STRUCTURAL ALLIANCE

1t is announced that the Struc-

the Electrical workers in their
present strike in this city. At a
meeting Of the Structural trades
last night the action of the Electro

new building being erected by the
Washington Water Power company
on Front street, back of the Elks'
temple, came up for discussion.
The entire council, with the excep-
ton of Carpenters union No. So,
voted to sustain the strikers. The
Electrical workers are greatly en-
couraged by the action taken last
night, taking it as an indication
that they are supported generally
by the trade unionists of the city.

GOVERNMENT GRUB HOUSE MONOPOLY
ON CANAL IS A TOUGH PROPOSITION

All the buildings in the canal
zone, including the private board
ing houses, belong to the govern
ment. A threat came that these
buildings would be taken from the
boarding house keepers. The lat
ter were now almost beaten.
Complete defeat came June Is
in the form of a bulletin prohibit
ing cooking of any form in any Of
the government buildings except
the hotel and cottages occupied by
families who kept no boarders.
1t has been the custom of men
here and there, who cared only for
coffee in the morning, to make it
themselves in their rooms. They
were ordered to get their coffee at
the hotel and pay 80 cents for it,
Drinking government isthmus cot
fee is a feat before which the
stoutest stomachs quail. So many
men now go to their tasks break

And why all this?

But in their great fight for de-
mocracy the chiefs overlooked
something-their own and the mes
ses of others higher up. The 'su-
perintendants" and manager"
still have their private boards
where the cream of commissary
goods and isthmus grown vege-

Attempts at round robins to Pres.

PANAMA, lsthmus of Panama,
July 17.-"Eat at my hotels, pay
my prices or get off the isthmus."
That, in effect is the announce
ment just made in the canal zone
by Uncle Sam. Hundreds of pri-
vate boarding houses, located all
along the line from Ancon on the
south to Cristobal on the north,
have had to close their doors.
Uncle Sam couldn't stand the
competition.
Uncle Sam gave very bad meal
-meager as to quantity. wretched
as to quality, and sloppily served
by a dusky, witless creature fresh
from the jungle. And he charged
80 cents.
The boarding houses gave very
good meal. bountiful and of excel
lent quality, clearly served, for rs
cents.
Uncle Sam made his "mealers"
buy SIS worth of tickets in ad
vance. The private boarding house
keepers permitted the men to pay
by the meal or month.
The government hotels. of which
there are about 80 on the isthmus,
began to lose custom like condemn
ed theaters. The private boarding
houses, on the other hand, multi
plyed with mushFoomlike rapdity.
Did Uncle Sam seek to coax back
trade. roy lettering his meals Not
much. He used big stick instead.
Most of the boarding house keep
ers were mechanics in the employ
of the government, their wives hav-
ing charge of the meal serving
Their jobs became endangered.
This made things look more Sc
rious. A few gave up the fight

He LIVED WHILE THE DOCTOR TOOK j

LOS ANGELES, Cal, July 49,
Her is a man whose vitality should

retire to some obscure back fence
and hang it's head. This man, c..
A. Mccartney, has had his heart
cut out and held in the hand Of
a physician for the space of six
pulse beats; yet he lives and is
now eating heartily, gaining
strength and looking forward to an
early resumption of his former &C.
tivities.

An isthmian government hotel
meal is a curious affair. Tropical
fruits abound on the isthmus.
Therefore government tables must
be inviting with luscious pineap-
pies. bananas and the like you say.
Hardly. Except for an occasional
fibrous, seed replete orange that
usually grows somewhere about
the hotel property, your fruit
comes from the states-comes in
tin.
Fishing is an industry of both
Panama and Colon. All, then you
have plenty of fresh fish? Wrong
again. It's cod, bought in the
states.
But surely your coffee is good,
for the isthmus is almost in the
coffee belt. The only thing that
can justly be compared with it is
tar. 1t Is not only bought but is
ground in the states.

Hour did find it's way here a few

serves you to be reconed with.
Uncle Sam pays him SIS a month
and you are allowed to do the rest.
II you don't get the idea voluntari-

NEW YORK. July 1S.-1t was
learned today that the suit begun
against Harry Thaw in 1902 by e.

alleged whipping will probably be
revived. 1t was charged that
Thomas, with two girls, while visit
ing Thaw's apartments received
whipping at his hands so severe
their legs and backs bled. 1t is
charged also that whipping girls
was Thaw's favorite diversion.
Thaw and his mother had a seri-

this morning over engagement of
counsel. The prisoner Is angered at
the move to reengage his old coun-
sci and to make an effort to save

that Thaw promised to take his
mothers advice and Olcott will
