STRIKE SITUATION
ADJUSTING ITSELF
Carpenters Contention with
Builders Drawing to Close.

The strike situation among the local
unions is beginning 10 adjust itself, and
the builders, in most instances, are hav-
ing no trouble IN carrying on their work.
The Amalgamated Society of Carpen-
tiers has not called any Of their men
from work as the result Of the ultimatum
issued by the American Federation of
Labor. Business Agent Gilmore stated
that they had no men working as strike
breakers, and that the relations now ex-
listing between them and the Brother
hood OF Carpenters was friendly.
The situation with the Brotherhood is
gradually coming 10 a close They re-
port that only fifteen men are now out
on strike
Most of the men have found employ
ment with the builders who agreed to
the demands. The builders. il is stated,
are coming over TO the unions demands,
and there are only four or five who are
holding out
The sheet metal workers situation is
about the same as the Brotherhood Of
Carpenters. Most of the builders are
agreeing to the unions demands. and but
a few men are likely to be on strike for
any length of time.
The carpenters upholsterers, cabinet
makers. diapers, paper hangers. painters,
and gildeTs who went on strike in the
factories OF a local furniture firm are
still holding out for a closed shop, which
the firm has refused 10 grant. The union
men declare that they will finally win
their contention. as the class of work
turned out by the firm is such that il
cannot be done by "scab' labor.

Bankers and postmasters throughout
the country are slow TO realize. ap-
parently that Congress enacted a postal
savings bank law at the recent session.
There has been a strange lack of In
terest in the new law by the two classes
more directly affected
Up to Monday night, less than fifty
banks had made application for designa-
ton as repositories OF postal funds. and
less than fifty postmasters had asked
that they be authorized to accept postal
savings. Letters were received at the de-
partment yesterday, swelling to pre-
cisely fifty, the number OF bankers who
want postal deposits With the mail re-
eeived yesterday, just fifty postmasters
had asked that their offices be designated
as postal savings repositories.
The indications are that the board of
trustees. composed Of the Postmaster
General, the Attorney General. and the
Secretary of the Treasury. VIII be unable
TO designate the pOst-OhiCes that. are 10

The system Is not to be generally in
troduced. It will be tried in an expert

post-offices of all classes may be desig-
mated as postal banks.
II is known 10 be the purpose OF the
board Of trustees TO limit designations al

Industrial Washington" is the hobby
Of Robert n. Harper.
When asked 20 make selection, he
remarked that his hobby Of the moment

bring manufactures TO Washington. with
such a utilization of modern electrical
and fuel-gas developments that the ad-

would be furthered rather than impaired.
He spoke of this interest from the view
point ot the fnancier, who recognizes the
potent value in community building Of
the accumulation and retention OF capital.
Manufacturing cities, he observed. were

ASKING PARDON FOR MORSE.
why labor Paper United in Appeal
to President.

From the Knights Of Labor Journal.
Mrs. Charles W Morse is doing most
heroic work for the release Of her dis
tinguished husband, who. as the result
Of the money panic Of 1907. is now serv-
ing ffteen-year sentence in the At
lanta penitenulry.
1t is generally conceded. whether true
or not, that Mr.. Morse was technically
guilty; not more so, however, than thou
sands Of other men who are engaged IN
the banking business and who are doing
identically the same thing, with no
thought OF II being unlawful
The law and the manner OF punish
ing for its violation Is, indeed, a strange
proceeding. We recall the case OF the
Chicago banker who. through his rascalIy
manipulation Of the peoples money
placed in his charge, made paupers of
thousands Of poor people. and drove
some to suicide, while others were forced
to early graves. When this man was
tried and found guilty he was sentenced
to but twelve years Imprisonment, and
shortly thereafter pardoned.
In the case OF Charles W Morse 1t
was shown that no person lost a dollar
through his technical violation OF the
a.
all bankers commit and recognize as be-
ing within their wrights with never a
thought of wrongdoing For this viola
ton Morse was sentenced TO fifteen years,
which sentence was, in the opinion OF
thousands an unjust one
Mrs. Morse is using her best efforts
TO induce President Taft to grant a par
don. She is securing the signatures of
men of power and influence from every
part OF this country for presentation to
the President, praying he grant the par
don.
The writer signed this petition for the
reason that II there was this technical
violation Of the law. Charles W. Morse
has already paid the full penalty for the
crime, and for the further reason that
the sentence imposed by the court was,
We think. excessive.
II is hoped that President Taft him
self a great judge. who knows how 10
temper justice with mercy. Will consider
that the law in this case has been fully
vindicated by the punishment already in
bicted, and that it will be serving the
ends OF justice TO pardon him
Had the Morse violations of the law
caused misery, suffering. want. and
hardship TO any of his depositors. as was
the case in the Chicago bank failure re-
ferred to, and the many other bank
failures that have occurred In various
parts of the country, there would not
and could not be any good reason given
for asking the President TO pardon him.
With thousands of others who are
pleading. through petitions, for the par
don Of Charles ". Morse. we ask the
President to grant this request. and send
him home to his family and friends.

SAW HAMPTON ROADS BATTLE
An Eyewitness Account of the
1Ierrfmac and Monitor Fight.

An Eyewitness Account of the
Merrfmae and Monitor Fight.
From the New York sun.
r. P. Waller, of Norfolk. Va. who is at
the Imperial. says that he watched
through a spyglass the whole fight be-
tween the Merrimac and the Federal
feet ia Hampton Roads and the contest
between the former and the Monitor.
II almost got into a row here in New
York a few years ago on account Of it,,
said Mr.. Waller yesterday. IT came up
here especially to see a cyclorama Of the
battle which was being exhibited, and
the lecturer made a lot of false state
ments which I felt called upon 10 cor
rect. He became angry, but when I ex-
planned that I had seen the fight itself
he apologized and said he didn't know
anything about II, but was speaking the
speech his employers had given HIM.
Il was only a boy at the time of the
fight. but l had several friends on the
Virginia, as the Merrimac had been re-
named after they turned her into an
ironclad. There was young DOrning. for
instance, a midshipman, whose father
was an officer In the Federal navy.
Everybody in Norfolk had relatives and
friends on the boat, ard when the news
spread that she was going out 10 attack
the Federal feet people began to flock
early in the morning Of March to the
waterfront. I was at the end of Main
street, which was fully fourteen miles
from the scene of the fight. but with the
spyglass which 1 had taken from our
house near by could watch things pref
~ closely for time. until the smoke got
so thick you couldn't see anything over
there at all.
THE Virginia wasn't much for looks.
Her boilers and engines were Of the
kind that are used IN sawmills and she
could make only about four miles an
hour. II was beautiful morning when
she got around the point and headed for
the Federal feet. which was lying off the
mouth OF the James river. I could see
that the first gun she fired was to lee
ward and was not aimed al anything-a
sort of challenge. Then she was lost in
cloud Of smoke and we could hear the
big guns going for what seemed to be
hours. Then the smoke lifted and we
could make out the Cumberland begin
ming to go down by the head. The
crowd almost went wild cheering.
But It was a brave show she made
as she went down, with her guns firing
all the time until they reached the
waters edge. Some OF them We could
see explode as the water got to them.
But the Congress did not make any
attempt 10 stand her ground. She JUST
made lieketysplit for Old Point, so as to
get near Fortress Monroe, but she struck
on bar as we watched and then there
was more cheering. Wei. stayed down
