UNIONS MAY UNITE
Organization to Include All the
Building Trades Proposed.

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 10.-Two i'm
portant international labor unions will
open their annual conventions here
tomorrow. One Is the Bricklayers' and
Masons International union and the
other is the International Hod Carriers
and Building Laborers' union.
The most important matter that will
come before both conventions will be
the proposition to affiliate with the
Structural Trades alliance, and organ
ization which Is now in formative
state but which is intended to bring
about a federation of the basic trades
engaged in buildings. This alliance will
include ten trades In all. among which
will be the masons and hod carriers,
carpenters, painters, plumbers, struc-
tural iron workers, steamf1tters, tin
smiths and others.
President George B. Gibbins, of the
Bricklayers' and Masons' international
union, said that such an alliance would
be great benefit to both employers
and employees. Its purpose, he said,
was to provide a means of doing away
with the strikes that result from petty
grievances and that are often the re-
suit of conflicts between men of differ
ent unions engaged in work on the
same building.
The matter Of affiliation is now being
voted upon by the subordinate organ
ization Of the Bricklayers' and MaSons'
union and the result will be known be-
fore the convention adjourns. 1t is
generally believed that the proposition
of affiliation will receive an affirmative
vote. The sentiment among the dele
gates present to the hod carriers con-
vention is that the convention will
adopt the alliance proposition by an
overwhelming vote.

Dear Sir: I wired you this morning,
in reply to your letter of the 18th, as
follows:
'Your letter sixteenth. We have
announced by circular to all agents,
rates to the Sumter Fall Festival !;
have arranged advertisements to ap-

Officers Sumter Fall Festival asked
US to furnish Transportation for their

we understanding THAT they were
putting out posters and hyers.''
From letters we received asking
that transportation be sent in favor of
four advertising agents, we undestood
that the Sumter people we're arrang-
ing to put out their own advertising
matter, and simply desired US to an
nounce through the agents the rates,
selling dates, limit, etc., but, as
stated in my telegram We arranged
to send out posters a few days in ad-
vance of the opening day Of the Fes-
tival, and advertised in the Charleston

this the best way to handle the mat
ter. I am sure Mr. Reardon cannot

mated against Sumter in favor of Char

and to Monaghan Hose Co, No 2 in par
ticular. He voiced the sentiments CT
the community. when he said that
the people of Sumter deeply and sin
cerely appreciate the service rendered
by the fremen aud deem it q priv
lege as well as duty TO give what
ever financial assistance the depart
ment may need for its maintenance

the committee and the people of Sum
ter for their generosity and Maj.
Noise for his kind and encouraging
words.
Mr. Boyle of the committee, who
was called on made brief talk along
practical lines. He told how freely and
literally the people responded TO his
request for assistance 10 Monaghan
Hose Company, saying that their re-
sponse was but one more proof that
Sumter is tie hest place in the world
and the people the most public spirit
ed and generous.
Both Mr.. Edmunds and Mr. Boyle
referred to the fact that Delgar Reel
SQUAD, the rival of Monaghan No. 2,
had been among the first to contribute
to the purse, having given s25 out of
their limited means to help a rival In
the time of need This spirit they
remarked was most graf flying for they
knew that the members of Monaghan
No. would have displayed the same
generous spirit toward the Delgar's
under similar circumstances.

Pert Arthur the Key of Asia.
-c1]ier.s for November I9 saws

Ccllier's for November l9 says:
The story of Port Arthur, distress
ing as it is, has at least tie merit OF
showing what a cargo of heroic vir-
tues the old world still carries.
Slaughter has never been more shock
ing, but bravery has never been more
abundant. Never in all history have
been shown greater defiance of death
than has been shown in the terrible
months of struggle for the citadel
which has been for years the key of
the Eastern situation. We cannot
wonder at the price Japan would pay
for the fortress, since as long as Rus
sia owns that fort the purpose for
which this war is fought viii! not
have been accomplished by Japan. II
the war should be settled without de-
priving Russia permanently of the
fortress, dagger would still be point
ed at Japan's heart. The control of
Korea by japan would be all insecure
defence as long as the strongest posi-
tion in Msnchuria was held by her
eaemy. Russia needed to hold the
fortress for the same reasons that ia
pan needed to take it. Additional
motives for both sides were furnished
by consideration Of prestige and by
the bearing of the Port Arthur situa-
tion Oh the immense struggle further
north. The talk about whether all this
desperate courage and destruction
about Port7 Arthur has been we'll in.
vested. therefore, seems to Us beside
the mark. If the war was to be at all,
Port Arthur was necessity to each of
the combatants, and time was an es-
sential consideration to both, especial
ly TO Japan. 1t being something vital,
therefore, to their countries welfare,
Russians and japanese alike have
fought for the stronghold in manner
to prove that man still retains the
itues Of the bulldog. Efeminacy,
for the great modern nations, is an i'm,
aginary bogy. Let danger, as vital
as has confronted japan, threaten
Germany, France. England, or the
United States. and we imagine that
they also would still be found capa
BILE of fighting desperately IN the last
ditch.
