sTEAMFTTTERS STRIKE.
Demand an Increase of wages for
JOurneyneE and Helpers.


steamftters and their helpers all over
town went on strike this morning for an
increase in wages. They demand an ad-
vance from 50 TO $3.50 a day for Journey
men. and from $50 TO 50 a day for the
helpers The bosses viii have a meeting
Friday night TO consider what action they
VIII take
The bosses seem to be taking the sItua-
tiOn philOsophieaily- There is little work
in our line just now" said one OF the
prominent contractors today
This is our dullest season, and The
rush VIII not commence until along in Sep
tember- All my jobs are in shape 10 wait
for a while, and I'm ready TO watch de-
velopments- We had known Of the move
menJ for increased wages for the past
thee months, and so we were not sur
prised on Saturday when notice came that
after July I the men would demand 81
and $50. For the most part there is
very little feeling between the bosses and
the strikers, although l know of -wO or
three men who have gone loco and
they won't get their jobs after the trouble
is settled.
1T has been the practice OF the bosses
and the union TO sign an agreement on the
first day OF each May which covers the
wage scale TO- the coming year Should
either side intend 20 demand a change in
the existing rates the practice has been
10 give six months notice prior TO May l.
That puts both sides Oh guard. The unions
this year did not give US the six months
notice As q consequence We were not
ready on the 1sI OF May when they pre-
sented their demands for an increase, as
al our contracts had been based on the
former prices
The bosses had not expected TO change
the scale before October l. We offered.
however. TO compromise on tie basis of
$500 for filters. and S1.60 for helpers. That
is the scale for which the Philadelphia
union is now striking The men here
however. would not accept it. The filters
probably would have been satisfied with
their advance. but the helpers kicked
against taking SLIGO. So the strike went
on
Il hope that we can get to an agree
ment. and l do not mean 90 bring in any
non-union men for the present at least
Practically every firm in town has been
employing union men, and we do not de-
sire 10 change. We were all working on
the eight-Sour basis, and SO FAR as l can
see the men were accomplishing as much
in that time as they did in nine hours"

The reports from Manila contain re-
cords of two court-martial cases-those
Of Capts. G. T. MacConneIl and ]. H
Backer. Forty-sixth Volunteer Infantry
The officers were charged with ignoring
the orders which prohibit the looting of
the natives residences. MacConnen was
acquitted, a result not approved by the de-
partment commander, Gen. Arthur Mac
Arthur. but Baeker was sentenced to a
reprimand.
The incidents occurred In Cavite. The
reviewing authority, commenting on Mac
ConnelPs case and referring especially to
the order prohibiting looting. says:
THE order as set forth in evidence, ap-
pears to have been an eminently proper
one and the necessity for It's enforcement
fully recognized by the battalion command
er, who issued IT, Certain testimony 10 the
effect that the battalion commander did
not intend the order to be obeyed is be-
lieyed 10 be without substantial foundation
as a reflection upon that officer. and under
the circumstances such testimony cannot
properly serve to excuse an oficer who
fails to take all necessary precautions TO
prevent abuses and thus carry out the
spirit OF orders on the subject.
If an eXigency arises requiring that
houses be entered and searched positive
precautionary orders should be given on
the spot and the duty carefully conducted
and rigidly supervised by officers and Sc
lected nOn-eommissioned officers, to pre-
vent lOoting and other disorders, and upon
the slightest indication OF neglect and dis
obedience prompt action should be taken to
make reparstion TO the injured party and
bring the guilty to punishment. In this
case it appears that no such positive warn
ing was given to the men before entering
the town. and the omission to take some
extra preeaution-whether due TO forget
fulness or Indifference is immaterial-man-
ifestly resulted In one or more houses of
the peaceful natives being looted and in
absolute failure TO detect and punish the
perpetrators OF the crime"

Wha. Prosperity Does for PENNSYLVANIA.

According to the annual report of the
factory inspector of Pennsylvania,
there We're employed in the mills and
factories of Pennsylvania on October
Il, 1899, 1928, 900 more persons than were
employed at the same period in 1895;
293, 9l5 more than were employed in
1897, and 1872, POT more than We're 4
ployed in 1898. Wages advanced all
along the line, in some cases 40 per
cent, while the demand for labor ex-
ceeded the supply. In three years there
has been added to the army of wage
earners in Pennsylvania a body of ar
tisans almost as large as the entire pop
ulatlon of Vermont. far greater than
the population of Montana. and more
thar equal to the combined population
of Arizona, Nevada, Wyoming and
Alaska. The products of this industrial
army are penetrating markets hitherto
monopolized by European enterprise;
and the result at home is activity and
thrift, such as We're never known.

The readiness of the departments to
have every document and all corre-
spondence with regard to treasury do
ings, the conduct of the war, and other
matters inspected by the opposition
party, is likely to make the latter drop
the whole business, for fear the minorl-
ty may be playing into the hands of the
administration by calling for an exhi-
bition Of facts which will have the very
opposite result from hat desired by
Democratic members. The latter start
ed in with the idea of finding something
to use advantageously during the COM
ing campaign, or else make an impress
sion that things were not as they should
be by getting the Republicans in con-
gress to refuse to have investigations.

Over $1OO, 900, 900 was paid to stock
holders as dividends this month in
New York from corporation accumula-
tions. This shows that the companies
are doing large business. Never before
was SO great a sum of money disbursed
as dividends in January, the highest
previous records being $12, 900, 900 less.
Corporations do not have such profits
to divide among stockholders unless the
people generally are prosperous and
have money to spend, for it is from the
people that the companies receive the
dollars and dimes from which to meet
expenses and pay dividends.
