TROUBLE FOR BARoNDEss.
Accused by Commissioner Puwderly of Try
ing to Bring in Alien Contract Labor.

1CCuStu py eOUl Il o"utTly ol LEy-
ing to Bring in Alien Contract Labor.
Joseph Barondess. former leader Of tho
C~loakmakers' Union and still an active worker
at massmeetinGs OF garment workers. has got
into trouble with the labor leaders over a letter
which he is alleged to have sent to Immigra-
tion Commissioner Y. V. Powderly. This letter
apparently puts him on record as trying to
secure the admission into this country of an
alien. who swore he came over under contract
to work at less than half the wages usually paid
in his trade. The subject was brought up at
the meeting OF the Central Federated Union
yesterday by Delegate Warner of the Inter-
national Machinists' Union who submitted two
letters from Mr.. Powderly on the subject. Ono
was addressed to Warner as delegate OF the In
ternational Machinists' Union and the other TO
Mervyn Pratt. an officer of the Tin aud Sheet
Iron Workers Union. In the latter Mr.. Pow
derry says:

1t seems to me that a member OF a labor
organization should be the last one to assist in

Delegate Warner was asked in the letter to
forward the letter to Mcrvyn Pratt. which was
Enclosed to him, as the writer did not know

ment OF a committee to investigate the charge
against Barondess.

Some Of the delegates wanted to have Baron

solved that Barondess should be asked TO ey-
be supplied to Mr.. Powderly.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA. Feb. 5.-An order re-
ceived from Havana yesterday reducing the
salaries OF all the employees OF the civil gov
eminent 20 per cent. has caused much depres-
sion among both the Cubans and Americans
here. who vigorously protest against Governor
General Brooko's order. The Supreme Court
Judges will probably make an effort to secure
the continuance Of their former salaries. The
American clerks In tho departments say that
the cost of living here makes the reduction es-
peclally hard. The order is tho result OF Gen.
Brooke's recent request for the salary lists of
the province. and the salaries now to be paid
will very likely furnish the basis Of all the off,
cial salaries in the island.
Gen. Leonard Wood. military commander OF
this department. has returned from Washing
ton by way of Havana. He arrived a day earlier
than was expected. and the demonstration
that was planned for his arrival was prevented.
He held an informal reception in the palace
this morning. The Supreme Court attended in
n body. and most Of tho officers in the city
were present. Within the next two days the
proposed demonstration will be held. There
will be professions headed by regimental
bands. receptions and dinners.

Has Fun with Passengers I'm Brooklyn Troll
ley Cars.
Electricity played many pranks on Brooklyn
trolley car passengers yesterday. In many OF
the cars. owing to the wetness OF tho floors.
there was Il great deal Of leakage of electricity.
Passengers who wore rubbers were less trou-
bed with tho electricity than those who did
not. In one Fifth avenue car from Coney ISL
and it was impossible for any Of the passen-
gers to rest their feet on tho floor and they
presented n strange sight. each passenger sit
ting with his or. her ieet stuck out straight a
few inches from tho floor.
The ride from the island was long. and when
a tlrod passenger would attempt 10 rest his
feet IL would be. accompanied by many grim
noes and smOthered EXPLANATIONS. When
the depot at Twenty-third street and Fifth
avenue was reached thA car was changed for q
dry, one, but before the new car reached the
bridge 1t was as bad as the other.
