BURNING OUT OF RUSSIA.
Recurring Ravages of Fires Seem
Not to Teach Peasants How to
Avoid Them.

Before the rains d few days ago
ST. Petersburg was enveloped in
smoke from burning peat beds and
the newspapers still report fires in
all parts of Russia. Villages and
towns. forests and peat beds lumber
yards and factories have been burn
ing for six weeks. The peasants,
who are the principal sufferers, are
utterly incapable of resisting the
flames. that is intellectually and
morally incapable. They continue
building their villages in the same
fashion. with their wooden matched
huts close together, and il is usually
only when a forest or peat fire be-
gins to threaten village that any
effort is made to eXtinguish it. The
fire ravages have been unusually
large this year. They are OCCASION
ing considerable comment in The
newspapers. Prince MestcherskV in
the Grajdanin says that in the mat
ter of rural architecture and protec-
ton against fire Russia has made no
progress since Rurik. Much is said
of the burden of taxation" continues
the writer wet the direct and indi-
rect taxes are nothing compared to
the damages sustained annually from
fires. During the last century Rus
STA lest through fires at least 2O,-
600. 600 900 roubles And so Russia
burns on at an expense of 100000
roubles year. Poor Russia, The
roads have not become one whit bet
ter since Rurik and the villages are
as mean as a thousand years ago.
With good country roads Russia
would be half billion richer every

El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1901-04-01

A carpenters strike was reported on
the streets this morning. Inquiries
by Herald reporter developed the fact
that while there was as yet no strike
among the carpenters. an action had
been taken that will probably result in
some disturbance among the followers
of that trade.
The E! Paso Building Trades Coun-
ell has adopted what is known as the
card system and it takes effect today.
The system is just simply the edict
that the members of trades unions shall
not work beside the follower of any of
the trades included in the council I'M
less said tradesman has card in one
of the respective unions.
The trades unions in FL Paso that
nave adopted the card system are the
carpenters. painters. plasterers, and
hod carriers and while the plumbers
and brick layers have not adopted the
system they will endorse any action
which the adoption of the system caus-
es a tradesman to take
4 union carpenter said: We give
any man show to join the union OF
mis- trade and we make easy terms. SO
that anybody who wishes to join may
do so. and then we positively refuse to
work with a man who will not join a
union. If the boss prefers to keep the
non-union men we will quit. That is
all there will be to it
So far no one has quit. but it is be-
lieyed that the result will be that a few
will quit soon. for there are instances
in town where union and non-union
men are working side by side. The
non-union men will be asked to join
and presumably given a few days in
which to consider the matter. If they
refuse to join. the union men viii lgo to
the employer and ask the discharge of
the non-union man or men. III he re-
fusese to comply with the request the
union men will quit.
The adoption of the card system is
the first step of a decisive action that
viii, take place in May. 1t is said to be
the intention of the carpenters to de-
mand after the first of May an eight
hour day and As cents an hour for
work. Local contractors assert that
they cannot see anything but starva
lion for them if that demand was COM
piled with.
