PAINTING CONTRACT
: IS CAUSING TROUBLE
i
Union Labor Men Up In Arms Over
Frank & Son Getting High School
Job Control Labor Union to Act.
The Indications are that there will
bo n repetition of the friction that on
BUed over the painting of the park
fountain by non-union labor.
5li Wednesday night, school Directors
Vuniian mid Evans, of the school board
building committee awarded, from a.
number of bids, the contract for paint
ing ut the high school to H. Frank &
Son. Their bid was considerably lower.
Frank & Son do not employ union men
and the unions are consequently up
In nrms Against the disposition of the
contract.
The strong united labor sentiment
that Is In Carbondale Is manifesting It
self and the more radical are In favor
of taking some notion to retrlve what
they, deem an Insult to united labor
on "the part of the directors who gave
nut--the conttnet-. The directors take
the stand that It was their duty to give
the contract to the lowest bidder, but
thp union men claim that they should
have been given consideration.
A meeting of the Central Labor union
will ho held Sunday at which some
action will probably be taken.

were uccomDanled by Miss Mamie
Maxwell, sister of the bride, and J. D.
Harris, of Carthage.
"Although many thought the wedding

Texas, where he is Interested In oil
wells. Ho will leave today for Port
Arthur to look after his business and
to assist his relative, David Stump, In
the publication of the Port Arthur
News.
"A home will bo prepared for his bride
there and she will follow In a month,

Mr. and Mrs. James Maxwell, on North
Maple street.
"Mr. Stump is a Carthage bred boy,
a printer by trade. He has spent the
greater part of his life in Carthago
and is considered unusually fine In his
work. Also he a fine musician and a
valuable part of the Light Guard band,
which is loser.
"Miss Maxwell came to Carthage
only a few years ago from Pennsyl
vania and has a large circle of friends."
