HOW OUR PINS ARE MADE.
Much Labor Is Required to Prepare

Much Labor Is Required to Prepare
the Little Stickers for Marketv
To complete a pin it has to go through
many hands. 1t is a very delicate arti-
Gle to handle, and the cost of building
the machines to make 1T Is the greatest
outlay. The wire from which pins are
manufactured is specially prepared and
comes to the factory on large reels very
much like gigantic cotton spools. The
wire Is first turned through eight or ten
little copper rollers. This is to get all
the bend and kink out of 1t; In other
words, to s~traighten it perfectly. After
this operation it Is once more wound
on a very large reel, which Is attached
to the machine that makes the pins.
One of these machines makes 5000 pins
an hour, and some large factories will
often have thirty or forty machi1es at
work at one time. After the pins are
released from the grip of this machine
they aae given a bath of sulphuric acid.
This removes all the grease and the
dirt from them.
Then they are placed in a tub or bar-
rel of sawdust. Pins and sawdust are
mex taken together from the barrel and
allowed to fall in a steady stream
through a strong air blast, which sep
arates the sawdust from the pins. But
as yet they are pointless, and pins with
out points would not be of much use.
In order to point them they are carried
On an endless grooved belt, which
passes a set Of rapidly moving files.
This points them roughly, and after be.
ing passed between two grinding
wheels and forced against a rapidly
moving band faced with emery cloth
they are dipped in a polishing tub OF
oil. This latter is a large, slowly re.
yolving ~copper-lined tub, which is tilt.
ed at an agile of about 40 degrees. AS
this revolves the points keep sliding
down the smooth copper to the lower
side, and owing to the constant friction
against the copper and each other re-
ceive a brilliant polish and finish.
They go mex to the sticker, where
they fall from a hopper on an inclined
plane, in which are a number Of slits.
The pins catch in these Sits and, hang
ing by their heads, slide down into an
apparatus which inserts them in the

formance of the service required, and had

the day; they We're there. ready, willing
and able fully to comply with their part of
the contract. when order from the chief
executive of the nation directs that the place
in which the work is going on shall be
closed and work therein stopped for the
day. 1t would be most unreasonable to say
that these employees could have gone else
where and obtained employment for the re-
mainder of the day after the closing Of the
government workshop Under such cir
cumStanceS. not only the law but every
principle of justice and fair dealing would
entitle these employees to a full per diem
1t would be rather a severe commentary
upon the patriotism of the nation if, when
the President of the United States directs
by his executive order that tributes of honor
be paid to the memories of the noble men
who lost their lives in their cOuntry's SER
vice. the expense of such tributes should fall
upon the mechanics and laborerS in the
government service. 1t seems to me that
II would be q harsh rule to require any en-
ployeS Of the government to be deprived of
their wages during the temporary suspen-
sion of actual work in the departments in
obedience TO executive order of the Pres
ident issued under the circumstances of
the order i'll this case.
Precedents Cited.
Accompanying your letter is an opinion
of the judge advocate general of the navy,
citing the following precedents for allowing
the employees at the Washington navy yard
full pay wnen the navy yard has been
closed by executive order:
August s. 1885,, on the occasion of the
funeral of Gen. Grant; entire day.
September l., 1887, date of unwilling of
Garfield statue one-haIf day.
August II, 1855 upon the occasion of the
funeral of Gen. Sheridan; entire day.
December Il, 1891, date of funeral of Ad-
n iral Porter one-half day.
September 20 1892. twenty sixth national
encampment of the Grand Army of the Re
public; entire day.
October u, 1892 that day being a gen.
eral holiday; entire day.
december 81. 1898, the occasion of the
funeral of Senator Lot NJ. Morrill,; one-haIf
day.
1T is my opinion. therefore, that the per
diem employees at the Washington navy
yard on the 9th day of April, 1899, should
be allowed and paid for the day. and that
their compensation should not be dfmin-
ished for the part of The day in which the
navy yard was closed under the executive
order of the President. | am confirmed in
this opinion by the custom indica ted by the
foregoing presidents which seems to nave

Response to Complaint Respecting a
Patrol Box.

