privilege of breakfasting with you, neither
Of us at the time being aware of the

What the Writer Heard.
Later in the day, upon casually stray
was somewhat astonished to hear re-
sounding through the room your words,
repeating some of mine. uttered. how
ever, thoughtlessly:
"'.At breakfast this morning l happen
ed to overhear a remark made by one Of
those two-by four know-it-alls which set
me thinking. 1t was this: No class Of
people can get any money from the gov
eminent except the farmer and the Grim
inal.' Continuing, he said: DO you know
that there are appropriated every year
| for the farmers of this country etc.
Il commend, sir, to your attention, the
coincidence which allowed you to hear
these words of mine, which, however
grossly ignorant. nevertheless set you
thinking, and my subsequent hearing or
your own words of corrective statistics
on the floor of the House.
Il sincerely thank you for your re-
marks on my personal appearance which
is OF small Importance, but they did not
coincide with the descriptive adjectives in
your opening remarks. May l say that
you estimate me wrongly: am 2la by "a,
not by 4.
In some seriousness, my remark, l be-
lieve, reflects, at any rate, the well
| founded opinion of millions of my class,
| that much of the money appropriated
i by the Congress is wasted. The app-o-
/ pria tions are increasing, and so is the
1 adverse opinion. We know little of the
! details of the disbursements, because few
! congressman make speeches as clearly
explanatory as your own, but we do know
| Of the useless. free seed graft, the
abuse of the ranking privilege, and many
! other similar extravagances. and unfor-
tunately these cause more adverse COM
ment than is offset by the real use of
| certain departments, as that of agricul-
| ture.
Regarded as Amusing"
II ask your pardon for addressing you
thus, but believe that you may find the
recital of our little coincidence amusing,
which it certainly was to me.
Il commend to you again. in real ear
| nest, the desirability of catering some
| what to us two-by-fours,' for we afe
legion in number. and really show signs
Of restlessness when we see YOU chaps
in Congress spending our money too
| freely.

BRlcKMAKERS REFUSE TO MAKE
MORE CONCESSIONS

The union brickmakeTs' council by
a majority vote last night agreed to
make no more concessions to the
brick trust and the strike will con-
tinue indefinitely. This move may
cause one of the bitterest labor wars
ever staged in Chicago.
Following the announcement that
the union council had decided not to
accept their peace terms; represen-
tatives of the brick trust called hur-
ried meeting and arranged for the
employment of strikebreakers.
The hitch in the plans came over
the refusal of the brickmakers to
grant the employers the right to dis
charge men Unfortunately.
The present trouble causes the
most serious situation in the build
ing industry ever faced in the city.
If the brick trust hires non-union
men all other trades unions employed
in the building line will probably walk
out on strike Immediately.
Already $35, zoo, 900 worth of build
ing work has been tied up. It is said
500, 600 men may soon be out of work
as a result of the strike.

Brewery Workers

Prohibition and its results was thor
oughly discussed at the opening session
OF the convention of the International
Brewery Workers Association at the
Lyceum in Baltimore. The principal
speaker was Samuel Gompers, presidenl
OF the American Federation of Labor.
He bitterly denounced prohibition in all
its forms, declaring that the time was
at hand when the Brewery Workers, as
well as others who oppose prohibition,
should unite in an effort to educate the
people OF this country as to the effects
of prohibition in states which have gone
"dry." His denunciation of prohibition
stirred the convention hall, and there
was a series of cheers for him. He de-
clared it was an evil and not good,
and that the real harm is done in muni-
cipalities and states where a majority of
the voters have chosen to close the sa-
looms. He cited conditions in a number
of dry states and urged strongly upon
the convention the necessity of educat-
ing the people up to the real conditions
in these states, where prohibition does
not prohibit and where municipalities
suffer great losses by the reduction in
revenue from the saloons. There are
several hundred delegates to the con-
vention from various sections of the
United States, representing in all about
$4,000. The convention will last for sew
eral weeks.
