After all South Chicago will have a federal building. At least the govern.ueui umciais are getting busy, and jcaic.uay jr., x. usuiuvaa posted notices asking for a suitable site in South Chicago for the erection of a new building. Congressman James R. Mann of the second, congressional district, .aver, & year agq secured an appropriation of 525,000 for the building, but as this was considered altogether insufficient he se. cured an additional appropriation of 525,000 at the last session of congress. This makes the total appropriation 5,000r which will be adequate for the construction of the building. The present postofflce is situated in the Commercial block on Commercial avenue and is altogether too small for the amount of work that is done in the office. Windsor Park Locals.

WANT SHORTER HOURS

Journey Barbers Present a Petition to Their Employes. On the grounds that they are work cwusa now ana tnat tney are compelled to work until 12 o'clock Sunday forenoon, the journeymen barbers of South Chicago have started a petition asking that the boss barbers give out notice that they will cease the Sunday labor at 11 o'clock. With few exceptions the boss barbers are heartily in favor of their employes demands, as it will , make shorter hours for them as well. The journeymen barbers now begin work at 7:30 Sunday morning and are not off until 12 o'clock. In moit cases it means that the men will not get home to their families until after 1 o'clock, which spoils any Sunday afternoon outing that may have been planned. A special meeting of the barbers' union will be called the latter part of this week and the petitions will be presented to the boss barbers for their consideration. Owing to the majority of the bosses and Journeymen In favor of adopting the desired hours, it looks like it would be granted by the union without a murmur. So hereafter if you want a haircut or shave drop Into a chair before 11 o'clock or you will have to go over Sunday with a heavy growth. GBAWFORDJS GUILTY Windsor Park Young Man Must Go to the Bridewell. "William Crawford, who was arrested the first of the week by Officers Lawrence and O'Callahan, charged with forgery, was yesterday prosecuted upon the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses and was fined $7? and costs before Municipal Judge Stephen Foster. Crawford, who is only 18 years old, has been going to the dogs during the last two years and but for his age he would undoubtedly have been given a more severe sentence. Not being able to pay his fine and his friends refusing to come to his aid, the young man was sent to the Bride well, where he will have to serve 165 days. When Crawford's case came up be fore Judge Foster yesterday he made a full confession and asked the Judge to give him another chance, which he did, inflicting the minimum fine. 3 ORE BOATS Iff PORT Carry 25,000 Tons of Min eral to South Chicago. Twenty-five thousand tons of ore arriving in South Chicago isn't such a bad record for one day.

The boats coming in were: W. E. Corey from Ashland, tons. Matofa, from Two Harbors, 7,000 tons. 10,000 Mich., vviiuam A. Paine, from Wis., 8,200 tons. Superior, Judging from the way the ore has been arriving at the local plant during the last few days there will be no slack of work during the next few weeKs.
