Yesterday morning the plasterers went
out on strike for an Increase OF wages.
They have been getting 81 a day. and
yesterday demanded 50. The bosses did
not pay much attention to the demands
of the men, and the latter refused to work
yesterday morning.
One OF the men stated that the bosses
had been requested by the union to hold
n conference with the men. but the bosses
did not show up AZ the Trades Assembly
hall the place set for the conference, and
the men considered their nOn-appeRrance
as a refusal to recognize the union. He
further stated also that the bosses favor
ed the reorganization OF the local union,
which collapsed about three years ago.
The union was set ON It's feet again last
January.
At the time the union was in force.
three years ago, the men received 81 80
per day, but six months after the union
collapsed the men were reduced TO s. ~.
and for over year they have been paid
s. per day.
There Is not a great deal OF work In the
building line this year. but the plasterers
have their share, and II the present trou-
bic should end in a prOtracted strike. 1t
will cause considerable delay TO other
building contractors.

NJ. Preston, OF Tennessee A large au-
dlence greeted the speakers. who np-
peared to great advantage. the Orations
all being OF very high order. Much In

universal satisfaction. First place was
awarded 10 Mr.. Charles VI. Preston, who

No contest has ever been held here In

FIVE OVERCOME BY GAS
MRS. MARLEY AND THE TODD chill
DREN HAVE A CLOSE CALL.
The House on Beacon street Filled
with Fumes of Natural Gas
stove Pipe Down.

What came near being a serious case Of
asphyxiation happened last night at the
home of j. l.. Todd, No. IL Beacon street.
Mrs. Marley, who is Mrs. Todd's sister. and
the four Todd children had uncomfort-
able experience which brought them within
the shadow of death.
Mr. and Mrs. Todd had gone over into
Haughville and left their four little chill
dren, aged, respectively, seven, five and
three years and sixteen months, in the care
of Mrs. Marley. In the living room at the
Todd house there is large stove in which
natural gas is used. Yesterday morning it
happened that the pipe Of the stove fell
down. and 1t was not thought necessary TO
replace it, AS a consequence there was no
way to carry off the escape gas. and the
house became filled with IL. Mrs. Marley
put the four children to bed early and then
retired herself. With the coming OF night
the gas pressure. OF course, became strong
er and the SleeperS were soon affected- MIS-.
Marley woke up TO find herself feeling ex-
tremeiy i'll and the children all complaining
of the same sensation. She was alarmed
and could not imagine what was the mat
ter She called q neighbor, who at once
notified the two patrolmen on that peat.
When they went to the house Mrs. Mar
ley let them i'm and then fell Immediately
men took in the situation at once and threw
open all the doors and windows. Or.
Deitch was sent for at once, ana When ne
arrived he confirmed the suspicion that the
woman and children were suffering from
the effects of escaping gas. He applied
restorativeS at once and soon had the
sufferers in good shape, nothing the worse
for their experience.

PRISON JOURNALISM.
1t VIII He Revfved-The Era Of ''JOe''
Bush.

ut Is the intention of Warden Hert when
things get into working order at the Re-
formatory, TO start a weekly newspaper
that will be edited and printed by prisoners.
The Prison South has had no newspaper
since Joe. Bush was released and his cele-
brated publication, Hot Drops was
suspended. Hot Drops was published
enthusiastically during the whole Of
Bushs term and was full of bright things
He printed il with pen and il liber-
ally illustrated by the same method. Some
times but one copy was printed and some
times many four. For cents worth
OF tobacco prisoner or guard was per-
mitted TO read IL, and for dimes worth he
could have the paper. 1t varied in size ac-
cording to how much the editor had To say
and was almost entirely devoted TO ''roa is. :
prison news. When Hinshaw arrived al the
prison ii was duly chronicled in Hot
Drops" with the consoling comment that
II Hinshaw were not guilty the editor or
Hot Drops" and Buggy" Little were with
him. and if guilty. all the rest of the prison
population were with him.
Bush did not spare the management any
more than any one else. While Patten was
in charge he endeavored To suppress the
sheet. but IL was circulated on the sly ana
the mean things il contained about Patten
would fill book. Bush was more friendly
to Warden Hert, but he also got one or two
sly pokes An order was issued at one time
requiring all prisoners to turn their money
in at the office, where IL would be kept for
them. None would be allowed to carry
money, the reason being that IL would IA
cilitate their escape, should they ever get
beyond the walls. This order was duly
chronicled in Hot Drops" with the head
ing, ''3 per cent wanted.
At the time Warden Hert was introducing
the reforms that have made the prison ia
nous and brought Deputy Warden Carver
from another State. the politicians of that
vicinity set up a great cry and there were
indignation meetings and resolutions and
things. The warden did not believe that IL
would help the discipline of the prison any
To let the convicts know that there a
war on the management from the outside
so he ordered all mention OF these matters
to be clipped from the numerous copies of
the Courier-Journal and other papers re-
ceived by the prisoners. When Hot
Drops next appeared there were two OF
three holes clipped in IL. with no other
comment than the assertion that mo Sec
ond-rate Democrat sheet could get ahead
of Hot DrOpS''

MR.. WHITE ON TRUSTS.
Col. InGcr~oIi Failed to Attend the
Progress Club Meeting.

Colonel IngersoI did not accept the inv-
regular Sunday afternoon meeting yesterday
and there was some disappointment at his
absence IL was announced that the meet
ing OF the club next Sunday will be the
last OF the season. John r. White. a men,
Der OF the Board of Public Safety under
the Denny administration. and before that
A member of the Council. spoke yesterday
on the evil influences of trusts and how
to counterfeit them. He regarded the trust
evil as an outgrowth Of the tendency TO
grant special privileges 10 corporations. the
failure TO require sufficient compensation
for grants OF public franchises and land
monopoly. For the latter evil he recon-
nends the single tax levy This IN an indi-
rect way would also cure corporate abuses
he thinks. particularly with reference to
corporations relying largely Tor speculative
benefits upon grants To the use OF public
highways. etc, inasmuch the single tax
applied To them would have the tendency
10 do away with fictitious values inflated
and watered stock and kindred evils. Mr.
White sees no particular danger in corpora
tons that are legitimate IN their operation
priscs out OF existence bat looks upon them
a. the inevitable result OF progress IN trade
lust as machinery is the result OF progress
ia Industrial life, and in his estimation il
g. no harder for small dealers To have TO
fade away before concentrated capital than
a * for labor TO have To succtmb before
advanced methods IN manufacturing indus
tries. What he does particularly deprecate
s. the influence OF those trusts that control
the natural products OF the soil coal. iron.
etc.
Mr.. Whites paper was followed By dis
Cussicn-
