LOCAL CAMP EXCEPTED

Anniston, February 27.-tSpeciaL) The fact that Camp Mcclellan is the only temporary camp in the southeast ern department which has been 'ex- cepted from the general salvage order, and is designated as one of the camps where all of the buildings are to be preserved is believed by officers of high rank to indicate that it will be made permanent military post in the near future.
 Mai Robert F.. Scott. the construc- tion and utilities quartermaster here, has just returned to the cantonment after a business trip to Washington, and beyond the statement that the To- cal cantonment is to be used as mann moth central storage, salvage and ship ping depot for government owned ma terial and property, has no official in formation to give out on the subject ol the permanency of the camp here.
 The belief prevails in many guar. ters. however that the retention of the buildings of every kind, the designa- tion of the camp as the site for the storing of millions of dollars worth of material, and the preparations to keep full force of utilities workers and so1- diers in the service means that the gov ernment will utilize the Mcclellan res ervation for the quarters of many of the soldiers who are to make mp the regular army of 500.000 men.

though all my instincts and draining

l found that Katie had left me
generous portion of home dinner,
covered in the warming oven of

lounging around the house, distinctly
sulky, but evidently relieved at see

Why Dicky Knew.
Funny thing you can't stay at

without rushing off to town even

Labor World

Following the refusal of the NJ.
F. Shafer and Co., to comply with
the demand of IA Of their union
printers for an increase in wages to
$53 week, the union scale, the men
walked out yesterday morning.
The demand of the men had been
submitted to the officials of the COM
pany more than two weeks ago,
declared Roy Hinman, secretary
treasurer of the Typographical
union. The officials had refused to
consider the demands and the strike
followed.
Employees of the company had
been receiving up to $50 a week.
Willard F. Bailey, advertising
manager of the Shafer company,
stated that the wage scale was not
the matter at issue. He declared
that the company objected to pay
ing the union scale of wages to men
whose work did not warrant the in
creased scale.
The Shafer concern conducts an
open shop, according to Mr.. Bailey.
Many of the striking boilermakers,
who walked out more than two
weeks ago after they had failed to
come to an agreement with their
employers, are leaving the city and
seeking work in other towns ending
the adjustment of the difficulties
raised by their demands and the en-
ployers' refusal to comply.
The men ask for an eight-hour
day and an increase in wages equiva-
lent to the scale received by union
boilermakers and helpers in other
sections of the country.
The Drake Williams Mount Co.,
and the c. G. Johnson Boiler Co.,
which have been principally affected,
refuse to meet the union representa-
tives or to entertain their proposal,
declares w. V. Angel, international
organizer for the boilermakers. The
plants operated by these two con-
Germs are shut down tight, according
to Mr.. Angel.
Numerous striking committees
have waited on heads OF the two
companies but have been unable to
gain even an audience with them,
say the men.
The 80 or more strikers have the
support of the local Building Trades
council and the International body
in their strike. The men who have
accepted no other work along other
lines are now receiving the strikers
benefit from the international funds
of the local.
They are determined to carry their
demands into effect though it takes
a long while to do so, asserted Mr..
Angel.
No boilers can be installed in any
building upon which union iaborers
are working by these two companies,
said Mr.. Angel. The Building
Trades council would call off the
union laborers if these two COM

Mail Schedules May

Omaha business men stand a fair
chance of receiving their mail from
New York and other eastern points
before luncheon in the near future,
according to R. S. Brauer. super
intendent of the local division of the
railway mail service.
Mr.. Brauer will be transferred to
the Chicago division of the service
June |. He has also been appointed
to a committee which will endeavor
to speed up mail service between
the eastern coast and Omaha.
1t is hoped by Mr.. Brauer that
the mail schedule from New York
and Boston to Chicago may be
shortened on hour, thus enabling the
mail to reach Omaha from Chicago
at $50 in the morning, or an hour
earlier than it is now arriving. This
will make the distribution of mail
in Omaha before noon possible, Mr..
Brauer believes.

What Madge Faced When She
Returned From Lillian's.

My relief at transferring the prob
lem of the woman in the cafe to
Lillian's capable hands was aug
mented by the knowledge, palpable
to more inexperienced eyes than
mine, that my friends undertaking
of the work was godsend to her.
She had brooded so long over the
tangled web in which her life and
those OF Harry Underwood and
Robert Savarin were enmeshed that
she sorely needed the stimulus of
some outside and absorbing interest.
This my fathers problem gave her,
because of her love and friendship
for me.
l had no scruples about allowing
her to expend her utmost effort in
the matter, for I feared from the
few words she had spoken concern
ing Robert SaYarin, that she had
lost all her usual poise and mental
clearness in her judgment of him,
and that if she were left to herself
the consequences might be grave.
Since the artists faltering words,
"I tried to bring you definite news
of him, but when l reached the
prison camp he had gone" | had
cherished no further doubt of his
innocence of any attempt upon Har-
ry Underwood's life. Lillian, how
ever, | was sure, was still obsessed
with the fear that there had been a
tragic meeting between the two men.
1t showed clearly in her emotion,
her lined face, her haunted eyes. l
hoped that this search for my
fathers Nemesis would remove her
far enough from her own affairs to
allow a sweeping breeze of common
sense to blow away the mental cob
webs which were unmistakably
woven across her mentality.
The hope was distinctly strength
ened by Lillian's parting words to
me when | left her to return to
Marvin.
Parting Advice.
"Now you're to stop worrying"
she said, and l noted with joy that
the old, capable ring in her voice,
the old light of interest in her fine
eyes. "I'll see to everything at this
end, and we'll save your poor fathers
pocketbook and peace of mind i'll

your part. Don't be too scrupulous.

patiently. "You know my opinion,

The growth of Painters local No.
lO9. though not phenomenal. has
been steady and marked, according
to its secretary, ]. P. Hansen.
Though the unsettled condition
incident to the war affected this To-
cal, as it did all others, its present
membership is larger by 10 per cent
than at any previous time i'll its
history. The local is at present
composed of more than 400 men.
Men discharged from the service

come members of this local. AL
though the regular initiation fee is

Many veterans, men who have
seen hard service with the American
troops, are taking advantage of this
opportunity to become members
In the past month over 10 such
members have been accepted.
As a shortage of painters exists
in the city the men find it COM
paratively easy to locate jobs.
OF the l42 union carpenters who
Joined the colors at the outbreak of
the war, more than 90 have already
returned. Despite this a shortage
of carpenters still exists, R. A. Will
son, business agent for the carpen-
ters' local, declared. No reason can
be assigned for this shortage, he
stated.
Building operations on 4 large
scale will soon be begun, many firms
in this city having plans for the
erection of buildings already per-
fected.
In the past three weeks more than
1000 packing house workers have
left their jobs and gone to work on
farms. The majority of these men
are experienced farm hands and can
command higher wages on the farm
than in the city.
During the winter and early
spring months when farm help is
but little needed these men seek
Jobs at the packing houses. At
about this time hog runs become
light and there is a great decrease
in the work at the packing plants.
Believing that the scale of wages
being paid in the states farther west
was higher than in Omaha, about
dozen carpenters set out for Lusk,
Wyo., recently. They intended to
locate in that city permanently if
they found that wages paid there
were radically different from those
paid here.
; The men were not long in being
convinced that this city is just as
liberal, if not more SO, in the mat
ter of wages, than any other city.
Wages are higher, according to
the men, in Lusk than in this city
but the difference in the cost of liv-
ing more than counter balances the
increased wage.
Although the established scale for
carpenters in this city is IS cents
an hour, the majority of them re-
ceive from 80 to IS cents an hour.
