together, and by their united strength
won every battle.
Like most other labor organizations,
when first formed they were known as the
''ba rs-Sick-benefit-aSso The
first organization of this kind was per-
fected in 1883, with Mr.. W. B. Chnstman
president and Charles Bender secretary 1t
was about this time too, that the X of
l.. gained firm footbold in the city, and
the association was reorganiZed under the
name of Bakers Assembly, No. 1883, K
Of l.. It was several years after this. in
1890, that Local Union No. 11S, bakers
and confectioners, was organized and af-
filiated with the International Bakers
and Confectioners' Union. This was an
organization of trades unionists and was
originally composed of twenty-one mem
bers of Assembly No. 23S9, K. of L., who
withdrew by general consent of the as
sembly.
About the same time a number OF pie
bakers organized and applied for q char
ter To the national body. The charter was
granted, and for two years or more the
new union kept Hp constant strife. Their
charter was finally revoked and the mem
hers consolidated with the old union, No.
119.
1t was afte- decentralization justreferred
To that the first agreement was effected
between the K. OF l.. and union bakers. BY
which they would work in harmony in
all matters C liculatcd to advance the inter-
ests and better the condition of the bakers
or the city. The fusion Of interests hay-
ing been effected plan was arranged
to compel an increase OF wages and incl
dentally reduction in hours of labor. a
demand was made for q raise OF wages
from 81 8 per week to $40 per day, and

also the cutting off of the two extra hours
of work every Friday.
A s far back as 1887 ten hours had been
established as a days work, but the en-
ploycs of all local bakeries were compelled
to work twelve hours on Friday They
stood this for several years, and when the
combination was made by the local organ.
iZations of bakers to work for their mutual
interest, it was decided, when the increase
of wages was asked, to also demand the
adjustment of the extra hours on Fridays.
After some hesitation o n the part of the
bosses, the demands We're accorded, and
there has been no trouble on that score
since.
The first trouble between the bosses and
the employees was brought about by the
workmen claiming the right to room and
board where they pleased. 1t had been the
custom up TO the time of the organization
OF Union No. 1S for the bosses to lodge
and board all the employees.
This plan did not suit the dough makers,
who claimed that they were entitled to II
stipulated rate of wages. and to have the
privilege of Tnoming and boarding where
they chose. In connection with this it
was also claimed by the workmen that
they were compelled TO work longer hours
than would otherwise be the case. These
demands were also granted by the bosses
without any trouble.
About two years ago the bakers drivers
were organized into separate organiza-
ton, affiliated with the Knights OF Labor.
These, too. also work in harmony with the
breadmakers.

From Mr.. Alex. D. Anderson, who has
taken a prominent part in the promotion
OF Senator Cannon's project for gigantic
relief map Of the United States to be CON
struCted on a portion Of the newly
acquired Potomac Park grounds, The
Times has obtained many inteTestin facts.
The project was first moGted at the be
ginning Of the last Congress 10y Senator
Cannon, Of Utah, who introduced in the
Senate JOINT resolution providin 2 for the
appointment of a commission offive mem
bers Ito examine into and to report to
Congress upon the practicablity, ad-
Instability, and cost of establishing at or
near the City of Washington a ground map

scale of one square yard of map surface

aud that said commission is to serve with
out compensation
This resolution passed the Senate on
the 9th Of May last, and on June was
fayorably reported to the House by the
Committee on the Library. In their re-
port they say:
Your committee is Of opinion that a
great service will be rendered TO Official
knowledge Of the country and to popular
education by the work of such commission
embodied in a report to Congress, and
therefore recommends the passage of the
resolution.
Like hundreds or other nleritorious meas
ures, the resolution was not reached for a
hearing, and therefore went dead with the
session. 1t has just been reintr0duccd in
the Senate, however, and with ts acquired
stimulus there IS reason to believe it viii

The project is most timely one, for the
reason that the Potomac flats have Just

The employees Of the many large kakerics

park Of 2,2U0 acres.
The proposed park map of the United

III, IN the construction OF the park, the
vertical scale should be made 20 correspond
to the horizontal scale, the highest eleya-
ton of the Rocky Mountain range would
be but about three feet.
But to bring out more distinctly the re-
lief feature of the map, it is customary
to magnify the vertical scale. Hence, the
elevations of the Rocky Mountain range
can he made 6, 8, IL or l 8 or more feet.
That, however, is matter for scientists
to determine. In any event. the grading

An Object Lesson.
Thousands of school teachers and scholars
annually visit Washington for educational
purposes. The Smithsonian. museums. art

object lessons, and a constant attraction.
Many other classes Of excursionists mas

visitors is steadily increasing 1t is safe
to predict that the proposed relief park
