OPEN-SHOP THREAT
MADE BY BUILDERS
Chicago Employers Trying to
Force WOrkmen to Ac-
cept Lands Award.

CHICAGO, Sept Io.-onicials of
the Chicago Building Construction
Employers Association sent out an
ultimatum to employees thi safter-
noon that the open shop principle
OF employment will prevail in the
building trades next week unless
the workers accept the wage scale
as fixed by Judge Lands. Non-union
hosting engineers have already re-
placed thOs ewho refused to work
yesterday on two big jobs. Other
workers who laid down their tools
Will be replaced by union or nom
union men on jobs where individual
members have walked out.
The builders association will post
the new wage scales on every
building under construction, in
forming the workingmen that they
can have their jobs under the scale
fixed by Judge Lands. A major
fly of the unions will hold meet
Ings Sunday TO determine what
course of action they will pursue.
Some of the Unions have already
accepted the award because they
promised in advance that they
would aabide by the decision, but
individual members OF the union
have refused TO work at the re-
duccd wage an dare seeking other
employment. The contractors,
however. are confident that with
millions of men out of work. not
only in the building trades but all
other lines as we'll, it will be a
comparatively asy matter to estab
fish the open shop in Chicago.

Members of the societies were
urged to adopt milder limitations OF
their respective fraternities.
Favors Societies In Letter.
The following letter was sent to
Senator Ball yesterday by George
g. Rice. of the George c. Rice Au-
tomobile Company, in regard to the
high school fraternity edict:
1t is only natural that the stu
dents in our high schools should
follow in the footsteps of their
forefathers in desiring to call to-
sether congenial elements of their
associates in the form of fraterni-
ties and sororities.
This should be permitted be-
cause it brings about a stronger
feeling of good fellowship and en-
courages competition between the
various schools, not only in all OF
the athletic exercises. but in their
studies. II also tends to improve
the morale of our men ami women,
and there is no good reason why
the Board of Education should OBJ
jeCt to these organizations"

MARSEllLES HAS A
REAL ARMlSTICE DAY

ArmistlCc day was observed IN this
city though by reason OF the iaclom.
cut weather part of the program had
to be omitted. The parade was ,u;
out, and the football game was no.
played as scheduled,
shortly after > O'Clock the uCW
band Of seventeen pieces marched
along Main street To victory pole At
the head Of the street. where the core
mony of raising the flag was gone
through with To the strains of The
star Spangled Banner" played by the
band The crowd ON the streets
stood with uncovered heads to see the
Oag raised
Then the band marched to the Coli
scum whore the doors had been open
ed promptly at o'clock. and large
audience had assembled to take part
In the program To be rendered in com
mcmoration of the day.
Captain j. II. Mcbride presided, and
opened the meeting by Introducing
Rev W VI TiSdale. the Methodist pas
tor. who offered short prayer. Tho
reverend gentleman prayed partiCu
iarly that the Almighty might direct
the proceedings of the disarmament
conference so that out Of 1t should
como peace for the world
The next on the program was a
song b., the quartet, but they were NOT
able to be present, so selection by
tn band was substituted
After this there VAS song given
by three members OF the Legion, the
audience joining in the chorus.
Professor e. V. McAlpine was un.
able to be present owing To severe
cold which confined him to the house.
Another selection by the band fol
lowed, after which the chairman in
trOduccl =. NJ. Macarthur. who gave
a short address. Another selection by
the band followed and the chairman
then introduced Harry +. Kelly as the
speaker Of the day.
In introducing Mr.. Kelly it was cN-
planned that the press of business in
the Office of the states attorney was
such that there had not been time to
prepare set speech. But the au-
dience were assured that what they
we're about to hear would fully repay
them fer coming. as MIR. Kelly was al
ways competent to speak on the sub
ject of the day
Mr.. Kelly said in part that while h"
had been almost continuously in court
for the last two weeks, disposing e.
the criminal calendar, and had not
been able to make the preparation for
the occasion he would have liked,
that, therefore. his address must nee
esaarily be brief.
He spoke Of the anniversary that
this day commemorated, OF the end Of
the greatest war the world had ever
known. He said that from time to
time there had been rumOrs along the
front that peace had been prepared,
and that when the i1th day OF No
vember dawned nobody supposed that
it would be different from any other
day, as the cannon were still booming
and the shells flying. But when at !
o'clock the firing ceased there was a
hush along the whole line, And then
down the line came the news that the
armsticC had been declared.
He said the boys did not engage in
any wild hurrah, but they were so
tired they dragged themselves bac'
to their dugouts and went to sleep.

stress on the meeting of the disarma
