Workers.
ABOUT 700 GO OUT

BURLINGTON, n. j., July 3.-Four of
The seven shoe factories of this place were
rendered idle today by strike of employees
which is expected to extend to the remain
ing three establishments tonight. The
plants affected are those of the Budd Baby
Shoe Company, said TO be the most extern
sive manufacturers of baby shoes in the
world: r. T. Wood & Company, the Stand
ard Shoe Company and the Bastian Shoe
Company. The seven factories employ
more than 800 men and women, and of
this number about 700 are now on strike.
Shoemaking is the principal industry of
Burlington.
The strike is the result of notice posted
in all the factories announcing that when
the works reOpened next Monday, after the
holiday cessation, none but non-union
hands would be employed The strikers
claim that in recent years their wages have
been gradually reduced until now they are
receiving 80 per cent less for their work
than was the case ten years ago. In con-
sequence of this reduction they formed a
union for the purpose of securing better
conditions. Up to the present time, how
ever. they have made no demands on the
manufacturers.

UNFINISHED WORK.
Nearly II, 200 Sets of Unmarked Ex-
animation Papers,

At the close of the week ended June %
the last Saturday of the fiscal year, there
remained in the files of the civil service
commission 10,967 sets of unmarked exami-
nation papers This total exceeds by more
than 5000 the record of last year and has
excited some discussion as to the inadvisa-
bility of limiting the work of the commits
sion by an insufficient clerical allowance
Under ordinary circumstances the whole
civil service force can dispose of a few
less than 1000 sets Of papers each week.
But with the extra work now scheduled, in
the. form Of special examinations, it is I'M
likely this pile of unfinished work left over
from the last fiscal year can be cleared
away before November /.
By working over time the clerks of the
commission have been able recently to
mark 2519 sets of papers in one week, thus
enabling the officials of the Post Office De-
partment to appoint not quite 5000 post Of
flee clerks within fortnight, a new record
for competitive appointments These post
Office examinations began May 2S
In the IL 900 excess examinations papers
indicated about 100 separate examinations
are represented covering positions ranging
from the comparatively unskilled labor of
an elevator operator to the highest salaried
scientific posts in the Philippines.

PIRRIE ON SUBSIDIES
TESTIMONY BEFORE COMMITTEE
OF HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Believes They Tend to Encourage In
eficiency-Plea for the Ship
ping Combine.

LONDON, July 3.-The committee of the
house of commons appointed to inquire
into the question of subsidies today heard
William ]. Pirrie, chairman of the Harland
and Wolff Shipbuilding Company. This wit
ness, who figured so prominently in the re-
cent j. P. Morgan shipping combine, ex-
pressed the opinion that the subsidies were
given merely as a bounty and serve to en-
courage inefficiency, and that even where
they could legitimately be bestowed the
tendency of subsidies would be to foster
individual as against general interests Mr..
Pirrie regarded foreign subsidies as
blessing in disguise, they stimulated
British ship owners to keep more abreast
of the times.
Replying to a question of the chairman,
Mr.. Pirrie said the Morgan combine, which
he preferred to call community of in
terests," was established purely for COM
mercial purposes and on entirely business
principles. He was convinced that dan
gerous international situation was rapidly
approaching at the time the deal was eff
fected, but by the creation of this commu-
nifty of interests the future of British ship
ping as well as of British shipbuilding was
assured In short, Mr.. Pirrie considered
the deal to be in every way satisfactory to
the British. Giving subsidies would only
invite retaliation in the most important
markets of the world. The extent of state
assistance to German shipping was greatly
exaggerated.
Mr.. Pirrie also said that the feeling
against the combination due to misap
prehension. All they had been doing
to act on the advice of the Prince of
Wales when he said: England must wake
up" Mr.. Pirrie thought that the best way
for the government to help British shipping
was to deepen the approaches to and other
wise improve the chief ports.

