CARPENTERS CONFER
OVER WAGE INCREASE
Discuss Local Situation With the
National Chief in Phila-
delphia.

Union leaders of the carpenters and
joiners organization of this city are in
Philadelphia today where they went to
confer with William l.. Hutcheson,
national president of the carpenters and
joners organizations relative to the local
situation. The carpenters and Joiners
held n meeting last night to discuss what
action they would take ON Saturday, at
which time they have announced that
unless the Master Builders agreed to
give them an increase from so cents to
Sl.12 = an hour they would strike. De-
spite rumors, 1t issaid that the men decid-
ed not to decide upon any action until
they had discussed the matter with Presi-
dent Hutcheson. He is in Philadelphia
endeavorlng TO arrange matters for an
increase for the carpenters of that city.
A carpenter who Is n union man said
he expressed the opinion and viewpoint
of many of the older men when he said
he would be glad to accept the 81 an hour
offered by the master builders.
81 know there are plenty of men in
the union who do not want to go on strike
on Saturday, said this carpenter. '"The
increase of 20 cents an hour, means n
weekly increase of $500 and | am satis-
fled with it as things 60 now, and know
a lot of other men who would be salts
fed to accept the s an hour and continue
at work. They don't want to strike, but
if they belong to the union and the union
bosses say strike, there win be nothing
left for them to do but quit with the
rest"
The master builders had nothing TO
add today. They have offered the men
all that they believe the public will stand
for and are waiting TO learn what the car
penters will do.

DAYLIGHT SAVING
LAW CRITICISED
Discussed Pro and Con by Coun-
cilmen, Who Do Not Agree on
the Subject.

That Wilmington does not like to
~larch at double time was testified by
several councilmen at the meeting oi
CITY Council in committee of the whole
last eyening. Several members who had
voted for the daylight saving ordinance
held that it is impracticable when it is
only half put through, and can not be
worked on local option plan. Council
man Murray still he'd out for the
ordinance and wanted city daylight
saving to be given chance, asking
'.Shal we follow New York or New
Castle2'
President George I. Lyon brought news
of the ''wai of the people going to work F"
take a poll of shopmen," he added. land
YOU will find out what they think of us rs
whole for passing the ordinance in
the first place"
Bakers are finding it impossible to
arrange a satisfactory schedule of work
under present conditions, Mr.. Lyon
asserted: They have to serve Whining
ton by one time and the rest of Delaware
by another. Councilman James Kane
held that Council had exceeded its
authority in passing the ordinance, but
City Solicitor John W. Huxley stated
that Council had the power to regulate
clocks, unless the ordinance was found
TO conflict with the State constitution.
Councilman Alex II. Abrahams denied
that commuters object to the ordinance
He said that the 800 employees of the
ATLAS Powder Co. who go back and forth
to Philadelphia every day, approve of
daylight saving. No action was taken
in the matter. 1t may be brought up
tonight, however, at the regular meeting
of Council.
CHILD WELFARE.
The child welfare department of the
State reconstruction program, through
Mrs. |. n. Perkins and Mrs. William III.
Laird, stated that S10,963 is necessary
for their work from August to January,
and asked generous support of it, stating
that in the first year of the departments
existence infant mortality was reduced
"a per cent They will present written
request to the finance committee, which,
il was promised, will give it generous
consideration.
4 delegation of builders was on hand to
ask Council to fix an annual license fee
for their business. They had been active
IN advocating the passage of Senate
Bill No. 9, which would authorize the
Council to license businesses. They were
that, since Governor Townsend
has not signed the bill, Council cannot
as yet take any action.
Holmes Jones informed the Council
that lot owned by the city, adjacent
to his property on the cast side of
Thatcher street, is In need of thorough
cleanup. His communication was re-
lerred to the Board of Health.

points above, and the effort to have

BIRTH DOCUMENT

CAREER Of SINGER
(Ry Associated PresS)

NEW YORK, June 10.-Francis
O'Brien, q young STRIPPING famous on
Ellis Island as a StoWaWay and as q
tenor of promise who is on the high
seas today on his return voyage to
Ireland, is q living proof that 4 birth
certificate may sometimes prove an
essential document in the pursuit of
a career as 4 singer.
Were it not for his lack of such q
document as proof of his contention
that he was born in Philadelphia and
that his parents took him to Ireland
when he was four years old, young
O'Brien might now be winning the
hearts of American music lovers, as
did John Mccormick, the emulation of
whose career led the lad to secrete
himself on an American bound vessel
some three weeks ago.
Instead, immigration officials, who
have only cold legal instructions to
guide them in making decisions, saw
fit to place him on an outgoing ship
and let him try to establish the essen
tial facts concerning his birth after
his return. O'Brien, however, dispair-
ed of being able to prove much about
his origin, because both his father and
mother are dead and he has no rela-
in Ireland.
The young tenor's fame as a singer
probably would never have started to
spread had it not been for slight ILL
ness contracted on Ellis Island. caus-
ing him to be placed in the hospital for
treatment. The nurses there became
enchanted with his singing, and before
he was deported he was giving con-
ccrts for the other inmates of the hos

of the island generally. As a result
O'Brien's name today is on the lips

O'Brien is only one of hundreds Of
such cases that are sent back to their
original place Of embarkation every
month. There are so stowaways on
the island now awaiting orders to go

York than its enchanting skyline.
Every incoming ship from no matter
what port, according to immigration
officials, brings from two to ten stow
