The Bread Line" at the AII-night
Bank.

The Bread Line" at the AII-night
Bank.
That New York IS becoming a "a
hour city Is the prediction of metro
politan philosophers who have
watched the trend Of events during
the past decade Wise men of
Gotham allege that soon the town
viii be sleeping and working in three
relays of eight hours each; that, in
fact, we shall have three distinct pop
ulations, eacn of which viii scarcely
know how the other two-thirds live.
To this theory the firm establish
ment OF the night bank as factor in
the city's commercial life has given
an air OF stability.
1t is only a few months since the
first night bank started on middle
Fifth avenue, where the gilded
throng passes at night. Already two
more are in full swing. one on Sixth
avenue on the edge of the theater
district, and the otner in the midst
Of the night glare and hustle of Times
Square. and two others are scheduled
to open soon.
An odd feature of the night bank
is the bread line" as II may be
called. This can be seen any night
at one of the night banks, wnen the
night restaurant men come to deposit
The money they have taken in during
the evening Bread money" it
might be called. or, more descriptive
ly. lobster money though the lob
ster season now grows shorter eacn
year, even in New York's gilded dis
trict, and the crustacean gets scarcer.
To the night restaurants man, how
ever whether he serve lobster or ham
and beans. it has been a relief to be
able TO take his evening earnings out
of his own little safe, and get them
into a place Of assured safety for the
night.-Harold Kellock in Moody's
Magazine for January.

REVISION
PETITION BEING CIRCULATED

Massachusetts, Is the First State
Called On TO Take Up Tariff
Cudgel.

Washington. Feb. 5.-Having
failed to secure any result from Re
publican tariff revision petition, cir
culated among members OF congress.
the Republican revisionists i'm con-
gress have taken another tack and are
circulating a petition OF this nature
among the members of the Massachu-
sets legislature. The same course
may be pursued before other Repub-
iican state legislatures now In ses-
sion.
The petition asks the president to
call an extra session OF congress. di-
rectly after the adjournment of the
present congress, to consider the
broad subject of whether certain tar
IN schedules cannot be changed with
advantage to the business interests of
the entire country
4 1t asks that the subject of maxi
mum and mInimum tariff be consid-
cred as a balis for reciprocity with
other nations. but its most signifi-
cant declaration is: "In all cases of
tariff revision the test should he not.
as such a duty demanded, but is such
a duty needed?" 1t asks for a per-
manent tariff commission. Gov.
Guild has spoken before in favor of
the tariff revision, and of course Is
regarded as a hereto and dangerous
character by the high protection men.
OF which the Home Market club is
the exponent.

BREWERY ENGINEERS
Vote Against Giving up jurisdiction TO
American Federation of Labor.

Cincinnati, May 29.-The executive
board of the international union OF
Brewery Workmeu which has been en-
gagged fol- the past three days at tho
headquarters in this city IN compiling
the vote of the local unions throughout
the United States and Canada upon the
ultimatum submitted by the American
Federation Of Labor relative to jurs-
dction over the engineers and firemen
employed in breweTies. announce today
that the count is practically closed and
that the vote cast was against giving
mp jurisdiction.
The mandate of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, as originally promulgated.
required that on or before May 10 the
national union of brewery Workmen re-
nounce its claims to jurisdiction over
the engineers and firemen. This time
was extended aftervard TO May 2S to
enable the brewery workers union to
take a referendum vote of its total
membership.
It is understood that not over
thousand votes out of Il total member
ship OF about 10000 have been cast In
favor of accepting the dlctum of the
American Federation OF Labor. If the
latter carries out its ultimatum. as It
probably will, the charter of the Inter
national Union of Brewery workers will
be annulled and revoked on June /.
This extreme measure has never been
PUT IN force before III the various juris-
diction controversies between the Am
erican Federation of Labor and its az
MATED national unions. 1t marks new
and distinct policy which II is believed
the federation officials have adopted
and viii pursue IN Il number of similar
controversies and the result of the
brewery Workmen's vote thus becomes
matter of intense interest to thons-
ands of trades union men thioughtout
the country.
