NO UNION MEETING TONIGHT.
An Error in Stating Yesterday That
There Would Be One

An error WAS made in yesterdays pa
per IN stating that there would be a
union meeting at the opera house this
Thursday evening, and the way the
notice found its way into the paper was
curious enough Several months ago a
union meeting was called and the no
tiee which was intended for The Times
was lost. It was picked up and handed
to The Times this week Therefore, the
notice was inserted in yesterdays pa.
per. Union men should all take notice
that there is no meeting at the opera
house this evening.

INSPECTION TO BE RIGID.
Secretary StrHUs Insists on Careful
Examination of Vessels.

A more rigid inspection Of the steam

is contemplated by the Secretary of Com

partment against what is alleged to be
the carelessness Of owners Of vessels car
rying passengers Secretary Straus be-
lieves that the enforcement Of the steam
boat inspection laws is in competent
hands, but he wants to obtain stricter
inspection Of all steam vessels over which
the United States has jurisdiction
The Board OF Supervising Inspectors OF
Steam Vessels, which has been in session
here for several weeks. adjourned yester-
day. It's members were invited 10 the
office OF Secretary Straus where a fun
and free conference. was held concerning
the work OF the service. Secretary Straus
impressed upon the supervising inspectors
the necessity Of a strict enforcement Of
the inspection law, declaring that where
human life entered as a factor. too much
care could not be exercised In safeguard
ing IT, He dwelt somewhat on the fact
that as the spring and summer seasons
approach travel by water will increase
tremendously In volume and he expressed
the hope that nothing would be left I'M
done to insure the safety OF persons
travelling on vessels over which the gov

ALL TELEGRAPHERS PLEASED.
Postal, as Well rs Western Union,
Men to Get Increase.

Men to Get Increase.
All teIegraphers employed by the
Western Union Telegraph Company and
the Postal Telegraph-Cable Company
are to be granted 10 per cent increase
In wages. The Western Union Company
has made official announcement to this
effect. and it was stated on good au-
thority that the Postal will do like
wise in a few days
The increase is directly due to the
strike of the Western Union men in
Chicago. and is the outgrowth Of the
many strOubIes Of the telegraph com
pany's employees that were practically
general in twenty-five cities. and which
date back for many months. Local
conditions In the Postal office that re-
suited in several changes in the local
officers also figured
The trouble originated in and around
Houston. Tex, when the Western
Union men struck. Later the men IN
the Western Union Office in Chicago
signed a request for an increase in
wages, not as union men. but as
employees The request, it is said,
was ignored, and nine OF the men
were laid off. Another petition in
the fo-m Of a demand was pre-
scented. which was signed by the en-
ployes as union men. A strike resulted.
Many other cities were affected, and
telegraphers all over the country pre-
scented a schedule calling for a 20 per
cent increase in wages anG an eight
hour day. AS a compromise, II is said.
the two companies granted the 10 per
cent increase. which will be accepted.
The strikes have been declared of and
conditions are again normal throughout
the country.
The telegraphers, It Is understood,
were planning a general movement
when they received the increase. They
were supported by the Chicago Typo
graphical Union and other organiza-
tiOns Although they have accepted the
increase granted. it was said yesterday
that this would probably only apply
temporarily, as they expect within q
few months to make a renewed demand
for the other 10 per cent and the eight
hour day.

Editor The Washington Herald:
I would like TO call your attention to
the surprising manner in which I was
treated to-day at the Assessors Office,
where I called in response TO a notifca-
ton I received regarding my assessment.
On entering the Office of Assistant As
SCISSOR Nye. I found several gentlemen
sthere, and, after saying Good morning,
gentlemen" sat down to await my turn.
When the gentleman who had been talk
ing TO Mr.. Nye left, 1 moved into the
chair he had vacated and again spoke
courteously to Mr.. Nye. He replied with
a command: Take off your hat"
I was astonished at the order, and eX-
pressed myself to that effect, saying that
1 did not see why / should take off my
hat when the gentleman who had pre-
ceded me had worn his, and when all the
other gentlemen in the room were wear
ing theirs.
air. Nye replied that he would do no
business with me until I took off my hat.
and, throwing down my papers. turned
away.
Mr. Griffin came to me and asked me
why I did not take my hat off, as re-
quested. and 1 told him 1 would have
done 50 If I had thought it was the rule
Of the Office. but that 1t was a public
place, and there was no reason why
should do so when others didn't.
It does not seem to me 1 was accorded
fair treatment. I have always received
most courteous treatment from the rest
of the board. and to-day when Mr.. Griffin
asked me why / had not taken off my hat

The important fact became known yes
terday that the government Of Japan has
indicated clearly to the United States
that the exclusion Of Japanese coOlie
laborers from the continental limits Of
the United States viii not be offensive to
Japan
In the light OF this knowledge, the situa-
ton assumes a much more satisfactory
aspect, and an adjustment that viii not
interfere in any way with the conunu-
ance Of those extremely cordial relations
that have prevailed between Japan and
America for many years seems to be
assured
The vital declaration Of the japanese
government of its virtual sympathy with
the desire Of the United States to eX-
clude japanese coolies was the outcome
Of exchanges that arose, not through the
Pacific Coast agitation, but from COM
plant made by this government to Japan
that many japanese were being brought
into this country In violation of the con-
tract labor laws. To this complaint
Japan responded that il did not want
its laborers to come TO the United States
and, in fact, refused to grant passports
to its coolie emigrants 10 proceed 10 the
Americant continent, although passports
to proceed to Hawaii and other insuIar
possessions of the United States were
being issued.
But" said the American government
in effect. your laborers are coming 20 the
continen. from Hawaii"
Japan's Answer Simple.
Japan's answer was simple and direct.
It was practically this: why don't you
stop them. We viii not object"
The result Of these exchanges with ia
pan, and subsequent correspondence grow
ing out of the Pacific Coast agitation, was
the action Of the Senate and House con-
1erees on the immigration bill in adopting
the so-called japanese amendment
The knowledge that Japan viii not be
offended by the exclusion Of her coolies
seems TO assure her formal acquiescence
in the provisions of the amendment, II is
said to be the purpose Of this government
TO endeavor to insert in the proposed new
treaty with japan a clause that viii bind
the japanese government to the declara-
tiOn already made, that she does not wish
her coolies TO come 10 tne United States.
Conference at White House.

make its decision about resembling the
order barring Japanese from the schools
in Washington. but the position they viii
take will be determined here
