fure in which Georges Carpenter

high class canvass material manu-

Big Attraction Mt Crescent

Heaven has M rage like a wom-
ans love TO hatred turned" writes
Congreye. the great French author.
This is the theme OF what Wom-
on Want" which is being shown as
the banner attraction at the Cres-
cent theatre.
Francine D'Espard. a beautiful
French girl. and William Holiday. a
young army officer. met in France
and plighted their love. Holiday
returned TO America and found his
father in the clutches OF an I'M
scrupulous manipulation who hal
stolen the control of the great Hol-
liday mills from the old man.
Francine arrived In America
shortly after. with the intention of
marrying young Holiday, but was
told that he was TO wed the daugh-
ter of Bates.
This duplicity on the part of the
man for whom she would have laid
down her life turned her love TO a
flaming hate. II developed that she
was a member OF the United States
Secret Service and turned her abili-
ties toward the task of running
young Holiday.

and put up the garages in question, but
others throughout the city have done the
same while the case was pending in the
courts ON appeal. They have received

0NTRACTORS At
MEETING REFUSE
To FAVOR RAISE
To Painters Union, Who Has
Made a Demand For An
Increase in Wages of S.
Per Day, Beginning June |

The Contractors association held
a. banquet at the Y. NJ. C. A. last
night. plates being laid for forty
three. Lumber dealers who were
present as guests explained the
price situation. They presented
facts and figures showing that
prices in Albuquerque are as low,
and in some cases lower, than in
other cities similarly situated, con-
sidering location and freight rates.
They also stated that they do not
anticipate any great change in
prices in the near future.
Following the banquet and the
report of the lumber men, the con-
tractors held business meeting.
1t was reported that none of mas
ter painters had reported any new
contracts, as requested by the local
painters union, and that their
action received the unanimous en-
dorsement of the association.
In consideration of the recent
request of the painters union for
an increase in wages from IS to
SO per day, beginning with June /,
a scale of wages now being paid to
painters throughout the United
States and Canada. was read before
the meeting. The scale follows:

Bearing on the same matter the
resolution was adopted:
1T being the purpose of the Con-
tractors association to curtail as
much as possible any further adj
vance in the cost of construction,
we as an association disapprove of
a further advance to be made on
the public by the local painters in
their demand for an increase in
wages of 1914 cents per hour or
81 per day, which makes a 50 wage
for an eight-hour day."
