The Plumbers Helper.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Your paper generally takes the side of
those in the right and also believes in fair
play. l think it about time fog those who
know something about these boys to assert
that the plumbers union is trying to deprive
them of their rights to learn trade, also cut
off their chance of making a honest living
and Is continually misrepresenting and put
ting them in a false position. Now, these are
the facts in the case, and l will try to eX-
plain the helpers position, so called A
boy entering an apprentice to a master
plumber starts out as "A helper and he is
called a helper for the first three years of
his apprenticeship He generally goes with
one man all the time. Iiif the one man is
permanently employed. At any rate, he goes
out with a ajourneymanp plumber always to
help hlm-that is, to hand him his tools or
hold a pipe for him, rush the groWler," or
do anything the journeyman tells him-and
as he learns (by looking on) so he advances
and the most Of his advance is learned and
made in the shop where he cuts pipe, learns
to wipe joints, etc; ;andtafter he has served
three years as Ihelper he then becomes
an apprentice with tools and can go out
and do small repairSjobs by himself, and on
large jobs he can tehelp with tools. Now
that is just how the case stands, and for
the plumbers to say that the helpers do
their work when work is slack does not say
very much for the 9journeymen, as during
the three years as helper the boy is con-
sidered too inexperienced to use tools. How
can he take the place of the journeyman?
If the union wants the sympathy of the
public why not make the fight fair and
square? Those boys who are now en-
ployed should be allowed to finish their
trade, no more apprentices to be employed
until each shop has ten men or less with
two boys and over ten men five boys. There
are plenty of apprentice boys that have
served part of their time helpers. so
called. They must go and become laborers
as they are too old to start at some other
trade, being between eighteen and nineteen
years old, and they must leave and go and
dig bitches for those very plumbers who
will say, What a great thing we have
DONE" But those poor, helpless helpers
cannot help themselves. May the master
plumbers win. Stick to your boys, and
may the sympathy of the press and public
help you in your battle for them.
JUSTICE.

BISHOP GRANT ON
THE COLOR QUESTION.

Mrs. Robert J. Burdette recently me,
Bishop Grant. a leader of the African
race, and who vas not long since sum
moned to the White House to confer
with the president. and of him she
asked this question:
Can the white clubwomen better
serve the women of your ace by bring
ing them into their organization"
And 20 this question Bishop Grant an
swered: Madam, as it always behe,
fits the lower to associate with the
higher, 1t would certainly help our col,
ored women to come into the associa,
ton of white women, but the question
the white clubwomen have to decide is
how they can best serve womankind at
large. Can they best do this by turn
ing the back on the white clubwomen
of the south, who need the national or
ganization in their development, and
extend the hand to the colored women,
or by holding on to the southern while
women and continuing to help, as in
the past. the colored women? That is
the issue which presents itself at this
stage

PORTO R|CAN TRADE
WITH UNITED STATES INCREASED
WITH PHENOMENAL RAPIDITY
DURING LAST YEAR.
Removal Of Tariff Restrictions In July
of Last Year Responsible for the
Volume Of Business Now Going On
Between Island and Mainland
Treasury Bureau Statement.

Washington. d. c.. April 25.-(Spe-
cial to The Republican.)-Commerce
between the United States and Porto
Rico is increasing with phenomenal
rapidly. especially since the removal of
all tariff restrictions in July of last
year. Our purchases from Porto Rico
are nearly three times as great as the
average during the closing five years
of Spanish rule in the island. while the
shipments from the United States to
Porto Rico are five times as great as
the average during the five years pre-
ceding the termination of Spanish
rule. The receipts of merchandise
from Porto Rico at the ports of the
United States now range between five
and six millions annually. the ship
ments to Porto Rico, which were about
eve million dollars in last fiscal year
seem likely to be ten millions in the
present fiscal year ending June 80.
This rapid growth in the movements
OF commerce between the ports of the
United States and Porto Rico is pre-
scented by a statement just prepared by
the Treasury Bureau of Statistics,
which shows that the shipments of
domestic merchandise from the United
States to Porto Rico in the eight
months ending with February amoun
ed to 5 6,SS7 ,O52. indicating that for the
full fiscal year the total shipments of
domestic and foreign goods from the
ports of the United States to Porto
Rico will aggregate about $4,000, 600.
The exports from the United States to
Porto Rico durig the Eve years ending
with 1898 averaged less than $1,000
600 per annum, and thus justify the as
sertion that our shipments of merchan
disc during the present year to Porto
Rico seem likly to be as much as in the
entire five years with 1898. Over four
fifths of the merchandise now brought
into Porto Rice is drawn from United
States, and a little over one-half of the
merchandise shipped from that ISL Id
is sent to the United States. The total
value OF goods shipped from the island
in the eight months ending with Feb
urary was $5.781, GIG. and of this sun
81. 016.2 5S, or SO per cent. was to United
States. The total value Of the mer-
chandise received into the island dur.
ing the same period was $S,413,07S, of
which s6,SS7, O52 or 80 per cent was
from the from the United States.

