The contest for tho governorship between

Interesting aid has reached tho critical
stage. Both Lambcrtson nhd Dietrich are
on tho ground working hard to lmprcfs the

it ha3 now gotten to the point of crlmlna
tlqn and recrimination among tho frleuds of
Lambcrtson, Thurstou and Schneider, who
ore accusing one another of bad faith.
"When Lambcrtson consented to allow
himself to bo. projected for governor," said
ono of hla steering committee tonight, "the
understanding was that his forces were to
to merged with .thoso of Schneider, and
Thurston's federal brigade to put through
tho 'whole program agreed on. TJie.'LaraUert
no; boom was hardly announced, however,
bpfnro Schneider began publicly explaining
that he was not Implicated nnd trying to
mako deals with Dietrich and Stcuffer for
hie own benefit Thurston found that a lot
of his federal appointees would not stomach
Schneider and that Lambertson was not
bringing much strength to him, so he turn'd
around, too, grasping overywhoro to save
himself. Tho senator's chief disappointment
has been In Thummel, since ha dlscoveiroJ
the other day that even the trusted Thum
mel was putting In two words for Schneider
to ono for Thurston. The cohcnlon within
tho firm Is thereforo sadly shaken. Tho sen
ator Tvas rudely reminded of two years ago

representing ivory branch ot tho building
trades went on a strlko to enforce their de
mands. Nearly 3,000 men arc reported to
havo quit work and this Is but a small
representation of tho total membership of
the Allied Building Trades council. The fact
that so few workmen were compelled to

able to tholr cause.
Early today representatives of tho work
men were scouring tho city nnd .up to tho
present time Secretary Allen reports the
signing of many agreements with employers.
At the headquarters of the Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners It was ntatcd that
nine-tenths of their members wero "at work
and that sign d agreements' wero constantly
