UNION WAS ORGANIZED.

The second meeting of the laboring
men Of the city, which was held in the
court house, Monday evening, was
largely attended, the assembly room
being filled to it's capacity.
Secretary McEwen and J. Gordon
O'Neill addressed the meeting and gave
the invitation for the signing of the
membership roll. One hundred respond
ed to the call Monday evening, and
were initiated into the union together
with those who had signed Sunday
evening. The total number initiated
amounts to IT'S and will be largely in
creased Immediately, until no doubt
almost the entire force of saw mill
workers in the city will be banded to-
gether.
The local union selected the follow
ing officers: ss$
President, Eber Beattle; vice presi-
dent, r. E. Gotta; secretary, F. E..
Coon; treasurer, F.. j. Lilley; marshal,
George Colts; inspector, A. w. Jones;
trustees, Harris Halseth, William
Ragan, Charles Swanson.
The local union of saw mill workers
will affiliate with the Longshoremen's
association, which Mr.. O'Neill repre-
sents.
Both Mr.. McEWen and Mr.. O'Neill
went to Brainerd Tuesday morning,
where they expect to stop for few
days to look. the situation over.
There are to be other unions or
ganized in the city, among them prob
ably a carpenters and jojners' union
A federated union of labor, which in
cludes all trades, is also being talked
of and will perhaps be organized.
The officers of the state federation
and dsLongshoremen's association intend
co give the city more of their attention
from this time on.
All who We're interested in the meet
ing, the visitors, the workingmen and
employers are highly pleased with the
success of the venture

REAL HEROES COMING.

After all the fuss we have been max
ing over the cheap heroes Of an easy
war what need of public honor and
private admiration have we left to
offer the most skilMul and gallant fight
ers of the toughest war since the bat
tie of Waterloo? Generals Botha and
Delarey are coming to the United
States to collect funds for the relief
Of widows and orphans Of Boer sol.
diers. They will get abundant funds
all right. Unless we mistake the tenn
per of the American people they will
get much more.
We have a talent in this country for
enthusiastic admiration of military
achievement of the old sort; that is to
say, of brilliant leadership in battle,
and of gallant personal combat, rather
than clever working out Of strategic
problems and skilfull directions of
the movements of troops. Modern war
fare gives little room for this kind Of
performance on the part Of generals
Most of the real fighting has to be done
by obscure subordinates, and at such
arms length that the radiance of per-
sonal valor is obscured But here come
two generals who have gained world
wide renown in the war of tiny ma
tion with the greatest empire, in which
they led their troops like the war chiefs
of their Teutonic ancestors and dared
the perils of battle like the princes who
fought with Agamemnon.
There has been nothing like this
since British generals, French marshals
and the old heroes trained under the
great Frederick, grappled in Spain and
Germany and met in that death strug-
gle in Belgium. The conditions of mod
ern warfare are such that the thing
may never occur again. We imagine
that the American people will not be
able to see enough of these people or
to pay them enough honor The capa-
city for admiration of personal valor in
war not ONLY outlives the thing itself
but gains feverish strength by denial
of an object. See how we have been
SOLDERING over tWo-penny heroes for
the last three years. If the nation does
not lose its head when these men come

RAISING MONEY.
Significance of Movement to Sup
port Miners. -s

Protected manufacturers and mine
owners also raise money, but with a
very different object in view. A few
facts:
Secretary Wilson Of the coal miners
organization told the miners conven-
tion at Indianapolis that it would cost
100000 per week to support all, the
men now on strike lin the anthracite
region. He figured that an assessment
of 81 per week on thes soft coal miners
would provide half Of this sum, and he
believed that the other half would be
supplied from outside sources.
The raising Of this large sum of
money will involve mo small sacrifice
and self-denial on sthe part of men
whose earnings are by no means
princely, with all the alleged protec-
ton afforded them by Republican
statesmen against the "pauper labor
of Europe 1t means the cutting off
of good many things with which they
and their families cannot dispense
without considerable discomfort
There are other PEOPLE who contrib
ute money too. There are people who
have a good deal to- contribute. Many
of them are employers Of the miners
who propose to contribute to the sup
port of the striker.
But there are differences The min
ers contribute moiiey for an honest
purpose-to feed the striking miners
and their fanilies! There is no con-
cealment about It's because there is
nothing about 1t toAbe ashamed Of.
The employers contribute money b to
pack conventions and secure the nom
ination of men fer congress and to
promote the election of men to both
houses of congress who can be relied
on to maintain the sacred tariff. They
contribute money not only to. secure
the election of men who will stand ur
for Dingleyism tosthe minutest letter
but also to pay their lobbies and their
attorneys in congress and the know :
ing statesmen who have to be propi-
tiated. They do not advertise these
facts. S'NS5Ssss

ence Of their striking fellow workers

thousands of millions Of capital and
practically all the politicians of the
Republican party and which through
an infamous perversion of the powers
and functions of government wrest
hundreds Of millions every year from
the people, including their own work
ing men and women, for whose benefit
they falsely pretend their tariff is in

NEWSPAPER TRUST COMING.

