working at home on the farm when
the second call for volunteers came.
He was met by neighbor. while haul
ing a load of wood and the neighbor
suggested that they go down and en-

SThe Alarm Clock"

1.-the Alarm Clock will hand you
laugh a minute said the Boston
Post, So II you can stand the strain
OF continuous laughter you must not
miss next weeks play ,{week Of Au-
gust 4th) at the Lakewood Theatre.
At a great deal of expense the Lake.
wood management has secured the
late farce by Avery Hopwood, whose
successes such as "The Bat" ''The
Gold Diggers," Fair and Warmer"
Why Men Leave Home" and about
twenty others have always attracted
capacity audiences everywhere. 1t
Is anticipated that crowds will find
their way to Lakewood next week, for
THE Alarm Clock Is Hopwood's q
funniest play and old and young will
enjoy every moment of 1t. II has
Just completed a six weeks run 10
Boston where in spite of the warm
weather 1t played to capacity bust
ness.
The hero, Bobby Brandon has been
neglecting his teeth or something and
contracts a very slight attack of rheu-
matism. Bobby, with his gay New
York friends, has been enjoying too
much night life, and his dearest
friend, a Mrs. Dinsmore conspires
with a doctor to have Bobby kept
away from the all night cabarets. To
give him the proper "home life" en-
vironmenf, his relatives from Kamms
Corners are brought to his New York
apartment. You can't imagine the
hilarious complications that develop
with amazing rapidly and II is no
wonder that the Boston Globe said
"The audience was eonvuised most OF
this syeHing." On Monday night the
performance begins at 7.80 70 allow
ample time for the big five acts of
free vaudeville after the performance.
On this occasion George F. O'Connell,
the pre-efninent concert artist will
sing, and his program will be the
musical treat of the season.

SAN QUENTIN, CAL, March IT,
In the face of a petition for delay

Cues widow stated that this was the

Pompa also stated that a witness at
his trial had sworn falsely, and that
the only actual witness had not been
called.
The Mexican Blue Cross and thou
sands Of other persons worked inde-
fatigably to prevent Pompa's execu-
ton under such circumstances, but

PAINTERS STRIKE
FOR WAGES and
SAFE SCAFFOLDS
Detectives Ordered Out
Of Union Meeting

ST. LOUIS, March 1.-THE paint
ers Of st. Louis, numbering 2,3O,
are on strike today as a result of the
contractors refusing to meet the
terms submitted to them. The capt.
talist press here is already lined up
with the bosses. Stories appear in
the press in advance Of the strike
that disorder and violence are antici-
pated if not already taking place.
After holding several conferences
with the bosses the best terms offered
to the painters is $40 a day. Every
thing else to remain as it is. The
union demands $12 day with the
five-day-week. Other demands insist
on sanitary drop-cloths and rags. The
bosses are now using drop-cloths and
rags that have been in use for years
and are filthy, endangering the
health of the workers.
The union also demands the right
Of its representatives to examine all
scafolds, ropes and other equipment
as to their safety. They further de-
mand the disseminating Of the prac-
tice of having members haul the
bosses tools to the job. In hiring
painters, the bosses generally give
preference to those who are willing
to donate the use of their cars for
the purpose. This results in gross
discrimination against those painters
not having automobiles.
Last Sunday at mass meeting the
painters committee was instructed by
unanimous vote to stand pat for
these demands. The bosses after
learning the decision of the men in
the mass meeting began using the
usual dirty tricks by turning in fake
police calls and having detectives
come to the meeting. The workers
voted unanimously to order the
"dicks" out of the hall, and con-
demned strongly the action of the
police.
The union is standing solid and it
is generally believed that the con-
tractors will begin to weaken as
soon as they see that the strike is
1000 effective.
The men working for the city were
given two weeks in which to either
reach settlement as based on the
demands above or else quit work
This extension Of time to the city
employees was given to allow the
Aldermen to vote on the new budget
to meet the demands of the painters.
