WANT AN INOSIASE IN WAGES Ask That Minimum be $2.25 Per Day-Conferences Held. The differences which have been pending between the anion carpenters and the bosses in this city since April, came to a climax yesterday, when the . former held a largely attended meet ling at the Industrial borne and voted to stop work. Today practically all the anion men were oat nnd the contracting cir- penters were holding conferences to ! discuss the situation. lljlh sides !ae firm and both appear con tide at of animate success. The Point of Difference. The point of contention is the mini mum wage. Last year the lowest wages allowed by the scale was 25 cents per hoar or f 3 for a day cf eight hours. This f priog the only altera tion demanded by the carpenters' union wasan advance of the minimum wage to 2 2o r er day. This was met with a refusal on the part of the con. tractor cu the pro u ad that it id an exorbitant rato to pay for the cheaper k'nds of labor necessarily employed. A number of conferences between the bosses and carpenters have been held, but both sides have refused to yield the point. The signing of the scale would be a mere form on the part of some of the contractors, as in many cases they ay all their men more than the price demanded. Metal Worker Hay Become Involved. A result of the carpenters' strike may be a renewal of the efforts on ihe part of tbe fcheet metal workers to gain the ecale they have been unsuc cessfully demanding. They have asked a minimum wage of 30 cents per hour, and have been refused on the same grounds that the contract ing carpenters have taken. While there has. been no general strike of tbo metal workers, it is not unlikely that they may join forces with the carpen tera now and put up a lively tight.

The practice of reading aloud at reg ular intervals Is of great lcnefit to npy one affected with a chest complaint. In all canes of lung trouble It Is impor tant to Indulge In thise exerciies by which the client Is In part filled or emp tied of air, and reading aloud, singing nnd whistling are three of those exer cises. There are many who cannot sing. and we do not expect the fair sex to whistle, but reading aloud can bo prac ticed by all. Care must be taken not to overdo It, of course, and the body should le in such a position as to allow the chest to have free play. Heading aloud. If we pay attention to what we are doing, will not only be benellclal from the standpoint of health, but will also have the effect of making us better speakers by teaching vs proper modulations of the voice and by increasing our knowledge. This Is where It has tho advantage over whistling and singing. la Ezteanatloa.

This morning the roundhouse and yards here presented a deserted ap pearance, the switch tracks looking, as a citizen has expre33ed it, "like the wrinkles on an old man's face." Em. ployes of the road were bustling about preparing for a permanent change of base, for it had been given out that ter tomorrow morning no crews for the trains whose runs terminate at Hawthorn will be cilled in this city. This is taken to mean that the general rule that the crews must live within one mile of the roundhouse will be come effectivft, It was very evident that the employes were not rejoicing at tbe prospect.