Capitalization Of capital in the news
paper field is rapidly gaining ground.
The Philadelphia Ledger has been pur-
chased by the publisher of the Times
in that city, who also owns the New
York Times and Chattanooga Times.
Collier & Son, who control the New
York Daily News the Washington
Times, Munsey's, Golfers and other
ma gaines, have formed a million
dollar combine to obtain possession of
other papers. They declare they hold
options on forty plants in New York
state alone. Morgan is said to stand
behind Collier with all the money that
will be needed. The news monopoly
is bound to come and the printer folks
might as well prepare for it.

A FEW s"AUTONOMY" FIGHTS.

1t is reported that the A. F. of L.
executive council has filed notice on
the Amalgamated Society of Engineers
that the Machinists, Blacksmiths and
Patternmakers must be given COM
plete jurisdiction or the society's char
ter would be annulled on Oct. 1. The
Firemen and Engineers are also push
ing their fight against the brewers and
President Lightall, of the engineers,
has telegraphed the A. F. of L. de-
manding that the Brewers charter be
revoked. This demand will be held in
allegiance for the time being. The
Woodworkers are trying to compel the
Carpenters to give up the mill men,
which the brotherhood refuse to do.
The latter have also started a fight
against the Amalgamated Carpenters
pretty well all over the country. The
Molders have filed notice that they are
going to take the Brass Molders away
from the Metal .Polishers and Brass
Workers, and half a dozen other Ma
tional Unions are also grabbing for
each others members.

RAIDING LITTLE CHILDREN.
a chicago dispatch SAWS 4o children.

"A Chicago dispatch says 40 children,
all beggars or peddlers, were, arrested
in raid in down. town streets by the
police. Many others escaped That is
a splendid way Of putting an end to
the heinous offense Of the little beg
gars, who refuse to quietly crawl into
some back alley and starve to death.
Throw 'em into Jail Or build an amphi-
theatre and feed them to the wild
beasts, as the Roman plutocrats did.
Capitalism is such humane system,
and it is cruel to allow children tc
suffer and beg and animals to go
hungry.

CLOAK MAKERS.

Fickleness.

Samuel Gompers Tells of Their
Ficl&leness.
In an address at a picnic of the San
Francisco union cloakmakers Samuel
Gompers said:
''I have had experience with the
cloakmakers, and, having participated
in their struggles, there is word Of
admonition that I want to administer.
I admire your courage, and want to
say that the cloakmakers have shown
the greatest courage and heroism al
ternating with the greatest weak
ness and lack of fidelity to one an
other. I have seen them go hungry,
have seen them burn the chairs and
tables of their homes for warmth,
have seen them sleep at night on the
floor Of the union headquarters, and
then, when they have won their fight
for more pay and shorter hours, I have
seen them desert the union"

it's value to saw mill men as well as
others. He then gave the invitation
to the men to step forward and sign
the membership roll Of the proposed
union. He explained the expense. The
membership fee is SO, charter fee,
which the union as whole pays, after
that five cents per. month per capita
tax and such dues as the local organi-
zation sees fit to levy. Seventy-five
men signed the roll of the proposed
saw mill workers union and another
meeting will be held this evening in the
assembly room of the new court house,
when the organizer expects to secure
practically all Of the workers.

CAPITULATES.
w. .Roeloefs Hat Factory Has Been
UniOnized.

After fifteen months struggle the
United Hatters bring one of the largest
hat manufacturers. Of Philadelphia to
that point that they unionize their fac
tory. This is the same firm who sued
the Hatters Union for $125,OO damages
a short time ago. Tolinsky Bros, of
Beaumont. Tex, and of the largest
wholesale houses in that part Of the
country, countermanded an order,
which amounted to something like $685.
600 for the very reason that the hats
had no union labels; other jobbers in
other parts of the country followed the
same tactics, hence the complete VIC
tory for the United Hatters. This is
one Of the biggest victories for the hat
ters in many years.

FAT MEN RESERVES WIN.
Took Full Set of Three Games From
CAROLS Second Team.

Except in the first game. the set of three
won by the Jolly Fat Mems Reserves on
their alleys last night from the Carroll
Institute Reserve team was never in
doubt. The winning team was in
fine form, and. being at home knew
its wood well, and bowled only high
scores. none being below the 500 mark.
The Carroll team has won eight out of
twelve games from the Fat Mems Re-
serves. but last night the latter won the
only full set the CAROLS have lost this
season.
The first game was interesting from the
start, and in the seventh box the Carols
led by about. twenty pins. and then they
fell into a lot of splits. and lost thef lead
and the game by a big margin.
Howard. who is usually good for a good
average. injured his hand in the second
game and dropped down in his score. and
in the next frame gave way to Harlow.
Crist bowled high single. with 205. and
had best average. lS0: Waters next, with
1863. and Cox l65. Clever spares were
plentiful and among those the best made
was the 40 by Merritt. Crist picked
two the $40 and 4-5-7. and Hoffman the

A PLEASING RECITAL.
Baron Won Frankenstein's Music Greatly
Enjoyed.

