Effective January 1, members of the Ashevllle Carpenters' union are to re ceive 75 cents an hour, according to a new scale agreed upon by the union. When the matter came up for a rote only four members of the local union voted against the 76 cent wage scale. Since there has been no discussion concerning the increase the carpen ters believe their .demands will be met without a fight with the contractors and the public, ... , Members of other building crafts have Joined the carpenters' union "in ejecting from their membership all mechanics admitted by special pro visions during the war, which move has eliminated around 800 from the local building trades unions. The mem ejected, or at least the majority of them, had not according to the rules of the" union, mastered their trades of served out their ap prenticeships. The practice of "laying down" on their work has been criticized by offi cials of the carpenters' union, who advanced as their reason for calling attention to this practice that th custom has a tendency to discredit the organitation in the minds of the FALL FROM BUILDING CAUSED BOY'S DEATH Gustave Solomcn, Visiting Here From Savannah, Dies From Injuries Re ceived Yesterday Afternoon at Play.

Local Man In Line for Title of Baronet, But Has Taken Out Naturalization Papers. Philip S. Henry, of "Zclandla," yes terday received a cablegram from London, announcing the death of hla brother, Sir Charles 8. Henry, Hart, M. P. The news came as a great shock to Mr. Henry, although his brother had been ill for some time. Sir Charles lost his only child, Lieut. Cyril Henry, killed in action In France in 115. The deceased had been a member of the British parliament for the past 14 years, and was a popular statesman of the empire. He had been in America, but never In Ashevllle, and was recently In the United States on government business. As the title of baronet Is hereditary, Philip Henry is next in line to receive his brother's title, but for one ob stacle, It was said last night. Mr. Henry several .years ago took out naturalization papers as an American citizen. Philip S. Henry has been a resident oi Asnevine. ior many years, coming here from England, where he bought the beautiful "Zelandia" castle, on a mountain overlooking Ashevllle. He and his family spent many years here prior to the war. At the outbreak of hostilities the Henrys were In Europe, where they remained until the war had ended. They were prominent in war work and did much to relieve the wounded British officers and sol diers in the many hospitals which dot ted the islands. While it Is not known now, there is a possibility that Mr. Henry will visit England . in the near future, to look after his dead brother's estate.
