TROUBLE IN EDISON SHOPS.
Boiler Makers Discharged Because of

the difficulty is not entirely over. sup
erintendent of Motive Power Hickey is on
the way from ST. Paul 10 settle the mat

The trouble arose among the boiler
makers. As is generally known, the
Puget Sound & Alaska Steamship Com
pany is owned by the Northern Pacific
railroad. The Puget Sound q Alaska
Steamship Company owns the steamer
City of Kingston. which lays over here
every Monday. Painting and repairing
aboard the boat has been generally done
by men from the car shops. Saturday last
Michael Dennis. one of the boiler makers
employed in the shops. was notified that
on Monday he must report aboard the
Kingston for the purpose OF doing work
on her boilers. The boiler makers in the
Edison shops draw pay at the rate of 27is
cents an hour, and work ten hours a day.
Marine boiler makers and repairers draw
nav at the rate of 35 cents an hour and
work nine hours day. There is a boiler
makers union. and this union is opposed
10 the lessening of the rate of wages.
Hence Mr.. Michael Dennis told the fore
Kingston unless he was paid at the mar
inc rate, namely, So cents an hour. The
company had intended that Mr.. Dennis
should work at the regular shop rate.
When Foreman Burr heard Mr. Dennis
refusal he discharged him Six other boil
er makers including two recently brough.
here from Sprague, and comprising all
the boiler makers in the shop, protested
and they, too, were notified 10 go TO the
office and draw their time. When the
matter was reported to the powers that

suspended.
As the matter now stands, everybody is
waiting for the arrival Of Superintendent
Hickey, who. IL is expected. will adjust
the entire difficulty. Affairs at the shops
are moving along all right. and a large
amount OF men are at work. but the seven
boiler makers arc ont. II is said the two
men from Sprague are broke" and are
being helped by the union.

in favor Of currency based upon land
values alone. He has discarded silver and
the sub-treasury plan, and writes that
he believes the chief trouble with the
country is interest, aud its twin evil, rent.
He calls attention 20 the fact that the
average rate of interest is per cent.
and states that the net average savings
of the people for the past forty years
have not been over 5 per cent. We are.
he continues, paying more than twice
as much for the use of the money we

conclusion that. giving all proper consider

been suggested, the people cannot recover
from their oppressive burdens OF debt eX-

at least by reducing the rate TO level
below that CT the permanent savings OF
the people. To abolish interest viii re-

SO just, SO easy of accomplishment and
so efficient as TO coin our land. issue
money based upon our wealth, and abolish
the business of issuing money by corpora

Mr. PETER said that he was glad TO see
the land money idea progressing in the
face of what he called "rabid metaliism."
He has declared against free coinage. and
will take the stump against it this fall.
