HIGH SCHOOL STRIKE.
Non.Union Labor Being Employed by
Electrical Firm.

Philadelphia, May 2S-Another strike
new High School Annex, Fifteenth and
Green streets, for exactly the same rea-
son as that of last week, namely the
employment of nOn-union electricians by
the D'Oier Engineering Company. The
other strike was declared off and the
Council of Allied Building Trades yes
tcrday ordered members of affiliated
unions back to work. for the reason that
Architect Cook, of the Board of Edu-
cation, had sent the electricians away
and said they would not return.
This morning the same non-union cleo
tricianS went back to work, and the news
was at once taken to headquarters of
the Allied Building Trades, in Odd Eel
lows Temple. 1t came as great sur
prise for the reason that the electricians
remained away While the other unions
returned to work.
Thomas Mcguire, president of the Ex-
ecutlve Board of the council. and a
committee went to the building fully
determined to call the union men on
strike at noon. The inspector in charge
for the Board of Education made plea
for delay until tomorrow, stating that
Architect Cook had sent the man away
with instructions not to return. They
started work again this morning without
Mr.. Cooks knowledge and the inspector
said. he had tried to find his superior
TO acquaint him with the facts. Mr..
Cook was ont and would not return until
late this afternoon, when the case would
be laid before him for action.
Under the circumstances it was deter
mined to postpone the strike until tomor-
row morning If the electricians affair
is not definitely settled before then the
unions will quit again.
MASONS BOYCOTT A QUARRY.
At Il special meeting of the Italian
Stoncmasons' Union, a resolution was
presented TO declare the Rittcnhouse
stone quarry of Germantown on the I'M
fair list. 1t was unanimously decided to
adopt the resolution and that the union
hereafter refuse TO lay any stone furn-
iShcd from this particular quarry.
For some time past trouble has been
brewing over this stone and efforts have
been made by all the unions interested
to bring about better conditions at the
quarry. Thomas Mcguire, business
agent of the Granite Cutters Union,
states that everything at the quarries is
non-unon, and that employees are work
ed ten hours, Non-unon stonecutters are
employed. which meets strenuous OBJ
jections from the unions employed on
buildings where it is used. Among the
contracts now on hand where this stone
is to be used is the new school house
at Eighth and Clcarfcld streets. 1t is
too soon yet to tell what may develop
when it comes TO laying this stone on
that work.

POLICE NOT TO INTERFERE.
Court Won't Interfere With Striker;
Remedy.

Cincinnati, May 2S.-Judge J. +. Travis
in the kenton County Circuit Court at
Covington, Ky, passed on the motion of
Boss Plumber John II. Underhill, who Is
fighting a strike of plumbers, for an in
junction against Walter Murphy and
9th + Union workmen formerly in his
employ.
Judge Travis refused to grant the in
junction on the ground, chiefly, that the
offences complained Of, if they were
committed, are of criminal nature and
should be dealt with in the police court
accordingly. After a resume of the facts
in the case, the court, in denying the in
junction, said:
1T does not appear to me that such
procedure is authorized by the consttu-
ton and laws of the nation or of this
commonwealth. The assumption of juris-
dlctlon and process Of injunction, in cases
Ike TINS, by courts Of equity. might and
would lead to great abuses and wrongs
Any act of exercise of jurisdiction that
even tends to or suggests an infringe
mcnt of the right of trial by jury in
criminal cases ought to be avoided"

IRON MOULDERS IN LINE,
They Will Not Handle Patterns Made
by NOn-Unionists.

San Francisco, May 2S.-Tradcs Onion
men employed their Sunday in secret
meetings. Iron Nluldcrs' Union No. 1854
passed Il resolution that its members re-
turn to their respective shops today, but
work only from patterns made by union
pattern makers, and on such castings
only which are to be finished by union
machinists. Since all union pattern
makers and machiniSts are on strike and
every new pattern from which east
ing is to be made will be suspected of
being the work Of Il non-unon pattern
maker. and will have to be finished by
non-union machinsts, the mOulders will
refuse to handle the castings. This is
likely to lead TO a strike of the moulders,
though the order for them to strike has
not come from the international organi-
CATION.

A Com munic q ton.
Editor of the REPUBLICAN,


Sir:--lt is really amusing to see
the old bluff game the Every Even.
ing is trying to put up in order to
help the party it represents. 1t is
true it believer in the old adage. "a
house divided against itself must
fall. " That is what it is trying TO
do with the Republican party, but
its efforts are fruitless. 1t would be
better for it to try and make peace
in its own family circle which is
much needed, and leave Republic
cans alone. All its efforts to de-
feat the Republican ticket. espec-
tally the head, are fruitless.
Mr.. Fisher will be elected Mayor
by majority of votes. never before
given to any candidate in Whining
ton. The Republican party could
not have named better candidate
He is tool popular for any Democratic
paper to cast insinuations on, and
next Saturday will prove who he
is.
There are a large number of
honest Democrats who are tired of
the disgrace brought upon their
party by few individuals who own
the town and don't care by what
means or how they get it. The re-
cent action OF the Democratic lead
ers has been so disgusting tina
many who were once promine mt
boosters of the Democratic faith
are ashamed to confess their appel
lation with that party and are de-
termlned to put the city on a purer
basis, and in order to do SO will
vote the str aight Republican ticket
next Saturday,
Everything points to a sweeping
majority and full control of the city
by the Republican party next Sat-
urday.
Thanking you for your valuable
space | remain, Yours for the city S
welfare. ONE WHO HEARS.

1, demand being made by machinists CON
nected with the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, for the reason that the Inter-
national Association of Machinists had
determined to make a separate fight
! against all railroads.
| The machnists, he explained are in
no position at the present time to make
a demand upon the Pennsylvania or any
| other railroad to secure nine hour work
day and will not be until after their de-
mands have been granted by manufac-
turers. The policy before inaugurating
strike among employees in all branches
Of a railroad is to first to effect n
thorough organization along the entire
line, which has the effect of making the
strike more effective. Such an organiza-
ton has been effected among the ma
chinists employed by the Southern Rail-
road and the Delaware. Lackawanna &
Western Railroad Compani,s and this
being the ease. the employees made their
demand for the nine hour concession,
which was not granted, and the men are
on a strike.
The strike of lnbOrers this morning
was something of surprise to all except
the leaders. 1t seems that machnst
finished one job and had to get ready
for another. where laborer was ncces-
sary. The first man called on refused TO
help and quit work. The second man did
the same, until all eight had been called
on, refused, and left the shop. The
craneman was then called on to remove
some heavy work for non-union ma
chinist, when he too, refused to work.
All these men then went to West Phila-
delphia Odd Fellows Hall, which is the
strikers headquarters for that district.
These developments this morning seem
to indicate that this particular shop~is
crippled, and that it is the intention to
keep it in that condition, at least until
the demands are granted. 1t also seems
that the police took a singular action
yesterday. Henry Weber, one of the
former employees of the shop, was walk
afternoon when he stopped to light his
pipe. While performing this act he was
arrested and taken before magistrate,
where n charge of intoxication and dis
order was maze. According to the story
told at headquarters, the magistrate
asked when the arrest was made. When
told 1t had just occurred he seemed sur
priscd, ms the prisoner seemed perfectly
SOBER and was promptly discharged
The strikers pickets We're ON duty at
the entrance to the New York Shipbuld-
ing Company's and Dialogues Shipyards |
and no new hands went to work. The
Camden Typographical Union has passed !
resolutions indorsing the position taken
by the strikers. The New York Ship |
building Company today posted a notice |
that all employees wonld be given |
Saturday half holiday during June, July |
and August
