Pay Tribute to Father Of
Island independence.

Officials Of the Cuban legation,
high Masons Of the District, and
of patriotic organi.
zations will attend a novel cere-
mony this week at the Raleigh
Hotel, where two tablets, one of
marble, the other of bronze, will
be affixed to the facade of the
guest house in honor of General
Garcia, one Of the fathers of Cuban
independence and the stanch ally
of American troops in the Spanish
war.
The tablets, In care Of a notable
delegation from the island repub-
lie, are expected here today, though
the day has not been set for the
formalities. It will be recalled that
Garcia died at the Raleigh. shortly
after the close of the war, from
an attack of pneumonia.
The plates, about one foot by
three. were brought to New York
by a committee of more than sixty
prominent Masons, members Of the
Gran Logia de La Isla de Cuba,
headed by F. ". Prevail, secretary
Of the lodge; DR.. Heliodoro Gil,

FUNDSAT HAND
To PROVIDE FOR
SHOPMEN HERE
Washington District Is Hard
to Hold From Financial
Standpoint, However.

That the Washington sector of
the nationwide fight OF striking

strike benefits. and that special
committee is investigating all re-
ported cases Of need before issuirg

There are two reasons for this,
according to Charles H. A. Frazier,
business agent for the shopmen.
The first is that II was a stipulation
at the time the strike vote was
taken that in view of the number
of men involved. 500, 900. the rsgu.
Lar benefit Of 81 a day would not
be paid except in cases of zeal
impoverishment. An outlay o.
100000 a day would have quickly
exhausted the shopmen's resources.
In many of the smaller towns,
this situation has been materially
eased by the fact that a great pro.
portion of the population were shop
crafts members, and so are receiv-
ing cash aid from business men and
farmers OF the surrounding terri.
tory whose interest II is that their
buying power should be maintained
at something like normal. " :
But this is not the status in
Washington. That part of the pub

Is against the union, Frazier main.

negligible and the organization lead

Nevertheless, Frazier declares the

James A. McClelland. vice presi-

addressed the strikers this morn.

board In the Dominion to which
all COMPLAINTS In railroading or
other fields of industry must BE-
referred before a strike can be
ordered. Officials Of the local
unions declare this board presents
no advantages, so far as they can
see, over the United States Rail
