sci masters arriving from down-river

river. states that the tug was frequently
washed by big seas, and while the gale
was heavy it was under the stern Of the
barge he had in tow and the tug was
able to bring it UP the river without diff
nculty.
The heavy blow is responsible for the
loss of the topmast of the schooner Vir-
2inia Dare, and so far as reported she is
the only vessel damaged. The gale has
kept a large fleet of light vessels Tying
in port here. and as soon as it moderates
and the wind becomes more favorable

SUBCONTRACTORS VOTE
/ TO JOIN CREDIT BODY
Hope to Protect Themselves
Against Losses in the
District.

In order to protect themselves against
losses. fifty or more subcontractors of
Washington at a meeting held last night
agreed to affiliate with the Credit Men S
Association which was formed to weed
out the men who have abused credit and
to maintain a credit bureau where the
standing of every business man in the
community can quickly be obtained. The
board of directors of the Credit Men s
Association Endorsed the proposal of the
subcontractors to affiliate with the larger
organization.
Daniel w. O'Donoghue. who spoke fol-
the subcontractors, pointed out to the
credit men that the subcontractor is
given practically no protection by the
laws of the District. The laborer is pro-
tected, he said, for the most he can lose
is weeks wages. through default; the
owner is secured, for. he does not pay un.
til labor is finished; the builder is also
secured, for he gets his money from time
to time, as the work is finished but the
SubcOntractor is between the laDOrer, who
must be paid, and the contractor, from
tractor fails. he added, the subcontractor
can only resort to mechanics lien,
which in the District means nothing.
Law Held Inequitable.
''The lien law in the District is in
equitable" said w. T. Galliher of the
Credit Mems Association, land is class
legislation, because it protects the build
ers and the, material men and not the
subcentractors. According to a decision
of the court, no account is recoverable
by the subcontractor on a mechanics lien
except from the pro rata Of residue of
the building fund after it is completed,
or. in other words. from the unexpended
amount of the contract
The board approved the suggestion of
President H. HI. Mckee that a dinner be
given. in the near future, to which J. H.
Tregoe, general secretary of the National
Association OF Credit Men. be invited. A
meeting of the full association Is called
for next Tuesday night in the rooms of
the '. ashington Chapter of the American
