The laborers thrown out of employment num ber doee to 2. COO and construction work on sixty buildings Is at a standstill. The con stant annoyance of prtty demands by union men Is given as the cause of the lockout. The union will probably go half way in a compromise with the master builders, not wishing to see a suspension of building operations. Traction Strike at Butte. BUTTE, Mont., March 19-The offices of the street railway oonipajiy were deserted tonight and a long and determined fight la looked for between the management and the members of the worklngmen's union, the latter being responsible for the tie-up of the road. All kinds of conveyances were in use upon the streets today, and cab and transfer companies and hack drivers did a flourishing buslnees. For the benefit of people living In WaJkervllle, Centervllle and Meadervllle. stages were run at fre quent intervals, and were well patronised. Manager Wharton of the street railway states that the tie-up . will continue until the. striking employes are tired out and conclude to go to work at the old scale of (3 per day. "There Is nothing to this talk of a strike among Harrlman bollermakera. at least on the Union Pacific," said a prominent official of one of the shop unions. "For certain reasons union bollermakera could not strike on this road and there Is no agitation of such a thing. Some days ago bollermakera on the Southern Pacific had a confeience with the company officials over the abolition of the physical examina tion requirement, but they settled ull their differences amicably. No, everything Is quiet and peaceable In the Union Pacific shops." EXAMINER TAKES CHARGE OP BANK Absence of Cashier Starts Ron on Institution. r iuiii t oinu v-4ii rutiiiurin.

The hearing In the alleged lumber trust esse wss resumed today before Referee Post. Among the witnesses examined was Charles Odwarker of Weeping Water, who Intro duced the following communications re ceived from Secretary Crltchfleld by the members of the association. The first shows what Is purported to be the "pound pool" agreement. It Is as follows: MEMORANDUM. For the purpose of convenience the fol lowing memorandum is sgreed upon: he railroad weights of all material received by each dealer on and after May 1, l'.tos, shail be the basis for settlement and division of trade. (Except coal, brick, sand, rock, wire fencing and paints.) 2 Freight bills showing the weights of all local shipments shall be attached to a written report, and for carload ship ments the same shall he verified by giving the date of arrival of the car. contents, numlier of cur. weight, etc., and If for any reason either dealer shall overlook or miss giving account of a cor ot cars at any time for settlement, the weight of such car -or cars shall be doubled at time of next settlement after the same has been dis covered. 3 Each shall pav Into a common fund, which shall be equally divided, share and shnre alike to each dealer, on the total amounts of weights of material received during the previous month or since the last settlement, as follows: On all lumber, lath and shingles. 24 cents per lio pounds.

