MUOD AND LABOR.
Tribute From An Employe at Wash
ington Navy Yard.

Mr.. II. w. Roe, 1880 Francis street.
Baltimore. employed i'm the Washing
ton navy yard, and member OF Co
lumhia Lodge ia, International Asso-
citation OF Mechanics, made TO an
American reporter yesterday the fol-
lowing statement regarding the attacks
of Samuel Sompers on Congressman
Mudd:
THE action of MIR. Gompers i'm op-
posing the Hon. sydney T.. Mudd for
reelection TO Congress has met with
the disapproval of all well-thinking
members of organized labor who have
n vote in the Fifth district. and who
have in the past had dealings with
Mr.. Mudd in the interests of organ
lied labor. Mr.. Gompers, the profess
sional labor leader, has no authority
to speak for anyone except his i'm
dividual self.
During the Spanish-American
war, when a committee of Columbia
Lodge No. Ia, International AsSocia-
tion of Maehinists, afllliated with the
American Federation of Labor. were
at the Capital trying to secure 90 per
cent. additional pay for those who
worked in excess OF eight hours per
day nj the Washington navy yard, they
called ON MIR. Gompers and requested
that he assist them in securing the
above. He fatty refused to aid them.
Then Mr.. Mudd was appealed To
and he took hold of the bill in his
usual manner and had il passed. when
they made the attempt TO get fifteen
day annual leave bill passed, which
affected all the navy yards, aresnals.
etc., including Annapolis, Mr.. Com
pers made the demand that our COM
mittee Immediately disband.
MIR. Mudd took hold of that bill
jointly with senator Elkins and had
il passed. AS members of organized
labor, we feel il our duty To vote in
the interest of Mr.. Aludd, regardless
of what MIR. Gompers says

most primitive simplicity. In accord
ance with an order from Bishop Scan
nell, the music at the services Yester-
day was confined in all Roman Cath
Ollie churches of the diocese to congre-
gational singing and male voices. No
vocal or instrumental solos were heard
and no instruments except the organ,
which played the accompaniment to
the congregational singing The or
der of Bishop Scannell was issued in
conformity with the wishes Of Pope
Plus, who is strongly opposed to all
display of brilliancy in the music or
singing at the regular church services.
He strongly favors a return to the
simple forms of worship and has re-
peatedly expressed himself against vo-
cal and instrumental solos or anything
of a musical nature that would attract
the attention of the congregations from
their devotions. It is expected that
the example established In this diocese
will gradually be initiated throughout
the country.

Great interest is evidently taken in the
next examination which will be held
for filling twelve vacancies in the grade
of assistant paymaster of the navy
This examination will take place at
the navy yard on June II, before a
special board. The candidates who
are authorized to appear before the
board will be announced shortly by AS
sistant Secretary Newberry, who has
charge of the selection Of candidates.
This appears to be an excellent oppor-
tunity for young men who can meet
the requirements, which are not excess
sive. The general qualifications as to
age and physical ability are liberal
enough to admit any young man to the
list Of candidates, and it is hoped on
this examination to fill all the vacancies

WOULD Be BLESSING TO THOUSANDS
National Church Association ls Con.
siderins Plans to Do Away With
Tenement Houses.

NEW YORK, May lone of the
most interesting features of the con-
vention Of the National Church asso-
citation for the advancement of the in
terests Of labor, which opened its ses-
sion here today, will be the discussion
suggested by Mr.. Alexander Law, Sec
rotary Of the st. Crysostem's chapter,
to do away with the tenement house
evil. Bishop Potter, who was really
the instigator Of the idea upon which
the plan is based, is the president of
the national organization.
Mr.. Law proposes that the city
condemn and acquire property and
build thereon municipality owned
houses, to be occupied by citizens at
low rents, just sufficient to pay the
legal rate of interest on the property
and its proper maintenance and that
these houses eventually be sold to the
tenants at cost price, If the plan is
put into effect, it will eradicate, In the
opinion of Mr.. Low, the much condemn
ed tenement houses, and will provide
safe, sanitary habitations with all
modern improvements. He also sug-
gests that the entire area of Long ISL
and be incorporated within the city
limits of Greater New York, for it
seems evident to those who are foster
ing the plan that the trend of popula-
ton is toward the eastern end of the
island. 1t is generally conceded fact
that Manhattan will eventually be the
workshop and Long Island the home,
or sleeping place, of the millions of
people in the city. At the present rate
of progress in transit facilities, it is
estimated that it will not be long be-
fore Mantauk Point will be within one
hours travel from the borough of Man.

existing in the corps. In this connec-
ton it is interesting to know that
about the only personal legislation
which stands a chance of enactment
this year is that which will give pro-
motion to assistant paymasters to the
next higher grade, after they have
served three years in the former posi-
ton. This is done in order to escape
stoppage of promotion on account of
lack Of vacancies in the senior grade.

The Rain Of Ashes.

Like most Indians, he was averse to
much talking. Tonasket told the writ
er that a tradition had passed down
from generation to generation among
the Indians that long before the white
man was seen the sky rained ashes for
moon (month) and that all the game
went away and stayed away for a long
time, and thousands of Indian died
from starvation that winted for want
of food. All they had to live on was
camas and roots.
