GROCERS OF SEATTLE SEEK A
WAY OF FINANCING THE
STATE ASSOCIATION.
Argued That Tax Of From Two to Five
Cents a Baddel Will Not
Injure Consumers.

Ways of financing the organization
occupied the attention of the Wash
ington State Grocers' association yes
terday at Tacoma, as a deficiency in
the treasury is in prospect.
1t is proposed to arrange with the
milling combination of the state to in
crease the price of flour from to
cents barrel, the amount to be re-
bated to the state association of gro
GERS by the millers. This scheme was
proposed by c. ]. Wanamaker of Port
Townsend and aroused discussion re-
sulting in the reference of the entire
matter to the committee on waps and
means.
1t was argued that by taxing the
grocers would be made to support the
association without placing the asso-
citation under obligations to millers or
jobbers. The revenue thus secured
would be ample for all purposes. Four
ffths Of the flour sold in the state be-
ing produced within the state bound
aries it was argued the arrangement
would be equitable.
Will Affect All Grocers.
Grocers who do not belong to the
association would thus be compelled
to join in it's financial support on an
equal basis with members. It was
argued that the burden would be
borne, not by the consumers, but by
the grocers themselves, the retail price
being uniform. 1t was asserted that
on a barrel could not be added to the
price charged consumers.
The convention adopted resolutions
endorsing pure food bills and asking
the state congressional delegation to
support the pending measures.
Praise for Roosevelt.
A resolution was unanimously
adopted in praise of the services of
Theodore Roosevelt in the peace nego-
tiations between Russia and Japan.
The resolution sets forth the time
nonored sentiment that peace hath
her victories no less renowned than
war;" and congratulates the country
upon the renewed commercial activity
sure to follow cessation of 11ostilities
The conviction is also expressed that
the name of President Roosevelt will
shine brighter in the pages of history
than that of any commander in the late
conflict.

EXHIBITIONS OF sPARRINa.
Not Regarded as Prize Fighting Un-
less Admission Fee is Charged

The question was raised recently by Gen.
Henry T. Allen, chief of the Philippine con-
stabulary, as to whether boxing with gloves
for exercise or recreation came under the
ban of the insular law prohibiting prize
fighting. sparring or boxing exhibitions
The law in question provides for the pun
ishment of any person who engages in. in
stigates. aids, encourages or does any act
to further contention or fight with or
without weapons, between two or more
persons, or a fight commonly called ring
or prize fight; any person who engages in
a public or private sparring or boxing
exhibition with or without gloves. at which
an admission fee is charged or received,
either directly or indirectly; any person
who sends or publishes a challenge or ac-
cepts a challenge for such a contention,
exhibition or fight. or carries or delivers
such a challenge or acceptance; and airy
person who trains or assists any person In
training or preparing for such contention,
exhibition or fight.
The attorney general of the Philippines
to whom the question was referred ex-
pressed the opinion that under the provis-
ions of the law a prize fight is prohibited
under any and all circumstances; that
sparring or boxing exhibition is not an
offense against the law unless an admis-
sion fee Is charged or received, either d.
rectly or indirectly; and that the use of
gloves in sparring and boxing for exercise
and recreation is not q violation Of any
Of the provisions Of the law.

The Holiday Celebrated by
Local Organizations.
PROGRAMS OBSERVED
CENTRAL UNION AT BENNING
RACE COURSE.
Carpenters Unite in Demonstration at
River View-Knights Of Labor
at Marshall Hall.
PROGRAMS OBSERVED

Jupiter Pluvius frowned ominously down
upon Washington this morning and sent a
heavy shower of rain. which had most
disheartening effect upon the wage earners
who had planned for full enjoyment OF
Labor day. Early In the forenoon. however
the heavy clouds began to break away and
glints of sunshine appeared in the riffs. BY
8 o. clock it became apparent that the day
would be an ideal one for the several out
ings that had been arranged by the hosts
of organized labor. The big race course
at Bennire was a magnet that attracted
thousands of people to witness the base ball
games. the auto races. motor cycle and
bicycle races and other sports under the
auspices of the Central Labor Union. with
It's sixty-nine affiliated trades unions. rep
resenting nearly every line of industry in
the District.
Throngs of people also wendell their way
to the steamboat wharves to patronize the
down-the-river events of the union car
penters at River View and the Knights OF
Labor at Marshall Hall. Members of the
several labor unions were abroad on the

