MAYOR SEEKS
FAIR PLAY FOR
THE FINEST

Mayor Dyer. who OF late has been de-
voting considerable consideration to ar
fairs relating 10 the police force, feels
that among matters worthy OF generous
consideration by the police commissioners
Is the inequality existing between the
pensions paid to the hremen and to po-
lice officers. in which the latter get the
little end OF the game.
The mayor can see no just reason why
the public servants in each OF these de-
partments should not stand on a lossl
footing after they have grown old and in
firm in the service.
Both firemen and policemen draw the
same pay while on duty but the latter.
when superannuated, receives s107.25 less
per year in the shape OF pension money
than the more favored fire-hghter
Mayor Dyer does not regard the sum Of
5000 annually paid to pensioned fremen as
too great; and he desires only that the
income OF the policemen. under similar
conditions, shall be made the same Ac-
cordingly he has addressed the folio ng
letter to the police commission:
Providence, March 26, 1906.
ITO the Honorable. the Board OF Police
Commissioners:
Dear Sirs: My attention has been call
ed TO the apparent inequality I'm the
amount OF the police pension for patrol
men. and the amount OF the pension for
firemen.
THE patrolman receives 45eo OF his an
nual compensation before retirement
namely 1897 and the fireman the sum
OF 5000. the difference being s107.25 an
nually In favor OF the fremen.
IL tail TO see any reason for this diff
ference, as the pay OF both the fireman
and the policeman is the same, So per
day
1T seems 10 me that the pension re-
ceived by the firemen is not too great,
and that the pension for the police force
should be increased so that there should
be pension equality in both these depart
ments.
II respectfully ask your board 70 con-
slider this matter and increase If possible
the annual pension OF the police. so that
there may be substantial equality with
the fire department I'm this respect
Respectfully yours,
ELISHA DYER.

FATHER GAPON
WRITES LETTER IN
/. HIS OWN DEFENCE

st Petersburg March 26.-Father
Gapon. In a frank. open letter today re-
plies to the attacks on his public and pri-
vate life, announcing that he has in
structed his lawyer NJ Margoln. 10
bring an action for defamation OF charac-
ter against his detractors and denies the
charge OF betraying and abandoning a
girl while he was prison chaplain.
Gapon explains that, refusing to follow
the rule Of the orthodox church prohibit
ing the remarriage OF priests, which he
declares drives the clergy 10 secret i'm
morality, he took TO his bosom as his
wife girl whom he loved and that she
Is still living with him.
Gapon declares that OF the $15 900 which
Premier Witte gave through former Com
merce Minister Timiriazeff for the restora-
tion Of the Gapon labor organization he
only received $500, all of which was used
TO help the workingmen The remainder
was stolen by Mathushensky. the press
agent and real director OF the Father
Gapon movement, who was arrested at
Saratoff Feb "a and brought to st.
Petersburg for trial.
Regarding the charge OF gambling at
Monte Carlo with mysterious money"
Gapon says: During the bloody uprising
at Moscow / received money for literary
work and while abroad out OF simple
curiosity ! played for small stakes
review OF my connection with the work
mems movement will prove that 1 never
was an agent OF the government and
labored solely in the interests OF the
workmen."
When he returned to st. Petersburg.
Gapon admits that he communicated with
Count Witte, who gave him permission 10
live here considering that his work was
Constructive and not destructive"
Gapon concludes with an expression OF
his firm conviction that history will dem
onstrate that 1.-The unfrocked pope" lived
for his country TO the laet drop OF his
blood. died a sentinel over the rights and
liberties OF the workmen and oppressed.
The letter made good impression, but
Gapons sincerity is sneeringly attacked
by The Russ, which calls Gapon friend
OF General Fulton (former chief OF police
OF St. Petersburg), and a pensioner of

b0ASTED HIS
GUILT, POLICE
SAY NAY, NAY

Lieutenant Hartnett OF the Second sta
ton was attracted by sounds OF exhorta-
tion OF the lea -lunged variety as he
was passing the Randall Square Mission
last night at about o3o.
He paused TO listen.
Hist! The man inside, In the midst OF
his remarks 10 an attentive audience, de-
clared that he was a fugitive from JUS
tice. The lieutenant was all attention.
Surely, man never knows when he is
discriminating himself.
The man proceeded to state that he
had TO fee from Worcester after striking
n man I'm the street who sustained n frsc-
tured skull I'm his fall 10 the sidewalk
Brothers and sisters. the demon rum
was the cause OF II ALL" said he.
Just about that period OF the game he
was escorted from the place by the lieu
tenant and taken over 10 the Second sta
tion for investigation OF his story.
He said that his name was William p.
Dawson, and that what he had said about
fleeing from Worcester wos true, and that
he came here last week.
Chief OF Police Stone OF Worcester was
communicated with and this morning tele-
phoned that Dawson was not wanted
there.
According to Dawson's story he felt the
need of religious consolation yesterday
and entered a house of worship i'm the
downtown section. A benevolent old
gentleman shook his hand and slipped him
a 81 bill while doing so. With the bill he
sought and secured refreshments.
Before securing the 81 he claims that a
81 bill was given to him at another church
where he applied for assistance.
AS yet the local police have found no
charge upon which he can be held.

