BOX CARS.
For the First Time In
Two Years
There Is Enough to Supply Shippers
"A Great Rush.

For the first time In two years there
is an abundance Of box cars. The con-
ditions Is what previous to two years
ago would be called a fair demand.
Some Of the north and south lines are
still short, but the east and west trunk
lines have a small surplus.
There is nothing dlscouraging in the
present condition. For the past two
years there has been an abnormal traf-
dc. There Las been on let up, but a
constant demand, which exceeded the
supply. For two years, there was no
"suinmer lulp' or holiday dullness. 1t
was steady and unnatural rush. A
rush Of two years duration is without
precedent In the history of traffic. For
this reason when traffic assumes u
good healthy condition 1t appears to be
slump, When compared with the
same period of three years ago. bust
ncss at present is heavy for this time
OF the yaar.
Still, the present slump in traffic Is
going to have depressing effect on
railway securities, The earnings of
this month, when compared with May
Of last year. VIII show II decrease. Even
the lake coal roads,. which are now
short Of cars, are not apt TO show a
satisfactory increase. They are not
going to handle the volume of business
that they did last May. Higher rates
may be redeeming feature which will
show up in the coal road earnings, but
the trunk lines will surrey show de-
crease. This condition may continue
throughout the year. Later, the Presl-
Dental campaign is apt to have its us
ual effect on the business of the coun-
| try.

THE OPERATIVE PLASTERERS.
annual Convention of the Intcrna-
iionaI Union Opens.

The sixteenth annual convention OF the
Operative Plasterers' International Union
was begun yesterday at the National Ho-
tel. Two meetings were held, one begin
ming at 10 a. N. and the other at p. N.
W. |. Wilson, of Philadelphia. the presi-
dent of the organization, presided at both
sessions.
So far as the number and prompt at
tendance of the delegates is concerned, the
convention is a decided success. as the
rollcall showed more representatives pres
ent than at any previous annual meeting.
Immediately after the convention was
called to order President Wilson appointed
a committee on credentials, of which Sec
retary-Treasurer 7. A. Scully was made
chairman. At the afternoon session the
committee reported fayorably on all the
credentials presented, and delegates rep
resenting unions with an aggregate mem
bership Of over 1000 were seated. There
were no contests made before the creden-
tials committee
After permanent organization was eff
fected, President Wilson appointed the
following delegates as chairmen of the
committees named: Fred A. Runge, Mil
waukee finance; James O'Connor, Bos-
ton, constitution; Daniel Shea, Cincin-
natl, labor and labor statistics; JJhn
Donnelly, Louisville officers repor;s;
s a. Clements. Washington. resolutions;
George NJ. Reed. President OF the New
York Union appeals and grievances;
John A. Fitzgerald Washington. press.
Although no action has yet been taken
in reference 10 the matter, Il is s.a.ei
that the convention will consider the
question Of the pllsterers regaining en-
troll of certain kinds of work, which it is
contended properly belongs to the craft
Objection is made by the plasterers to
the men who work in shops making or
naments for rooms, leaving the 3hop
and going to the buildings to erect them.
Such work. it is claimed properly be-
longs to the plasterers.
IL was stated that the Scientific Amer
lean extended an invitation TO the
members of the convention to be photo
graphed in a group for publication In
that magazine. The secretary Of the or
organization was also requested to fur
nish a brief history of the formation and
growth Of the organization for publica-
ton. The invitation was accepted. and
the delegates will be photographed this
week
Local Union No. 90 of Operative Plas-
terers met last night and decided on q
plan for the entertainment OF the dele
gates to the national convention while
they remain in the city. Excursions to
Mount Vernon and Arlington were decided
on and it was determined to escort the
visiting delegates to the Government
buildings and other points of interest A
banquet has been arranged for Friday
night The convention will resume bust
ness this morning at 10 O'Clock and an
other meeting will be held at 2 p. m.

THE NEwsBoYs' TOURNAMENT.
Neat sum Derived From the Event
at National Park.

The tournament Of the Newsboys' Union
at National Park yesterday was a gala
event for the juveniles There were over
two hundred youngsters, large and small,
black and white, and all the intermediate
shades, at the park, ana they enjoyed TO
the utmost the races and games that
had been provided for their amusement.
About o'clock yesterday morning after
the boys had disposed OF their morning
papers they began to gather in front Of
The Times Office. President Edward y
Reese finally got them into line and after
heartily cheering The Times they pro
ceeded up the Avenue Banners setting
forth the object and destination OF the
parade were carried by the boys, who
vented their feelings in yelling and whis-
thing The procession stopped at each of
the local newspaper offices and turned
east at the intersection of Street with
the Avenue. Down E Street to Seventh
and then out to the park the parade wend-
ed its way.
Once at the latter place no time was
lost in beginning the sports. Many prizes
had been donated by Washington mer-
chants and no boy was allowed TO com
pete in more than one event, so that ey-
eryone had chance to secure a prize
Foot races. bicycle races, and other games
were on the programme. The pie-eating
contest was quite amusing and was won
by small and dusky lad who said that
in preparation for the event he had eaten
nothing for three days. A small porker
of the razor back variety which was well
coated with grease, proved elusive and
swift OF foot, but was finally captured
by a youngster not much larger than the
pig itself. a number Of spectators were
present and occupied seats in the grand
stand The proceeds, which amounted TO
neat sum. will revert TO the treasury
OF the union and will lie used for the
equipment of a newsboys' home.

Answer TO the Complaint

Answer has been prepared by counsel
for the NJ A. Winter Manufacturing
COMPANY in the suit against II for GER
tain Photographic records of speeches by
Bryan, Stevenson, and Towne. filed sew
eral days ago. In the original bill Au-
gustus Davis. jr., and others stated that
the Winter Company had contracted 10

addresses by prominent Democratic lead
ers, but notwithstanding paymen, of
$1,000, had refused to comply with the
terms of the agreement, and The court
was asked to enforce the instrument
The Winter Company makes a general
denial of these contentious, admitting
the contract. but specifically opposing
the claim that the compliments paid
$1,000 for records which have rot teen
furnished. On the contrary, according
to the replication, they are indebted TO
the Winter Company for $500.
