By noon the number of men on itrike was cut down somewhat, as, a dozen or more builder agreed to slfe the scale. C. Gilbert Hintz, president of the local union, would rot. tell luet how many had already agned, but estimated that a group employing about 200 men had done o.

He said that un to noon no empWer who is Iden tified with the Contractors' and Builders' Exchangehad signed.

The last aarreerent between the contractors and bvlders and the Carpenters' union ws for two years. It wns sitrnod bv 2 individuals and firms who erect ir repair buildings.

The new scale aopted by the union follows: 80 cent an hour for a day of eight hours; the and half for each additional hourylouble time for Sat urday half holy, legal holidays and Sundays. The id scale was simaiar, except that it us based on 70 cents during the firsyear and on 75 cents during the eecnd year. The carpenfs state that the exchange volun rlly raised the scale to 75 cents, ijview of the high cost of living. Jther employers who were not entified with the exchange also lid the 5 cents Increase MOSfGOT 80 OR 95. Mr.

Hintz jclares that only a min ority of thcarpenters received 75 cents durinfthe last year, and that the majorltjwwe paid 80 to 95 cents. Some, he got as much as $1. This, is threason given for asking for a. rate i 80 cents an hour. This new figures not regarded as an increase, bufnerely as a uniform rate of pay, bad on what the men were paid last ear.

WATER HEATEf POOL OPEN EVERY DAY For Men, Women and Children Learn to Swim Lessons $8.00 HrRMlHll 9 GETTING BACK T0 NORMAL HOW Columbus, May 2. Quiet observance of May Day throughout the United States, despite efforts to agi tate demonstrations through. the dls ribution of literature, "gives assurance of the return of normal conditions in America," said a statement Issued here today by Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty. The attorney general declared that yesterday had been a typical "American Sunday." His statement said he had been urged to issue a general public warning against announced demonstrations as had been customary, but that he had refused to do so "My idea was," the statement said, "that if a general warning were given it would invite rather than prevent demonstrations.

I believe it is best not to agitate the agitator. The coun try Is settling dawn to a patriotic program. Disturbances of the character threatened would not be popular any place. I think we need less watching and more working in this country. REASON TO BE PROUD.

I would not say that it is per fectly safe to leave the smokehouse door open, but we are back to normal, almost, as the president of the Unit ed States would say, and we have reason to be proud. of ourselves." Mr. Daugherty's statement said: "For a month the Department of Justice has been receiving from many parts of the country samples of literature purporting to be sent out for the purpose of agitating some prospective May Day demonstrations. A very strong demand was made upon me to issue a general public warning against such demonstrations. I considered the matter very care fully and finally determined to issue no warning such as has been customary in the last few years, "I received hourly reports from the Department of Justice all day Saturday Saturday night and all day Sunday, until midnigrt.

These reports were collected the department from the most remote parts of the country. "Every hour gave reassurance of the quietude and calmness widespread through the land. "The police forces of the cities throughout the country have done wonderfully well, and are entitled to congratulations. Splendid preparation was made by them and the result can be observed throughout the entire country." v. DEATHS BIEBER.
