'In view Of the complicated and
unsettled condition of labor industries
in the District of Columbia, by reason
whereof building operations are seri-
ously interfered with and practically
prohibited,
Resolved, that it is the sense of
the board of governors of the EN-
ployers Association of the District
of Columbia that from the 9th day
of June, 1907, until such time as ar
rangements looking to the free and
uninterrupted continuation of build
ing operations can be effected, there
should be a cessation of so much of
such operations as covers work per-
formed by plasterers, metal fathers,
tile layers, galvanized iron workers,
ornamental iron workers and hoist
ing engineers, who now refuse to
work upon the improvements now in
course of erection.
"All members of this association
are requested to concur with this res
olution."

SAN FRANCISCO, June 6-United Sattes
District Attorney Robert T. Devlin will to-
day forward to Washington a transcript of
the testimony taken by him during his in
vestigation into the wrecking of Horse
shoe restaurant and Japanese bath house
on Folsom street several weeks ago. Ac-
companying the testimony will be Devlins
report on the occurrence. What the nature
of his report is he refused to state.
Only Expect Damages for Reparation.
TOXIC, June 6.-The leading papers here
whose opinions are worth quoting. are alb
solutely silent on the question of proceeding
to extremes in the settlement of the San
Francisco affair. Common people
expect only reparatfon in the form of dam
ages for the losses suffered by japanese
residents there and the punishment of their
assa1lantS.
Japan is taking proper steps in the matter
and while the public is irritated at the
hardness displayed in effecting a solution
of the difficulty, it's opinion has not vet
reached the stage of advoca ting an appeal
to hostile demonstration in any form.
Incidents Must Not Be Repeated.

Even traditional friendship will not es-
cape rupture should incidents like those
that have occurred in San Francisco be re-
peated. Whether or not the sufferers are

What We want are not many express

The general tone of the japanese press is

ance in some form is made to insure the
safety of the Japanese in San Francisco it

in the telegraph room of the White

a rifle at Charleston. S. c., to open the
national Scheutzenfest. Although the

CRUDE MELCDRANA

BERLIN. May THE Kaiser's taste

melodramas, and Major Lautf. who
writes spiritless plays about the EN-

Both these mediocre dramatists have
been decorated by the Kaiser and are
graduating as courtiers. Major Lauff
was commissioned by the Kaiser 10
write his historical plays in order that
dead-and-gone Hohenzollerns, whom the
average Berliner never heard Of might
be glorified. His majesty has gone so
far to support Bonn against the mere
