About a month ago Dona was arrested on

ested in the cause of practical temperance
assembled Friday night in the hall, corner
of 9th street and Pennsylvania avenue, and

Council, No. 1, Fraternal Sons of Jonadab.

cess.

j. F. LIE Barnes, past worthy chief; F. ].
Pearson, worthy vice chief: Thomas p Ma
loney, worthy chaplain; William A. Hickey,
worthy recording secretary; John P. Kiefer,
worthy treasurer; Thomas J. Clarke.
worthy financial secretary; Howard ]. Fear
son, worthy herald: John NJ. Williams,
worthy guard; J. Bernard Cornwall, worthy
sentinel; o. w. Brodt, worthy assistant
herald

marks upon practical charitable temper
ance work were made by Joseph H. Hodg
son, James H. Wright John r. Davis, Sam
uel Cissell, O. L. Bell, S. X. McNerhany
and many others. There was "A goodly rep
resentation from other temperance organf-
cations, the visitors giving their approval

ton is founded. . Meetings will be held

MAY GRANT INCREASE.
Meeting of Journeymen Painters and
Action of Horseshoers,

The union journeymen painters of Wash
ington were out in force Friday night to at
tend meeting of their local at the labor
hall, HOS E street northwest The prin-
cipal purpose of the meeting was to con-
slider the proposed increase of pay demand
ed by the Brotherhood of Painters. The
men are now receiving $500 d day, and the
demand is for $3.50.
The union has given the master painters
of Washington sixty days in which time to
decide whether they will pay the increase.
In the meantime the painters are working
at the present wages of $500. When the
time limit expires and the bosses refuse to
give the advance it was stated that the
men will go on a strike.
AT the meeting Friday night however, it
was shown that most of the employing
painters are favorable to the increase, and
will bid on prospective contracts according
ly.
member of the union said he believed
all danger of a strike will be obviated be-
fore the sixty days elapSe by the action of
the master painters in acceding to the de-
mand
The journeymen horseshoers are still call
ing upon horse owners, it is said, and urg-
ing them to refuse to have their animals
shod by others than skilled union workmen.
1t was announced last night that several
prominent horse owners have promised the
journeymen committee to patroniZe only
those shops in which union workmen are
employed.
Mr. John III. Mitchell, corresponding Sec
retary of the Master Horseshoers' Associa-
ton, objected to the statement alleged to
have been made by the union men that
those of the bosses who are not paying the
increased wages are operating unfair
shops"
"The only unfairness," said Mr.. Mitchell.
"is on the side of the men who left good
jobs good hours and good wages to go on
this strike