SENATOR HANNA AT CLEVELAND.
He Discusses Republican Chances in
Ohio This Fall.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 3.-Senator
Hanna reached here just before noon. He
will be conspicuous factor in the Ohio
campaign this fall. There is no reason
why the republicans should not carry
Ohio he said. These are glorious times
The state is prosperous and everybody has
plenty of work. The republican party is re-
sponsible for the prosperity. Then the ad
ministratiOn of Gov. Nash was excellent,
and the legislature did good work. The
entire state ticket and sixteen republican
members of Congress ought to be elected"
Speaking of che duties before the special
session Of the legislature, the senator said
The passage of a municipal code act
should come first, such a law should be
simple though effective. The one introduced
at the regular session was too long and
complicated. The legislature will have to
remedy the defects in the Royer act, which
dePrives the supreme court of most of it's
Jurisdiction, and also straighten out the
tangle with respect to the manner of re-
munerating county officials. These three
subjects Will give the legislature plenty to
do without touching upon other things"

MIDSHIPMEN AT LARGE.
President Has Made Appointments and
Their Alternates.

One important change in existing law
made by the naval appropriation act was
to permit each United States senator to
nominate for appointment one midshipman
at the Naval Academy. The term mid
shipman" is hereafter to be applied to the
boys, who since 1882 have been known as
cadets" the latter term being regarded by
Congress not sufficiently distinctive
while a certain sentiment attaches TO the
word ''midshipman." In addition to these
senatorial nominations which by the way,
have nearly all been made, the new law
also permitted the President to appoint
five additional midshipmen al large to the
academy, and these he has named, as fol-
lows:
Carlisle p. Winslow. son OF Lieut. Fran
els Winslow, L. S. N, retired; Archibald
d. Turnbull, son of Mr.. Frank Turnbull. a
former naval officer; Edward Porter Roelk-
er, son of Capt. Charles r. Rocker, T. s.
N; Stephen Q. Garst, son of Commander p
Garst; Bradley T. Johnson, jr.. son of Gen.
Bradley T. johnson, late of the confederate
army.
The following named young men have
been designated alternates. two in the case
of each of the above-named midshipmen:
John Blandin, son of the late Lieut.. J. j.

BAILEY'S FRIENDS AROUSED.
Say That an Effort Will Be Made to
Discipline Solicitor Penfeld.

The rejonder of Solicitor Penfield of the
State Department to Senator Baileys criti-
cisms of him was an absorbing topic of
conversation today in official and political
circles. Senator Baieys friends were very
much aroused over the incident, and bit
terly criticised the official for his course.
Some of Senator Bailey's friends said
that a demand would certainly be made
upon the President or Secretary Hay for
the disciplining of Solicitor Penfield They
pointed out that the President had vigor-
ously reprimanded officers of the army of
high rank for comments upon senators of
a far less opprobrious character. Sena-
tor Bailey's friends said the incident would
not be permitted to drop. at any rate.
Senator Bailey himself was out of the
city yesterday, but returned early this
morning He was seen by no one and when
inquiry was made at his hotel it was said
he had again left the city. Senator Bailey's
friends do not apprehend that he will call
Solicitor Penfield to personal account but
they will urge him to reach the case
through Judge Penfields superiors.

character.
Some months ago certain employees I'M
der Perrault wrote to the civil service COM
mission, making the charge that during the
national campaign of 1900 the entire office
force had been requested to make contribu-
tions, the solicitation being by the chief
clerk and the chief craftsman and in the
building occupied by the surveyor generals

llcltation was done not only with the
knowledge and approval of Perrault but
under his orders, and that the sum collect
ed had been brought to him before being
turned over to the treasurer of the state
committee. Perrault was one of the vice
chairmen of this committee and took an
active part in the campaign.
THE civil service commission made an
investigation of the charges. Perrault re-
Iused TO testify. AS a result the President
decided not to renominate him.

rates of tariff which have been imposed by

That duty was imposed as a result of the

The Spanish government has concluded

Mr.. Storer is also engaged in the nego-
