TROOP AS LAST DAY IN CAMP.
Lively Battle Between the Cavalrymen

PEEKsKuL DEPOT, n. Y, June s.-The
last day Of the Ninth Regiment and Squad
ron A in camp was one Of hard work, and
began with a night. or rather early morning
attack by the cavalry to which the regiment
responded. The three troops stole out of
camp quietly about 1 o'clock and shortly
tben north. The firing Of rifles aroused the
sleeping regiment and they we're Hsoon
assembled in response TO the long roll and
the bugle calls. They were promptly ready
FOR the sudden attack and the fight was
kept up an hour, the cavalry steadily driv-
ing the infantry back to a position on the
road and their own parade ground.
The suuadron expect to get under way
before 7 O'CLOCK and march back to the city.
reaching New York on Sunday night. The
Ninth Regiment will not have to hurry so.
az they lea We camp at II O'Clock. The
week has been one OF hard work, and both
the squadron and the regiment have i'm
proved much in drill, individually and as a
command. Many are glad to go back to
the city, others would like to stay longer.
Tomorrow the Seventy-first Regiment Of
New York, Squadron G Of Brookl yn, and

n t@tter-<o Appeal h iikc,t.
Tho Federal Grand Jury, which has bcsn
conducting on Investigation Into tho To-
baoco trust, came before Judge Jaconbe
In the United states Circuit Court yeeter~
day and asked that the secretaries n tho
American Tobacco Company and OF two
~ ia subsidiary companies b adjhdged
guilty Of contempt OF court.
The Grand Jury handed up pr~esentments
showing that the three secretaries. In answer
10 subpnnaa duces tecun, had refused TO
produce any letters, minute books or docu-
ments which the Grand Jury thought might
show arrangements between the American
Tobacco Company. the MacAndrews 4
Forbes Company and the J. 8. Young Com
pany In violation Of the Sherman anti
trust law.
Judge Lacombe gave the three seore-
taries until Monday to obey the s~ubpDnas.
IL Ia understood that they will persist In
their refusal. Judge Laoombe, according
20 the regular procedure, will then adjudge
them guilty of contempt Of court and impose
a penalty.
The three presentments were against
William II. MoAlister, secretary Of the
American Tobacco Company; William e.
Ransom, secretary Of the MacAndrews d
Forbes Company, and j. s. Young OF the
j. S. Young Company, a hcorice concern
chartered once under the laws OF New
Jersey, again under the same name under
the laws Of Maine and with headquarters
In Baltimore.
According to the presentments, the in
| y~estigation Of the Grand Jury, which is
being conducted by Assistant United States
| A~ttorneys-G Genera W. II. Taft and Felix
| II. Levy, has become far enough advanced
to have discovered evidence showing or
tending to show that certain agreements
have been made and are now In existence,
between the three companies mentioned
above, Weaver & Sterry, Limited; j. ID.
Lewis & Co. Of Providence and other COM
panies whereby they should fix the prices
| at which licorice paste, used in large quanti-
ties in the manufacture Of plug tobacco,
the commodity throughout the United
States"
MANY Of the letters demanded covered
the action taken by the companies referred
to between April 1, 1904, and August Is,
1904. This is the period, 1t Is understood,
during which the combination now known
as the tobacco trust was formed.
These arc particularly insisted upon In
the subpoena which Ransom refused to
obey. Il was Hale, the former. secretary
Of the MacAndrews company, who refused
to obey a subpoena last summer in this in
v~estigation, the Supreme Court finally
making the decision in his case that the
Grand Jury might compel a corporation
TO produce any. books 1t demanded.
As the questions involved In the refusal
| OF the secretaries are believed to have been
settled by the Hale VS.. Henkel decision,
| It Ia believed that the three men on Monday
will not be permitted to appeal to the Su-
preme Court and will have no recourse
except to obey the %subpenas or accept
what penalties Judge Laoombe chooses to
impOsA.

MUST PAY WAGES WEEKLY.
Mine Employees OF the ID. & II. Railroad
Come Under the Weekly Payment Law.

Mine Employees OF unc ID. a H Hahfobi
Come nde the Weekly Payment Law.
ALBANY, June s.-Under the State law
mine employees must be paid by the oper-
ators OF mines at least weekly, but there is a
provision In the general weekly payment
statute which exempts from its operations
the employees Of railroads. The Delaware
and Hudson Company operates certain
mines in this State, and complaint was made
by the miners to the State Labor Depart
ment that they we're being paid by the com
pany only monthly, as were the ~company's
railroad employees. The custom of the road
has been to make such payments on the
nth OF the month after the expiration OF
the term for which wage were due.
The State Labor Commissioner asked
the Acknowledgement for an Interpretation
OF the law applying TO the miners in the
Delaware and Hudson Company's employ
and to-day he received an opinion under
which the employees will be paid weekly
hereafter. The Attorney-General holds
that all employees Of the Delaware and
Hudson Company, except the railroad en-
ployees, should come under the weekly
payment Aw.

OPEN SHOP FOR CARPENTERS.
Lockout to Re Ended That Way II the
BrookIyp strikers Don't Give In.

Lockout to BE Ended That Way III inc
brooklyn striker Don't Give In.
The open shop In the carpenters trade
Is now looked for as the sequel to the present
lockout of the Brotherhood Of Carpenters
unless the striking members CT the brother
hood in Brooklyn return to work IN the
meantime.
1t became known yesterday hat the
Greater New York district council Of the
carpenters was directed by the employers
to expel the Brooklyn carpenters as the
best way of ending the trouble. If this
order had been complied with the lockout
would have been declared of and the open.
shop declared among the carpenters In
Brooklyn.
The board Of governors Of the Building
Trades Employers Association held a meet
ing yesterday at the Building Trades Ciuo'
1928 Broadway, and decided to meet on
tons for ending the deadlock. This, it Is
understood, will be brought about by. a
declaration of the open shop In the entire
Ave boroughs OF Greater New York,
The employers, It Is held, cannot ohange
their attitude, as the Brooklyn carpenters
have acted all along in defiance OF all rules
and ~precedents Of the eIbiI-ation plan,
and II the EMPLOYERS yielded they would
be making the arbitration agreement Prao-
tically a dead letter. The following state
ment was made after the meeting by O
member of the board Of governors:
The board was a unit In deciding that action
must be speedily taken to change the situa-
ton. The lockout was not Intended to last
ind and l believe that on Monday
the board will take such action as will bring
matters to g speedy crisis. There are many
contractors who are anxious to resume Work,
but will support the board in whatever action
It may take. The carpenters will them
selves be responlble for anything that may
happen. 1t is up to the union.
Asked If the next step would be the
declaration of the open shop, he said:
All l am In n position to say now is that
such action will DO taken on Monday as will
bring the fight to a crisis. Work will have
TO be resumed, and how 1t will be resumed viii
depend on the carpenters In the meantime.
It is known that the only course. unless
the carpenters at the last moment BACK
down, is to start work again on the pen
shop basis, as has been done IN the case Oh
the painters.
Oficers of the other unions said yesterday
that the situation had become very serious.
The unions had made no fight when the
open shop was declared in two OF the trades,
but il will be a severe test if they are to be
asked to work along witt non-union car
penters, as the carpenters have twice been
locked out before and narrowly escaped a
declaration of the open shop the last time.
The open shop declaration, if 1t is forced
upon the employers, will affect the shops,
as well as buildings where mombers OF the
brotherhood are working. 1t is thought
that the open shop declaration will be
issued as an ultimatum, the alternative
being immediate resumption of work in
Brooklyn before II goes into effect.