OWNS DOG AND LYNCH MAY BE
SUED FOR DAMAGES BY
WIFE OF THE OWNER.
Denver County Court Decides That
Former Union Pacific Dispatcher
Has Ownership Of Maine" and
Animal Has Been Awarded To Him
Case That Began in Laramie.

decided in the Denver county court,
this time the contestant in the proceed.
ings getting the better of the c%ontestee.
Mr.. Lynch is the well known Union Pa,
cific engineer and Mr.. Chandler was
formerly a dispatcher in this city but
now resides in Denver. The Denver
Republican of yesterday thus referred
to the matter:
By the verdict of a jury in the county
court yesterday J. ii. Chandler, train.
dispatcher on the Colorado and South,
ern railroad, recovered possession of
a st. Bernard dog named Maine" The
suit has been pending for some time
and went to the county court on an ap-
peal from Magistrate Rice's court.
Maine" the innocent cause of the
litigation, was born on the day that the
battleship Maine was blown up in Ha-
vana harbor. Chandler was then resid,
ing at Laramie, Wyo., where he was a
dispatcher on the Union Pacific rail
road. Some time during the spring of
1900 he became dispatcher of the Chi
cago and Northwestern railroad at
Waukesha, Wis. He left the dog with
George Lynch, an old friend, an engi-
heer on the Union Pacific. intending to
send for 1t later. In the summer of
1901 Chandler took his present position
In Denver. Lynch seemed to take it
for granted that he was to keep the
dog. but last September Mrs. Chandler
went to Laramie and got the dog when
the Lynches were not looking and
brought it to Denver.
Lynch, when he discovered that the
dog had been taken sent a telegram and
Mrs. Chandler was arrested at the de
pot in Denver. Chandler Immediately
replevined the dog. When the ease
came up for trial Magistrate Rice de-
cided against the Chambers. as Lynch
produced testimony that Mrs. Chand-
Ter had made him a present of Maine"
when she left for Wisconsin. An ap-
peal was taken to the county court.
Chandler yesterday introduced wit
nesses from Laramie who testified that
the dog belonged to him and as Lynch
could not produce witnesses to prove
the contrary, Judge Lindsey refused to
let him introduce testimony to prove
that the dog had been presented to
him by Mrs. Chandler On the ground
that Mrs. Chandler had no right to give
away a dog that did not belong to her.
Attorney John DeWeese has been in
structed by Mrs. Chandler to bring suit
for damages against Lynch.

An army surgeon recently returned
from service in the Philippines tells a
new story, which is one OF the best
that has come from our new posses
sions. He says a soldier was serving
in a regiment whose colonel was very
much averse to leaving the comforts
Of a city and who had pull enough to
get himself assigned to special duty in
Manila, which had caused his absence
from his regiment for several months.
In the meantime a portion of that par
ticular command got into a mix-up
with some stray insurgents, and incl
dentally the soldier referred to had an
eye. shot out. He put in some time in
the hospital, and when convalescent
was turned loose for a walk. AS he
strolled down the street he met q
friend. who, seeing the bandage which
hid the cavity, asked him, What hap
pened to your eyer" The soldiers
other eye twinkled. and with true
"dougtboy' wit he replied: Il wore
that eye out up-country looking for
that blooming colonel Of mine on the
