PAPER HANGERS MAY STRIKE.
JOurneymen to Ask q Restoration of
the Piece System.

eymen TO ASK Restoration of
the Piece System.
The Paper Hangers Protective Associa-
ton. at their meeting last night, determined
to present during the course Of the next
few days, a demand to their employers for
the restoration, September 2, of the piece
work system, which formerly was in vogue
here, but which, some time ago, was put
aside by the bosses, a weekly payment of
wages being substituted.
There are about 100 journeymen who be-
long to the association, and 1t is claimed
that these comprise nearly all, or quite all,
the paper hangers in the city.
Members of the Protective Association
say they have not reached the conclusion
arrived at last night hastily. The subject
has been discussed in all it's bearings for a
number Of months. Under the piece sys-
tenn, they say. 1T was possible for many
expert hands to earn IS and Sc day, while
the weekly wages system reduces them to
SIS per week.
of the association explained to Star re-
porter, would not be SO Objectionable If
there was employment for the men all the
year round. But it is rarely indeed that
work lasts until Christmas, and for the four
succeeding months there is nothing what
ever for the members of the craft to do at
their trade.
Under these circumstances 1t is claimed
u pe dpsoluleiy Hecessdiy, ao d ha e.ei ~
self protection to the journeymen. that the
piece work scale shall be restored at once
and the demand that this shall be done WILL
in day or two. be laid before the bosses
1t was originally intended to insist that
the change should be made when work be-
gan last spring. about April 1, but for var
ious reasons the presentation of the ulti-
matum was postponed until this time. If
the demand of the paper hangers Is re-
fused by the employers. 1t is said strike
will be ordered.
The men say they believe they will event
ually be successful.
Several new members were elected and
initiated Messrs H. ]. Wells and H. J.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
I rotice in The Star the fruitless search
in the archives Of the State Department for
sny facts bearing upon the ownership of
the Island of Trinidad. Had the searchers
looked into the Office of the NAVAL War
Records" they would have found the log
book of the c. s. cruiser Georgia, in which
they would find that she undoubtedly made
herself very much at home there; coaling
ship, burning and bonding American mer-
chantmen, stopping and searching neutrals,
etc. Now, neither I nor any one else ever
seriously contemplated the United States
laying claim to Trinidad as the successor
of the late confederacy, for the simple rea-
son that Great Britain never gave w any
piece Of ground without a fight, and our
four battle ships which are building won i
lot be exactly a match for her fifty or
sixty which are at sea.
What 1 maintain is that Great Britain
has no rights in Trinidad, Tor the shallow
of a claim to it, If she has. why did she
allow ar armed cruiser to lie IN one of
her ports. as the Georgia lay at Trinilad d,
and destroy in the port itself, few HIM
dred yards from shore, the vessel of a ma
ton with whom she was at peace?
You may ask, could she help herself?
Why, of course she could! The Georgia
when she left Trinidad, proceeded to a
British port at the Cape Of Good Hope. and
afterward entered the port of Liverpool;
nothing was said of her having violated
British neutrality at Trinidad!
The whole world knew at .ha. time what
use the Georgia had made of Trinidad. If
1t was British territory, why did they not
seize the little Georgia In Liverpool Eng
land does not roam around IN search of
useless islands. Trinidad. from its posi-
ton, If made into a naval station, would
control strategically the commerce of more
than half the world, besides being as much

The Negro Rapist.

The civilized world has been
made to shudder with horror at
the sickening details OF mobs in
the south wreaking vengeance
upon negro rapists, Our own state
has furnished three terrible ex.
amples Of mob violence; the burn
ing and torture OF the brute in the
presence OF the entire community.
These examples of brutal mob
violence have been set down to
the discredit OF our whole state,
and the justice of the vengeance
not credited to the people engaged.
1t has become law, while not
enacted in the code, but an in
flexible law, that the negro rapist
shall be dealt with by summary
means, and either burned at the
stake or strung to the neares
tree.
But notwithstanding these
terrible examples, the crime of
rape does not cease.
The subject is Of the gravest
moment. A whole race of people
are made to bear the odium OF the
crime; the state is powerless to
stop the mob; the law becomes
q mockery. The Nominations OF
an indignant governor, living at
a distance from the scene, are
puerile.
1t demands the services OF
statesmen,-it requires more pow
er than the restraints of the
church. The criminal code
should be revised. There is a pun.
ishment, if made law, might deter
the brute instinct. 1t deserves
consideration.
The people, when aroused to a
pitch OF frenzy, are a law unto
themselves. - National Liquor
Dealer.
