MEN AND MANUFACTURERS CONFER.
A Settlement of the Shoe Strike in Brock
ton Possible.

Brockton, Mass, September 19.-The
conference of the manufacturers and the
lasters which was called for o'clock this
afternoon was a little slow in getting to
work and at late hour tonight it is still
in session. Messrs. Z. D. Berry of T.
D. Berry & Co., John f. Kent of M. A.
Packard & Co., and Charles III. Foster
of Howard & Foster, the representatives
of the manufacturers, went to Boston
this forenoon, and returned shortly af-
ter noon with Treasurer Shaw of the
Chase Lasting Machine Co. After dinner
they were joined by Secretary Williams of
the Lasters' Union 80, and the parties at
once went into secret session.
Shaw claims that the statement that
the lasters' fight is solely against the
Chase Machine company, and not against
the apufacturers at all, is untrue, and
says that rs per cent of the men have
been friendly to him.
This afternoon the Central Labor Union
held meeting and passed resolutions
condemning the Chase Lasting Machine
company's action and expressing SYM
pathy with the lasters.
| The sole fasteners also held meeting
] this afternoon, union and non-union
delegates being present from nearly every
town between Boston and Middleboro.
The result of their deliberations was kept
secret. 1t is understood that plans were
discussed for inducing the sole fasteners
at 7. D. Berry & Co. s shop to come out
again, this shop having been struck dur
| ing the past summer.
| No Agreement Reached.
| Brockton, Mass. September 19.-The
conference between the committee of
manufacturers, Treasurer Shaw of the
Chase Lasting machine company and
Secretary Williams of the Lasters' union,
was not concluded till after o'clock
| tonight. Secretary Williams then took
the propositions of the manufacturers
to the meeting of the union which was
| in session at the unions headquarters
where they were laid before the members
and discussed for nearly two hours.
At the end of that time the secretary
announced that they had been rejected,
but he would give no intimation as to
| the nature of the proposition that had
been submitted by either side.

ners Sunday.
Hazleton, Pa, September 1S.-With the
exception Of few minor disturbances
the day passed off quietly in the strike
district. In the morning couple of
drunken English speaking miners set up
on small band of foreigners with clubs.
The attack was seen by squad of the
18th regiment who stopped the disturb
ance, but they were no sooner out of sight
when it was renewed. Signals to the
effect reached the camp and a company
was sent over. They captured the ring
leader and took him back with them He
pleaded drunkenness with no vicious in
tent, and was set free on the promise of
good behavior.
The house of Jacob Dodge, who was one
of the deputy sheriffs of last weeks en-
counter, was enteredsby Italian strikers at
Lattimer early this morning. They did
not find him and left without attempting
any destruction in the house.
McAdoo, the scene of the disturbances
Of yesterday and Thursday was quieted
today by the invasion of squadron of
cavalry. In their presence the three hun
dred employees of the Star, Carson and
Monarch collieries, who were driven out
by the women, returned to work. There
was no disturbance further than the hoot-
| ing of the soldiers by the crowds of
strikers.
Calvin Pardee declared today that the
Lattimer mines would be started up on
Monday morning and all miners who
failed TO report for work would be dis
charged.
The men at Coxe's Drifton mines who
are now working, are to settle the question
of going out on Monday, and those at

causes of the strike.
| A point of law cropped out today. A
constable went to the ninth regiment
with subpoenaes for two men who are
wanted as witnesses in Pittston homi-
eide case next Monday. Col. Daugherty
refused to permit the writs to be served
| and recourse was had to Gen. Goblin. The
general said that as warrants from a
court of justice they should be respected,
and allowed the men to be taken. Fol-
lowing this precedent, the prosecution
will attempt to arrest the sheriff and
deputies on warrants from court instead
Of from a magistrate as was originally
done.

