at Its conclusion tho secretary of the as

nt a conclusion which would be submitted
In tho form of an ultimatum to tho union at

received tho communication the price fixed
by the employers would not bo mado public.
Deliigato NcldorwctBcr of tho Sboct Metal
Workers union wan seen at the meeting
of tho Dtilldlng Trades council. Ho said
the union had decided upon a scale- of JO
centB per hour and had decided to strike
beforo accepting leas; that tho union had
sent a committee to the Employer' asso
ciation, which had returned with an offer
from that association of 35 cents per hour,
and that the union had at that time voted
to receive, no communication from tho em
ployers unless they acceded to tho demands
of tho union. Delegate Noldorwelsor con
tinued: "Wo want to have no trouble ovor the
matter, and, therefore, last year we notified
the bosses that this year wo would demand
40 cent per hour and thus gave them nn
opportunity to mako future contracts on
that basis. Our minimum has tieon 8
cents, but many of tho men havo been
receiving us much as 35 cents per hour, so
really tho mine Is not as much an It seems.
Wo do not sco why wo are not entitled to
hp good wages oh tho plumbers and brick
layers, at wei are out of work as many
nionthH In tho year and are a much subject
to losfl of work because of tho condition of
the weather. There aro about thirty em

ready to pay tho advance demanded by the
UDlon, but one or two of thorn who run the
Employers nscoclatlon aro holding out. 1
know of thrco or four firms who havo told
their men to report for work Monday morn
ing at tbo advance, which will bo paid re
gardless of the action of tho Employers' as
nnclntlon. In fact, uomo of tho men who
havo told us they would pay tho advance
wero present at the meeting of tho em
ployers tonight. They kept still and did
not cxprcHs their sentiments because they
hope) nil of tho members of the afsoclatlon
will sign tho scalo and they will havo no
lll-focJIng toward those who aro ready to
sign now."'

Harney street would bo tbo natural avenue
thereto from tho downtown district. The

rather In tho direction of thrusting expenso
on It which ehould naturally accruo to tho

of tho proposed Thirty-first street boulovard
was ltnolf too uncertain to mako any ex
