The removal Of the capitol is not L
remote possibility by any means The
Charleston papers have at last awakened
to that fact and one OF them is deyoting
columns Of space in trying TO persuade
the Legislators that they should mot dis.
turb the death trap, but continue to
come to Charleston. get sick and die.
The other paper says Charleston really
does not want the capitol longer. Since
this is the situation, it ought now to be
an easy matter for the Legislature; to
decided TO act in the best interests of
the people and order the removal of the
capitol to healthy and accessible point
rs soon US possible. The Legislature
ought to do. that ~ matter OF self
protection, and for the. health of sue.
ceeding legislatures The Republican
l;party does not owe it to the people to
continue that graveyard factory. The
Democratic party is under no such OBJ
| LEGATION either. The Charleston papers
may or may not want the capitol to re-;
main there, but that is not reason the
health Of our Legislators should be jeop-
,rdized.

The action OF the Fuller Company
came as a surprise. as It was generally
understood that Its sympathies were
with the labor unions. Members OF the
company said to-day that It had become
necessary to control the unions and
that this was the final step.
The Fuller Company has adopted the
same plan Of arbitration as that OF the
Employers Association and has sent
notice TO all the labor unions that as
soon as they sign this agreement they
will be re-emp,oyed. The agreement
virtually does away with the walking

MAKERS
OUT ON STRIKE
Employees of Two Big Factories
Say They Have to Work So
Many Hours that 1t Makes
Them Melancholy.

The employees of two OF the biggest
coffin manufactures in New York.
Stolts C Taylor and Hornthal. Morgan
DC Co.. are out on strike to-day for a
nine-and-a-half-hour workday Ave days
a week and three hours on Saturday.
They have been accustomed to work ten
hours a day six days n week and they
a that Is too long. 1t makes them
melancholy. They argue that fifty and
a half hours are as long as they want
to work in a week. They say they
ought to have the best part OF Sat
urday and all OF Sunday to work up a
smile in and forget their work and
they are going to stick out for their
demands.
The Sentimental comn-Maker.
You see. IT'S his way said one
OF the coffin-makers to n reporter OF

air. swinging a pick or handling a
shovel. or down In the subway. there's
life around you and you don mind At
so. much. But say whon a fellow puts
that much time In hammering dead
boxes together his thoughts don't run
to life somehow. You Just naturally
think of h end and wonder who'll
be put into the box or coffin or casket
that you're working on, wondering what
part of the world IL will land in, what
sort of a uerson it'll he, young or old,
how they died. whether they were
happy or CAD. what they were and
what they might have been. You think
of all sorts of things like that n hen
wonder. too, II you're not making your
own conn-that's IL It's not an expen-
at sounds strange, doesn't it. to hear
n man who makes his living putting up

strange. but We think of things all the

people would think. So you see we've

Another striker, who wac not so much
of a philosopher, expressed his belief in
the Justice OF the cofin-makers' de-
mands.
said, III we had to stay out long. but
II can't be helped. There would be a

but unless we get somc time to our

Under the new system, except for a

Between 10000 and 100000 worlemen
of all trades are Idle to-day on account
Of the strike. followed by the general
lockout, OF the employees and con-
tractors In the building trades.
Both employers and employees are de-
termined to fight the issue to a finish.
and the general tie-up of building In
the city may continue for months.
The labor unions started the war on
May 4 with a general strike all along
the line. This progressed 30 we'll that
everything was about to be adjusted.
when the general body Of the labor
unions split In two factions.
The employing contractors refused to
frtatvIonger. and ordered a lockout. The
Fuf.er Company to-day Joined the Build
ting Trades Employers Association In
the, movement. \ and 10000 more men
wore thrown out OF work..
The Employers Association demands
tina hereafter the labor unions agree
to arbitration OF all disputes. and in
sists that the walking delegates be cut
NJ from the unions affairs.
Unions Take Action.
Action was taken to-day by the
Building Mechanics Association at a
meeting at No. l6O East Elghty-slxth
street, that may put the employing con-
= tractors again on tho defensive. in
stead OF holding the whip hand as they
did by ordering the lockout of all the
building trades unions.
Secretary William H. Farley. of the
Board OF Delegates, would not make
public the plan OF the labor unions. but
declared that steps were taken that Will
force the employing contractors to mod
lily their imperative demands.
I'VE OF the skilled labor union find
no fault with the arbitration plan pro-
posed by the Building Trades EN-
ployers' Association" said Farley to-
day, but we do object to giving up our
business agents.
1--WE will not give them up either. That
one thing is the sole stumbling block
Just now.
Won't Give Up Agents.

are vital to a labor union. True. there
are 'grafters' among the walking dele
rates, but We are on their trails OUR
selves and will see that we have none
but honest. intelligent representatives.
1--WE are not worrying. On May 4
the labor unions planned the great
strike and were prepared to fight It out
for months. Then It was practically
called Off after only five weeks. Next
the employers locked us out. We are
Hxed to fight n year If necessary and
