CHICAGO BUILDING.

Decision to Ask Rehearing
on Lands Decision.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. September 10.-Two con-
structions today were being placed on
the unanimous vote of the Chicago
Building Trades Council. declaring the
Landis wage award "unjustifiable"
and expressing the universal dissat-
isfaction" of the workers over the
decision of Judge K. NJ Landis as
arbiter in the building trades con-
troversy.
Wage cuts Of 10 to SO per cent were
ers and contractors held labor's YER
dict and demand for a rehearing was
tantamount to rejection of the award.
Others asserted labor had not broken
it's pledge to abide by. the decision
and termed the action ian acceptance
under protest"
The declaration of the union bodies
and the request for a rehearing today
was considered serious setback to
the prospective peace In the Chicago
building world and the proposed inn
mediate starting of~s1OO, 100000 worth
OF building and the employment of
nearly u1ty thousand men.
Throw Down Tools.
Members of building trades unions
on a/number of jobs yesterday threw
down their tools. Thomas Kearney,
president .,of the Building Trades
Council, today expressed his intention
to try. to keep the workers on the Job
until decision regarding a rehearing
had been reached, but admitted that
1t would be big task. At the meet
ing OF the trades council dssatis-
faction was heard on every side and
among all unions he asserted
James Conroy. secretary Of the
building council, asserted that the
action of the council in asking for a
rehearing did not constitute a rejec-
tfon of the Lands award reducing
wages from 10 to 33 per cent. The
workers merely expressed their in
tention of refusing TO work for what
they considered inadequate wages, he
said.
f. NJ Craig. secretary of the Build
ing Construction Employers Associa-
ton. on the other hand. characterized
the action as a virtual rejection of
the agreement and expressed his be-
lief that no rehearing will be granted
so long as the men fail to stay on
the job.
The action of the building trades
council and the request for re-
hearing is to be submitted today to
Judge Lands.

100000 to $1.000.00O.
Possibly Due to Battle.
His associates could explain the sui

1900, all Of the candidates on the So
called harmony slate. supported by the
leaders of what were formerly the Lee
and Peter factions of. the party. won
out at yesterdays democratic primary
election in this county.
They carried Laytonsville, Bethesda
and Wheaton districts by heavy ma
5orities. and most of the harmony can
didates came out ahead in Poolesville,
Rockville. Colesville, Gaithersburg and
Barnesville districts. The anti-organi-
zation forces had the better of it in
clarksburg, Darnestown. Olney. Potomac
and Damascus districts. About $500
votes: or approximately IS per cent of
the total registered democratic vote.

OF the county failed to vote.

George L. Edmonds. Charles G. Grif-
nth, Carson Ward and P. Hicks Ray, for
the house Of delegates; Samuel Riggs.
Robert L. Hickerson and Lacey Shaw,
for county commissioners, and Alvie A.
candidates.
The contest between Samuel Riggs,
incumbent. and Lewis w. Barnsley,
for the nomination for county COM
missioner from the first collection
district. attracted the most interest
Because, as member Of the board
of county commissioners, he recently
voted in favor of increased appro-
priations for public schools, which
resulted in substantial increase in
the county tax rate. Riggs was
fought quite bitterly. especially in the
central and upper sections of the
county. but his home district of Lay
louisville and Bethesda and Wheaton
districts stood by him and furnished
more than enough votes to overcome
the adverse vote in the remainder Of
the county. His majority was 585.
The election was the elimination
of a contest of considerable bitter
ness.
Results Of Election.
The total vote of each candidate
follows:
For the house of delegates-George
l. Edmonds. 3,09s; Charles G. Grifith,
5000; Carson Ward, 3.055; P. Hicks

Luhn. 1925: Robert L. Saunders, 804.
The only republican contest was be-
tween State Senator Willis B. Bur-
dette and Clifton Dronenburg for the
nomination for clerk of the circuit
court Senator Burdette carried all
but three of the fwentv.one pracincto
of the county and in a total vote of
approximately 1900 had a majority of
about 800.
Little interest was manifested in
this contest, as it was a foregone con-
clusion that Burdette would win, and
as result only about 20 per cent of
the party vote was polled.

Congress against seniority rule. From
time to time, for years. new members
of that body have complained of no
thoroughfare. Everything has seemed
closed to them. The old members have
appeared to be in full possession Of all

time at Jericho for their boards to

that at organization time members

Stromboli.

Stromboli is active again, and the
people occupying that troubled island
are in terror. The Italian government
has sent a number Of naval destroyers
to carry away all who cannot be ac-
commodated by the island shipping in
disastrous activity. The normal pnpu
lation Of the island is about 1000, and
the task Of removing them in a hurry
will be difficult. These people. in
obedience to strange instinct. cling
to their precarious homes despite re-
peated visitations and warnings. and
leave them with the greatest re-
luctance in some cases it has been
necessary to use force to remove the
occupants of volcanic areas in Italy
when the menace was imminent.
Stromboli is one of the most active
Of the worlds volcanoes. 1t was par
ticularly violent in 1907. the year pre-
ceding the 'Messina disaster. in which
that city was almost wholly destroyed.
In 1912 another eruption occurred Of
magnitude, and again in 1915. Four
years later, in 1919, the crater once
more emitted lava. but not in such
great volume. During the eruption Of
1915 a new crater was formed, with
great explosion. These successive
eruptiOns, which have continued for
centuries. have so increased the lava
area of the island that now almost the
whole space is occupied by the noun
tain itself. The people cling to fertile
patches at the base OF the lava fields.
In such cases there is always the
danger of violent explosion. blowing
off the top Of the mountain and pre-
cipitating an immense volume Of lava
or hot ashes and stones upon the peo-
pie before they have time to escape.
This happened at Pelee, in Martinique.
where there was sufficient warning in
the volcanoes preliminary activity to
enable the people to reach zone Of
safety. But in these cases they always
stay, hoping that each day will bring
remission from the belchings Of the
vent and a subsistence of activity.
There is no dependable forecasting of
volcanic violence. These blowholes Of
the earth perform according to laws
that man has not yet codifed and has
only vaguely understood.

Trying to Stop Industrial War.

The Secretary of Labor a short
time ago went on record as believing
that the solution of industrial trou-
bles-in common with others-lies in
a common practice of the golden rule.
Evidently he has been rejecting upon
the ramif1cations of the situation. To-
day he is reported as declaring in an
address preliminary to the annual
convention of the Moose that the
labor solution is largely in the hands
of the churches
The differences between capital and
labor are economic and must be set
tied through economic influences.
Capital wants more power and labor
wants more liberty. Capital cannot
be persuaded by either the churches
or the golden rule that it should
share its gains with, labor. Labor
cannot be coaxed by either churches
or the golden rule to accept less
that capital shall have more. And
that is the situation. The change
must come about not through re-
vision of ethical policies by either
capital or labor. but by sweeping
change in the economic system
