GEN. GRANTS REQUEST.
Desires Branches of Y. M. C. A. at
ARMY Posts.

Maj. Gen. Frederick Dent Grant COM
mander of the eastern division of the United
States army, has asked the international
committee of the Young Mems Christian
Association TO place their branches in every
post under his command Gen Grant saws
that he had grave doubts about organi-
cations within the army posts and that
with strong prejudice against the asso-
citation he required daily reports from all
posts under his direction and quietly
checked them up. In speaking of the re-
suits of this, Gen. Grant said: Il found
my prejudice unfounded. At the posts
where the Young Mems Christian Assocla-
tton was active there was a decrease of
courts-martial and assertions. and the
listed men were more contented and happy.
The association had been a decided help
i'll discipline. and had resulted in general
tcning up of the entire command.
when coming TO camp after a long
march in the Philippines, l found the asso-
citation secretary ready with barrels OF
Ice water, quantities of correspondence pa
per, numbers of newspapers and maya
zines, and music, comfort and cheer for my
men just at the time when the saloon is
most attractive TO them, L concluded that
the service Of an organization that was
wide awake enough to provide these vastly
appreciated comforts 10 soldiers away off
in the Philippine jungles was Invaluable
to the army"

quentiy surprised, boloed and rnutilated in
cold blood, a series of thirteen earthquakes
completely demoralized the troops and gave

ipgs of men everywhere.

seems to have oVershadowed nearly every
other question, and men are evidently more
DESTROYS of having this problem solved than
they are of deciding the form and functions
or the government under which they live.
lnseparably connected with the subject is
the question of wages or the fair rerl1unera-
ton of labor.
THE laborer in his toll gives part of his
life, and justice demands that in return he
receive what is necessary to maintain life
not only in himself. but in his wife and
children; hence the workingman has the
right to demand for his compensation all
that is needed to support himself and those
naturally dependent upon him In a condi-
ton Of moderate comfort. / say in a condi-
ton of moderate comfort for Just as the
breadwinner IS not piece of merchandise,
so neither is he beast of burden and the
return he receives must be sufficient to en-
able him to pass his days in respectable
surroundings, to live upon wholesome food
to wear decent clothing and to educate Ais
children In fitting manner for the stern
tragedy of life.
LAS long as employers hold to the prin-
ciple that labor may be regarded as any
other marketable commodity, so long will
they fling to the winds the pressing claims
Of justice and humanity"
Commissioner of Labor Wright proves the
superiority of the union over the non-union
shoe worker. According to Mr. Wright 8
latest special report, shoe manufacturers
who employ union labor gained twenty-one
hours, twenty-five minutes and six and
one-half seconds on every 100 pairs of shoes
made over manuf5 cturers who use non
union help. In other words, shoe manufac-
turerS who employ unorganiZed workrnen
have to pay for twenty-one hours, twenty
TWO minutes, six and a half seconds more
labor on every 100 pairs of shoes turned out
OF their factories than do their wiser COM
petltons who hire union help.

The Retail Clerks Union of Washington
has placed itself squarely on record in
favor of the Sunday closing bill Mr.. D.

views OH the Sunday closing proposition
He says:
$50 long as the modern labor movement
has been in existence 1t has been one of its
demands. and serious efforts to abolish the
seven days work for week. or in other
words. to secure one days relief from toll
for the workers, usually spoken of as Sun
day rest. OF course we have been largely
successful In this direction, but IL goes
without saying that in many sections OF
our country and our city the workers are
still required to give their services for seven
days in each and every week.
ut may be true that in many cities
throughout the country there are large
plants in full operation on Sunday but in
our beautiful city of Washington we do not
have these large manufacturing industries
to take into consideration. We do find,
nevertheless, that many of the prominent
business houses have their establishments
open for the sale of goods on that day the
same any other day OF the week.
In my Judgment, it is not only just and
humane, but essential TO the progress of
our people, the perpetuation of our race,
liberty of our country. the moral, material
and intellectual advancement of all, that
one day of rest in the seven should be the
universal rule.
''Seven-day workers are positively poor
workers. lacking the yigor. stamina and
character so necessary TO the maintenance
of sterling manhood and womanhood. As
