CARACAS, 6 2.—Presi- dent Juan Vincente Gomez returned to the capital today after an absence of E of 7000 men with which he had five months. He brought with him the been encamped at Maracay since early in August, when Gen. Cipriano Castro, the former dictator, made an unsuc- cessful attempt to cause a revolution. The soldiers marched through the principal streets and then were drawn up in front of Miraflores Palace, where the members of the foreign diplomatic corps had gathered to offer their New Year’s greetings. It seems probable from the indications given in the New Year's address of acting President Dr. Jose Gil Fortoul, that the termination of the state war at present existing shortly will be pro- claimed by the Government. The Con- Kitutional guarantees, covering trial by jury, will thereupon be re-established.

E. Wilson's application for license tag No. 23 was honored. The first tag he ever took out bore that number. A few days after he ob- tained it he had a collision with an- other machine and, though his car was wrecked, he was not hurt. Since then he has considered 23 his lucky number. . The only woman who asked to have a special number reserved for her was Mrs, Paul Griesedieck of 3127 Longfel- low boulevard. She drew No. 19, but gave no reason for the preference. S. J, Kiefer, who failed to get No, 1 automobile license, consoled himself by taking out a No. 1 dog license. He jok- ingly said his dog could run faster than Hugel’s automobile. J. B. Gahn chose a No. 18 license tag for his dog. The Adams Express Co. obtained all the single and double harness vehicle licenses from No. 1 to No. 20, except the double harness licenses issued in the marriage license office. License Commissioner Alt said that up to noon Friday the license collec- tions for the last six months amounted to $100,000 more than in the preceding six months. JUDGE M’PHERSON MADE ILL BY ST.

LOCKOUT. 18 Boot and Shoe Workers’ Union Wins Victory Over the United Shoe Workers. EXPECTED A peculiar labor situation in St. Casi has been revealed through the an- nouncement of the Hamilton-Brown Shoe Co, that when its factories are reopened next Monday only members of the Boot and Shoe Workers’ Union affiliated with the American Federation of Labor will be employed. The 1500 members of the United Shoe Workers’ Union, formerly employed. in the factories of the Hamilton-Brown Co., declared through their officers, Friday, that they éxpected to be locked out Monday and would formally call a strike. The Hamilton-Brown Co. has enter into a contract for one year with the Boot and Suoe Workers Union under the terms of which only mem- bers of that organization will be em- ployed in~its factories. The Boot and Shoe Workers’ Union has 3500 members and was recéiving applications, Friday, from hundreds of other workers. There has deen bitter | rivalry between the two labor unions in St. Louis, and each has been striv- ing for recognition from the manufac- turers. The fight between the labor organizations, the manufacturers de- clare, has caused them much trouble. The Hamilton-Brown company paid off all its workerg_the day before Christ- mas and notified them that their serv- ices would not be required. The notice stated, however, that the factories soon would be reopened and then former em- ployes would be given preference. Since then the company has made the con- tract with the regular union, and ig- nored the United Shoe Workers Unien, which came into existence as the result of an insurgent movement in 1909. Hundreds Joining Union, It was announced by the company Friday that to applicants-for work Mon- day, and on succeeding days of the week during organization of the new force, would be presented applications for membership in the Boot and Shoe Workers’ Union. Those who are already members of the Union, or sign applica- tions for membership, will be employed, but those who refuse will not be given employment. Grant Smith, financial secretary of the United Shoe Workers’ Union, declared that the members of his organisation would not join the rival union. They preferred to go on a strike, he said, to accepting employment. on condition of becoming members of thé rival organi- zation. At the 3 of the Boot and Shoe Workers’ Union; at 810 Ollve street, a reporter found 400 men in line waiting for an opportunity to file applications for membership. Officials of the union said that 90 per cent of the applicants were men and women who had not been members of any union.. Some. of the members of the United Shoe Workers’ Union were applying, they said. | The employes taken back will be paid the wage scale that prevailed before the factories wert closed, accdrding to J T. Johnston, superintendent of the three. big Twenty-first street factories of the company. Under the contract be- tween the unlon and company all dw agreements as to wages and conditions of employment are to be referred to a board of arbitration for adjudication. The officiais or the United Shoe Work- ere Union asserted that their organisa- tion had been able to get increases of 33 to $6 a week for their members in other cities. For the reason that they had been fighting for higher wages, they gaid they believed the shoe-manufactur- ers of St. Louis .were discriminating against them, and in favor of their older rival. All of the Hesntitun-Brown factories in the Twenty-first street group, which have heretofore been open shops, will become closed shops under the contract. |. On account of labor troubles, arising out of the strife between the rival un- lens, officers of the company say they have had difficulty in manufacturing .a sufficient quantity of shoes to meet. the demands of their trade.
