Wages and WOrIxmen ON Public
Buildings.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
AS a member of the committee before the
District Commissioners asking that in all
specifications for public improvements and
buildings in the District of Columbia the
maximum wages shall be paid, District
workmen be employed and the eight-hour
law be enforced. I thank you for the fair
and correct report appearing in your issue
Of yesterday; and I believe that the press
Of Washington can secure the removal Of
a grievance long felt by the laboring men
Of our city if they will investigate and
write up the hardships for which the pres
ent system Of letting out contracts to the
lowest bidder is responsible
The acceptance of contract under the
present system arbitrarily fixes the rate of
wages to be paid, as well as the number
Of hours, for these low bidders base their
estimates on low wages and long hours, re-
sulting always in the importation of cheap,
and in many cases inferior, workmen from
Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and other
places.
We protect ourselves in requiring that
| material of the best quality shall be used
in our public improvements. Why can we
not protect ourselves against inferior work
men? If the law gives the Commissioners
power to say that bricks of a certain price
be used. why does the law not give them
the same power to say that labor of a
| certain wage be employed?
should alone govern the Commissioners in
the giving out of contracts, and under thai
law the Commissioners can regulate the
wages, hours of labor, character of work
| men, as well as the character Of the ma
| terial.
| 1t is not alone the mechanics of Wash
| ington who are interested in this matter
but all classes of our city, as we are all
concerned in the manner of thesconstruc-
| ton of our public buildings.
The charities are interested, for there are
| quite number living permanently among
| us who live on public and private charity
| through the winter and work at low
| wages during the busy seasons. This class
| can do this because they do not, like the
| honest mechanic. have to provide for the
| support of themselves and families during
| the winter.
The merchants are interested, for the me-
| chanics to whom credit has been given for
| supplies and rent could pay their just in
| debtedness If they were employed at fair
| compensation. Every merchant in the city
| should, in his own interest, send petition
| to the Commissioners backing up the unions
| in this request, as high wages mean pros
| perity to the merchant.
There are many good reasons which could
| be advanced why this regulation should be
made but your space is limited and my
article is long. E. NJ. BLAKE.

EXCURSIONS.

The Street Railway Protective Union took
an outing to River View yesterday that
was an unqualified success in every par.
ticuler. 1t is estimated that 1000 tickets
were sold, and that over half that number
were used by those who took part in the
excursion. The morning, afternoon and
evening boats were all crowded. Dancing
began Immediately on the arrival of the
morning boat. and was continued all
through the day. Several games of base
ball were played. and every one enjoyed
the impromptu program which was ar
ranged for the benefit of the guests. Those
who contributed to this were Charles Sana,
John Mclaughlin. Fred Smith, Albert Spor-
leder, w. F. Gates. Charles Gates, Harry
Pond. L. G. Toney and Miss Morris. All
the roads were Represented except the Eek
ington and the Washington and George
town. and the Anacostia delegation was
especially mum erous. The association but
tons were worn for the first time on the
outing yesterday. 1t is said that not one
intoxicated person was seen on the grounds.
ard this fact IS pointed to with pride by
the. members of the union. 1t is thought
that very large sum was netted to the
association from the proceeds of the excur-
sion 2nd the managers feel very much
gratif1ed over the success of the undertake
ing. The committee in charge of the excur-
sion consisted of Messrs Richard Rose,
Robert L. Dent. ]. H. Akers, w. w. Rice,
Phillip Baker. Robert Glasscock L. McMil-
Ian and Mark Whalen. The prominent
members of the union who accompanied
the local members on the excursion were
President Lawrence, Secretary Casey, Re-
cording Secretary Dement, and James Trai-
nor.
Speedy, the wonderful tower diver will
jump from his eighty-foot tower into three
and one-half feet of water at River View
tomorrow. This is a Special attraction
which has been prepared by Capt. Randall
and no extra charge is made for the event
The regular time schedule will prevail, and
children will be charged Is cents. This is
one Of the most thrilling feats which has
ever been presented in this part of the
country, and is well worth n trip of twice
the distance to River View.
A moonlight excursion will be given t.
Marshall Hall Monday, July %, by the r
w. and B. Club. composed of the clerks OF
the Police Court. The excursion is for the
benefit of Lincoln Corps, w. r. c., and tn,
proceeds Of the outing will be turned ovel
to that organization. The steamer Mac
alester has been chartered for the occasion
and will stop at Alexandria on both trips.
An excursion for the benefit of the poor o
st. Dominic's parish will be given tomor
row night to Marshall Hall on the steame
| Manchester. 1t is to be given under tn
auspices of the ST. Dominic's conference o
| the ST. Vincent de Paul Society, and is tn
second excursion which has been given TO
| this purpose. The tickets are good o.
both day boats, the Manchester and tn
River Queen, and a good crowd is expects
| to be in attendance.

