ATHLETIC STANDING QUESTIONED

London, July A despatch from New

Mr.. Hobau explained to the board in de-
tail the charges made in his affidavit.
City Engineer Rundlett, who was pres
ent, and Hoban had several warm argu-
ments over the statements made by Ho-
ban. The city engineer contending that
ell Of the charges made by Hoban re-a
garding the laying of foundations con-
trary to specifications, were from OBJ
servation rather than from personal
knowledge of the facts in the case.
This was denied by Hoban, who said
IT he did not know himself he could pro-
duce witnesses who would prove his
statements. He also claimed that the
best proof that his statements were true
would be to go to the points mentioned
in his charges and examine the walks
and dig up portions to see If the founda-
tions were not laid of improper ma
terials.
Samples of foundations which were
said to have been taken from various
walks laid by other firms than the ST.
Paul Sidewalk company were presented
by Hoban.
The investigation will be resumed this
morning at 10 o'clock, at which time In
spectors Hickey and Bantz will be given
an opportunity to explain the charges
made against them.

Labor Day Notes.

Supt. Smith, of the Twin City Rapid
Transit company, says that when the
picnic Of the ST. Paul trades and labor
assembly was held at Fort Smelling three
years ago over nine thousand passengers
were carried by the cars running to that
point.
A committee from the building trades
council have requested the labor day
committee to assign the several crafts
affiliated with that organization a sepa-
rate division in the parade on Monday,
Sept. 4.
Delegate McNally, Of the pressmen's s
union, at the recent meeting of the
trades and labor assembly, moved
that the Labor day committee be given
full power to act. The motion was
quickly seconded and carried unani-
mously.
The trades and labor assembly in the
parade on Monday, Sept. 4, will be headed
by band of twenty pieces. Up to date
the only other organization which has
secured music is the cigarmakers' union
OF all the answers so far received from
the circulars sent to the business houses
requesting them to close their doors
and give their employees an outing on
Labor day but four have been received,
which can be considered as unfavorable
The answers will be published weekly in
the official organ of the trades and labor
assembly.
The governor, mayor, county and city
officials will be invited to take part in
the parade and attend the picnic at Har-
ris' park on Labor day.
The committee on speakers-J. F. Krie-
ger, j. B. Morrison and Ed O'Connor-
are said to be favorable to the selection
Of home talent.

1t is an uncontradictable truth that no
other trades union in America has so
completely perfected its methods of doing
business and paying benefits as the cigar
makers organization. They are the orig
inators and principal promoters of the
union label idea. They elect their officers
BY a direct vote of the membership, each
and every member in good standing hav-
ing an opportunity to express his choice.
Legislation Of general Importance is rati-
fled or rejected by direct vote of the
membership. Instead of devcting two
thirds Of their time at conventions in
electing officers, they give their entire
time to legislative matters. They pay
strike, sick, death, travelling and out-of-
work benefits. During the nineteen years
ending with 1898 the union paid to its men,
bers benefits to the amount of 81, 0f5, ,463. 53
distributed as follows: Strike benefits
$6S7 ,S9154; sick benefits, 81 227 sos. .42; death
benefits, 1885, 7S9.49; travelling benefits,
$6l7, 794 So; out-of-work benefits, $S55, IT'S So
The local union keeps pace with those Of
other cities. Nothing is overlooked which
will advertise the blue label or which
will advance the interests Of it's members
Other organizations which have failed to
attain to the position occupied by the
cigaImakers might follow the methods of
this progressive union with profit to them

Must Await Attorneys Decision,
The assembly committee on streets at a.
meeting yesterday afternoon refused tba
Northwestern Telephone company per
mission to erect poles and string wires
on various streets for its Iong-distance
system until the corporation attorney
had decided as to the rights Of the com
pany to the use of the streets Assem-
blymen Albrecht and Benson held that
the other long distance and local tele-
: phone companies which had been grant
ed franchises to do business had agreed
to pay certain percentage of net earn
ings into the city treasury annually. and
before any more privileges were granted
to the Northwestern company some ar
rangements of a similar character should
be made.
c. D. OBrien, representing the COM
pany, said the franchise granted the
Northwestern company years ago pro-
Vloeed that the company could use the
streets to erect poles and string wires
the only restriction being that the conn
Gil must approve the route selected for
the hnes. He saw no reason why the an
phcatlon OF the company to improve its
1cng distance system should be met with
a question as to whether the comnanv
had a franchise from the city or not IF
that was to be considered it should not
be In connection with an application to
allow the company to improve its system
The committee, however, did not see the
matter in the same light as did Mr.
OBrien, and decided not TO act until the
corporation had given an opinion as to
the rights Of the company
The Hamltne street car ordinance was
also laid over with the understanding
that the alderman and assemblyman from
the Eighth ward would confer with Presi
cent Wheelock with a view to having
the route changed so as not to obstrucf
