DEAD 15 YEARS BUT IS
 NAMED IN DIVORCE SUIT
Milwaukee Man Says Wife Loved Ghost of Her First Husband
 Too Much.

Milwaukee, Wis, March 3l (P- Dead for 1 , years, the first husband of Mrs Mary Czachorowsh was named as correspondent in q divorce action brought by her second spouse, revealing one of the strangest mari tai triangles ever heard of here.
 Before Judge BriedenbaCh in cir cult court, Joseph CzaChorowski tes- tifed that his wife, Mary, devotee of spiritualism neglected her home to attend seances where she hugged and kissed the Uateralized spirit of her first husband who died in 1911.
 The wife on the stand said she was a believer in spiritualism and related story of seances where she believed she had seen and talked with her first husband.
 Judge Briedenbach in granting her 6 divorce on her counter claim of cruelty yesterday upheld the right Of q married woman to make love to the spirit of q deceased husband. Such conduct, he indicated, cannot bc classed as iniiGolity.
 The wife asserted that her hus- band exaggerated affairs in his tes- timony. and said that the real req son for their failure to live togeth- eY amicably was his irritable tenn per and his habit Of striking and beating her.

LABOR WAR HERE IN JUNE:
 BUILDERS READY TO FIGHT
Contractors Will Ignore Demand for Employ ment of None Except Union Workmen, They Say.

New Britain contractors have de- vlded to stand pat in their refusal 10 accede 10 demands of organized labor that none but union men be employed in construction work after June ].
 Leaders in the organized labor movement declare there will be no withdrawal of their ukase to con- tractors and masters in the various crafts, and a state of warfare has been tacitly declared
 Several weeks ago the Building Trades council by unanimous vote, decided to order all construction work done by workmen affiliated with trade unions. They notified contractors to this effect, making no suggestion of arbitration.
 No effort will be made by con- tractors to have this demand recon sidered, it was said today, but the first overt act by the unions to bring about it's enforcement will result in open warfare, some of the leading contractors said today.
 The order is considered the most drastic ever issued in the history of organized labor in New Britain. Upon the success or failure of the unions to bring about its enforce ment, It is believed will rest the fu- ture complexion of New Britain's building trade relationships. If 1t is successful. all building tradesmen 1 from common labor to the most skilled will be required 10 show union cards before being allowed 10 work if it is not successful the ''open shop" movement will be ad- vanced, it is explained.
