CARPENTERS UNIONS
MAY EFFECT MERGER
Brotherhood and Amalgamated So
ciety to Meet in Cleveland.

joint meeting Of the United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners Of Amer
ica and the Amalgamated Society OF
Carpenters and Joiners will be held in
Cleveland. Ohio. August II, for the pur
pose of considering a union of the two
organizations.
President Gompers, OF the American
Federation of Labor, offered the labor
headquarters in Washington as meet
Ing place for this discussion. but Cleve-
land was chosen as the more convenient
spot for both organizations.
II is thought that such a union Will
benefit both organizations, and prevent
any difficulties that might arise il they
remained separate. The United Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners of Amer
lea has membership of 10000. while
the Society of Carpenters and Joiners
has but 5000 in America. The society
however, is very strong in England and
Australia. An amalgamataion Of the two
organizations will bring the great body
of American carpenters into closer touch
with the English and Australian unions.

JAPANESE LAbORERS
HAVE GONE ON STRIKE
JinrikiSha PullerS Resent Establish
ment of Boat Service.

Labor organizations and strikes have
MT Japan broadside. The most serious
labor trouble in the little island king
dom has been with the jinrikisha men
In the city of Osaka. Consul C. z. Bel
lows, of Yokohama. has made a report
to the State Department OF the unusual
strike Osaka is manufacturing city
OF 100000 people. and the jinrikisha
men there number $4,000. Mr.. Bellows
describes their strike as follows:
For travel about the streets of the
city the visitor has to depend upon the
Jinrikisha. each vehicle usually accom-
modating only one grown person. and
re Iuiring the services OF one puller. In
many cases the puller or kurumay owns
his vehicle and works on his own ac-
count. but in other instances several
jinrikishas are owned by one man. who
hires his pullers.
The city is intersected by rivers and
canals, on which a boat service has
lately been established. so as to enter
into competition with the business OF
and determined to quit work on June IL
last. Accordingly. on that day 1t was
almost impossible to obtain jinrikisha
in any part of the city. and the idle
men gathered on the corners OF the
streets to attack those OF their fellows
who had not joined the strike and were
seen drawing passengers. or they assem-
bled at the bridges and other points of
vantage to throw stones and other mis-
siles at the passing boats.
"A mob OF strikers also started to-
ward the building where the boat com
pany has its headquarters with the pur-
pose of demolishing It. but they were
intercepted by the police and dispersed
before reaching their destination
Efforts were made to set some OF the
boats on FIRE. and one boat was so
roughly handled that passengers. be-
coming frightened, attempted to leave
her before she reached her mooring.
Many of the men passengers waded
ashore.
''The strikers held two mass meet
|ings," concludes Mr. Bellows. AT aae
of these meetings the adoption of vio
lent measures was advocated even 80
the point of destroying all the property
of the boat company. At the other meet
ing the feeling seemed less intense. On
June IA. however. matters had been ad-
jcsted and both jinrikishas and the boats
were again carrying passengers as usual
The strikers lost their case

EXPLAINS CONTRACT
/. FOR PUBLIC BUILDING
Secretary Shaw's Reply to Criticism OF
Action Of Department.

Secretary Shaw has answered the ac-
verse criticisms upon the action OF tho
Treasury Department in letting the COP
tract for the Cleveland public buildings.
by writing a letter of explanation % the
disappointed bidders, who have been
stirring up all the trouble since ire
award was announced The contract
was let to Bradley & Sons. OF New York.
who agreed to construct the building OF
sandstone for ssOS. 600 less than the low
est bid for Maine granite. The Charles
was the lowest bidder for the construc-
tion of granite building, but the dih-
erence was only $500.
Cleveland business men are divided
concerning the choice OF material The
Treasury Department favors granite, but
was compelled to take sandstone for the
reason that the appropriation was in
sufficient for granite. The Secretary OF
The Treasury had inserted in the award
the proviso that granite could be de-
marded by the payment OF $30S, 900 more
than the contract price for sandstone.
The McCaul Company complained that
IL there was any thought OF erecting the
building out of granite the contract
should go 20 the lowest bidder. The
company also charged that Brad
ley & Sons had made straw bid;
that John Pierce is the real contractor.
but that be could not get a Government
contract on account OF bad record On
former contracts.
Sscretarw Shaw tells why the provj
sion for granite was inserted. and adds
that as the difference in the two bids
T r 3 ante IS only s2.sO6, be does not
see nov the McCaul Company has been
prejudiced. He declares that all insin-
uatlons against the successful contract
or as being in the interest of another
are are gratuitous and not supported by
facts.

DEALERS TITLE TO GOODS
SOLD ON INSTALL LMENT PLAN
Virginia Court Decides They Can Seize
Them When Purchasers Default.

