UNIFORM RANK.

The past year has been one of increased
activity in the affairs of the Uniform
Rank in the District of Columbia. Officers
and members of the regiment are encour-
aged and have reason to expect large ad
ditions to the ranks because of the inter
est that is being manifested. Besides, the
competitive drill of the companies for
the cash prizes provided by the Grand
Lodge of this domain will be an incen-
tive for active work. and already the
companies that will compete are arrang-
ing for practice drills. While the date
has not been definitely fyed, 1t is thought
that the drill will take place in June at
one of the river resorts. This has been
the usual custom, and the events have
always attracted large crowds. The drill
last year was participated in by three
companies. and the army officers who were

assigned to work. The particular case
in question being one wherein one of
our machinists, who has been running
a machine has been absent from the
shops great many times, and on &C
count of his absence the company be-
ing required either to allow the ma
chine to stand idle or assign a strange
man to the work. This being repeated
30 often as to cause us great deal of
inconvenience and annoyance, we were
finally compelled to assign a man to
the machine who would work regularly

precisely the same conditions where he

If necessary without interfering with
the progress of the work in the shops.
The employe in question refused to
perform the work in question assigned
to him; the men demanded that he be
placed at such work as they prescribe.
He was not dismissed or in any manner
prevented from resuming his duties as
a machinist on his return to work. We

mands that he or shop committees

Pacific Gable CONTRACTED.

London, July 22.-The Commercial
Pacific Cable company has signed a
contract with the Telegraph Construc-
ton company in London for the manu-
facture and laying of its cable from
Honolulu to Manila, touching at Guam.
The construction company guaranteed
to complete the cable by June, 1908, if
furnished with the necessary sound
ngs. In the event that these cannot
be furnished the company agrees to
finish the cable laying within such
time thereafter as is necessary to take
the soundi0gs.
Having two steamers capable of car
rying 5000 miles of cable, the company
is able to complete within year work
which would take other contractors
two years to do. The steamer, Silver
town, at Woolwich, is now loading the
San Francisco-Honolulu cable, 2,4OC
miles, and is expected to sail for San
Francisco in August. Eighteen hun
dred miles of this section have already
been manufactured and are being

BITUMINoUs MINERS MEET.
Anthracite Men Not onIte Ready For
Decision.

Indianapolis, July 19.-If the voice
and influence of President Mitchell of
the United Mine Workers shall prevail
with the members of his organization,
there will be no general strike of the
organization. The chances of such a
step being taken now are very remote.
In his speech in the convention, Mr..
Mitchell advised strongly against a
strike and arged that the bituminous
miners continue to work and that a
system of assessment upon the mem
bers of the order, which he outlined,
be carried into effect as the best means
of affording aid and support of the
striking anthracite men in the east
His recommendations if adopted by
the convention would have settled the
entire question for which the conven-
ton was called and an immediate ad-
journment would have followed.
However the men from the anthra-
cite region asked for an adjournment
to give them time to consider the mat
ter separately. This was given, but If
was apparent that the men in favor OF
a strike were in the minority.
