ARMY NEWS.

REPORTED SPECIALLY Fob The LIGHT.
There was good Joke going the
rounds Of the Post on the baseball
umpire who umpired the first
games for the Clarks and Fort Sam
Houstons on Friday and Saturday
last, 1t appears that some of the
players objected to his decisions on
several occasions, the young fellow
lost his balance little and the sun
probably having some effect on his
cranuim he threatened to place the
first man who gave him any chin
in the guard house, the most
amusing part of the affair however
is, it is said, that on being inter-
viewed on the subject he said that
a certain lieutenant of infantry
told him when going on the field
to let him know the men who
questioned his decisions and he
would confine them, the story is
almost too ridiculous to be believed
but it is certainly circulating
around the garrison and is gener.
ally credited by the men.
Ii the story Is a true one it is safe
to say that softening of the brain
is not confined to people living on
the sea shore.
Captain Beck, Of the Tenth caval.
ry, the acting Indian agent of the
Winnebagos, denies the newspaper
reports OF the scene in his office
few days ago in the presence of the

There is no doubt that such a movement

From many well-known clergymen The
Times has Received letters encouraging aI:A
approving this project. These VIII be pub
Iished from time TO time.
Rev Howard Wilbur Ennis, the ener-
getic pastor OF the western Presbyterian
Church, writes that anything that seeks
TO legitimateIy place within the reach of
the masses those privileges which a wise
and benevolent Creator devised for their
welfare, but which circumstance and environ
nlent have pIecluded, is commendable and
worthy of support.
"a wider diffusion of knowledge by
such methods as the free libraries you
advocate" he says, would undoubtedly
tend toward a broader. more intelligent
public mind, vital need of the times"
Rev Mt Ennis is of opinion also that "a
free labor Intelligence bureau would doubt
less prove benefit not only TO the un-
employed, but indirectly to the community
at large: for employed minds seldom find
time or tendency TO take issue with es-
tablished social conditions and thus foment
anarchistic propaganda. Preventive meas
ures are vastly to be desired above those

BROTHERHOOD TAILORS OUT
Nine Thousand New York Garment
Makers Go on Strike
Claim That the Contractors Wished to
Scale and dReinstatementA Asked.

New York, July 2s.-The clothing makers
OF this city to-day foI the first time OBJ
served the American Sunday. They wereon
strike
Trouble has been brewing between the
tailoIs and the contractors for some time,
and to-day it eliminated in the general
strike of the workers which was 10 recasted
yesterday.
1t is claimed by the strikers that sixteen
thousand workers have responded to the
call of the United Brotherhood of Tailors,
and that not only this city, but Brooklyn,
Newark and Brownsville are affected.
The number out in this city is estimated
at nine thousand The United Brotherhood
of TailoIs had hoped that strike might
be avoided until September, when the
agreement for the year between the con-
tractors and workers would expire and
when work would naturally cease until
new agreement had been arranged
The workers say that the contractors
were not willing to wait, and that now
when theIe is plenty OF business they
wished TO force a strike. They say that
the contractors broke through the terms
OF The existing agreement when they re-
fused to pay theiI hands on the day speci-
lied, and that they, the better to insure
the success of theiI scheme to force a
strike. locked out several hundred OF their
employees.
The United Brotherhood insists that only
members of the brotherhood be employed,
they guaranteeing to furnish all the men
wanted; that they shall be required TO
work only fIfty-nine hours in the week
ten hours on all days, save Fridays, when
they snpulate for an hour less of work.
The contractors must also agree that
they VIII not make IL compulsory for an
enfploye to make q certain number OF gar
ments In a certain number of hours. This
is an entirely new clause rendered necessary,
1t is said, by the fact that the contractors,
while living up hitherto TO the number Of
hours agreed upon, practically robbed the
workers OF the benefits of the agreement
by compelling them TO do an impossible
amount or work in the stipulated time or
suffer in pocket.
The minimum wages demanded is for
operators, $15; hasters, $13, pressers, $40;
bushelers. $40: trimmers, SO; twsters, 50.
They also insist that all members OF the
brotherhood out be reinstated, and that
the represe natives OF the brotherhood
have access to the shops to investigate
grievances, aud so that the employees have
their due books" as proof Of their mem
berShip to the union.

THE sHYLoCKs vANoUIsHED.

The evident purpose of the authorities
to proceed against the Shylocks for vio-
Iaiing the pawnbrokers act is blow that
will put an end to their yiilainous calling
IN the District A few weeks since, when
The Times opened its campaign against
them, these thieving usurers were robbing
poor people without stunt or mercy. In
most instances they loaned money at about
300 per cent per annunl, and when victims
could no longer pay this ruInouS rate OF
interest their goods were sold as the last
act of a renlorseless system of robbery.
But Shylocks can no longer pluck helpless
men and women in Washington. In every
case where prosecution has been reSorted

PEELED to make restitution, and now if they
loan money at all it is under the rascally
cover OF a bill of sale 1t is to stop this

posed Workingmen's Loan Bureau. 1t is
reported that it viii be ready for business

There has been a very decided opposition

SUNDAY NEWSPAPERS.

A great deal has been written and said
FOR and against the sunday newspaper.
The discussion has been going on for years,
ana all the while the Sunday newspaper
has been growing bigger and better.
II has come 10 stay. This fact has
Just been forcibly realized in New England,
where Of all places the opposition TO 1t
has been the most intense; and whatis more
significant stil and has been emphasized
by churchnlen Of national reputation.
Instead Of railing at Sunday journalism
these gentlemen have determined to aid it
in being better and purer. and 10 make
it q greater power in Influencing good
citizenship and higher civilization.
3 With this end in view, there has just been
organized in Boston the Newspaper Sermon
Association, with an advisory board COM

Hodges, Dean Of the Cambridge Theological
School; Rev Edward Everett Hale, Rev.
Z A Horton, Dr. George Hepworth, Rev
James B. Werner, Robert Treat Paine,
Charles H. Taylor, John H. Holmes, and
william F. Harmon.
Its object is TO disseminate non -sectarian
and nou-doctunaI religious truths by the
aid OF Sunday newspapers, and TO quicken
among editors and publishers OF such papers
"a realization OF their possibilities and re-
sponsibIities in the spiritual and moral de-
yelopment Of their readers"
IT aims further to lessen church antag-
on.sm and to develop in the Christian
Church q greater willingness to use
newspapers as power for Christianity"
All editors with few exceptions. re-
allze the great power and influence welded
by them, and their aim has been TO use
il for the good OF the whole people. Their
grievance is that they have often been
opposed by church people, and held up 10
Opprobrium for the products or their pens
that appear on Sunday.
il is, therefore, pleasing news to them
that their hands are to be upheld by the
Christian Church, and that antagonism
will give place TO helpful cooperation.
