announcing that committees had been APP

or two locals all have been heard from, and
in every case desire to participate in the

from tie District Assembly, Federation of
Labor, Building Trades Council, aud also
from tie Carpenters Council. The trus-
tees reported That they had Inspected the

recommended that IN future the meetings

Reports from the Catholic University job
exceptions to the statement made i'll The
Times that Mir. Brady, tie superintendent,
had said that they had not moral courage
enough to demand their rights. MIR. Brady
had been waited on and he had stated that
his remarks Were lot intended particularly
for the Isen on the University job, but were
intended FOR all men who continued 10
work without any protest for less than
what was due them, and did not have the
moral courage or Independence To demand
their rights. Tie delegates were of the
opinion that the explanation Of Mr.. Brady
at least included the men on the University
who had worked and still continued TO work
for less than the standard rate Of wages.
The report on the proposed Lew building
of MCSsrs. House &Herrmann was 10 the
effect that MIR. Samuel Prescott had Sc
cured tie contract, and while he was not
considered as very fayorably inclined to-
ward organized labor, still he had signed
a contract which provided for union wages,
union hours and union men on the work.

CHAPTER IY.


There was one man on board the Colorlc
to whom Wentworth had taken an extreme
dislike II is name was Fleming, and lie
claimed TO be New York politician. AS
none of his friends or enemies asserted any
thing worse about him, IL may be assured
that Fleming had designated his occupation
correctly. If Wentworth were asked what
he most disliked about the man lie would
probably have said his offensive familiarity.
Fleming seemed TO think himself a genial
good fellow, and he was immensely popular
with n certain class in the smoking-room.
He was lavishIy free with his invitations
TO drink and he always had a case of good
cigars in his pocket, which he bestowed with
great Bberality. He had the habit Of
slapping a man boisierously on the back
and saying: "Well, old fellow, how are
you? How's things?" He usually con-
fjded to his listeners that he was self-Diade
man, had landed at New York without a
cent in his pocket, and look at him now.
Wentworth was icy toward this man, but
frjgidity had no effect whatever on the
exuberant spirits of the New York politician.

"You ought to. By the way, why are you

merely put on for this occasion only'??'
II do not know what you mean by stand

"You know very well what mean. Why
do you pretend to be SO stiff and formal
with a fellow?'
81 am never stiff and formal with any
one unless do not desire his acquaintance"
Fleming laughed loudly. Il suppose that's
