Killinqs Made for Revenge.

The shooting last night was revenge
for the killing Of an On Leong in Cleve-
land on November 26. Early in Novem-
Der Leong Ong Yong, one of the big men
in the Hip Sings here went to Cleveland
with another Chinaman. on the 26th OF
that month an on Lcong was killed there
and Leong Ong Yong's partner was
charged with the crime. Since then the
police and Chinatown habitues have been
on the lookout for reprisals.
Last night was the favoring time. The
cold had driven the loiterers from the
streets and the gambling houses were
filled. Neck Duck had started new
gambling club at No q Pell street, con-
venient to the corner Of Doyers street
which was again convenient to the ar
cade through from Mott street to the
bloody angle. and Lung Yu, vice-presi-
dent Of the Hip Sings, was dealing fan
tan for Mock Duck. It was piece Of
luck that Chong Pom Sing, the president
of the Hep Sings, should be gambling in
Mock Ducks last night.
The steps in the arcade, halfway
through from Mott to Doyers street, have
been the dividing line between the land
of the on Leongs and the Hip Sings
since Judge Foster made the treaty be-
tween the tongs, four years ago. Two
wears ago the line was forgotten, when
the on Leougs crossed into the enemy's
territory and got three Of the Hip
Sings. Last night it was unguarded and
when the ON LeOEgs crept up the steps
they found no one between them and
Doyers street Also, there was no one

to Pell street.
ONLY two doors intervene between the
corner Of Pell and Doyers streets and

a yestibule less than four feet square,
and from that there is another door into

URGES WORKERS TO

Representative Wilson of Pennsyl-

Action by Labor.

Ridiculing the possibility OF one Of the
2O&0o0 employees Of the United States

with any success, Representative W. B.
Wilson Of Pennsylvania, last night in
an address before the Building Trades
Council. at Plasterers' Hall, Four-and-a-
Half Street and Pennsylvania Avenue.
pleaded for concerted action OF the DS,0oo
employees for the protection Of their
rights.
Men do not engage in business for
philantrophic motives" said REPRESENTA-
tive Wilson. "but to make every dollar
out OF Il they can. and II they are strong
er than those who work for them, they
will take advantage Of the workers weak
ness every time"
The speaker told OF improvements in
sanitary conditions for workers In the
mills and factories. the shorter hours
Of labor, and better wage scales. While
none OF these are yet what they should
be-" said Representative Wilson. they
are better than they were some years
ago. and every gain that has been made
and every step that has been taken, in
reducing the hours OF labor and ad-
vanclng the wages. has been brought
about by the concerted action Of the
laborers themselves. Wages have In
creased as a result OF organized labor"
