Mr.. CROMER'S FIGHT FOR
THE LETTER CARRIERS
Firm in His Advocacy of the Bill to
Reclassify Them.

communication received from Rep
resentative Cromer of Indiana indicates
that he has not abandoned the fight in
the House Committee on Postoffices and
Postroads in behalf of the bilr TO re-
classify the letter carriers.
Without going into the matter in de
tail, writes Mr.. C.omer, Il can say as
far as my experience on the committee
goes | consider the officers of the asso-
citation have utilized only the most le-
gitimate means in order TO further the
interests of their bill. They have con-
Quoted their campaign in a most frank
and open manner. President Keller ap-
peared before the committee and gave a
most lucid statement of the present con-
dition OF the carriers. their desires and
their reasons for believing themselves
entitled to further consideration at the
hands of the department. They have
merely attempted to prove to Congress
that a letter carrier is an Intelligent
part of the social and industrial organi-
Zation. and factor in the commercial
world; that upon his intelligence
promptness, and reliability depends to
IA considerable extent the social and in
dustrial development OF this country. On
these grounds they ask for an opportu-
nifty to obtain increased compensation.
Whether their efforts Will be success
full at the coming session of Congress /.
of course, am unable to say. but | am
satisfied that earnest, conscientious and
high minded conduct of the affairs OF
the association, such as has character
lied IL during the past session, cannot
fail to obtain for the carrier a fair and
impartial hearing sooner or later

PAINTERS SUCCEED
AFTER! SIXTEEN YEARS FEARS
Employers Grant s. for an
Eight-Hour Day.
New Rule Takes Effect September I,
With Board of Arbitration to
Settle Differences.

The wages of journeymen painters in
Washington will be raised to SO day
after September l.
An interesting history is connected. 1t
is said. with the SO and eight hours in
the painting trade of the city. In May
of 1886 SO was established as the wages
for days work OF nine hours Shortly
after the eight-hour agitation began and
the Painters Union. then connected with
the Knights Of Labor. demanded in Sep
temher of 1890 an eight t-hour day at the
same rate of wages. The demand was
refused by the Master Painters and
Decorators Association, and a strug-
gle ensued that perhaps has not been
equaled in the building trades of Wash
irgton. Ii resulted. 1t is stated, in the
entire disintegration OF the union.
The Master Painters Association then
established the wages at $3.50 for the
eight-hour day, and that has been the
wages and hours ever since.
Where Trouble Started.
Last fall the situation became COM
plicated by the formation of painters
union affiliated with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, the members of which
il is said, would not work with Knights
o: Labor men. nor would knights OF
Labor men work with them. Such con-
dition of affairs was regarded as a canse
of considerable trouble to the employer.
nd ba
is said. stepped in and formed a con-
tract with the union connected with the
Federation of Labor The contract stip-
ulated that preference would be given
men belonging to that union with wages
at $3.50 per day of eight hours. That
action seemed to settle the difficulty,
nearly all the journeymen connecting
with hat union.
During the spring the members of the
Master Painters Association, realizing
the increased cost OF living, proposed an
amendment to the contract making the
wages 50 per day Of eight hours. Thus
ends a movement begun sixteen years
ago for 's3 and eight hours" by a VOL
untary movement on the part of the
employers.
The contract provides for board VI
arbitration, consisting of three repre-
;entatives from the Master Painters AS
sociation and three from the union. and
that feature, as well as some other
minor provisions, has worked so we'll
that the present condition of the paint
rg trade, it is stated. is mutually
agreeable to both employers and work
men. and strong hopes are entertained
that strikes. lockouts or other misun-
may be avoided

A SOCIAL TRIUMPH
BY MRS. VANDERBILT 7

Lederer ishes to present The Wild
Rose from The Knickerbocker Theater
New York. In one act"
Transformed Into Ball Room.
At the conclusion of the performance
the guests sat down to supper at tables
placed about the lower floor of the villa,
when the theater was transformed into
ballroom. the orchestra being station
ed on the stage When the dance be-
gan the Wild Rose company was enter
tanned at dinner by Mrs. Vanderbilt.
A pleasing scene indeed was the ball
room after the arrangements had been
made for the dancing. While all were
at supper great change was taking
place there. for the general arrange
ment of things was on such a scale as
to excite the curiosity of many as TO
how so much could be accomplished in
SO short space of time
Platforms had been removed, decora-
tions changed, the great basket OF flow
ers hanging from the ceiling had become
brilliant chandelier containing hun
dreds OF tiny electric lights. scenery had
been readjusted and the band had been
placed on the stage, the gilt chairs arr
ranged for the cotillion. and all was
ready for the dance, when the guests
were disposed to leave the supper tables,
which had been decorated with Ameri-
can Beauty roses and wild roses.
Leaders of the Cotillion.
In fact the wild rose idea was pre-
valent everywhere in the garlands. in
the French baskets which formed such
beautiful pictures, in the ball room, and
in the many vases scattered through the
house. When the guests again entered
the ball room the cotillion was danced.
the leaders being Mr.. Henry Worthing
Bull, who danced with Mrs. Vanderbilt.
and Mr.. J. ID. II. Baldwin. who had Miss
May Goelet for partner. Mrs. Van
derbilt wore d becoming gown OF pale
green mousscline de sole and a large
picture hat.
In the middle Of the cotillion a great
surprise was sprung when all were
asked to be seated and the colored
comedians, Williams and Walker. with
their wives. appeared on the ball room
floor and executed a cake walk.
All the favors for the cotillion were
very handsome, and included hand
painted ians, necktie cases, silver baS-
kets. match boxes. and cigarette cases.
crystal atomiaers dolls and mechani-
cal toys, flowers. enameled buckles. pin
cushions. and hundreds of other pretty
articles. Following the cotiIlion there
was second supper and then general
dancing.
Grounds Also Decorated
The grounds about the house were
seen to their best advantage by the use
of electrical devices, in connection with
numerous groups of hot house plants
among the beautiful trees. which were
scattered about the lawn.
Among those who entertained at din
ner early in the evening were Mrs Og-
den Goelet and Mrs. Pembroke Jones.
Among Mrs. Goelet's guests were the
