The first spark of the difficulty was kindled last July, when efforts were made by the contractors to fiirht nnv increased wage scale and the mutter hag been hanging fire and weighing in tne balance since last summer. Dis putes and counter disputes were at tributed to both sides. The crafts. men firmly protested that thore had been no appreciable drop In tho cost of livlnjr while the contractora claimed that wages of the employes in the building trades were higher In this city than in other municipalities In this section, of the country. - Immediately following the decision of the ' last two crate to vote reduc- uons, w. o, Wolfe, business i agent, notified Q. W. "Wrenn, president of tne Builders' : exchange of the de created ' acale ot, the . plasterers and bricklayers. Mr. Wrenn stated that he was pleased with the action- Mid asserted that he would ? Inform - the contractors at their meeting tonight Me added that there was no doubt that the builders would place their approval on tne new scale of these two crafts. "I feel gratlne over the results," he concluded. It Is understood that beginning to morrow, the members of the Builders' exchange, who control an' lmrrlense amount of building the the city will employ only union labor on tjieir contracts, after formal action is taken on the matter tonlslif. Mr. Wolfe, who for the pasVfew months has been exerting every ef fort to bring about a reconciliation in the controversy In the building trades, stated last night he felt grati fied over the results. Ha aln mtatn that contracts between employers and employe, affecting the earpenters. painters sheet metal workers, lather electricians, and Plumbers have haan signed for the next year and declared mat tne signing of the agreement with the employers of the bricklayers and plasterers now was only a mat ter of detail. :; . Because of the fact, that the brick layers and the contractors failed to come to terms work, on several projects have i been held U-n durlnor tha loaf k,vjH.l days, but this Work .Is expected to go forward 1mm 1 Fb , aTi.

It was learned last night " that all crafts affiliated with the building trades i council would retain this affiliation with the exception of the plumbers, who with drew some time ago because of a disagreement. "Ttianit the lord," was the -reply com ing back to The Clttsen office hut hletit from James f.

' ,. " Disasrreements with contractors then began to narrow down with the action of the crafts, until several days ago, disagreements existed between only the plasterers, bricklayers and . plumbers' unions. , - - The plumbers contract expireq on May 1 and the men left their work for eev eral days, when the contractors refused to pay the wages asked. Last week the ra,ft voted a redaction, which was ac ceptable by the contractors and last Monday morning the plumbers returned to their work. A short time ago It : was estimated that fully 26 per cent of the total mem bers of the local unions of the building trades had been out ot employment since last July. During the greater por Hon of the winter , only about half of the earpenters were employed. A 'few weeks ago-the members of the builders exchange prepared a new scale Of wages, effective about the middle of April, whereby a reduotlon of tl per day In the scales of all craftsmen was ordered. No change has been made m tha scale paid the union painter, , as an increase In their scale was not granted when they made the demand upon the contractors last fall. - At one stage of the dispute, persons not engsged in either the building trades or connected with the unions were called upon to submit figures nd reports as to the coat of living.

The vote was 243 to 23. Before the final vote was taken, unsuccessful attempts were made to have the house reveres its previous action in adopting an amendment providing for a' reduction in the size of the army, which now totals about 230,000 men. to ,160,000 and for the discharge from service "under rea sonable" war department regulations of men making application. An effort by Representative Her- rick, republican, a new member from Oklahoma, to attach a rider declar ing the war at an end and directing the secretary of war to withdraw American troops from the Rhine jvas quickly checked by Representative Mondell, the republican leader, with a point of order.' When the bill was being considered paragraph by paragraph, an amend ment . offered by Representative Byrnes, democrat, South Carolina, to reduce the force from 168,000, tho number recommended - by Secretary Weeks, to 150.000 -was adopted. privileged to call for 'a second vote, Chairman Anthony, of the sub-corn mlttee, in charge, of , the bill, did so today, ,but the-amendment- was rb talned 193 to 159. Representative Mondell , spoke In opposition to the Byrnes amendment. contending that It would be Impos sible for months to ,cut the army to 150,000. To keen , within the appro. piiation during the twelve months' period beginning July. 1, he said. It would be necessary toward the last of the year to reduce the army to izo.ooo. ...... Representative Garrett, of Tennes see, acting, democratic leader, led the fight for retention of the Byrnes pro posal, and on the vote had almost solid democratic support and that of many republicans. Efforts on ' a second roll call to knock out an amendment previously adopted to permit enlisted men to be discharged on application, failed 183 to 169. As introduced the bill carried ap proximately S33,uuu,(rU0, but sub stitution of a maintenance allowance for 150,000 Instead of 168,000 men decreased the total amount $12,000,- As passed at the last session,. the bill, which was pocket-vetded by President Wdlson, provided for a force of 166.000 anoV carried a total of $343,000,000. : . , RESOLUTION WOULD SCORE OIUALLIED COUNCIL Lafollette Wants Discussion of Resolution Put Over For a Few Days HARDINGASSURED BACKING ON STEP RAILWAY OPERA J Nl 'LORIDA MAN AND WIFE ARE INDICTED ORLANDO.

Germany has accepted the allied ultimatum. The reichatag tonight by a vote of 221 to 175, yielded to the final demands of the allied powers, and, in so doing, agreed to fulfill the terms of the treaty of Versailles "to the capacity" of the nation to do so. Dr. Wirth, the centrist leader, finally succeeding in forming a coalition cabinet composed of centrists, majority socialists and democrats, whichconfronted by grave necessity, speedily decided, that acceptance of the ultimatum was the only course. v In making this announcement to the reichstag the new chan cellor asked for an immediate decision by that body, and in the Toting which followed, the government was sustained. The allied ultimatum required a definite reply baaed on "yes" or "no."

Mr. Elliott laid down several specific reasons. Against, employment, of the new form of taxation.