A decision of much interest and also
Importance to local dealers who sell
their wares on the installment plan in
virginia was made yesterday by Judge
Lcve In the Alexandria county court.
He held that under the contracts entered
into by purchasers. the agents Of the
sellers have right TO seize property
when the buyer is in default of pay
ment- The question arose on the appeal
of Edmund Maddox, an agent for
Washington furniture dealer.
A person to whom Maddox had sold
furniture on the installment plan de-
feulted. Maddox thereupon seized the
furniture under the terms OF the con-
tract entered into with the purchaser.
The latter. however, swore out war
rant for the arrest of Maddox. charging
bim with the larceny Of the furniture.
The matter came up for hearing before a
justice CT the peace in Alexandria
county, who fined Maddox $25.
Through his counsel, Crandall Mackey,
Maddox took al appeal to the county
court. There the judgment Of the lower
court was reversed by Judge Love. and
Maddox acquitted of the charge of lar
ceny.

BUILDINGS FOR LABORERS

Commissioners Reply to lexington
Citizens Association.

a well attended meeting of the North
Capitol and lexington Citizens Associ4-
tion was held last evening at st. Mar
tins Hall. near r and North Capitol
Streets. The chairman of the commit
tee on water and sewers reported that
a letter had been received from the
Commissioners advising the citizens that
the temporary houses built in the neigh
borhood by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road for the accommodation of it's en-
ployes were not erected in violation of
any law or ordinance.
These structures have been the sub
ject OF much complaint. and a persis-
tent effort have been made to obtain their
removal The Commissioners rule, how
ever, that a permit was granted the
company for the buildings, and they
are SO far removed from any pe-ma-
nent dwellings that the fire laws 10
not apply. Health officer Woodward
has reported that the maintenance Is
not a menace to the public health.

RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES
CANNOT BUILD STANDS
Occupy Public Parking Through Suffer-
ance OF Police Department.

The right o; religious societies to oc-
cuPy the public parking in the vicinity
OF Louisiana Avenue and Market Space
was the subject of an exhaustive report
made TO the Commissioners yesterday by
Major Sylvester. The Chief of Police
holds that the space is occupied only
through suferance On the part Of the
police.
Some time ago J. H. Swerdfger. OF 222
A Street southeast. applied for a permit
TO use the space in question for meet
irEs Of the Washington local of the
Socialist Party of America. He was told
the meetings could be held. but the po-
lice reserved the right to disperse a
crowd at any time. 1t appears that the
society, not content 10 hoI6 it's meetings
there, built small stand 10 accomrno-
date the speakers. This the courts have
held is in violation Of the law, and con-
sscuently the meetings of the society
were stopped.

TRACTION CO.'S CHARTER
NOT TO Be FORFEITED
Commissioners Refer Papers
to Congress Committee.
WOULD BENEFIT HEIGHTS
Another Extension of Time Will Now
Be Asked by President
Randle.

The Commissioners have revoked
their action Of July p last. relative TO
the forfeiture of the charter of the East
Washington Heights Traction Company.
and the papers in the case will be held
until Congress convenes.
According to the company's charter It's
road should have been completed on
June Is last The permit to begin work,
however, was applied for and granted
only one day before the date upon which
1t should have been completed. namely,
June IL The matter was brought to the
the attehtion of the Commissioners. who
decided, inasmuch as the terms Of the
charter had not been compiled with, &
should be'forfeited.
Counsel Duvall's Opinion.
Corporation Counsel a. b. Duvall was
asked TO consider the case and determine
the Commissioners rights in the prem
ises. His opinion was that as the char
ter had been granted by Congress. the
District Commissioners were without
power to cause its forfeiture. Upon hfs
recommendation the whole matter was
referred to the United States Dis
trict Attorney, with instructions for
him to take such steps as the law de-
manded. but that II a continuation of
the charter could be allowed. II would
meet with the approval OF the Commits
sioners for the reason that the road
would lie, when completed. a public
benefit.
Now the Commissioners have reconsid-
cred their action and decided not to refer
the matter TO the United States District
Attorney, but will submit the papers to
the Congress committee that obtained
the charter for the company, believing
that permission will then be granted 10
complete the road within two years from
June 1S last. This practically assures
the final construction of the railroad.
History of Road.
The company, OF which A. z. Randle
is president. was chartered June IS. 1898,
with the specification that the road be
in operation by June IS. 1900. No work
was done. however. and Congress, upon
application, granted an extension OF two
years, bringing the date for completing
the road to June IS. 1902. Nothing was
done in those two years. and an appeal
made for another extension. this time
only one year being asked for. This
was granted, and the fnal date made
June is last. Now Congress will be ask
ed for another extension, and in view OF
,he history Of the case President Randle
is confident OF success.
story was current yesterday in the
/ District Building to the effect that tho
| Commissioners had been advised unof1-
eially. that II the matter was referred
to the United States District Attorney
the charter would have 20 be forfeited
the law governing the case being explicit
and positive. Upon hearing this they re-
considered their action. believing thai
Il the charter can be preserved. the rest
