To the Editor of The Evening Star:
have read in your paper of July % the
statement of the chairman of the C. l.. L.
committee that labor union men on the
Metropolitan road were required to do two
or three times as much of a task as Is In
one mans power to perform. As the SUPER
fntendent Of the F street line 1 desire to
contradict this statement. The entire work
Is done under my immediate Supervision
and no distinction is made between one man
and another. l do not know who are the
union men and who are not. No man is set
a task that is not reasonable and proper
and which can readily be performed. An
instance is cited in the same statement
that it is the custom to assign three men to
detach a wheel from the trucks of a car,
and that under the express orders Of Presi-
dent Phillips one union man was reo,,ired
to do this work.
1 desire to pronounce this entire state
ment falsehood. No wheel has yet been
taken from car, nor has Mr.. Phillips
given any orders in regard to this or any
other matter Of detail. desire to contra
dict also the statement that a union man
while at work was told that the union scale
of wages was too high, and unless man
could do more work. SO as to make up for
the difference between the union and nom
union scale. he would have to give up his
place. There is no scale Of wages and no
distinction IS made between any one.
In regard to the two men who were dis
charged. and who claim that they were
electrical union workers., 1 reported one of
them to Mr.. Phillips being incompetent
to do his work. On that statement Mr..
Phillips authorized me to discharge him.
1t was not known either by myself or Mr.
Phillips whether this man was a union man
or not, nor was any inquiry made. The
other man who was discharged was not
only incompetent, but insubordinate. and
threatened an assault upon his superior.
discharged this man myself, and Mr.. Phil
lips did not know anything about it until
this morning.

Did Not Pay.

Elijah Chapman. a brawny colored man.
went to Sam Wah's laundry on AZ street
a couple of days ago and left his soiled
linen to be washed a la Chinese.
Sam rendered bill that amounted to 2S
cents. Elijah insisted that his last week g
wash was a larger one. but his bill was on
ly 16 cents then. He grabbed his linen,
laid 16 cents on the counter and then start
ed to run. Sam blew his police whistle
This angered Elijah, and he stopped long
enough to strike the Chinaman couple Of
times before he ran away.
Policeman Harries. who was in his house
near by, he ard the whistle and gave chase,
with the result that the colored man was a
prisoner in the Police Court this morning.
1t would have been better for Elijah II he
had not fought over the II cents involved,
for Judge Miller fined him S.

Military visitors to the Gonzaga College
fete last night were greatly in evidence
Troop A, headed by the Second Regiment
Band, and the Emmet Guard were the
guests Of honor, while the attendance Of
just ordinary people ran considerably over
the thousand mark The latter class were
filled with good spirits and cash, how
ever, and did not hesitate to get rid Of both
in the most approved fashion. The visitors
were welcomed by Father Gillespie in a.
short speech. Among the entertainment
features were a fine display Of fireworks
and fancy dancing by Miss Blanche Riley
and general dancing was indulged in on the
pavilion throughout the evening. The at
traction this evening will be a cake walk
in which eight couples will participate, al
though the regular display Of fireworks
will be made There seems to be no doubt
of the financial success of the fete and the
receipts already footed up do not go below
the management's expectations.

Harry Schneider (or Snyder was found
lying on one Of the railroad tracks last
night at the junction of the GleE Echo and
Tenleytown roads. When parties attempted
to raise him he fought desperately. It was
thought for a time that the man wanted to
end his life, and had lain down SO that a
car could run over him. A decided wrestle
with the man. though, developed the fact
that he was in the clutches Of fierce
spasm or epileptic fit. The rescuers had q
tremendous struggle with the afflicted man
He was brought to the station after awhile
He would say but little about himself. The
attempted suicide charge, though, was
stoutly denied. He was sent to the home
of his brother, Mr.. F. c. Snyder, at 35 New
York avenue
Mr. Snyder's attack greatly weakened
him. When brought to the station he was
in high state Of nervousness. 1t was
stated there by friends who were called uI
that Mr.. Snyder had been attacked similar
ly before. 1t has always been found neces-
sary to exert much force to subdue him to
a rational condition. The unfortunate man
is but twenty-three years Of age.

London Stock JObbers on the Situa

Mr.. Robinson Lappin has received the fol-
loving from his Edinburgh correspondents
under date 18th instant:
"Our jobbers in the American depart
ment of the London market wire as follows
this afternoon: Think plenty cheap plums
in Yankees, but fancy big men here in
states mean putting stocks lower to give
s:lvertes lesson We scarcely agree with
this view, though. Of course, 1t is quite pos
sible 1t may prove correct. but it appears
to us that there is not enough scope for a
at all effective. Nor do we believe the les
son is really needed. The good sense and
Judgment Of a nation such as the United
States OF America is not likely so far to
de sert it, when It's material interests are
threatened by a few noisy faddists, as to
stand in need of any such correctives."
