IN A VERY CLOSE CONTEST
CONSTITUTION AND COLUMBIA HAVE
ANOTHER RACE TODAY.
Columbia Got slightly Better Start
but NewBoat overcame

BATEMAN'S POINT, R. l., September 4
After a morning of dead calm, breeze
or about eight knots came up little after
noon today, and the yachts Columbia and
Constitution were started on q race, the
result OF which was expected to aid In set
tling the question as to which shall defend
the Americas cup in the approaching series
OF international yacht races with the Sham
rock II. The Constitution was first to come
out. She came down the harbor under
three lower sails and club topsail. She was
followed fifteen minutes later by the Co.
lumbia, the latter setting her jib topsail In
order to get out to the start on time. Just
after reaching the entrance of the harbor
the Constitution had some trouble with heI
jfb, the sail coming down on the run out,
but 1t was soon up again and the yachts
stood out for the lightship, where the COM
mittee boat already had taken up her
position.
Fifteen Miles to Windward.
At 12:40 the committee hoisted the course
signal for fifteen-mile beat to windward
and return, the course being south south
west, with the turning mark anchored
about four miles east of Block Island.
The warning gun was fired at 1855 with
both boats standing away from the light
ship on the port tack. Five minutes later
the signal was given. The Columbia

over the line, lI,woree eearound and headed for

self In bad position was very clever
one for 1t enabled the Constitution to stand
straight out f6r the Narragansett shore,
where southMesteE is much stronger than
out to sea. The Columbia only held the
starboard tack for about two minutes and
then swung round on the port tack and
headed after the Constitution for the Mar
ragansett shore. At this time the Colum-
ly slight lead on the Constitution. but the
latter was fast reaching a position where
she could cope around on the starboard
tack and come pretty close to the Columbia.
Changedt to -lstarboard Tack.
Both yachts held the port tack till 1:25
pm. the Constitution being the first to
change, followed Immediately by the CO.
lumbia. At this time it looked as II the
Columbia had reached the weather Of the
Constitution. but the boats were very close
together. After minutes on the star
DodFo tach II was seen that the Columbia
was not pulling away from the Constitu-
ton as she has done in the races of the
past two weeks. The new boat appeared
to be sailing much better, pointing higher
and footing faster, and at 1870 was holding
the Columbia in good shape
AT this time both boats were well down
to Point Judith.
At 1885 pm. 1t looked as If the Constitu-
tion had eaten out to windward Of the CO.

showing vast Improvement over her work

STRIKE FOR HIGHER WAGES
LOCAL rAPERHANGERs Make DE
MAND FoR $500 PER DAY.
Association Of Employers Declines to
Pay the Advance and Work
Ceases.

Because their demand for wages Of 30
per day was not granted most Of the pa
perhangers of this city who are members
OF the local paperhangers' assembly OF the
Knights Of Labor went out on strike this
morning. Last Friday a communication
was addressed to the Master Paperhangers'
Association in which there was q demand
for an increase from the prevailing rate of
80 per day to 800 per day. The first
mentioned figures were the wages received
by journeymen prior to the strike, but
that was not the maximum price paid per
day. In many instances the wages OBJ
tained by skilled paperhangers have reach
ed the total OF $45 for one week, great
deal Of the work done being by piece. The
demand Of the union met with prompt re-
fusal on the part Of the Master Paper
hangers Association at meeting OF the
organization held Monday last In Its
rooms in the Bond building.
In taking this stand the Master Paper
hangers Association holds that the wages
proposed by the union would permit the
worst kind of workingman to receive the
same pay as that of his skilled brother,
but should the former be put on piece
work he would not be able to make wages.
The strike affects all but two of the
shops In the city, and work Is at q stand
still on great many jobs. The two shops
In operation. however. only acquiesced, so
1t Is stated, In the demands Of their work
men for the reason that the work then
under way would not permit of Interrupt
ton. These firms were not affiliated with
the Master Paperhangers Association.
but their applications for membership in
that organization were received this morn
ing. AS soon, It Is said, as the work now
under way by the above mentioned two
firms is completed they will revert to the
old wages and win stand by the associa-
ton.
Reasons for Refusal.
While the association admits that there
are many good mechanics in the ranks of
the strikers it says that these are in the
minority and that to acQuiesce In the de-
mands made by the men would be to put
1t in the way of large majority to procure
wages that would not justify the master
paperhangers to pay They also declare
that they appreciate the work of the skilled
workmen, and will volunteer to pay wages
35 cents per hour. But they also believe
that that rate is fair and sufficient for the
average workman. and that they cannot
acquiesce in the demands made upon their
organization for the advance asked for.
The association has made arrangements
who will make an endeavor to secure suf-
f1cient number Of skilled men to fill the
places Of those now out on the strike.
A full meeting of the association was
called for this afternoon, at which time the
organization will formulate plans for the
carrying out of the large number Of con-
tracts now on hand.
was organized this summer and 1t Is said
that more than 80 per cent Of the paper
dealers Of this city are represented In it.

dent. and L. L. Derrick, treasurer.
