as result of them being caught by
La stone, Monday.--According to a
memorandum of the writer, we
were digging ditch for the Buckeye
Pipe Line company at Elba in Oc-
tober, 1908, and in professional
way we have never but little more
than just changed from one ditch
to another, but-until Alfred Lam
don was nominated for the presi-
dency we never knew how close
that Elba experience in our life
might now puff us out like a dead
horse. OF course, we missed him
10 years as his parents moved him
to Marietta in 1893, but somehow
we feel that we may have carried
our dinner-pail from the door
around which "Alf'' played-and
that's that!

ST. LOUIS, March 1.-THE Build
ing Trades Council here announced

a protest against security wages"
paid by the Works Progress Admins
tration.

tration projects here halted during
yesterday as more than 1000 union
workers left their jobs.
John J. Church, secretary Of the
council, said labor groups throughout
the State will be asked to remove
union men from P. w. A. jobs.
Although the strike protest was di-
rected at the w. P. A, not the
P. w. A., the walkout was ordered for
union men employed on all Govern
financed projects.
Church contended the Works Prog
eSS Administration was paying union
rates in New York, Chicago and Other
cities, but only SIS to S95 month
for skilled workmen here
He said the council was particularly
concerned because the w. P. A. had
been using low-wage workmen at
cement pouring and finishing, carpen-
try, brick laying and other trades.
The building trades secretary also
charged that Matthew S. Murray
Missouri w. P. A. administrator, had
been antagonistic to union labor.
