Employers Associa-
ton, however, declaring it would not
concede the demands made and in an
attempt to bust" the unions, caused
a lockout OF its employees and brought
on general strike of all building
trades that tied up all building i'm
provements in New York city and its
vicinity, and stopped work in various
parts of the country where the big
New York contractors had contracts.
In Hamilton nine carpenters were
effected. These men were employed
at the Niles Tool Works company,
where remodeling is being done in the
old office quarters. The Faro Con-
struction Co, of New York, members
of the New York Building Employers
association, have the contract for this
work. Business Agent Swain Corson,
of the local carpenters union, on Mon
day received instructions from the in
ternational to stop all men working in
Hamilton for any of the New York
contractors. The nine carpenters on
the work at the Niles company imme-
diately laid down their tools. On

During he controversy, Business

with carpenters for any work what
ever, and that the controversy exist

it's Advisory Committee here, has
launched all attack upon the proposal
of United States Senator Ashurst, of
Arizona, to purchase part of Mexico
from the EIexican Government

knows that an attempt on the part of
any Mexican official or body of of

1t was said that Senator Ashurst
has shown reckless disregard to
the temper of the Mexican people to
the scheme. Asked on the floor of
the Senate whether this scheme would
not result in an uprising by the Mex
lean people, Senator Ashurst is re-
ported to have answered: "Oh, we'll,

The Ashurst bill is viewed by the

Citizens Committee.
Appointed To Investigate
Conditions OF Electric Light
Plant, Issues Statement.

The citizens committee appointed
by Mayor G. j. Smith, to investigate
and report to council on the electric
/ light and power plant held a meeting
Saturday All members were present
excepting Peter Benninghofen, who
is out of tire city
The committee organized with Cor
don S. Rentschler as chairman, and
Albert B. Brown, secretary. Besides
the committee, F. j J Sloat, director
of public safety, was also present.
A lengthy discussion of the electric
current sill laton was had, during
which many questions were asked by
members of the committee of Mr..
Sloat regarding the condition of the
plant, after which it was decided to
appoint special committee to look
into the legal rights of Hamilton to
buy electric current and if necessary
to construct a pole line ON which to
carry electric current. Harry J Koch
Ter and Edw G. Sohngen were named
on this committee
The committee will confer with the
! Union Gas and Electric Co. of Cincin-
matt, to ascertain if electric current
can be secured from that company's
big power plant 1t is said that this
company has declared that it can fur
nish al the current that will be nee
essary
The sentiment Of the committee
seems 10 be to preserve and improve
the presen plant, but to buy current
elsewhere TO meet present needs until
such t,me Is the plant can be rebuilt
and enla Qed to meet all requirements.
TO MAX itself plain TO the people
of Hamilton, regarding its work, the
commste as authorized the follow
ling statement:
Co1mittee Statement.
We, .he committee named by May
lor c. ]. ST. tn, to investigate the elec-
trie light ard power problem in Ham
ilton, wish to take the people into
our fullest confidence, recognizing
in question of this kind that all the
people are very properly and vitally
interested nd hence entitled to know
the aims and purposes Of this com
mittee.
The function of this committee is
to investigate We have no powe,
to act or bind the city in any way
Hamilton : confronted with a very
serious problem We as a people must
either enla ge our electric production
or else stand to lose it entirely II
other words-the municipal electric
plant must be enlarged and improved
or else it will speedily become s.
small factor in the electric situation
as to anpunt to practically nothing

while private ownership viii be forg-
ing ahead
The committee is unanimous in its
devotion to municipal ownership. We
desire to see the electric light plant
retained fer the people as municipality
owned property Our function as a
committee is to investigate and re-
port on the best way of preserving
and eng.hening the city's plant to
the end that Hamilton may have
enough electric product to supply all
customers, both for lighting and
power
The cits's electric light plant is
capable of producing 1000 kilowatts.
The plant is crowded to its utmost
capacity; !. can not take on any more
customers nor can it supply manufac-
turers wan+ing power The plant is
worked to is limit every day 1t is
wearing out and unless it is improved
and enlarY d by the expenditure of
at least $4,000 it will not be long
before it will be worthless and the
people will have lost their municipal
lighting plant entirely
so wit the purpose of preserv-
ing and ST. engthening the city's cleo
trio light plant we as committee
must investigate the ways and means.
One way is to enlarge and make ALL
the product Another way is to con
tinue making part and purchasing
any remainder that may be necessary.
1T is row our purpose to see if
there is such seller and get his
terms
"As the ,mmittee progresses in its
Investigations it will make all facts
and findings public. Our purpose is
to serve Hamilton as best we can at
this time when the city is on the
threshold If its greatest develop
ment"

money to purchase land that can be
drained irrigated or stumped, and de-
velop government-owned land in the
same manner, this land to be sold to
soldiers, sailors, war workers and 9th
ers on long term payments, and to
provide means whereby loans can be
made to each purchaser to erect build
ings, purchase necessary machinery
and seed, which will enable him to
raise the first crop.
Generally speaking" the circular
states, 1t is the history of congress
that no legislation is passed unless
an insistent demand is made by con
stituents of senator's and representa-
tives.
Kindly furnish me with the mum
Der of members of your craft or call
ing who are now unemployed, and
advise me as to the outlook for un-
employment during the rext three

Furnish me with the names of al
firms or companies that have laid of
their employees, and particularly the
names of those firms and companies
that endeavored to hire them bach
at a lower wage, or at longer hours
or both.
"The necessity for immediate ac
ton on the above matter is most urg
ent, for in this after-the-war perioC
the trade union movement must ap
ply the same energy and intelligenc,
that was such paramount factor il
bringing the war to a successful
close
