LABOR TROUBLE ADJUSTED.
Brickiayers Return to Work on Gar
field Hospital Annex.

The trouble which has existed for several
days at Garfield Hospital owing to the
stoppasc of work by the union bricklayers
employed in the construction Of the annex
TO that institution, has been settled, and
the men returned to work this morning.
The difficulty arose from the employment
by the contractor of a bricklayer who was
not in sympathy with the local organiza-
ton As a result the union men employed
We're called off Tuesday of last week. The
contractor then, 1t Is said, made an attempt
to construct the building with ron-union
bricklaycrS, and ten of the latter were
brought from Baltimore. On their arrival
here Monday they were informed of the sit
uatiOfl. whereupon they promptly declined
TO take the places OF those who had been
previously called off. and We're returned 10
Baltimore at the expense of the Bricklay-
ers Union.
The matter was fully considered at q spe-
ciaI meeting of the Bricklayers' Union last
evening, at which the action of the execu-
tive committee in calling the members off
the structure was indorsal and the mem
bcrs Of the union who had been called off
We're directed to return to work. This ac-
Tion was taken by the union at the request
of the contractor, as he desired to employ
only union bricklayers.

writer OF the statement that the United
states government should compel the clerk
who is Indebted for rent provisions, medi-
ctnes for themselves or their children. etc.
to pay their debts. especially after 1udg-
ment is rendered and no question of Illegal
or unjust charge is made
Inc clerk, male or female who refuses
TO Pay his or her honest debts is dishonest
ana 1t is shame for the government 10
allow such dishonest people 10 hold gov
ernment positions. Can any sensible per-
son expect that a dishonest crploye will
act honest toward the government and do
his or her duties faithfully? Several
heads of bureaus have issued orders from

dinates To pay their debts. but in many
cases debtors, having influence a pulD.
such orders were in such cases not carried

A letter has been received from Liberty.

Spain and Her Lost Colonies.

A lecture on Spain and Her Lost Col
structor in history at the Central High
School, at the Central NJ p. Church, corner
of 18th and NJ streets northwest, last even-
ing. A large audience was present and the
applause that followed Mr.. Priests recital
showed warm appreciation for his efforts
The lecture was superby illustrated with a
series of $50 colored stereopticon views Of
scenes in Spain, the Philippines. Cuba Por-
10 Rico and the Canaries, some of which
were entirely new and have never been
shown here before. Mr. Priest gave q
graphic recital of the conditions which pre-
vailed in the colonies Of Spain previous to
their freedom from her rule, and recited
many instances that went to show the
greed and crime that characterized the
officials placed over these possessions Mr.
Priest then showed how all these condf-
tions would be changed under the benefi-
cent influence of the United States and
pointed out clearly and succlnctly that II
was the whole and plain duty of this coun-
try not to give over the Philippines again
to Spanish rule. He argued that 1t was
the moral obligation of this country to act
in the premises, and that Spain should not
be allowed to control even one small island
of the group after the peace conditions had
been agreed upon. Whatever there was of
mercenary motive in the retention of the
Islands should be made subordinate to this
the paramount reason, the moral obligation
of this country. Mr.. Priest was warmly
congratulated by many of his auditors at
the close of the lecture.
