A Boothlaek Trust

The bootblack has determined to as
,ers himself and struggle for his rights
Individually. he says ne has many
grievances which he hopes to have rech-
fied collectively. In the near future the
boo.blacks Of Greater New York hope to
become o power for their own good
The Bootblacks' Protective League
has already been organized, and, ac'
cording to the statement Of its presi'
dent is already in flourish
ing condition. The membership. he
said. ia now 500. 1t is hoped to make
IL ton times that number in a short
time. and to put on firm basis a pro-
posed scale of prices for various kinds
Of "shines.
II the organization can accomplish
its purpose the days Of the small boy
bootblack. who polishes shoes for from
ITO 8 cents, is numbered. The union
men are going to try and drive him out
of business. They want no one who
lie not sixteen years old in the trade
Circulars containing set OF resolu'
tions adopted by the league have been
printed in English and Italian. They
win be sent to every bootblack in New
York city with an invitation to join
the league.
81 think il is time that the boot
black trade should be recognized, said
Oaggiano, its President. 1T is our
purpose to organize branch OF our
league in every assembly district in
Greater New York We want to have
uniform prices established throughout
the city and the practice OF free shines
and polishes' in shoes stopped.
lin most ali of the large shoe stores
q free bootblack stand is placed. That
helps take the bread and butter out OF
our mouths We want these free stands
licensed whether on the streets or inside
Of the barber shops. ferries, station.
clubs, shops and steamboats,. The pres
emit license Of s. for a street bootblack
stand is too high and we want 1t re-
duced.
1T is not the intention Of the league
to hurt the wandering bootblack Of the
street. He must, however be an artist
and charge at least cents for shine
and 10 cents for a polish. Boys under
sixteen years old are to be debarred
from membership in the league
I'VE mean to make ourselves felt

Henry T. Oxnard, president Of tho
American Beet Sugar Association, at
San Francisco. Gal has prepared re-
ply to II o. Havemeyer's recent argu
ment before the industrial commission
at Washington lie fatty denies many
of Mr. Havemeyers statements, and
accuses that gentleman Of seeking to
destroy the American beet sugar Indus
try in order to foster the retneries that
handle foreign raw material, besides
attempting to divert public attention
from the sugar trust by attacking the
tariff
In his statement Mr.. Oxnard says
THE two largest TN fact, the pioneer
trusts in the country-as every one
knows, are the standard oil and sugar
trnsts. The Standard Oh Company
does not enjoy it's monopoly from the
tariff, and the American Sugar Rein
ing Company. according to Mr. Have.

There Is no trust among the sugar
producers Of this country and there

the beet sugar industry can be started

In conclusion, he says: a will not

sugar refining interests which he rep.
resents, but do assert that he cannot

right. for the tariff has nothing to do

A Syndicate Of Beggars.

Detectives last week in New YorE
sS.ty arrested two one-legged beggars
who were soliciting aims. One Of them,
who gave the name Of William Smith
was recognized as aprofessional begRar,
whose real name is William Siebel.
The other maR said that his name was
George Allen. Both were young and
we'll dressed, and to all appearances
perfectly able to work, in spite of their
lack Of limb apiece.
In the last fortnight the same de.
tectives have arrested three other beg
gars, who gave the same address, and
this fact led them to investigate, with
the result, that they have discovered,
what they have long suspected, that
there exists in New York city a syndi-
cate Of professional beggars, which has
its headquarters at the Monroe Street
house. A man named Burns, who lives
in Brooklyn, is at the head Of the syndi-
cate. He employs constantly from ten
