NEW YORK LABOR
TROUBLE IS OYER
Threatened Carpenters' Strike
Called Off When Contractors
Agree to Union Honrs and
Scale of Wages.
New York, Aug. 10. The threat
ened strike of carpenters employed
in government work in this district
on cantor.mcnts, navy yard construc
tion and aviation fields was called off
today.
An agreement was reached after
a conference between government of
ficials and labor union leaders, under
which it was agreed that union hours
and wages will hereafter prevail on
the work contracted for by the gov
ernment. '
The contractors had objected to the
demands of the Carpenters' union that
no nonunion labor be employed.
The agreement provides, it was an
nounced, that only union labor will
be employed.
Although only 2,500 men were
directly affected by the strike, the
Order of the Brotherhood of Carpen
ters has a membership of almost 400,
000, all of whom, it is said, might be
drawn into a general walkout.
At today's conferences the govern
ment is being represented by Rear
. Admiral A. F. Harris, chief of yards
and docks, and John Moffitt of the
Department of Labor. The govern
ment representatives, u is said, are
' seeking to adjust the differences be
tween the firm of Henry Steers, in
corporated, and the Brotherhood of
Carpenters, over the employment by
the firm of 130 nonunion carpenters
on the construction of the marine
cantonment at Felham Bay park.
Nonunion Men Cause.
The union asserts that inasmuch
us the government awarded the con
tract to the Steers firm, that it is
responsible for the employment of
the nonunion men. Unless the con
tractor consents to employ only
union men, or the government can
; eels the contract, the union threatens
to enforce its strike order not only
at Pclham Bay park, but at City
park,. Brooklyn, Hempstead Plains,
Long Island and at Yaphank, Long
Island, where marine and army can
tonments are under construction by
contractors employing" only union
men, To enforce their demand that
only union labor be employed it
was said today that the carpenters
were prepared to call out all their
members working on government
contracts within a radius of 400 miles
of New York and, as a last step to
bring their entire organization into
1 the tight.
Troops to France Be Delayed.
' A strike by the carpenters in the
' Xew York, district alone would not
only delay construction on the camps
where New York's quota in the hew
national army is to ' be quartered,
but also would seriously affect the
transportation of troop: to Europe.
The result of today'' conferences
was exoected to hinge upon the attt
tude of the high officials of the Broth,
"erhood of Carpenters . in their reply
to Samuel Gomoers. president of the
f American Federation of Labor, who
yesteruay. prgtcsicu mat wic jiv
posed strike would b: a violation of
.'mi agreement entered into between
himself and Secretary Baker provid
ing for a conciliation committee to
settle all labor disp es on contracts
for the War department.
Exemption of Married Men
To Be Made More Difficult
Washington, Aug. 10. Provost
Marshal General Crowder laid addi
tional stress today on his statement
to local boards that that it might be
come necessary to narrow the exemp
tion! of married men or others with
dependent relatives.
The draft law did not exclude
any such from military service, but
merelv authorized the president to
grant such discharges where circum
stances made it appear advisable.
The effect of General Crowder's
caution to the local boards is to make
possible a reopening of every case
where a registered man has already
heen held discharged t by reason of
those dependent on hint. j

With the physical examination
-1 f .u. .... . i. r:.u-J
the boards are now sorting out all of
i their claims preparatory to choosing
the men for the draft army.
Other Districts Busy.
Seven men were reported to the
fourth district as filing false claims
One man hied for support of wife and
child and it appears that he has not
been living with them for quite a
while.
"Such men as these will stand
pretty poor chance of ever being
exempted," state Acting County
Lounty Judge bundblad.
A civil war veteran stepped into
the Ihird district offices Ihursday
leading a young man by the arm.
"This man has filed papers for ex
emption on the grounds of being mar
ried," state the vetcra.i, "and the fact
is he has no one to support.
The young fellow admitted it, so he
is just as good as in the army by
now- ,
Sees Name in The Bee.
Chris Paulsen has been working in
a camp and when the notices wqre
sent out his did not reach him. the
lists published Thursday evening in
J. lie Bee came into his hands, how-.
ever, and he noticed that he was
wanted.
He reported to the Fifth district
physician and passed a very good ex
amination, but when asked if he
wanted any exemption claims to file
stated: No, 1 don t know what I
would want to be exempted for. I
would rather go over and fight.
Another man stepped into the office
of Judge Foster and said he wished to
withdraw his claims.
"I never knew how bad the coun
try needed men until I read the news
papers, stated the man.
Men Fail to Report, i
The percentage of men failing to
report was not as targe as was ex
pected. In the First district there
were only two men that could not be
accounted for. One was a negro, Clay
Anderson, JV14 Lake street. It is
thought that ' he is now in Detroit,
Mich.
The other man was Carl Bartz.
Thirty-ninth and Curtis avenue. His
former honve was visited, but no trace
could be found of him. The neigh
bors were unable to say where he had
gone.
On the South Side thirty-nine fail
ed to report. The biggest share of
these were laboring men who drift
from town to town and are hard to
locate.
Eleven have not reported in the
Fourth district, while fifteen are miss
ing in the Fifth. One of the men
has shown up in the Fifth, however,
and taken his examination.
All that are missing in the Sixth
can not be told as yet, but it is
thought that about fifteen will have
to be hunted up.
Many claims have already . been
made to the " district board, but thev
have only been looked over and will
be acted upon later when the board
has had more time to lok them up.

"What can I say about Russia when
I get all the news from your own
papers?" Mr. Borodin asked when
asked what dependence the allies
would place upon Russia in the war
against German'. "Mr. Root brings
back a very encouraging report
More than that I cannot say."
Frank to tell of the purpose of their
visit to the United States, the Rus
sian delegates were reticent about
conditions in their own country. It
was evident, however, that they were
not worried over the security of the
government in Russia and have per
fect confidence in Kerensky, the
young Russian premier.
The Russians came to Lincoln from
Fremont. Xeb., where they attended
the Xational Tractor show and made
arrangements for the purchase and

So much of the charm of a de

nothing to do with character in
