large number of the bosses are employing
sailors who want little vacation ashore
and who will WORK on general house and
similar Jobs for very small wages. They
also employ mum Der of young boys to do
general painting, and they pay the lads as
little as possible. Speaking of the warlike
manifesto he said:
Yes it is warlike and we mean it-eyery
word and suggestion. We will stand by those
who will treat US fairly, but we have arrived
at that point that we will fight those who are
inclined to be oppressive. we can get all the
underbid the bosses on any KIM OF work that
they try to secure 1t will kill the trade we
sell know but in killing I IT we Will drive the
public viii get the benefit OF better work and
prices than ever before in the history of this
State. We can afford to give the architects and
builders higher percentages to help us secure
contracts than the bosses can stand. If the
HORSEPOWER will pay 10 or 20 per cent We will
wait longer for the balances than the painting
contractors usually wait. Moreover, we will
give better work for the money. At present
the bosses cotract to put on, say four coats
of first-class paint. instead they put on
only two or three coats of trashy stuff. There
are very few jobs done in this City but what
are 'tscamped," and the painter who dares TO
betray his employers erookedness is black
listed in every shop in this City. And the
people wonder why the paint blisters, beaches
and cracks until it looks like an alligator skin.
If it comes to a fight we Will show up the boss
painters and their methods.
In adopting this resolution it is not with the
idea OF making any money by fighting the
bosses but of driving them out of business SO
that in time a new order OF contractors may
come to the front We are not disposed to Be
unfair in this matter, but 1t is desperation that
| has driven us to take this step. We will again
invite the bosses to meet US in our meeting and
discuss the situation. We will let them pre-
sent any arguments and facts they desire, and
we will be fair in considering their words.
But as the case stands now, we will fight to the

A WOMAN ON THE JURY.
The Equal Suffrage Law i'm Colorado
Carried Into Force.

DENVER, April 21.-Although equal
suffrage has been in force in Colorado
for two years, the question of jury serv-
ice for women has been a mooted one,
and while women have been drawn for
jury service, the District Court Judges
invariably excused them. To-day
Judge Johnson decided that this prac-
tice was wrong, and accordingly when
Madam Warren, the fashionable Six
tenth street milliner, stated that she
had no reason to offer why she should
not serve as juror the court decided to
accept her.
The news of this action on the part
of Judge Johnson was not favorably re-
ceived by the other Judges of the court,
some of them declaring that q woman
could not sit as juror in their divisions.
Judge Johnson won fame not long ago
by a court order compelling women to
remove their hats in the Taber Opera

BARON HIRSCH
Dies From Stroke of Apoplexy at
Presburg, Hungary.

VIENNA, April 21-Baron Maurice
de Hirsch, the great financier and
philanthropist, died last night on his
estate at Presburg, Hungary, from a
stroke of apoplexy.
Baron Maurice de Hirsch, whose full
name was Maurice de Hirsch de Ge-
reuth, was born in Munich sixty three
years ago. His father was merchant
in Bavaria, who for services rendered
to the State was ennobled in 1869
Young Hirsch went into business at
the age of II, associating himself with
the European banking house OF Bis
chofsheim & Goldsmith Before long
his capacity as a financier became evil
dent, his moderate patrimony soon
doubled itself, and his personal inf1u-
ence was greatly increased by a matri-
monial alliance with Mile. Bischoff-
sheim, daughter Of the head Of the
banking house with which he was as
sociated.
He was the first to plan the system
Of railways leading from Buda Pest.
in Hungary, to Varna on the Black
Sea. In 1866 the commercial collapse
OF NJ. La Grand Dumonceau, which
shook the money world Of Belgium to
its foundations, gave him his oppor-
tunity. He secured the most valuable
OF the assets, including the Turkish
railways and by his valuable ma
nipulation of them built up in a quar-
ter of a century a fortune which equals
that of the Rothchilds
No man who has acquired such vast
riches has ever used them to better
purpose. His charities in Austria and
Germany are innumerabe, and his
scheme for transplanting his unfor-
tunate Russian co-religionists to South
America cost what an ordinary person
would consider colossal fortune. In
Egypt and European and Asiatic Tur-
key many schools, educational and in
dustrial, were founded and maintained
by the Baron.
The Baron was particularly fond of
the sports of the turf, and ne main
tained large racing stables. His prin-
cipal residence of late years was Paris.
