:IH sNOEMaKERs' PETITION.

The shoemnkers of the east are
petitionlng congress TO save them
from being thrown ont of work by
She Goodyear stitching machines.
These machines are being used to
till government con,rnc's for the
army and navy. The shoemakers
want congress to see to it that
hand made boots and shoes shall
be used instead of machIne mnd.
goods.
The shoemakers md all olher
laborers must find some other SOL
ution for the lnbor question than
that OF discarding machines. That
solution lies in discovering some
way by which all the people may
reap benefit from the use of la
Dor saving machines. Referring
to the Goodyear machines, the
Vinelani On. J.) Independent
says:
"A gigantic monopoly thrives
by it while hundreds of Ia
borers, many of whom are veteran
soldiers, will be turned ont in mid
winter to tramp while their fnmi.
lies suffer, and this by the neglect
of the government for which they
have fought, to see to It that they
are not displaced by soullcss ma
chimes operated to the interest
solely of the machine owners,
through royalty which they are
to receive on every pair of shoes
made by the machines.
1t is hard to realize that such
things can happen in this boasted
free nation of the world. The
facts are hard to believe, yet these
the figures:
"Our army of 100000 men re-
Qulres 100000 pairs of shoes an
nually. three pairs for each man:
the navy and extras will swell the
figures to about 100000 pairs. To
sew these shoes by hand would
employ 80 men the year around.
BY the use OF machines ten men
can sew them.
This is case for congressman
to look INTO and take immediate
action upon, more especially since
the further statement is that in the
city of Philadelphia alone there
ARE at present thousands of idle
men, practical shoemakers, who
wnnt and need work; more than
three times the number necessary
10 make all the shoes required an
nualIy for both the army and the
navy, by hand.
AT present it is known that there
is in process OF manufacture, by
machines, 1851 900 pairs of army
and navy shoes. The work is dis
iribnted in shops in Maine, Penn
sylvania and New Jersey, $4,000
pairs in Maine, 10000 in Pennsyl-
wanna and $4,000 pairs in New Jer.
scy. But congressman from every
state should be interested in tins
matter to the extent of seeing to
it that these men are not deprived
of their means of subsistence by
machine work.

GOSSIP OF THE GRIDIRoN.
Georgetown to Play the v. Nj. I. on
Thanksgiving Day.


During the past week rapid strides have
been made by the local football teams in
preparing for the coming contests on the
gridiron. The weather is well suited for
early football training and the players have
not been losing as much weight as they
usually do at this time of the year. The
question of the Thanksgiving Day game
is now definitely settled, as the Virginia
Military Institute team has accepted the
offer made them by the Georgetown College
and they will play the wearers Of the blue
and the grey in Washington on that day.
There has been some talk about the Lehigh
College and the University of Virginia
playing in this city on Thanksgiving Day,
but at the present time agreement has
been made to that effect. However. if this
match should be arranged 1t will make two
big games in the city ON that day. This
will undoubtedly be the spelling of both OF
the games as the attendance will be di-
vided. At Georgetown the players do not
think that the University of Virginia will
accept the offer which Lehigh has made
them. and if they do il will not affect the
Georgetown Virginia Military Institute
game, but will be to the disadvantage of
the out -of-town teams
The Georgetown varsity was very for
tunate in securing the services of Billy
Church. the old Princeton halfback, as a
coach for the team. Now that several of
the old last years team men have returned
the present team has been much improved,
and the students very hopeful OF put
ting out team that will eclipse that of
1898. Greene who was the crack end of
last year, made his appearance on the grid
iron the latter part of this week. His
playing the first day was exceedingly fine,
but since then he has been very stiff. Yes
