PREPARING CAMPAIGN
Association Orders Members

tending Beyond May 1

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE Employ
ers' Association of Chicago has set
May l, 1905, as the date for a general
contest with the Teamsters' Union. A
resolution carrying this decision, re-
Gently passed by the executive board,
has just been made public. The or
ganization in the meantime will pre-
pare for the struggle:
The resolution follows;
Resolved. That this association in
structs it's members to refuse to sign
any exclusive union or closed shop
contracts with any local of the Team
sters' Union and that no contract of
any sort be signed with them which
shall extend beyond or expire after
May 1, 1906"
Ever since the association was
formed this one labor organization has
been its chief stumbling block. Owing
to their strategic position the drivers
have been able to force CLOSED shop
agreements in almost every case. They
also have secured repeated wage in
creases.
A principle of the association is the
"open shop" With the exception of
two or three. however, all agreements
signed in the year with the union pro-
vide for the exclusive employment of
its members.

OHIO SUFFERS
GREAT DAMAGE
More Than $4,000 Will
Be Required to Repair the
Injury to the Big Vessel
HULK NOT BADLY HURT
By Flooding the Ship With
Water Flames Were Con-
fined to One Compartment

SEATTLE. June 1.-THE damage to
the steamship Ohio, which caught fire
at Moran's shipyards shortly after mid
night, is estimated at between S2O. 900
and $4,000.
The flames were confined by flooding
the ship with water to a single COM
partment in the after part Of the ship.
The steerage berths and woodwork
we're eaten away, but so far as exam
ination this morning shows none OF the
steel frames or plates Of the vessel were
warped. The fire originated in this part
of the steerage, but investigation has
yet failed to reveal the cause.
The Ohio was built in Philadelphia in
1873 Her gross tonnage is 34SS. She
is 343 feet long, 43 feet beam and 24.9
feet deep. For many years the Ohio
ran out of New York. and at one time
was one Of the greyhounds of the At
lantic. In 1898 the Empire Transports
tion Company, former owners Of the
ship, sent her around the Horn with
the Indiana, Conemaugh and Pennsyl-
vania, and entered them in the trans
port service out Of San Francisco.
In 1909 the Ohio was placed on the
Nome run and continued in that service
until this spring, when she was pur-
chased by the Moran Brothers Com
pany. who contemplated spending $780,
900 in refitting and repairing the vessel.

ALL CHINATOWN
HOLDS FEASTS
Festival of Dragon Boat
Celebrated in Houses and
in All The Restaurants
CUSTOM CENTURIES OLD
Much of It's Significance
Lost by Being Brought to
Chinese Born in America

Yesterday all Chinatown celebrated
the Dragon Boat festival. Feasts were
served in the public restaurants and
private homes and last night the larg-
est restaurant in the quarter was the
scene of great festivity. At the res
taurant the Chinese Military Corps was
entertained by the Sheung Mo Hok
Tong Military Association. Speeches
by Wong Kim, DR.. Gardiner. Major
Falkenberg and others were followed
by the presentation of the Chinese
dragon flag and the Stars and Stripes
by DR.. Gardiner to the Sheung Mo
Hok Tong Military Association. Toasts
to the Emperor Kwang-Su, President
Roosevelt, Wong Kim, the organizer;
Chan Kei. the president; and to the
cueless Chinese of San Francisco.
The holiday is one of the most noted
in the Chinese calendar. The legend
of the dragon boat runs as follows:
Many years ago Wat Yuen, a loyal
hearted noble of the Celestial kingdom.
who had served his country and SOW
ereign faithfully, was forgotten when
the royal favors were dispensed. Later
when his services were recalled to the
memory of the King, he was ordered
to the palace to receive his reward.
But he had learned not to put his
trust in princes. and rather than accept
the belated kindness he threw himself
into the river. So, full of admiration
for this unprecedented act of humility.
the anniversary of the same was set
apart as a national holiday, and the
fifth day of the fifth month is observed
by the patriotic CT .namen throughout
the world.
In order to rescue his corpse from
the fishes, long boats are manned by
many men, and the first to arrive at
the goal is supposed to be the FORUM
ate savior.
AS these boats move along. the mo-
ton of the long oars resemble the
legs of the Chinese dragon, and the
rowers rise and stand in their seats,
thus completing the resemblance to
the dragons body. A drummer accom-
panies each boat to beat time.
A peculiar preparation of hulled rice,
soaked in lye and wrapped in palm
leaves, is thrown out to the hungry
fishes, so that they may be induced
to restrain their appetites and not feast
upon the remains of the drowned hero.
1t is called chung" which is a pun
on the Chinese word for faithfulness,
which is chung" also. In all the
grocery stores in Chinatown piles of
chung" have been exposed for sale
for a week past, and the small boy
has held feast on his own account,
regardless of the fishes.
Here and there may be found a few
faithful hearts who remember the
legend, and repeat as the boats rush
past:
''Wat Yuen chi mix shuie: Tuen
yeung king to. Wat Perfection has
jumped into the water Who arrives
first to rescue him.
