Alleged Discrimination Against Local
Industries

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Once again Washington business enter
prise has been Disseminated against in
favor of an outside concern. When the
centennial printing committee made its
break and awarded the contract for the Of
fetal souvenir to a Philadelphia house. To-
cal printers and engravers muttered a little.
declined to subscribe to the fund that WAS
being raised and the incident was soon
closed. Not, however, until the work on
the souvenir bad been inspected and the
opinion expressed that considering the quail
ity the price paid for the work was to sa
the least. very good one.
Washington printers had bid on that
work and 1t was no credit to the city for
the committee In charge to conclude that
atter a lapse OF century there was no
concern here able to handle 1t. In this they
were decidedly mistaken There are thou
SANDS upon thousands Of dollars invested
here in the printing industry, and work ia
daily produced that Is equal to that Of any
other city in the country. But the wound
has been opened by one Of the inaugural
committee. and while this time the COM
mlttee mas recognized the capablity Of
washington printing establishments there
by refuting certain statements of the CEN
tennial printing committee, they have seen
MT to award the contract for the engraving
of the necessary half-tone illustrations to a
New York concern, and 1t is against this
action that we protest
Our representative attended the meeting
or the committee last Wednesday morning
but met with slight announcement He
was informed that while the committee
would receive a proposition from him for
the engraving, 1t was not their desire to
enter into separate contracts for printing
and engraving. and that they would likely
contract with some printing house to sup
ply the complete souvenir, the printers
necessarily subletting the engraving. Our
representative then left the meeting and
later submitted a proposal for the work.
in writing to produce moth
ing but the highest character of illustra-
tons. The committee later received the
New York parties and entered into a con-
tract with them, an action that was to
some extent based upon explanations made
In technical language, and which later a
member of the committee practically ad-
mitted he did not understand. That the
work could have been done in this city is
a fact easily proven. and that Washington
possesses capable establishments is mat
ter that the city may well feel proud Of
and should be glad to patronize.
II is discouraging. therefore, to local in
dustry to be repeatedly slapped in the face
by officials of public celebrations.

the circle in which they were moving. In
the free end of the lariat big running
moose had been tied. As the circle grew
smaller the horses would begin running
over the moose. One of Williamson's help
ers kept close watch and gave strong pull
on the lariat when he saw that a horse had
stepped into the moose. The horse would
fall, shared by the foot. A heavy log chain
about three feet long was then fastened to
one of its forelegs with a leather strap and
the horse turned loose. The animal would

Williamson and his men would coil their
lariats and ride straight into the midst of
the band and rope them, until the band
was scattered The captured horses were
then rounded up and the lesson Of teaching
the others to pass over the rope was re-
sumed. After time, when their fear had
abated. they would again pass over the
rope without hesftancy. In this manner
Williamson caught from seventy-five to
eighty horses each season. The work grew
much more difficult as the season ad-
vanced: the grass was better. giving great
er strength to the wild horses, while his
own had become worn and thin with hard
