The only contest of any Importance
developed at the republican state con-
ventinn held at Pierre last week was
that between Gov Frank 9. Lowden
and Gen. Leonard Wood for the en-
dorsement as candidate for president.
The opposition to Lieut. Gov. Nc.
Master for governor melted away
when the supporters of State Senator
Gail Gundersnn Withdrew and con-
sented to the nomination Of Mr. Gun
der,on as lieutenant. governor. The
delegates to the convention were al
most equally divided an supporters of
Wood and Lowden, but the machine
had the men from M,nnehaha, Davi
son and Lawrence counties, all pledg-
ed for Wood. Under the Richards
law each delegate voted one-third of
the votes cast for governor in his
county. The Wood forces having the
big counties. won out This does not
mean. however. that the people in
these counties are going to vote for
him in the March primaries. 1t may
be of Significance that the soldiers IN

dnrirg the war, were all against the
nomination of Wood or any other
military man. Most of the officers
were for him.

new YORK WAGE ,
STRIKE: E:SETTLED
Umpire Decides Question Be-
tween Carpenters and Building
Trades Employers.

NEW YORK, March 2S.-Justice
P. Henry Dugro, chosen as umpire
by both sides, with the approval Of
the Federal War and Labor depart
ments. has settled the wage dispute
between the United brotherhood OF
Carpenters and Joiners, New York
district council, and the Building
Trades Employers association, by
awarding outside carpenters an in
crease from $3.50 to Sc a day until
July 1, and $e.25 from then until
Jan. 1. The award has been ac-
cepted by both sides.
When the demand of the men for
81 increase was refused last No.
vember, they struck, and later threat
ened q general strike in the building
trades. But the secretaries Of War
and Labor urged mediation, and JUS
tice Dugro was named as umpire.
Justice Dugro brings out a point OF
interest in his comment upon the de-
cision The original demand, he
says, might have been reasonable
when made "but today peace has
been considered practically an as
sured fact, and such expectation of
great demand for carpenters in 1919
as could have been considered rea-
sorable last November cannot now
be so considered. Government work
has, or probably will. slacken, and
general building operations have not
yet been undertaken to any great
extent. The stage of such opera
tions in which the services of car
penters will he in demand will not