Washington has had the opportunity OF
hearing many prominent musicians dur
ing the season just closing, but 1t Is
doubtful il any recital given here has
served to present more pleasing group
of artists than that given yesterday after
noon at the New Willard, when the com
positions of Baron Clemens Won Frank
enstein were interpreted by the composer
and three distinguished musicians from
New York. Mrs. Morris Black, contralto;
Mr.. William \. Wegener, tenor, and Mr..
John Spargur, violinist
Baron Won Frankenstein is a brother of
the popular attache of the Austrian Le-
CATION, and his compositions have been
widely recited throughout Europe, but it
was not until yesterday that a portion OF
the music public of Washington was given
an opportunity to know and appreciate
the worth of several of these works.
Baron Won Frankenstein oificiated at the
piano and illustrated his own methods in
interpreting the separate scores, some of
which are extremely difficult and requir
ing a wide knowledge of music in their
performance.
The program was an Interesting one,
including three groups of German lieder,
each written in an individual and charm
ing style. and a wonderfully conceived
theme and variations in G minor for yio-
lin, which Mr.. Spargur played in excellent
form.
Mrs Morris Black. contralto. has been
heard in Washington before. and, as form
erly delighted her admirers by her beau
tiful voice and intelligent reading. Her
songs were all given with much ease,
grace and musical feeling.
Mr.. Wegener is a tenor not too well
known here. but one whom Washingto-
mans would like to hear more often. His
voice is beautiful and his Interpretation
of his numbers were all that could be de-
sired. 1t would be difficult to select one
from those allotted to him on the pro-
gram as having been sung in superior
style, but certainly nothing more delight
full than Die Liebste Sprach" has been
heard here for some time.
There were many prominent society
people present at the recital yesterday, as
the composer counts his friends among
those who take a conspicuous part in the
winters gayeties at the Capital.

GATES IN c., B. & @. FIGHT.
Magnate Trying to Force Railway to
Buy New Line.

NEW YORK. April "a fight is on be-
tween John W. Gates and the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy management. When
Mr. Gates sold the Quincy. Omaha and
Kansas City road to the Burlington. he
neglected to include in that transaction
the available coal properties tributary to
that line. The Quincy and Omaha, there
fore. was left without coal properties and
Mr.. Gates. it is alleged, took steps to
organize the independent coal operators
in the district into a combine so as to
shut out the Burlington entirely.
Mr. Gates then organized the Iowa and
St Louis Railroad and began to build a
railroad up and down the Charlton Valley
in Iowa from Novinger to point on the
Quincy, Omaha and Kansas City near the
heart of the principal coal district on that
road About ten miles of this new road
have been completed and an opportunity
has been offered to the Burlington man
agement to buy the road.
James J. Hill and his associates. VINO
practically control the Burlington. are
sverse to being coerced into buying John
". Gates road, and other plans have
been adopted. Burlington representatives
have secured a charter for the Charlton
Valley Railroad Company of Kansas City,
and contracts are being let for the con-
struction of line through the Charlton
Valley from Novinger on the Quincy.

The propositions in the pending bill

several were knocked down at figures
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000.
Since Tuesday some of the parties in
terested in the sale had looked up the
law relating to the subject. and yesterday
morning the statement was sprung that
after two years the law re,i iires that in

Close Contest Until Last Inning-Many
Costly Errors by Both Teams-Cornell
Superior in Stick Work - Score by
Innings.
Especial to The Washington Times.)

ANNAPOLIS. Md. April 9.-Cornell Uni
versity baseball team defeated the Naval
Cadets here today in a game that was full
of errors. The final score was 10 to 6.
The game began shortly after o'clock,
and by agreement playing was stopped at
5:35 in order that the Ithacans might
catch the evening train. Six innings were
all that were finished in that time.
The Cornell boys proved their superiori-
ty in stick work. but the young sailors
kept them guessing all the time. Six to
six was the score in the fourth inning.
In the sixth and last inning, by series
of placed hits. the Ithacans managed to
tally four more runs.
The cadets made on effort to add to
their score in this inning. but their at
tempts were of no avail. Raudenbush
reached first and took second on Weaver 5
hit. Station flied to Brewster Read
struck out, and Childs knocked a high one.
which was caught by Drake. A cold. driz-
zling rain fell during the game, causing
numerous and costly errors.