E. c. Cats and others, who complained
to the District Commissioners against the
patrol box located on 18th street between
and G streets southeast, and who asked
that it be removed to Navy place, stating
that they are frequently compelled to listen
to vile oaths and indecent language uttered
by the negroes who are taken to the box
when arrested, or retire within their homes
to avoid the nuisance, have been informed
that the box must remain where it is for
the present.
Lieut.. Gessford of the fifth precinct, to
whom the matter was referred. reported
that the box Is great convenience to the
police department in its present location
and that it is used for white as well as col
ored prisoners He said that If it were
placed in Navy place it would not only be
difficult of approach, but would endanger
the lives of policemen who make arrests.
and who would be forced to carry their
prisoners to the box in the alley The box
will be moved as soon as the department
can find way to relieve the neighborhood
of its presence.

The Negroes Future.

Despite these occasional ebullitions of
racial prejudice, l am not apprehensive
about the future of the negro on this soil.
He is rising and developing rusgedness of
character by the very sternness Of the con-
ditions he is forced to undergo. The black
man has an abiding faith in the generosity
and fairness of the high-grade white man.
and ne is willing to trust his case to them
There has always existed between the two
races in the southland peculiarly friendly
relations. and We are satisfied that the con-
trolling factors of that great section will
not permit political differences to over
master their well-grounded sense of justice
in settling these difficulties, although the
negro has seen fit in most instances to cast
his lot politically against them. / have al
ways contended that the far-Seeing white
man places the material development and
social happiness and peace of our promising
section on a higher basis than mere politics.
and l do not believe he Will permit greed
for office to stand in the light of his ad-
yancing civilization or mar the reputation
of his home community in the eyes of the
people of the nation MIR. Daniels very
forcibly expresses this thought in his mas
terly editorial. and the grand work he is
doing is certain to bear fruit.
There is every reason to take nope from
the signs of the times. From the very ag
gressiveness of the criminal elements of
the country will come their own undoing
for the moral and religious instincts of the
age have risen in indignant revolt The su-
premacy of the law must be maintained
and all good citizens are pledged to battle
for it. l have always believed that deep
down in the American heart there is
stratum of fair play. love of right, and a
wholesome fear of the wrath of God, and
when We see hundreds of new friends COM
ing to US daily, and the American press all
over the land rallying to our defense, be-

Natives of the south.

Both of these deliverances come from
Eative-5Orn southern white men, and they
are rendered the more significant from the
fact that both are democrats and vigorous
partisans. They show that the educated
and wealthy classes of the south are de-
termlned t. protect the fair OF their
beloved country at any hazard, and that
their civilization from now must be gov
erned by lofty standards, set by themselves
that the brutal instincts of the MODS made
up of the low-bred and vicious must be held
in check. These men and their many SYM
pathizerS rightly believe that the problem
rests with the south itself since it is nearer
the seat of trouble. and consequently is
most painfully affected. When the Issue
is once settled by them 1t will be settled for
all time TO come.
1T goes without saying that the reputa-
BILE negro does not approve of lawessness
on the part of his own or any other people.
and would not at any time COndOne an Of
Tense against the peace and dignity of the
state He insists as rgidly as any other
citizen that crime. when duly established by
the courts, shall be punished to the limit
of the law. And l am certain that under
the circumstances a coiored criminal would
be as readily convicted by a colored jury
as by any other. The negro is friendly to
the enforcement of the law, for in ii lies
the protection of himself and the whole peo-
pie. | sorry that Gov. Gambler OF
Georgia went out of his way the other day
to inSinuate the contrary, and to that ex-
tent misrepresent the thrifty, industrious
and well-behaved members of our race.
