THE STEAM FILTERS STRIKE.
Both Sides TO the Contention Still
Stand Firm.

There was no change yesterday in the
status of the strike inaugurated on Mon
day by the steam and hot water filters and
their helpers for an increase of wages.
The members Of both unions held Joint
meeting yesterday morning at their head
quarters, AIS Twelfth Street. and it was
unanimously decided TO use every effort 10
maintain the stand taken.
While the employers of the members OF
both unions are as firm as at first in their
contention that their business will not SUI
fer, they are not inclined to discuss the
situation in detail. further than to say
that the demand made by the worlmen at
this time Is In violation OF their agreement
with them.
When the steam and hot water filters and
their helpers adjourned yesterday 1t was
to meet again tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock

HAWKINS LODGED IN JAIL.
He Is Held Responsible for the Death
of ArtemuS Young.

ne Is ReSponS1DlP tne DcHtu
OF Artemus Young.
ROCKVILLE, Nd, July Am inquest
over the body of Artemus Young, who was
found dead this morning in barn near
Rockville. was held today at Clarksburg,
before Justice Dronenberg. The verdict
rendered found that Young had met his
death from the effects of blows inflicted
upon him by James H. Hawkins. Haw-
kins was brought TO the Jail at Rockville
at about 6 o'clock, where he was con-
fined to await trial at the November term
of court.
Considerable ill-feeling against Haw-
kins. who has been always extremely In
popular exists among the people of
Ciarksburg. and it is not unlikely that an
attempt to lynch him may be made to-
night which is the anniversary OF the
lynching OF Randolph in 1898. Young was
well thought of in the community.
The body Of Young was found yesterday
morning on the farm of C. G. Gibson. near
Clarksburg. A laborer while going to his
work, shortly after daybreak, stumbled
over the corpse.
During the afternoon of Saturday Young
went TO the store of William Windsor in
accordance with his usual cuSlOIH- Nnile
there dispute is said TO have arisen be-
tween him and Hawkins. The discussion
is said to have waxed warm and gen
eral row was threatened. Finally Young
is said to have called Hawkins a vile
name, whereupon Hawkins became very
much Infatuated and rushed at him with
uplifted stick, saying:
DO you mean that?"
Young is said to have repeated the cpl
tibet, with an additional adjective or two
to emphasize it.
In an instant Hawkins, so 1t is said, was
attacking him with a stick. The first
blow is said TO have foored him when 1t
is charged that Hawkins jumped on
Young's PROSTATE form and beat and kick
ed him unmercifully until he was stopped
by the onloOkers.
Young was rendered unconscious but
after he regained his senses he appe AIRED
before Justice of the Peace Gronnenb 7rg
and swore out a warrant against Hawkins,
charging him with assault and battery.
Hawkins was arrested and released In 500
bail for his appearance when wanted fer
trial.
Throughout the entire day yesterday
Young was able to be about, and he did
not appear to show the effect OF the inju
ries that had been inflicted upon him 10
any great extent. II is expected that the
coroner's inquest will develop the fact that
he WAS injured internally.
When the news of the finding of the body
became known, it was great shock to the
community and his death was Immediately
attributed to the blows said TO have been
inflicted by Hawkins.

BUILDING TRADES COUNCILS.
The Two RivnI Bodies Hold business
Meetings.

The two labor organizations, each claim
ing to be the legally constituted Building
Trades Council in the District, met last
night at Their respective headquarters. One
met at Typographical Temple and was
presided over by e. ]. Ratigan, and the
other at Mechanics Hail. where the pro-
ceedinss were conducted by John H. Fitz-
gerald.
At the meeting held at Typographical
Temple John Brett, delegate repre-
senting the Steam and Hot Water Filters
Union, reported the status of the strike
inaugurated by that organization in cop-
junction with their helpers, on Monday.
The action of the steam filters and their
helpers was endorsed by the council, and
the affiliated unions were called on to
give moral and financial aid TO the strikers.
1t was reported that Hold Carriers Union
No. l. which had affiliated with the council
which met at Mechanics Hall, had with
drawn from that body and applied for ad-
mission to the council of which L. J. Rat
igan is president. 1t was stated that the
delegates from Hold Carriers Union No.
were admitted and obligated.
The chairman OF the joint committee
representing the council and the Central
Labor Union reported that a room had
been rented in Typographical Temple,
which would be used as headquarters for
the consideration of all business of the
unions affiliated with either organizat ton
At the meeting held at Mechanics Hall
ten trade unions were reported as being
represented by full quote of delegates
BY unanimous vote IL was decided to APP
point committee to take steps to secure
the amount of money the council is en-
titled to out of the net proceeds of the last
Labor Day excursion. The excursion on
Labor Day, 1899 was given by the Central
Labor Union and the Building Trades
Council jointly. Up to the time when the
Building Trades Council divided into two
factions. in March last, final settlement
OF the proceeds of the excursion fund had
not been made. At the meeting of the Gen.
trail Labor Union held Monday night.
however it was decided to turn over to
the council presided over by E. ]. Ratigan
the sum Of $3.50 of the excursion fund.
The other faction of the building trades
contend that the Central Labor Union had
no authority to dispose of the fund in ques-
ton as it did because the organization to
which it gave the money is not recog-
nized by the National Building Trades
Council as a legally constituted body.
