FUSS OVER LABOR DAY PARADE.
Seems That There Was Much in II Not
Bearing the Union Brand.

There was Q hot time for half an hour
at Yesterdays meeting Of the Central Fed
Grated Union over charges that the labor
union rules had boon violated in tho Labor
Day parade. Maurice Smith, president Of
the Musical Mutual Protective Union, made
the first charge, which was to tho eneot
that the Teamsters' Union had gone con-
CATH CasRyolio Pro.ecsory band instead q . band
from the Musical Union. Smith told the G.
F. U. that the employment Of this band wa
cruelty to children. as they had to parade
for three hours playing on heavy tnstxu-
Catholic Proteotory got $3.50 for the par
Torrance Of the forty children in the band.
Smith said that they could have had union
men at % apiece.

grand marshal Of the parade.
That Is nonsense retorted Smith.
A proposition was made to take the mat
but it was voted down. 1t was finally de-
cided to refer the matter to the c. +. U.
grievance committee.
Then Delegate Morton Of the. Amalga-
mated Wood Workers took the floor with
budget Of complaints about sss the par parade +,
canes and wore scab badges. Even tho
badge OF the tip printers union was not on
the hats Of the people who paraded in uni
form"
Some Of tho delegates remarked that this
ought to be looked into. No action was
taken.
President Smith Of the musicians changed
the subject by remarldng that he could
have ordered the musicians on strike In
the other bands because Of the employ
ment OF bands composed Of persons not in
the union, but RETAINED from doing 80
parade into ridiouie. This started Oh
James MoCabe, the grand marshal, on q

DENY ANY DESIRE TO ENFORCE
NEW BILL OF LADING.
CONTINUANCE OF HEARING
inquiry of Interstate Commerce Com
mission Into Alleged Attempt to In
crease Rates by 20 per cent. to Re-
sumo at Washington-RaiIro
Likely to Postpone Application.

| Chicago, Dec. 8.-The hearing of the
new uniform bill of Iading" has been
continued until next Thursday at
Washington, by the members OF the in
terstate commerce commission. The
continuation was announced after
three days of sensational testimony,
tits between counsels for the oppos-
ing sides and pertinent remarks by
members of the commission. When
the hearing is resumed it is said the
railroad companies will introduce re-
buttal testimony in an endeavor to
prove that there is no desire on their
part to impose the so-called 20 per
liability service of common carriers.
Another development of the hearing
yesterday was that the lumber dealers
within the official classification terri
tory intend to carry the fight, against G
high rate for freightage much farther
than the scope of the investigation
now being considered by the commits
sion. his announcement was maze
by President Holt of the American
Lumber company, representing thous-
ands of lumbermen who ship lumber
throughout the United States.
One of the most important points
brought out at yesterdays hearing
was that if the 20 per cent. increase,
the carrier assuming responsibility for
damages, was put in force by the rail-
roads, it would eventually fall back
on the consumer to pay the increase,
he being called upon to pay an equal
advance for the food or material pur-
chased. This point was brought out
by A. A. Sprague Of Sprague, Warner
and company and other witnesses.
Commissioner Clements suggested
TO the attorneys for the railroads that
they make an effort to have railroad
companies eliminate the enforcement
of the 20 per cent. proposition and
have the words mot negotiable" left
off the bills of lading until some future
time to be decided upon. He argued
that the hearing may not be concluded
on December Is and in this event the
railroads should waive the enforce
ment of these two propositions, at
least until the hearing is concluded.
The attorneys said that they would en-
deavor to bring about these conditions.

Of the revenues in 1904, compared
with 1903, customs show a decrease

result is a decrease in ordinary rev.

was an apparent net increase in ordi-

this includes the payment of $50,O0O,-

Coinage for Philippine Islands.
At the request of the secretary of

were purchased from March 26. 1903,
to June 80, 1904, 13,528,226 ounces of
silver, costing $7,376,995. This bull
lion has been paid for by the govern
ment of the Philippine islands. There
were also received during the fiscal
year at the San Francisco mint old sill
yer coins withdrawn from circulation
in the Philippine islands amounting
to $780, 37 ounces, for conversion into
the new coinage. The total coinage
for the Philippine islands during the
year was 1852, 629 pesos in silver and
663,84 pesos in nickel and bronze. The
treasury has been reimbursed for the
cost of all this Philippine coinage. In
addition to the foregoing, the mint at

"flRE DRILLS"
At City Schools as Means of Quickly
Emptying Building.

The city schools at Salt Lake City
have established fire drill by which
means $50 pupils marched cut of the
building in one minute and fifteen sec
from the easement of the school and
promptly at the call Of the fire drill
the pupils fell into line and marched
out quickly and quietly. The building
was not burned but it is estimated that
every pupil could have been marched
out without the slightest danger in
case Of fire. This practice cf fire drills
at stated intervals obtains in many
cities and is found to be the best pos
sible means of enabling the pupils to
escape
The fire drill at the local schools
has been practiced for about two years
and found to be most efficient. The
pupils are called by the alarm bell and
all recitation stops while they fall
into line and march out of the building
to some safe place outside These
drills have been practiced twice a
month since last October but are now
being held weekly at all the schools.
1t takes two minutesh to get all of the
pupils out of the school by the drill
and there is no excitement which ac-
companies the drill The drill is re
garded as being the most efficient
means of emptying the building in
time of danger.

JOE 3. WHITE FOR SURVEYOR

In another column of the Graphic
appears the announcement of Joe B.
White for the office cf county surveyor
subject to the action of the Democratic
primaries. Mr.. White is exceptionally
we'll qualified to perform the duties
of the position. He has been deputy
county surveyor since 1884, and for
ten years was city engineer for Pine
Bluff, hence he has had wide experi-
ence as surveyor. His work has al
ways been first class and he has sue
cessfully done some very difficult
pieces Of surveying and civil engin-
eering. So far no opposition to him
as offered, and it is not probable that
he will be opposed.

Mr.. Russell interviewed.

Mr.. H. 3. Russell. of the Russell Gr2.
Gerry company, for whom young Dabaey
worked, says that he talked with the
young man this morning and finds
that he took but three letters from the
postoffice. Two Of these letters con-
tanned checks, one drawn on the Ger
man Bank of Stuttgart FIR SCOTS and
one on the bank OF Monticello for
$13.75. Dabney says he destroyed the
$20.75 check and described the place
where he threw the pieces. A thor
ough search fails to reveal the pieces,
however. The other check was found
in Dabneys possession. Mr.. Russell
says he is convinced that this is the
only time Dabney has robbed his mail.
Frank Dabney was employed at the
Russell Grocery company for about
seven months, but was released last
November because Mr.. Russell says
he found him untrustworthy. Hitherto
he had born a good reputation but did
not handle the funds of the company.
Mr.. Russell says he is sure the young
mans losses at gambling caused him
to gc wrong.

directions and exact locations of fires.
Hereafter when alarms of fire are turn
