Washington Birthday Parade

HIGH HATS WERE CRUSHED. !

shevlin, the Football Player. Was q
 Central Figure and He Planted Some
 of the Sophs in Snow Bank The
 Affair Began With Snowbailss But
 Narrowed Down to Hand to Hand
 Scrimmage.
 New Haven, Feb 21.-The customary Washington birthday parade of tho sophomore class of Yale university was broken up today and ended in gem eral snowball scrimmage, in which freshmen and sophomores were the principal contestants, though many Of the upper classmen were unable to re- sist the temptation to take hand. The sophomores appeared on the campus in a body wearing tall hats of ancient make and carrying heavy canes. As as precaution against the loss Of their headgear by a freshman attack. they had cords running from the hats and fastened about their waists A snow ball thrown into the midst of the pa- raders started the trouble, and in. few minutes there was general fusiI- Jade of snow missiles from members of the freshman class, which werc as vigorously replied to bys the paraders. A rush of the two classes followed, in which Sheylin, the freshman football player, was central figure. He Is sal dto have lifted a sophomore bodily and de- posted him in snow bank, after which the football hero became tha rallying point for all his classmen Tn a hand to hand scrimmage. When the rush was over there were black ened eyes and other facial disigNre- ments, and the high head pieces of the sorA Aomores suffered serious damage.
 This mornings clash between the classes was unexpected and originated spontaneously, the program as decreed by custom of former years being to| have the Washington's birthday rush an afternoon event. Tn view of this early trouble 1t was thought this morn ing that the afternoon rush would be a very spirited affair.

 ments at Chicago.

Chicago, Feb 21.-Clauses prohibit ing the sympathetic strike will be a feature of this years agreements be- tween the various contractors coun- cils and the building trades unions, and. as result apparently the sympa- 'thettc strike in the building lines in Chicago is dead. This was assured when the architectural iron workers union and bricklayers and masons' union yesterday signed agreements with the employers association, in which 1t was agreed that neither party will tolerate or recognize any rights of any other associa ton, union, council or body of men, not directly interest- ed in the controversy and that they will use all lawful means to compel their members to comply with the arr bitration agreement and working rules as Jointly agreed upon and adopted.
 The agreement will go into effect April 1 for three years. All other trades in the building lines are expect ed to make similar agreements barring the sympathetic strike.

 Request to Work Overtime Without
 Extra Pay Brought Affairs to a
 Head Yesterday.
 Waterbury has another strike in its midst. About twenty machinists em- ployed at Blake & Johnson's machine shop on North Elm street, dissatisfied with the manner i'll which affairs have been conducted there during the past few months, quit work shortly after ! o'clock yesterday afternoon and are still out on strike. The trouble, which has been brewing for some time, was caused so the help claimed, by one MT Staddmiller, the superintendent MT Staddmiller, who has worked III New Haven, Bridgeport, Meriden and other places, succeeded John B. Riggs as su- perintendent about six months ago. lie at once started to hire in cheap help' unskilled mechanics, and break them into the work At the same time ne commenced to weed out gradually the high priced, skilled mechanics who were earning $3 and $3.5O day. Al though the help did not like this, they continued to work; they desired peace. But matters went from bad to worse. The machinists at Blake & Johnson S, as we'll as those in other machine shops, enjoy a nine hour day. The superin- tendent wished them to work an etxra hour or until 6 o'clock. Of course the men would have preferred to work un- til or o'clock rather. than until the old closing hour, 6 o'clock For extra work machinists are supposed to be paid at the rate of an hour and quar- ter for an hours work. But the new superintendent wouldn't pay them such. He would pay them for an hour only. This happened few weeks ago and caused more trouble The men complained, but their complaints were not needed. Last Wednesday they de- cided to make a written protest to the head officials of the company, at the same time asking that they be paid for time and quarter for extra work. The petition, which was signed by all the employees of the factory on North Elm street, was presented to the company's officials and the first intimation that the men had that the petition was re- ceived was the discharge on Thursday of the men who were the leaders in circulating the petition. This was the l last straw. The men couldn't stand | the arbirtray methods any longer and after much deliberation they decided yesterday afternoon to strike. Only four or five men remained at work, 1t is said.
 l A Democrat reporter had talk with the treasurer of the Blake 6 Johnson Go this afternoon. Tn reply to a ques- ton he stated that the company had ] no differences with its help, that some of the men had left the company's em- l ploy, which they had perfect right to l do. He did not know why they quit.

NOT ON YOUR LIB.

Certain newly made Home Rulers
are of the opinion that the Demo-
cratic party, before making its nom-
nations, should have made advances
to them before doing so. We utterly
fail to see it in the same way as these
patriots. The Democratic party is
a National institution; II is only a
minority as far as our Territorial
politics are concerned, but yet it
surely holds the balancs of power,
and that without asserting itself,
The Home Rule party is only of
local reputstion, the party of the
Hawaiian people, and therefore, of
the m-iority, we admit, and that
withou. any known standing at Ma
tional headquarters, and being so. it
10 unknown, a monstrosity and o
mougrel aggregation.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1903-10-05

A little conciliatory spirit may do
it, but Democrats have been too con-
ciliating iu the past. It is not for
them to be so, as they are housed,
although in the minority here, but
that the proposition should come
from the majority who are without
shelter. Being in the minority is
no disgrace, because they are we'll
able to look after themselves and
are perfectly content to remain as
they haye been.
