AWAITING INSTRUCTIONS.
Striking Bricklayers at New Union
Station Still Out

The striking brcklayerS at the new
union station are still out. They are said
to be awaiting instructions from their ma
tional officers before taking further pro-
ceedings. 1t is understood that the national
president of the bricklayers and the inter-
national president of the slate and tile
workers had a conference at Philadelphia
today in reference to the union station
walkout.
Mr.. Ben Russell president OF Local No.
-, Slate and Tile Roofers of America,
made statement to The Star. From the
tone of the publication concerning the
bricklayers' strike at the union station
he said, seemingly word from the 'un-
der dog in the fight would not be am SIS
at this time far as a truthful under
standing of the controversy is concerned
Fact No. !. We, as slate and tile roofe-s
are not doing work that 'rghtfully belongs
to the bricklayers,' inasmuch as the
cement tiles now being laid on the union
depot roof are not and cannot b.. claimed
by any intelligent man. whether connected
with the building trades not, as GENE 1t
blocks in any sense or form. but are roof-
ing tiles, pure and simple; and further
more, do not in any manner conflict VITA
the claim of the bricklayers for jurisdiction
over all cement or concrete work that is
used a substitute for brick.
Fact No. .. 1t is not truth. as stated
by Washington brickayer that one raa-
son for the substitution of skaters for
bricklayers is that the latter receive not
less than 81 per day, while the pay of the
skaters is but $3.50 per day. Outside Of the
question that this job is pSreiy a roofing
job. the wages of a journeyman slate and
tile roofer in this jurisdiction is - cents
per hour, or S4.lG for a workday of eight
hours. which is the smallest wage now
being received by any member of this local
union working on the union depot job"

allowed a man with brass buttons to get
near the scene of The game. The contest
was unusually interesting Saturday, how
ever. the ball had been knocked through
a window nearby, and the batter about
to score home run. when Policeman Nc
Quade rushed into the crowd of players.

AS TO NATIONAL QUESTIONS
Young Men Advised to Take Interest
in Politics

That young men should study national
questions, take an active interest in poll
tics and ally themselves with one of the
political parties was the advice given by
y. b. Hayes of the Department of Justice
who spoke before a large audience in the
gymnasium of the Y. NJ. c. A. building YES
terday afternoon. The Young Man and
the State was the subject of the address
Mr.. Hayes declared that there must be
party factions in a country like the United
States because there will always be differ
ence of opinion. And every party relies on
its organization. or its machine to bring
IL success. But that machine" he said.
depends for its control on the will of the
majority. a shrewd leader may thwart
the will of the majority for time but
sooner or later the organized majority will
rule
There is no political success nothing Is
! accomplished in the line of reform, with
out this organization or machine the
| speaker asserted. The party is one made
up of individuals. and you ought to ally
yourself with one of the parties
The political leaders are in command
because they stand for policies which real
leaders of parties say must be enacted
INTO law The real leaders are the men in
the office, workshop, behind the counter
IN the country store. If you please, who
study the questions at issue and embody
their ideas in platforms. No man remains
! long a leader who gets away from the de-
| mands of the thinking public.
There is a disposition among business
| men to neglect politics and to allow all
government affairs to part from their
| hands Those in the parties should see that
! the parties are in the hands of men
| seeking the best policies for the country
\ If you say politics are corrupt and if it be
| true, II is because the men of integrity al
! low corrupt men to take charge of the
i parties, through Indifference"
| Mr.. Hayes discussed various questions
| which are to be decided by the young men
! OF today. Among them, he mentioned i'm

/ disposition of the insular possessions. the

| Are you ready to accept the burden?'

BY JUNIOR DEBATERS.
Discussion of Federal Regulation of
Insurance.

The question affirming that federal regu-
lation of insurance is desirable was dis
cussed before the Junior Debating Society
of the school of law, Georgetown Univer-
sity. at its weekly meeting last Saturday
evening. Messrs. Ellis and Brown repre-
scented the affirmative. while Messrs Gar
rett and James argued for the negative
The constitutional side of the question
was dwelt upon at length, but the affirma-
tive was unable to explain away the numer-
Gus Supreme Court decisions to the effect
that insurance is not commerce and there
fore not subject under the Constitution to
any other than state control. and the So
ciety decided in favor of the negative.
A general discussion by the society at
large. instead of by selected teams, is
scheduled for next Saturday evening on the
question affirming that the principles of So
cialism are unsound.

Statement by VIM. F. Downey as to
Home Rule Measure.

The officers of the Michael Davitt Branch
Of the United Irish League, who are busily
engaged in the closing up of their sub
scription lists in response to an urgent ap-
peal from Mr.. Michael ]. Ryan Of Phila-
delphia, national president. discredit the
rumors of the proposed home rule measure
falling short of Irishmens expectations.
Mr.. w. F. Downey, president Of the Wash
ington branch and member Of the national
executive committee, says: Il place abso-
lutely faith in some Of the sensational
cablegrams published within the past few
days. The only definite Information we have
is that May an Irish council bill will
be introduced, and no one outside the Brit
1sh cabinet Is in a. position to tell what
the provisions of that bill are. All pre-
d1ctions are purely speculative. The United
Irish League of America Is satisfied that
the case Of Ireland is in good hands when
intrusted to the Irish parliamentary party
and Its leader. Mr.. John E. Redmond, MP.
ireland has entered on q new era-an
era of peace, progress and success. and 1t
Is now the duty Of every Irishman who
possesses a spark Of patriotic regard for
his native land to prove his willingness to
serve his country by coming to the fnan-
cial assistance of the Irish parliamentary
party. Mr.. Ryan writes me that the fifth
remittance of $4,000, completing the full
amount pledged at the last Philadelphia.
convention, will be forwarded during the
coming week, and Washingtons contrlbu-
ton will be included in that. This is the
opportune time. and the American sub
scriptions will arrive at moment when
they can be very appropriately and use
fully applied.
Il feel particularly encouraged by the
number and amount of the subscriptions We
have received, but more than all, by the
moral sympathy expressed in the patriotic
letters received from such men as Right
Rev Mgr. O'Connell, Very Rev Thomas ].
Shahan Father Quill and others. This will
in all probability be the last time appeals
of this nature will be necessary, and, as