The only question that may arise in the
signing OF the agreements will be as to
teamster In one or two OF the yards
the teamsters are made TO carry the coal,
having no helpers and the proposed
agreement seeks TO place all the yards on
the same basis. Only In this does IL diff
fer from that of last year. SO few OF the
yards will be affected that no trouble Is
looked for.
With the painters. another strong labor
organization no trouble is expected ex-
cept with a few individual shops where
the trouble is already on. Last year this
union with its $50 members struck and
had bitter struggle, lasting through
out most or the summer finally winning
its contention: but now with the exception
OF about l3 shops, the conditions, both as
10 wages and as TO hours, are satisfac-
tory and the union looks for a busy sea-
son.
The business agent, Mr.. Cummings
states that OF the 13 shops not paying
the union scale OF wages no one employs
more than one or two men, and hence
the trouble with them is OF slight conse-
quence.
The carpenters, one OF the largest
bodies OF organized labor in the city, are
looking for no trouble owing to the set
tlement OF their differences last year.
when Bishop McVickar decided that they
were entitled 10 an increase I'm wages.
The conditions obtained then are con-
sidered sfair enough for this season. and
the men are asking for no more and ex-
pect no trouble.
The plumbers look for no general
strike; and the only question that may
cause any disputes will be that OF regis
tration of apprentices. which they hope 10
settle with each employer Individually
The feeling between the master plumb
ers and the journeymen was never bet
ter shown than when the union gave it's
last ball, 10 which almost every employ
ing plumber was a willing subscriber.
The troubles expected by this union
are ali only such may arise from In
dividual misunderstanding.
Another strong organization. the brew
ers, one OF the best organized crafts In
the city is preparing agreements which
IL Is said contain no extravagant de-
n1ands: and II Is thought that no trou-
Die will be had over signing them
The jewelers. union is preparing its
agreement. and no strike Is expected
There are some new features in this docu-
ment but only such as the men think
any falr-minded employer will willingly
sign.
The plasterers. another large body OF
craftsmen, are expecting no trouble and
are looking for a prosperous year.
The only quarters in which trouble may
be expected TO arise are with a few OF
the minor crafts and Individual cases.

TRANSFERS AGAIN
THREATEN To
BEGIN STRIKE

Chicago, March 26.--Chicago will see
second big teamsters' strike IL the plans
laid by the Truck Drivers union at
meeting held yesterday are carried out.
The drivers, backed by their information
al organization. unanimously voted To
push their demands for increased wages
and better conditions. The Chicago Team
Owners association as firmly has decided
TO resist Neither side sees any common
ground upon which TO meet or poss-
billy OF a compromise. The truck drivers
local, with 5000 members, is the strongest
in the union in Chicago.
The demands Of the teamsters have been
i'm the hands OF their employers for more
than two weeks, but IL was not until yes
terday that tho workers themselves ad-
mtted tho possibility OF a strike. The
obstinate struggle OF 40 days duration
which came to an end last July makes the
prospect OF similar strike unwelcome TO
both employers and men and until the
result OF the referendum vote was an
nounced it was believed that the difference
could be patched up.

With the possibilities OF suffering and
inconvenience from the inability OF the
miners and operators in the coal regions
10 agree, the people of this state, and
particularly OF Providence. have lost
sight of the likelihood OF strikes and
lockouts here. though the season for such
Is almost at hand.
Happily for the whole community, how
ever, the public is likely TO suffer about
as little from labor dissensions this spring
as has been the case for several years.
present Indications are to be trusted
Ihls does not mean that the labor
unions OF the city have become less ac-
tive or that all differences have been ad-
judicated, but that both employers and
employees are planning TO take advantage
or the business opportunities 10 be offered
10 their mutual good.
IL does not mean that the agreements
or the various unions are not TO be pre-
sented, or that there are no questions TO
be arbitrated and settled, but that both
branches, masters and men, approached
nearer TO an understanding and are more
willing 10 meet each other OF course,
In few cases there may be trouble but
business conditions will not be so unset
tied
AT every meeting OF the various labor
unions on each night OF the week the dis
cussion OF the wage question continues
and plans are being laid and the regula-
tion OF the hours. With the larger unions
there is a feeling. however. that for the
present conditions are about as good as
could be asked.
Among employers. too. there seems 10
be a general feeling that the men who
earn for them are something more than
mere parts OF the general machinery OF
business.
A growing disposition for fairness per-
vades their meetings, so that the signs
are all of hopeful kind.
Already a number OF the agreements for
the coming year between the employers
and their men have been drafted by the
unions and in several cases submitted
This lie true OF the coal teamsters in par
ficnlar. and the agre reement presented by
them Is considered by the dealers gener-
ally 10 be az fair as possible. no condition
being asked for that Is regarded as un-
reasonable. When The News man called
upon them for an opinion. almost with
out exception the sentiment expressed was
one OF harmony and satisfaction.
The coal dealers have not yet had any
general meeting 10 consider the signing
OF agreements; and opinion prevails that
there will be no concerted action, each
dealer meeting the businers agent or the
union and discussing the various points
with him alone.
