UNION BARRIERS TO SHAVE THEN.
JOURNEY IN THE WILDERNESS
OF WHISPERS.

Joy as well many weeks growth of whiskers
Illuminated the faces of the delegates at the meet
ing of the Central Federated Union yesterday
because 1t was learned that new BARRIERS union
had been formed and the delegates could therefore
get shaved before Christmas
Some time ago the Central Federated Union sus-
pended the BARRIERS Union-not because its dele
gates talked too much. but because the union held
its meeting in non-union hall and its members
were accused of eating nOn-unon cooked food and
divers other crimes
At the time of the placing of the ban on the
BARRIERS Union many delegates took more or less
solemn oaths that they would let their whiskers
grow until another BARRIERS union was formed.
And so II to pass that of late strangers who
dropped into the Central Federated Union $ meet

thought that they had discovered nest of Popu-

conspicuously
The missionary question, of course occupies a
foremost place in the discussion 1t is now felt
as essential that the Western Powers take cosm-
zance of the sentiment here that religious inVasions
of Oriental countries by powerful Western orgam-
cations are tantamount libustering expeditions
and should not only be discountenanced. but stern
measures should be adopted for their suppression.
1t is of course admitted that individual religious
zeal in the line of propagandism cannot be inter-
fered with but the feeling here IS that the mis-
sionary organizations constitute constant menace
to peaceful international relations.
The business stagnation continues, and Is exclt-
ing some alarm in foreign well as in native
circles. The narbor Of Yokohama IS wellnigh de-
nuded of shipping, and there is steady, though
yet small exodus of foreign residents. When
the Chinese troubles are settled, however: every
is looking for substantial revival or trade
and preparations for 1t being made In the
mean time indignation against the delays at Pc
king is waxing hot.
Nothing has been yet heard of the training ship
Tsukishima, which disappeared off the eastern
coast in the recent great storm, and intense anx-
iety is felt for the fate of the ninetyone studens

The enthusiasm among the Japanese over the
proposed memorial of the Perry expedition is In

TUNNEL EMPLOYEES GRIEVANCES.
JOHN b. MDoNALD AND THE sUB-CoN-
TRACTORS TO CONFER WITH THEM.

The most important business before the meeting
Of the Central Federated Union in University Set
Element Hail. yesterday afternoon. was the discus
sion of the report of John j. Pallas. chairman OF
the committee appointed to investigate the griev-
ances Of the unions whose members are employed
in the construction of the Rapid Transit tunnel.
Delegate Palas said that he had had confer
ence with John b. Mcdonald the contractor, and
that the latter had assured him that he was heart
ily in favor of the proposal of the Central FED
Grated Union form a section composed of all the
unions who have members employed on the tunnel.
BY bringing ali the interested unions under one
head complaints and grievances can be investi-
gated and acted upon much quicker than ar pres
ent. In this way it is thought that innumerable
small strikes and other difficulties may be avoided.
Delegate Paas also requested all unions having
grievances against the contractor sub-contrac-
tors of the tunnel to present them Immediately to
the committee, not in a vague and eVaSiVe form,
but made specific. and accompanied by aftidavits
where necessary.
Mr.. Mcdonald told Palias that he thought the
sub b-contractors the tunnel should be brought
into the future conferences
Several conferences will be held this week be-
tween the Pallas committee, Mr. Mcdonald and
the sub-contractors. The committee will represent
unions of pipe caulkeTs shorers, safety engineers
firemen, hOusesmiths, all iron working trades. car