List of Favored Manufacturers. Accompanying the "pound pool plan'' was the following letter: LINCOLN, Jan. 1, 1905. To the Mem bers: With this Issue of the bulletin w hnd you copy of the arrangement which has been consummated between the South ern Lumber Manufacturers' association and the lumber secretaries' bureau of in formation. Notwithstanding we have been unabls to handle this plan of reciprocity tluougn the medium of the National Manufactur ers' association as contemplated, and ti.ua take in all the manufacturers' associations connected with that great body, It has been thought advisable to put the plan Into operation so far as the southern Lumber Manufacturers' association Is con cerned, and thereby give some object les sons that will sooner or later be the means of bringing them all Into line. As the whole object of the action Is to secure harmonious and ethical relations be tween manufacturers, wholesalers and re tailers, and the- settlement of disputed questions In a manner equally Just to all parties and as well to Insure the con suming public greater freedom from prac tices inimical to the general as well as private interests, It Is manifestly the duty and to the interest of all retail dealers that they should have befor- them a re liable list of such manufacturers and whole salers as from their professed and openly expressed friendship are entitled to and should receive the favors of such retail lumber dealers who Include southern lumber In their trade. To this end I enclose you list of the members of the Southern Lum ber Manufacturers' assrclatlon. urging upon our membership a carefui consideration of the reciprocal duty which each owes to all such manufacturers and wholesalers who exercise due regard to the Interests of the retail branch of the lumber trade, and es pecially to those who by the recently con summated arrangements now place them selves In position to avail both you and themselves of an ethical, businesslike method of settling any dispute which may ar(e In the course of business. While ndhslon tnrthe principles enun ciated ::xl lii-h fro.n Mm to t n.f may be pd"lted us ood tti.de clinch, is by no neans conru)sory cr In n-Mralnt of the utmost freed n cf trade It Is yet felt thtt any retailer who cannot nno o"hii not ...... j . . . . . practice the ethical prln-lples Involved is ,ot R doslreblo member of trls asso lj- tion -nd th.mld not be acknowledged or received as such. On t're otlur hand, man ufacturers and wholesalers who lo r.ot -e-gard the ethical rights of the retailor should be esteemed as unworthy of the patronage of those -vho uphold the ethical principles of association work. In order that we us members of the Ne braska Lumber Dealers' association may be able to distinguish between our friends and those who are Inimical to our Inter ests, we have placed ihls list In the hands of every member, and It Is strongly uraed that every retailer adopt the motto, "Friendship to tho Friendly." In placing von- orders for stock of southern cln; lumber. A copy of our bulletin ana memnersnip 1 list will also be mailed tu aacb meubur has promised to do this, provided we will reciprocate this courtesy. Thoae Who Are Friendly, The honorary membership of our associa tion Includes the names of many manu facturers who are not members of the Southern Lumber Manufacturers' associa tion, but who are consistent adherents of ttie association principles. Many are In eligible on account of their location In the north and weat. The very fact that they appear on our list as honorary members Is an Indication that they are friendly to our Interests and subject to our rules ot de portment. Our members should not esteem the work as thus happily Inaugurated to have reached its highest state of perfection; It has but made a commencement upon lines which are believed to be consistent with the maintenance of Justice, amity, good will and the beat Interests of ail branches of the trade. It will take time and experience to work out all the details and develop Its excellence. The Southern Manufacturer's association Is rapidly adding new members, and we have no doubt that Its advantages will soon Induce a majority of the south ern manufacturers to Join Its membership. The northern manufacturers as Individual almost unanimously accede to the prin ciples asserted by the retail aaaoclatlons and are working In practical harmony with us. while from the opposition of a few, declining as yet to take official action In their associations, we are unable at this time to give the matter the full scope at which we aim. The attitude of Individuals as firms in mis regard may always be ascertained through correspondence with your secretary. It but remains for the members of this association to act in such a manner tli.it it will make the principle of reciprocity something more than a -name In their deal ings with the manufacturers of southern pine lumber, and no leas with their friends and producers of the northern pine prod ucts. Keep the enclosed list of the member ship of the Southern Lumber Manufactur ers association where you can always re fer to it when In need of their product, sr.d be aure In giving an order to a trav eling aaleaman that be haa proper cre dentials aa the accredited agent of the house which he aasumea to rcpreaent and Is not an irreaponalble scalper with no responalble houae behind him to fill hi ordera.

After a general discussion of the methods to be adopted to secure the best results therefrom, the following resolutions on be half of the two great Interests were unani mously adopted: Whereas, It has become evident that un settled und disputed questions of trade relations which are constantly arising be tween the manufacturing and retail branches of the Industry be settled amic ably, promptly and with due regard for all those most Immediately concerned, and Whereas, Experience has demonstrated that the moat satisfactory results have always been attained through Joint con ference and arbitration, and while general declarations of trade customs may be made and recognised in the trade they cannot In the very nature of things cover all con tingencies and many disputes must be set tled, each upon Its own merits, and Whereas, We, the representatives of the Southern Lumber Manufacturers' associa tion and the assoclatons of retailers com posing the lumber secretaries' bureau of Information, In meeting assembled, believe that the entire lumber trade would cheer fully recognize any declarations of trade relations manifestly fair to both branches. and would gludly welcome any equitable method of promptly settling Individual dif ferences which could not be anticipated and covered by any general declarations, be it therefore Resolved, 1 That this Joint committee declares that In Its Judgment the Interests of the manufacturers and retailers here represented are mutual. 2 It Is recommended that local questions of dispute between dealers represented In the lumber secretaries bureau of Infor mation and the manufacturers represented In the Southern Lumber Manufacturers' association may be submitted to arbitration by a committee to be composed of one member of each association Interested, who shall be appointed by the presidents of the respective associations to which the parties belong. A third member may in case ot necessity be selected by those so appointed. J When individual local classlficatjon Is asked for, a committee to decide the sarv? shall be appointed In the same manner as above provided for the appointment of com mittees for arbitration, Its decision to be promulgated in the usual form, and be It further Resolved: Thnt the secretary of the Southern Lumber Manufacturers' associa tion be hereby requested to furnish for dis tribution to the members of the several retail associations affiliated wl'the lumber secretaries' bureau of Inform;. on a com plete list of the members of said manu facturers' association. Also that the mem bers of the Southern Lumber Manufactur ers' association be requested to equip their authorized representatives with a uniform style of credentials. JNO. W. BARRT. J. R.
