He got down from the buggy and
fastened the horse to a tree. He ap-

asked the nearest man.
The man scowled and shrugged his
shoulders. He glanced toward the
camp. Hilary. looking that way. saw
Black Pierre emerging from one of
the huts. He went toward him. and the
two men met face to face.
Still without reason to believe in
Pierre's hostile intention, Hilary sud
denly became aware that they were
ringed by circle Of men, who gradu-
ally drew in toward them.

Hilary saw. out of the corner Of his
eye, that the ring was swiftly con-
tracing. 1t struck him that Pierre and
he were posted face to face. like prize
fighters. He tried to keep his temper
and to remember Connel's counsel.
Pierre thought he was afraid. He
sneered openly.

calmly, disregarding the others trucu-

Pierre made short, vicious stabs at
him; he was muscle-bound and could
not extend the elbow-joint with any
force, but any Of his short blows, deliv-

Hilary stepped aside as Pierre pre-

ONLY WANT JUSTICE,
TRANSFERS SAY

In q statement issued today, Nom
bers OF the Tcamsiers' Association OF
Wilmington who have Increased the
rate for hire OF teams says.
I'VE don't want sympathy. we want
Justice. The tesmsters Of Whining
ton want 10 let the public and the
directors OF the Street and Sewer De-
parlment know that we, the team own
ers. do not get so per day. as We
stated. We get sS day for nine hours
work. which makee q rate OF about 50
ccnte an hour TO feed two horses
pay the driver. shoe the horses, and
The upkeep OF the harness and wagon
III was also stated that We ask for
an increase OF si50 per day. We are
not asking for such raise. We are
asking for increased allowance, how
ever, as the price OF feed. horse shoe
ing and all other repairs have just
doubled
'Mr. pierson. the street commits
sloner, stated the other day that team
sters In other cities get from s. 20 to So
per day That price comes as a con-
tract price when contractors bid for
certain jobs. specifying so many teams.
Some OF them bid TO supply 40 or 80
teams and then put 20 or % on the
job. But they get paid for 40 or 90
teams.
"A small place like Chester. Pa, pays
50 for an hour day. In Philadelphia
they receive $40 for hours work.
Team owners in Wilmington work 9
hours and get paid for 10 hours work,
making the rate Of pay just SO cents
per hour. We don't want 10 be profi-
teers. but we do want living"

OF building; cost Of material. initial
cost OF labor. and the loss OF produce
tion OF labor.
The builders have no control over the
first named and the "lnitlsl rate Is not
as great factor as the lack OF produc-
ton" The report then says that at a
committee conference OF the master
builders and their employees on March
is. 1T was openly and positively stated
by one OF the iourneymen present, that
while the men were discussing The mat
ter Of production at one OF their union
meetings, some speaker made an open
hsrrangue advocating a revise OF pro-
duction and urging them 70 give as ut
tie work as they could for their wages.
II was openly asserted by one OF the
carpenters present that they were not
doing all they can. and this statement
was not denied In a body or twenty car
penters present"
The report then declares: 'srhe max
ing or breaking OF the building Indus
try, outside a few large metropolitan
cities, Is absolutely In the hands OF the
carpenters. as they deliver the major
portion Of the work on the average
lob. The very high rents that they
are complaining about are caused large
ly, in the final analysis. by the men
who work on buildings. taking money
for the work they do not perform
The fact OF a body OF men feeling mat
their compensation is not In the proper
proportion 10 the cost OF living and
then raising their compensation Is sim
ply extending the vicious circle which
can never terminate until It breaks by
lie own tension"
Under these conditions the repor;
ouotes a builder as summarizing the
situation by saying: THAT reason
able rate at which men can get busi-
ness is better than an unreasonable
one at which you can get neither work
nor business" In other words. the re-
port adds, "a low rate with plenty or
work Is better than higher rate, with
nothing 10 do"
The special committee which made
the report is composed OF Hugh nj.

son, Harry T. Reed. Harry s. Lynch and

VERA CRUZ, June 8. - It has been practically decided by the health authorities of Vera Cruz, as result of the continued spread of bubonic plage, to destroy third of the houses in the city in which the disease has already developed and where conditions are such as to en- courage the belief that it will de- velop. Plans are now being made to set fire to the structures, many of which are poorly constructed and filthy in the extreme. It is believed that the destruction of the houses is the only way in which the plague car be ercdicated. s-

CORDOVA LEAVES ON FIRST VOYAGE
 ID BER|NC PORT

SEATTLE, June 3.-The Alaska Steamship companys steamship Cor dova sailed for St. Michael yester- day, being the first vessel of the season to get away for the Bering coast. The steamship Victoria will follow the Cordova on Friday. and the ketchikan is scheduled to ger away for Nome sometime next week.
 The bulk of the cargo of the Victoria, which is now loading, is consigned to upper Yukon points. only about 300 tons being for Nome, the smallest shipment ever consigned to the Seward peninsula town on the first boat of the season. Very little of the freight is con signed to Siberian points.
 Reports received in this city from the North indicate that the breakup in Bering sea will be considerably later than usual, and there was some
 talk last week of postponing the early sailings. It was finally de cided, however, to adhere to the original plans. r.. .*
