PUTTING ON CITY AIRS

PAINTERS WHO HAVE BEEN DECORATING COURT HOUSE GO ON STRIKE.

Six of the painters who have been working at the court house have gone on a strike. They are demanding the Chicago scale, which is < 72 cents per hotlr. They have been receiving 60 cents per hour. The work at the court house has been progressing very nicely and most of the work on the third floor has been completed. The east court room is practically finished and it is very beautifully decorated.
