What does the Chinaman do with his
money? That is a question that has
aroused considerable curiosity. One thing
can be reckoned on with certainty in re-
gard to Chinaman's use Of his money,
and that is ne does not spend it, Ac-
customed to a lifelong diet Of rice and
tea and clothes Of the cheapest kind, and
unfamiliar with the expensive amuse-
nents and designations Of Western CIV
iiization, the chinaman is economical to
a degree.
Whatever money the Chinaman makes
in his business or saves from his wages
is not stored in the strongholds Of the
foreign devils; at least not often. John
Chinaman Is very seldom a depositor in
a savings bank. The idea of intrusting
his savings to American institutions has
always been distasteful to him. The
came distrust Of American banks exists
with the wealthy merchants OF Mott, PelI
and Doyers streets as with the humblest
coolie taundryman. Some of the China
town merchants transact business
amounting in the course OF a year to
many thousands Of dollars. Their wares
are daily shipped all over the United
States. but not one in fifty is ever able
to draw check on a bank.
The Chinese system of taking care OF
money is simply to hoard it. The poorer
class bury their money, or hide it in old
laundry boilers in their cellars. Mer-
chants often hoard money in sofas. where
in some cases it accumulates to enor-
nous amounts. They pay ali their bills
in cash, and invariably have their money
where they can put their hands on it at
a moments notice. The hidden treas
ure is rarely molested. This is somewhat
remarkable. since so many Cinnamon

ings. in neighborhoods where thieves
abound. Perhaps this immunity is due

union yesterday and the strike" be-
came weak effort to maintain a much
talked of desire to intimidate four Coast
plumbers from getting admittance to
the association.
Instead of going out upon the strike
with defiant attitude, the members
quit their jobs in the shops of the mas
ter plumbers very quietly and gathered
at the association hall to talk it over
and question it's wisdom.
T None of the plumbers of the union
went to work yesterday. The only
working plumbers were the four whom
Master Plumbers Brown and Sellers
had imported, and whom the local as
sociation refused to admit to member
ship except upon the payment of a $50
! initiation fee. Brown and Sellers were
at first undecided just what answer
to give, but at last Brown took firm
stand in the matter and decided to
stand by his men, while Sellers weak
! ened at the last moment and discharg
ed two of his workmen. With the eX-
ception of these two men the master
plumbers of the city were a unit in
standing by their fellows and the -in-
aitiative for the settlement of the differ
ences had to come from the journeymen
themselves.
President Connors of the Journeymen
Association made many contradictory
statements during the day, and when
asked whether all the men had gone
out, he said:
| "Oh, we haven't struck There isn't
anything in that at all. 1t is simply
! the individual differences of some of the
men with the master plumbers and they
did not go to work today. No, sir, there
is no strike. Why, don't you know it's
against the law to order a strike? We
are law-abiding men and haven't any
intention of breaking the laws of the
land
| Did you order the association out
on a strike last night?''
! mo, l did not. ] can't do it. I
haven't the authority.
IF it is a question of individual diff
| ferences, how is it that all the master
plumbers are minus workmen today?"
We'll, of course, when some of the
men stayed away from their jobs, the
others thought they would do the same.
1 Now, as to these four men, only two
of them came from Seattle. And they
amt members of the Seattle union,
either. We don't know them. They
! haven't presented us with cards show
ing where they were members, and we
haven't asked them for an initiation fee
/ of $50, for they haven't come to ask
us for admittance to the association"
Mr.. Connors went on to say that he
had no knowledge as to whether the
four men, OBrien, Judge, Mccoy and
! Cameron, were union members. He
! was of the opinion that they were not
members in good standing, otherwise

Angry pedestrians denounced the Pub

trudging through ankle-deep mud at the
various street crossings. From morning
until night the crossings were miniature
seas of mud and dirty water, and woe
betide the man who had leaky shoes. At
no time during the day were the cross
iings swept, and pedestrians had to pick
their way on rocks. a la Papa Ita, as
best they could.

he had the knack of walking upon the
muddy surface.
On the sidewalk at the corner of Fort

menace to the unwary foot. The street
department should, on rainy days, have
a corps of street sweepers upon crossings
in the business and shopping sections.
They would be far more effective than a
dozen storm sewers, as far as personal
comfort underfoot is concerned.