still others went up the Potomac to angle

II may be interesting TO note that Labor
day is legal holiday in all the states and
territories but Arizona, Mississippi. Nevada.
North Dakota and Louisiana. The celebra-
ton OF the day was inaugurated by the
knights of Labor. who In 1882 held a pa
rade in New York. and again in 1884 when
resolutions were passed to hold all parades
on that day. Worklngmen of all organi-
cations then began agitation to have the
day made legal holiday. and In 1887 the
first law to that effect was passed in Colo
RADIO.
In Europe the celebration OF the 1st of
May as Labor day was begun In 1890 with
a demonstration in favor of the eight-hour
day 1t was at that time and for few
years later much feared and violently OPP
posed by the various governments. and there
were many clashes between the police
and soldiers and the workingmen. 1t is now
usually celebrated without trouble by pa

sation of work.

Four trips to River View have been made

friends went down to enjoy the good time
incident to a labor excursion. Members OF

Every one entered into the spirit OF the
occasion and is making the best Of the
workingmans annual holiday. Early this
morning the members of the committee Of
arrangements were much disappointed over
the unfavorable turn OF the weather, but
the appearance of the sun about o'clock
made all hearts glad again and insured the
success of the enterprise.
A Quiet Forenoon.
The forenoon was principally a time OF
rest Not until after o'clock did the spe-
clal amusements provided by the committee
begin. The program is not one calculated
to attract wide attention. but includes
events in which every one present can take
part Suitable prizes will be awarded to the
winners In the various amateur athletic con-
tests.
The first number on the program Is a base
ball game between two scrub" teams. 1t
Is expected that this will furnish first-rate
amusement for the crowd OF spectators as
well as for the contestants. The best play

trict OF Columbia have been selected, how

will be Interesting also from a sporting

LENIENCY TO JACKSON.
May Be Reduced a Glass Instead Of
Dismissed From the Navy.

A strong effort is being made to have the
President exercise clemency in the case of
Midshipman Robert A. Jackson of Virginia,
who was sentenced to dismissal from the
navy by general courtmartial on account
of recent escapade at New York and Bos-
ton. The young man pleaded guilty to the
charge of absence without leave and the
sentence of the court followed as a matter
of form. In view OF the youth and inexpe-
Nence of Midshipman Jackson the naval
authorities are inclined to be lenient with
him. and 1t is understood that the Presi-
dent. to whom the case was referred for
final action, has mitigated the sentence of
dismissal so as to require that Midshipman
jackson shall serve three years at sea be-
fore his final examination. instead of two
years. and shall take rank in the next class
below that In which he graduated. ,

union leaders prevented an even larger
number of workers from marching through
the deep puddles which collected on the
asphalt of upper 9Th avenue. The members
of the Mattresses Union, who had prepared
to march attired in white dresses and shoes
and carrying parasols. were so determined
to march in the parade that it required a

In the mems unions not only did the work
ers march. but many of them were followed
by small sons uniformed like their fathers.

Big Affair in New York.
Word came from New York city early in
the day that the parade of workingmen
there was a big affair, there being at least
60 900 men in line This had IN inspiring
effect on the toilers of Washington. One OF
the labor leaders of this city. when he
learned of the great demonstration at the
metropolis, said to a Star reporter:
Labor day parades were feature OF the
celebration here years ago when the DAY
was first inaugurated. but wiser counsels
prevailed, and we came to the conclusion
that the money we had been spending on
tnseI brass bands, fireworks and other hur-
rah features could be more wisely expended
for methods of real enjoyment. Hence the
abandonment oof parades and the adoption
of athletic tourments and other outings"
The evidences were numerous on all sides
in this city today that the Worxlngmen had
taken a day off. The buildings all over the
District in course of construction stood bare
and skeletonc and without any evidences
of the work-a-day hustle. The sounds OF
hammer and saw were hushed for the
nonce, and from the tall mill stacks there
came never a suggestion of smoke. The
streets wore a Sunday aspect. most of the
business houses being closed. The govern
ment departments. too, were closed, and
contributed their share to the patrons Of
the workingmen's outings.
In the Suburbs.
When 1t became evident, soon after y
o'clock. that the day would be favorable.
those who preferred spending the holiday
quietly boarded cars and betook themselves
to the surrounding country. where they en-
joyed private picnics or gathered wild flow
ers and ferns. which abound in some locaii-
ties about Washington. There were those
