communicated to the Commissioners in q
letter. which reads as follows:
AT a meeting of District Assembly GO.
Knights of Labor, held on the 18th instant
resolutions were unanimously adopted pro-
testing against the action of your honorable
of the two new truck houses to outside con-
tractors. Being bona fide residents and
taxpayers of the District we feel that we
have just right for the chance to work
in all improvements made by the District
government in order to be able to pay our
taxes and to live. But when our rulers see
fit to award contracts to outside contrac-
tors, who bring their cheap labor with
Them 1t must be apparent to you that we
are deprived of an opportunity to work
when we are so entitled
Before the contract was awarded to Mr.,
Hughes it was discovered, as stated in The
Star several days ago, that his bids We're
informal. and their rejection at once fol-
lowed. The Commissioners have SO In
formed the District Assembly in a letter. in
which they also state that they are power-
side contractors, and that the law requires
that the proposal of the lowest responsible
bidder shall be accepted, regardless Of his
place of abode.

Way to End the War.
To the Editor Of The Evening STAR


In The Star Of yesterday you mention
editorially 1.-The two ways to end the war
one being for young anti-imperialists to en-
list under Otis, and the other for the old
anti-inlperialists to play the part of good
citizens" l. e., support the administration S
policy of continuing the war. That seems
to me an odd way to end war, and there
is another method which appears more eff
fective. The war would end at once If Otis
were directed to withdraw his troops with
missioners to Aguinaldo, and, as Otis be-
gan the fighting according to his own re-
port by firing first upon men who had been
his allies In conquering the Spanish army,
it seems but proper that he should take the
initiative in making overtures now. The
Filipinos would certainly make favorable
response Immediately. Do you not agree
with me that the best way to end a war
is to stop fighting? w. A. CROFFIJT.

that under the law in repairing or rebuilt l.
