IoSy 1t was stated that the postofIlcs
force was very much opposed to the
move toward the closing of the once
on Sunday. Now 1t might be Ques-
tion as to who constitutes the s'forcep
but allowing, In this case, that all
those employed In the handling of the
mails on Sunday, be included, only 1
minority OF the force are opposed to 10,
while majority favor it. Therefore
speaking from parliamentary stand
point where the voice OF each indiyid.
ual has equal force, the postofllce force
favors Sunday closing.
A MAJORITY.

THIRTY POUND PIKE
Landed by a Lad From the West Side
on Sunday-Big Crowd Watches him
Land the Fish.

Sunday afternoon West side lad
landed a thirty pound pike near the
wharf. He had been fishing and his
line lay idly acress the boat and down
the river He thought that he would
start for home. Starting to pull up
his line be was surprised to find that
he had hooked whale and railroad
train not to mention several other
furms of motive power.
The boat ran out into the river and
up and down. Everyone who was
watching had different plan OF cam
paign to give the lad who Kept cool in
pulling in his line.
Finally the fish was landed in the
boat. 1t was then taken TO shore
where he was examined thoroughly.
1t was monster pike and weighed
thirty pounds. No one knew the boy
who had landed him. Some say his
name is West.
At any ra he went home with the
fish he had caught on Sunday and
judging from his expression he did not
regard it as bad luck to catch fish of
that kind on Sunday.

wise there will be General Strike
on Saturday.
The carpenters and joiners union
held meeting on Saturday night.
They decided to enforce their demand
for signing of the scale and az agree
ment on the part OF the contractors
not to work non union men on any
job where union men are liable be
employed.
A settlement with Bloom and Hart
man has been affected. They have
consented to sign the scale. There
has never been any tronble about the
rate Of wages. The union aud the
contractors both agree as TO this fact.
The matter in dispute is whether or
not non union men are to be allowed
to work on jobs where union men are
engaged.
The contractors are given until
Saturday morning to consider this
matter They have meeting set for
Fridny evening. In case they refuse to
accept the decision of the union a
general strike will be ordered.
This means that every union man
10 town will quit work. The clerks,
the BARRIERS, the plasterers, the paint
ers. the rest OF organized labor will
stop working.
II will make things very uncomfort-
as { add niil Lalnpef the progress OF

they demanded an apology from ]. G.

Members Of the union who were
seen today stated that they thought
everything would be amicably settled
today and that the work about town
would not suffer in consequence of the
differences which have arisen.
The difficulty between the carpen-
tiers and Bloom and Hartman was
settled at noon when the contractors
signed the scale. Work will resume
at once on the Hirschman Job where
it had been suspended pending set

worked on the job. 1t is thought
that other contractors will follow this

the swindling, lying, begging tramp, who is
not victim, but who victimizeS humanity
at large The first class II is easy TO under
stand. His desire to see the world, to have
adventures, to walk on white roads between
green fields to live in the sunlight, are
very human desires, with which ii is easy
to sympathize. And 1T Is a phase of youth,
which frequently passes with youth. The
men find that In the long run IL doesn't pay
the time when this conviction Is forced
hOme-are easily reformed.
The second class ii is easy to be sorry
for, but pitifully hard to be reasonably
hopeful for. The tramps whom alcohol has
wrecked, like their fellows in every walk
of life, are hard to reform. And they have
not the incentives Of self-respect, family
pride and loving friends. Still the institu-
tons for destitute inebrfates may do much
for them.
But the third class, the lying begging.
the big cities is a well nigh hopeless prop
osition The authorities cannot be too hard
on this class. He has become a tramp
through sheer lazness and viciousness. Jail
is his place. His theory in life appears to
be IF you don't want to work, and you
don't have to work, why should you work %
Why, indeed, since the dear public is an
easy mark?
Mr.. Marsh hopes during the summer to
learn in Europe much about the tramp
over there as he has during the winter OF
the tramp over here. He proposes, as he
has studied the one, to study the other
his methods and his treatment. Whether
or not Europe has solved the tramp ques-
ton any more satisfactorily than Uncle Sam
is one of the things that he hopes to find
out before he gets back.