EXPLAINED.
Eonfdencc I'm Their Product Led the
Shakers to Make an Unusual
Offer.

People of this DAY and generation not dis
posed to give things away. When, therefore. the
Mount Lebanon Shakers recently stated that any
one could get bottle of Digestive Cordial by call
ing in person at their New York Office 1t excited
great deal of talk.
One of the leading dailies of the metropolis sent
a reporter 20 find out what was meant. 1t de-
beneficial In large majority Of cases that nine
tenths Of the people who sufficiently anxious to
call for sample find so much relief that they con-
time the products and tell their friends about
1t. As result very large demand has been
created.
The Shakers have long record Of success as In
vei and their various medicinal products have
always enjoyed high reputation. The Digestive
Cordial is only nourishns in itself but 1t dgess
other foods when taken directed.
SIeepless nights. spots before the eyes and a
of heaviness after eating, loss Of weight and
indigestion which 1t promptly relieves. and it is
gratifying to know that such positive and harm
less remedy the Digestive Cordial should have at
last been devised.
The common idea about consumption is that iseis
a lung trouble, but this is not all. Why is 1t that
the consunptive gets thinner and thinner until he
has wasted 10 a skeleton! Because the food he
eats does not noursh him. 1t is not digested.
The first sign Of the appearance of consumption
Is growing thin, wasting; this is before the cough
before the expectoration. Stop the wasting and re-
covery will follow in the iIcipient stnges, and the
disease will be retarded in advanced cases. jy23

The Pensioners and Y. NJ. C. A. Teams
Try Conclusions.
The initial game of the new District
Amateur League was played yesterday at
Capitol Park before fair-sized crowd, and
resulted in victory for the Pension Office
nine by score Of IL to 8. A little delay
was caused by the non-appearance of Boil
way and Wright of the Pensioners. but
Capt Jeager put in two of his substitutes.
and game was called little after 5 o'clock
Both teams scored in the first inning, but
after that the pitchers settled down, and
some sharp playing resulted. The Pen
sioners took the lead, and twice the Y. M.
c. A. managed TO tie the score, but hits by
Bell, Chapman and Harris in the ninth
inning scored two runs. that settled the
game in favor of the Pension Office. For
the Pensioners Bell, Harris and Raab did
the star playing, especially Bell, who made
a long running catch from short to center
field. Dalton and Carr Of the Y. NJ c. A.
distinguished themselves by some very
pretty plays. The double umpire system
was tried, and worked satisfactorily.
This Is the first game the Y. NJ c. A. have
played this season, but they put up pretty
stiff game with Capt. Jeager's men, and
had them chasing the leather quite fire.

At the start the Vigilant was stopped by

but the Defender did not give in to her.
She hoisted a protest flag. Up to late
hour at night the committee had posted no
bulletin in the New York Club concerning
their proposed action on the protest of the
Vigilant. The general idea is that Mr..
Willard only went through technical form
in h"isting his protest flag, and will not
claim the $500 cup unless the Vigilant has
another toy and wins 1t.
