by Citizens.

Aoao improvements and Lights Asked
by Citizens.
At the meeting of tie Benning- Citizens
Association last evening plans were laid
Tor vigorous campaign for improvements
throughout the neighborhood.
The road committee made its report, and
on motion of Mr.. France the committee
vas instructed to see Maj. Moore and re-
quest him to enforce the law in reference
to the driving of cattle and other live
stock over the Benning road during the
daytime.
Chairman Leech of the health committee
reported the health Of the village very
coed. Mr.. Keyser said that several people
in the neighbo.hood had suffered for want
of proper medical attention, and he thought
an effort should be made to have a doctor
to the poor appointed from among the
number of resident physicians in Benning.
DIR. Brayshaw said he understood the poor
people about Benning were dependent upon
a physician to the poor from Anacostia.
After further discussion 1t was. on motion
or Mr.. Keyser, ordered that the health
committee endeavor to have a physician
to the poor appointed for Benning and
vicinity.
Under the head of new business, Mr..
Keyser thought the road committee should
see about having the bitches cleaned out.
Secretary France said the bitches We're in
bad condition, and that to his knowledge
nothing has been done to them for more
than year. Prof. Voorhees, spoke Of the
roads about Benning as being hedged in
ty tall weeds, blackberry vines and all
kinds of shrubs, and he thought it about
time something was done He said the
Commissioners were. in his opinion, vast
ing lots Of good money in patching up the
roads and leaving the cutters untouched
Fir ally the matter was referred to the
road committee for action.
Dr. Leech brought up the subject of light
Ing the road from the bridge out, and after
a iergthy discussion the lights and side
" alks committee was Instructed to begin
an immediate fight for lights.
Rev. John France of Wilmington, Del,
made an interesting speech, in which he
said he was pleased with the appearance
of Benning in the summer time. He said
he hoped the association would continue
to fight for improvements until everything
needed was secured. He expressed surprise
that the District. with a greater population
than the state of Delaware, had no repre-
sertati ir Congress.

An Accident 10 an Electric Motor
Plow Stops Downtown Traffic.
Traffic on the avenue branch Of the Wash
ington and Georgetown road and the 9th
street electric line of the Metropolitan

hours yestc rday evening on account of a

the 9th street system was going northwest
across Pennsylvania avenue about 6 O'Clock,
there was sudden and alarming electrical
display as 1t went over the cable car
tracks. followed by the car coming to a
standstill. Investigation developed that the
pillow of the electric car, which extends
downward. like a cable grip, through the
slot and takes the electric current from
the tracks in the conduit. had struck the
slot rail Of the cable road and been pulled
off.
After several Intellectual attempts to re-
move 1t had been made. the mechanical
forces of the two companies were called on,
and after much difficulty the plow. which
had been badly twisted, was cut out piece
meal. and traffic resumed. During the trou-
BILE the navy yard cable was stopped. and
all cars on the Georgetown and 14th street
lines were switched at 14th street and the
avenue, SO that people living in the western
and northern sections might be carried in
and out of the business section.

Contractors Asked to Lay Floors.

Superintendent Kinsey of the new post
office building has written to Thorp &
Bond, contractors forrthe iron work on the
building, requesting that they at once pro-
vide temporary floors or some other suf-
icient security for the safety Of the men
working for them on the building
The supervising architect has consid-
cred this case and has decided that
he has no authority to expeni mon
ey to provide the temporary flooring,
holding that it was the duty of the con-
tractors to make provision against dan
ger. 1t is thought the contractors will
order the flooring called for at once, as
by so doing they will relieve the men from
fear and thereby expedite their work.

An Effort to Strengthen Their Nm.
tiOhal Association.
The matter Of the selection Of place for
holding the next convention of the National
Brotherhood Of Electrical Workers having
been, as already stated in The Star, settled
in favor of Washington, the leading men Of
the order throughout the country are dis
cussing the topics of general interest which
will be brought up for consideration during
the convention. A communication to a
member of the Washington union, one Of
the most influential Of the leaders. says:
LAS the time for holding our convention
approaches we should consider where we
can make improvements in our constitution
and laws. We should look carefully into
the methods of older and successful or
CARNATIONS and profit by their experience
The financial system Of an organization has
more to do with its success than any other
feature. for on this depends the payment of
sick and death benefits and the sinews of
war when arbitration fails.
"Our unions should study the financial
system of the different labor organizations
and instruct their delegates to the next
convention on this subject.
The cigar makers, who are probably re-
ceiving greater benefits from their or
ganizaticn than the members of any other
organization in the United States. never
allow their sinking fund to fall below $40
per member. and now have 100000 in this
fund, but the cigar makers learned years
ago that they could not get something for
nothing and taught the members that If
they expected benefits from the union they
must support 1t literally.
The dues in the Cigar Makers Interna-
tional Union are % cents per week. There
are also two regular assessments of 80
cents each-one for the official paper of the
order and the other for the blue label. In
addition to this. the locals have several
assessments each year for local advertis-
ing and to keep the funds of the local up to
a certain point.
1T costs each cigar maker about SIS
year to belong to the union. When the
cial system they were run down to a very
low point and had only five or six unions
with probably not 1000 members all told"
