Col Hasklns spoke very effectively, and
the pupils showed their appreciation of his
effort by genuine and hearty applause.
Col. Has1ins spoke at some length, and,
among other things, explained the cause of
the war, emphasizing that it was not war
between the North and South, but war
between the South and the federal govern
ment. He urged the boys of today to
stand firm in any future crisis which might
threaten the Union.

PLASTERERS GO on 4 STRIKE.
LITTLE TROUBLE FEARED FROM THEIR ACTION
IN THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH AND
OTHER BUILDINGS.

Again NewYork has a strike in the building
trades 1t began yesterday. but. unlike other
strikes in the building trades during the last two
years. II Is probable that it will affect to any
great extent building operations in this city. The
trouble yesterday in the new building OF the
Postal Telegraph Company. at Broadway and Muir
ray-st and in the new building of the Mutual Re
serve Fund Life Association. at Broadway and
Duane-st. Six hundred men struck In the TWO
buildings. They plasterers. steam -ntters, car,
penters plumbers. electrical workers painters ana
Elevator constructors The strike ordered be-
cause of the contractors had reduced the wages
of plasterers from s. 70 10 - 80 1t was said by the
walking delegates who ordered the strike that the
contractors reduced the wages of the plasterers
without giving notice Of the reduction 49,
The strike began Monday, when hfty-seven
pa quit work. Their action was not effective
for the contractors had no difficulty in nlling the
places OF the strikers with cheaper men. The
walking delegates therefore. decided TO order
general strike OF all the building trades on every
building where these contractors doing any
work. While every preparation has been made for
an extensive strike, a serious stoppage OF work Is
feared