Yesterday.
Hazleton, Pa, September 19.-Abso-
lutte quiet prevailedsin the entire strike
district today. Vice President Mcguire
of the Federation of Labor, left for
Washington to attend the meeting of the
executive council, which is to consider
the situation, and George Chace, of the
United States labor league, went to
Scranton for a similar meeting of labor
men there. The only movements among
the military were the practice rides of
squadrons Of the governors and city
troops and the afternoon dress parade.
Tomorrow is looked forward to as de-
cisive day. An attempt will be made to
resume at Latimer where there are 1900
men and at Audensreid. There are nearly
250O men at the latter place and they were
the first to go out. Many of them want
to return to work, but bands of women
have prevented them during the past few
days. To insure protection squadron
of cavalry and the entire eighth regiment
will go to the scene.
q The men at Coxe's drifton are also
to decide tomorrow upon staying out
or continuing at work. ALL these places
will be well guarded by troops and if the
men are peacefully permitted to resume
work, 1t is thought that the backbone of
the strike will be broken and no further
violence will result. The coroner's in
quest will begin on Wednesday afternoon,
instead of Thursday as at first intended.

during which period the dances
we're played for by some of the
guests themselves on the piano, as
the musicians refused their services
until race prejudice was broken, for
they sadly missed the graceful forms
Of the dark. eyed beauties Of Hawaii
mel. At last John o. Dominis,
Frank Pratt, Henry Carter, Barlow
and many other leaders OF Toe dance
at that period refused to attend
another dance until race prejudice,
the egg of this oligarchy, WAS buried
out Of sight, and the brown beauties
again allowed to grace with their
presence the halls OF the festive
dance. Thus died race prejudice.
But since 1898, race prejudice 10
again to the front, and has been
growing ever since. Hundreds of
lying letters have been sent to the
United States for the purpose of
blackening the character Of Hawai-
ians in order to justify in the minds
of the American people, tho hellish
acts OF the pious frauds who robbed
nation. And none are better ac-
quainted with the above facts than
the Star man himself. The watch
word Of the usurpers ia this: Damn
the kanaka, if he won't turn traitor
and curse his own Preside to our
satisfaction, crush him. And sad to
say, half dozen or so of traitorous
Benidiot Arnold kanakas, are found
mean enough. to kiss the foot that
kicks them. TRUTH.

Race Prejudices.
CD. The INDEPENDENT =

Ed. The INDEPENDENT -
Quietly and soothingly the Star
talks thus: "The aim OF a certain
class of royalists is to create race
prejudice if possible" Race preju-
dice brings out the worst elements
of human nature, and those who try
to arouse it are among the meanest
of mankind. Softly, there, Mr..
Star. For unknowingly you are
hitting your own gang straight from
the shoulder. For a number OF
years during the ffties, at all the
dances given by the elite Of Homo
lulu society, the bellies of those
dances as a whole unmistakably be-
longed to the pure Hawaiian and
part Hawaiian blocded ladies. In
about the year 1859, green-eyed
jealousy burst forth from the ranks
Of the lighter-skinned damsels
against their sisters OF the brown
skin. Tho frat dance given where
the color line reigned supreme was
at the newly finished Barlow auc
ton room on the corner of Queen
and Kaahumanu streets, now owned
by Mr., Theo, II. Davies. The race
prejudice reigned for about year,

Tariff
Vagariies

In the United States the Govern
ment allows rebate to the manu-
facturers on all agate ware shipped
out of the country. 1t is one of the
fine points in the tariff question,
and enables the foreign import ers to
compete with dealers in the United
States in the sale of these articles.
1t makes it possible for our Gus
toners to buy such goods from us
at lower prices than they can buy
them in San Francisco. The APP
pended list shows but few of the
articles in this line sold by us, and
where more than one price is graded
with the different sizes of the arti-
cles. In every instance you will OBJ
serve that our prices are much lower
than the same goods may be bought
for at the Coast. These prices are
taken from the catalogue of one of
the largest House Furnishing Goods
dealers in San Francisco; it is bona
fide, and the goods are identical in
quality as those advertised in the
catalogue. 1t is hard to believe that
the people of Honolulu--2,100 miles
from San Francisco-can buy such
goods for less money.
