DISCUSS ADVANCE
FOR CARPENTERS
Builders and Men Thrcsh Out
Demand for as Cents an
Hour Increase.

For the first time in tho history Of the
building trades Of this city, il is said, rep
resentatives of carpenters employed here
and representatives Of builders met last
night in peaceful conference To discuss the
demands Of the carpenters for an increase
in wages from so cents To 81 25 per hour,
beginning May /.
The meeting last night WAS the result Of
a conference of the builders held earlier
in the week, when it was decided by the
builders, that the best way to reach An
aprecmentxwas to ask their employees 10
discuss the scale.
There were five local representatives of
contractors and of HogRson and Stewart
present together with the carpenter 3
unions delegates. The men discussed the
question freely, and stated that while
a single man might struggle along on 80
cents an hour, that it was Inpossibie for
a married man to live on it. The builders,
it j. reported seemed TO think that there
should be an increase, but just how much
was undecided.
The builders thought that if tho public
was assured that there would be no fur
ther advances, that it might receive the
advance favorably and proceed with future
work. but otherwise both men and the
public might be injured unless such So
surance was given IL the men will agree
To make no moro demands then the build-
srs. it is said considered that the advance
might be arranged.
There is 10 be another conferences next
Thursday night, of the builders At which
time the question will be discussed and
afterwards meeting held with the labor
unions representatives.

DOCTORS WANTED To
CHANGE KLA|R LAW
Even Those Who Do Not Pre-
scribe Whisky, Favored
Modification.

Not until il WAS learned through can
vAss among the physicians OF the state,
that practically the entire group OF nedi-
cal practitioners in the state favored
amendments or repeal of the klair law
did the Antl-Saloon League agree to
even consider any changes In the law,
according tn Rev. f. G.. Pre- rettyman, super
intendent of the League for Delaware.
As matters stand now. there will be amend
ments presented to the law permitting
physicians 70 prescribe and druggists To
sell whisky for medical use only.
Il was surprised when | learned OF the
sentiment of the physicians of Delaware
towards the sale Of whisky, said Mr..
Prettvman today. Not only are there q
large number who want to use whisky
In their practice, but even those who
never usc it. and do not approve Of it as
a medicine. believe that those who do
approve of it should be permitted To pre-
scribe il. This view is not confined To this
CITY and county but is held by physicians
generally throughout Delaware.
There was no intent to consider any
modification of the law, continued Mr..
Prettvman, until we learned Of this
sentiment There are ID States today
which bar the use of whisky rs q medicine
Attorneys for W TrIxton Boyce,
Federal Prohibition Commissioner, will
complete, today. the draft of the amend
ment to the klaIr bill.
Mr. Boyce said this morning he hoped
10 be able to submit the draft to DR..
Albert Robin, president OF the New
Castle County Medical Society, sometime
this afternoon. The physician is expected
10 take the matter up at once with the
special committee appointed for the pur-
pose last Tuesday night. II the committee
approve the bill il will be submitted IN
its present form to the Legislature. The
terms of the''draft were not divulged, but
the purpose of the text is simply to make
only such amendment to the State Law
as will be necessary TO allow the use oi
whisky by doctors for strictly medicinal
use.

SHAME OF THE '-U-5s-

The story Of the U-23 ends with
touch which is characteristically German.
1t was one of the sub marines which were
surrendered to the Allies at the signing
of the Armistice. Its irst visitors, on ttis
occasion, were the Americans; they were
eager to read its log-book, and 20 find
out Just what happened on this final
voyage. The book was on board, and it
contained a record OF the u-5S's voyages,
from the day that it was commissioned, 4,
up to the day that 1t was surrendered
Two or three pages only were missing
the Germans had ripped out that part
which described the encounter with the
American subschasersl
They were evidently determined that
We should never have the satisfaction
of knowing to just what extent We had
damaged the boat; this was the only
revenge they could take on us.-Admiral
