their demands go unnoticed after June

The minimum wage scale In this city
for carpenters is at present 81 per day.
In Augusta the minimum is $2.75 and in
Portland 50 is paid. The local union has

price for the labor rendered and that
they are not paid in accord to the amount

For Abo|ishing Memorial
Day Among G. 4. R. Men
Who Are Dissatisfied With Its
Present Observance.
Substitution Of Memorial Sunday
Is Being Suggested.

Boston, May 29-Because of the
present manner of observance the ques-
ton of abolishing Memorial day is be-
ing considered by members of the
Grand Army of the Republic. Com
mander ]. Willard Brown of the Mas
sachusetts department, G. A. R., SUM-
day declared that a movement to this
end is gathering strength among mem
bers of the Grand Army. and that a
resolution to this effect undoubtedly
will be introduced at the coming ma
tional encampment of the Grand Army
in Atlantic City, N. j. The substitu-
ton for the present holiday of a Me-
mortal Sunday to be designated an
nually by the commander in chief of
the G. A. R., is to be suggested at that
time, Commander Brown says.
There is growing sentiment among
Grand Army men that Memorial day
ought to be abolished" the commander
declared. THE day is no longer OBJ
served with the same generation to-
ward those dead heroes who fought for
their country. 1t is better not to OBJ
serve the day at all than to make of 1t
Fourth of July" is his expressed
sentiment.
Commander Brown asserts that the
movement is not an indication of a lack
of veneration by the Grand Army men
themselves. but that the younger gen.
Grafton look upon it as time for max
ing merry.
He thinks that the present Memorial
day should be given over during the
forenoon hours entirely to veneration
of the dead, until the flag is sent to the
peak at noon, when sports and other
pastimes might properly be taken up.
Such day would satisfy the Grand
Army men. he says. and the enactment
of any law which would have this eff
feet would be preferable to abolishing
the day.

until about o'clock that night. being
conscious all the time. While it is not
definitely determined yet what caused
the accident, it is believed it was the
breaking of brakerod, which threw
him under the train of eight cars and
locomotives all of which passed over
him before the accident was discover
ed. Both legs we're cut off close to the
body and one arm and shoulder badly
injured. When his fellow employees
discovered his plight and went to his
assistance Smith coolly directed them
to move him off the track, so that the
passenger train due at that time should
not be delayed.

Preparation in Progress
For Autumn Siringency.
Speculative Liquidation Active
IN the Grain Market.


New York. May 29.-The principal
events Of last week were construed
favorably from financial standpoint,
but they were taken advantage Of, new
ertheless to push stocks for sale and
at declining prices. Preparation is be-
)ieved to be going on in that way, for
the possible strain on money markets
of the coming autumn when the move
ment Of the crops and the requirements
for funds thus involved might embar-
ras an over-extended credit position
such as was shown by the last national
bank return to the controller Of the
currency. Speculative liquidation was
actively pursued, not only in stocks but
in the grain market. and to less ex-
tent I'm the cotton market The COM
pletion Of arrangements for placing is
cues Of American bonds abroad has
formed An additional element Of re-
lief for the money market.
So far as prices Of commodities have
been placed on an artificial level by
speculation or by other causes. an adj
justment to normal is Of prime import
ance from every point of view. The
apprehension Of the banking commu-
nifty over the abnormal situation of the
country's foreign trade has been frank
~ expressed and the prices maintained
here are held responsible both for the
heavy excess of imports over previous
years. and the deficiency of exports.
The process Of speculative deflation.
while painful. is regarded AS essential
and as conductive to salutary results.
Such results are the more assured
by the substantial ground for the fall
In commodity prices afforded by the
favorable crop prospects. There is
steady growth of confidence that the
years harvests will prove abundant.
notwithstanding the backwardness of
the season and the hazards to which
the crops have been subjected. Along
with the promise for the crops, goes
the increased need for money and the
banking facilities for which prepara-
ton is regarded as essential.

The greatest Jam was at the Battery, al

Down the river and into the upper bay

Curtiss was dressed for the trip In wad-
