FOUNDRY STRIKE OVER.
Men Give Up Their Fight for a
Nine Hour Day.

The strike of the brass moulders and
their helpers which took place last Fri
day seems to have been broken. The
four foundries in the city are not COM
PEELED to shut down by the strike, but
nave more applications now for positions
than they can fill. The strike was made
by the men for one cause only, nine hours
a day to constitute a days work The
men employed at the Brady Brass Com
pany, at No. % Ninth street, have given
in. They returned to work last Monday.
The men at the George Krouse Foundry,
No. $50 Morgan street, also gave in.
At the e. A. Williams and Sons foundry
on Plymouth street, the shop is running
on full time and the management is find
ing no difficulty in securing men. The
old employees are coming back almost
every day and the strike is about over
A representative for Williams & Sons
said today at the office that the old men
will be reinstated just as fast as they
wish to come to work He said:- b
They now see the foolish step they
have taken, and as some of them have
wives and families to support they are
anxious to go back to work The men
went on strike for nine hours day as
the standard time. Now they have been
working on this plan right along, but they
were afraid that they would be compelled
to work ten hours a day as the days
became longer. The whole thing is that
all the men are required to is is to make
a certain number of moulds day and
when they finished the number required,
no matter whether they made them in
seven or eight hours their days work is
ended"

CRAGIN SYNDICATE PLANS
Representatives Tell the Har-
Dor Line Board How the Dry
Dock Will Be Built.

Counselor George L. Record and
Engineer James C. Payne of the State
Board of Riparian Commissioners, were
present this afternoon at a hearing of
the Harbor Line Board held in the
United States Army building, Whitehall
street, New York City, in relation to the
application of the board for lines in Com
munipaw Bay, to which piers and dry
dock may be constructed by the Thornton
Cragin syndicate.
In the opinion of the Riparian Board
these lines should be continued from
Ellis Island down to Robbins Reef and
this would settle the proposition of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company to build
piers on the reef a little to the north of
Cavan Point.
Col. III. M. Roberts, president of the
Harbor Line Board, having at recent
hearing concerning the fixing of these
lines asked that more definite plans for
the work to be done by the Thornton
Cragin syndicate near to Bedlows Island,
engineers representing the syndicate had
large collection of data and plans
showing what they proposed to do On
the tract they will build dry dock LOIS
feet long, So feet low water depth and
104 feet to the top OF the entrance. This
Will give docking room for vessels over
600 feet in length. The syndicate's law
yer asked that there be change in the
north line of the tract for the purpose of
securing solid foundation for the dock
The officials of the Government said
that they chiefly desired the navigable
channel between Ellis and Bellows
Island and the artificial island adjoining
the immigrant station kept free
No decision was announced as to fixing
of the lines requested

peared in person and urged the passage

steep, and we should look into them be-
fore we order them paid
That the Street and Water Commits
sioners had already approved the claims
was pointed out by Commissioner Mullins.
He said:-"The money is due and we
should see that this man gets his money!
Commissioner Ringle smilingly rebuked
Mr.. Mullins with a remark that he should
not play to the galleries.
I'm not talking to the galleries." re-
piled Mr.. Mullins.
'-The proper time to discuss this mat
ter quietly said Mr.. Ringle, sis when
we go inside
That's all right said Commissioner
Mullins, '.but when a mans bills are
marked o. *. I think he should get his
money!
The Commissioners then retired to the
inner room. Upon their temperance
Clerk Kellehar was told to notify Mr.
Murphy that his claims would not be paid
until they were further examined.
Despite the advise of his physicians,
Commissioner Garnes attended yesterday
afternoons session. He had been con-
fined OF his home for several days with
grip. He was weak. but he stayed

BIG LAFAYETTE PARK.
Collector Davis Advocates
Making a Big Pleasure
Ground in That
Section.

President Mortimer LampSon of the La
fayette Citizens Association, tells of a
scheme announced by Collector Robert
Davis with regard to park in Lafayette.
The Doctor was discussing the project
a few days ago with Leader Davis. and
Mr.. Davis spoke favorably of the park
system. Mr.. Davis said that it might
be a good idea to greatly extend the pro-
posed Van Horne site so as to take in all
the property in vans Horne street and
Johnston avenue for a park. This would
make the site extend from Communipaw
to Johnston avenues on Van Horne street
and along Johnston avenue to the canal,
thence along the canal to Communipaw
avenue.
Mr.. Davis mentioned this as good
plan in case the canal was abandoned.
He said the plan was practical and a
good one. The citizens of Lafayette
heartily endorse the plan.
If such a project were undertaken it
would be necessary to buy out the zinc
works and a block of houses situated on
Van Horne street, between Maple street
and Johnston avenue, also few houses
on Communipaw avenue. These are the
only buildings on the entire plot of sew
eral blocks of property This piece of
property, if converted to park purposes
would be larger than Hamilton Park, the
largest public ground in the city at pres
ent. The site would be an ideal one
should the canal be filled in.
The property, other than the Van Horne
site. can be purchased at a reasonable
price. AT present the park matter lies
slumberng.
Mr.. Davis, when interviewed by
News" reporter, said he had nothing to
say beyond the statement that his inter-
view with DR.. Lampson was absolutely
cnrraot

grade as the first Hilo land agent, was
brought up in the form of an adverse
report from Dickey (Rep.), and Prem
dergast (Ind.). Makekau claimed that
there was discrimination because the
second land agent was Hawaiian
and the first one haole, but the ma
jority report showed that the difference
in Salaries was fully justified by the
amount of business done. Both reports
went over for the time being.
The House then tried to take up the
appropriation bin proper, but succeed
ed in doing nothing better than to put
in time They were unable to come to
any agreement as to where to begin
on the task, and the result was first
a motion by Makekau Qnd.) to ad-
iourn which was lost; second, a mo-
ton by MaI1oe Qnd.) for recess to
call in the absent members, which car
kau to adjourn, which this time pre-
vailed. During the discussions both
the speaker and the former Independ-
ent chief (Makekau) mildly scored the
committees for not being ready with
their reports. Makekau declared he
wanted to go home; not spend all sum-
mer here doing nothing, and that is a
point which will operate eventually to
bring order out of chaos. It cannot be
doubted lndl the independents udIS Lo'
go home without appropriations fol
their roads, nor would they like to face
their constituents without an attempt
at cutting salaries. If it were not fol
that, there is nothing In evidence tha'
would bring them together. nor any
thing to prevent their adjournint
without doing anything.
