JNe GOVERNMENTS DEATH TRAPS.
Everyone Who Mas Ramshackie Building
Expects Uncle Sam TO Buy il.

WASHINGTON, June I2.-The collapse of
of the old Ford theatre whereby scores OF
government clerks were killed and injured,
illustrates fact of interest to the public.
It has for years been the business of oper-
tors to rent or sell to the government build
ings at big percentage on their cost, the
government agreeing to make all repairs
and return the property in as good condi-
ton as when at first occupied.
The Ford property belonged to the gov
ernment. II had been condemned as un-
safe when bought. The collapse was in
the line of the plan on which the govern
ment does this sort of business. There are
other buildings rented or sold to the govern
ment concerning some of which, If they do
not collapse all predictions will fail.
Only lately an outlying province of the
post office department was "shored up just
in time to prevent a calamity similar to that
of Friday. There is still another, the
largest of the acquired rat traps that people
look upon. wondering when It will fall in.
1t was sold to the government at price no
individual operator would have looked at.
The government apparently waits for its
collapse.
Itis common remark that the govern
ment occupies more buildings rented or
sold to it by operators, who lie in wate for
such chances, that il owns. Frequently
they are unsafe. Selling to the govern
ment buildings more or less worthless has
been reduced TO system. Renting them
to the government is usually the first step.
There have been 4 number of remarkable
Transactions of this kind within the last few
wears. Ii is matter well worthy the at
tenrion of Congress-. The collapse of the
Wilder building was because Of mansge-
ment that my one would say was criminal
There are other cases ready to develop al
any time Persons in the general govern
ment and the District government deserve
the blame.

BIDDEe0RD STRIKE.
More Men Leave Work-A Proposition from
Firms-Niils Still Running.

BDpEFoRD, June 12.-The threatened
general strike at the Peppereil and Laconia
mills came Monday morning. Fully half
of the employees of the two corporations are
out, most of them as strikers. The mill
gates were thronged early Monday morn
ing but aside from shouting and Kissing at
those who went to work, there was no law
less demonstration.
The strike was strengthened this after
noon by the accession of number more
Laconia employees who have not heretofore
been in sympathy with the movement.
Among the latter were the full crew of yard
hands.
The strikers held a mass meeting at the
Opera house this afternoon and listened to
the report of the committee appointed to
confer with Agent Macarthur.
The committee reported that the agent
said the corporations were not rea'iay to ac-
cede to the demand for 10 per cent in
crease, but if the strikers would return to
work the companies managers would fully
investigate and if possible to grant the
operatives an increase III wages. would do
SO. No action was taken at the meeting,
Another will be held "Wednesday.
Agent Macarthur said tonight that the
mills will be kept running as long as possi-
BILE with short crews, but if the strike con
tinued "a shut down will be inevitable.
