ucati0n Protesting Use
of NOn-UniOn Labor
Investigation Is Ordered
Solicitor Champion to Inves.
tigate Matter-B0ard Un-
derstO0d Contractor Was to
Use Local and Union Men.

Organized labor took steps to
block any construction work by Ia
Dor that was not unionized on the
portable school building which is
being erected at the Woodland ave-
nue. grounds Tuesday night when
representatives appeared before the
Board of Education. and protested
against the use of nOn-union men.
Trouble with the union worknen
here was not expected by members
of the Board, as they had believed
that the school would be erected
by union men who were living in
the, city. City Solicitor Champion
was ordered, on a motion made by
Mrs. Margaret Whitman, to call the
contractors attention to law On
the statute books which safeguards
Union labor in the state.
The school contract, which had
not been awarded, was given to the
Asbestos Building company for
$10,075. Council had, the night be-
fore, provided, by resolution, for
the money. An ordinance will be
passed in the next two meetings
of Council.
The Union representatives talked
for more, than an hour during, tie
meeting. They exhibited a clip
ping from a Philadelphia newspa
per which showed that the company
building the school. had advertised
for men at SO a day for work on
the Woodland avenue job. This.
they declared, is contrary to the
laws Of the state. ! They read he
statute to prove their point.
They also. declared that the build.
ing was being erected by outside
labor, while local men were walk
ing the streets" because work was
slack. Here it was pointed out by
Solicitor Champion that the agree
ment had been made with the con-
tracing firm that only local labor
was to be used for the construc-
ton, and use of labor from out of
the city was not in harmony with
the terms Of the agreement which
was made
lit was explained to those who
represented the Unions that the
school had to be constructed as
soon as possible to care for the
extra large school population Of
the Woodland avenue building.
Under such conditions the Board
thought that. portable building,
instead OF one which would re
built By local contractor, could
be erected faster and cheaper han
the latter kind This was why out
side firm was called in to erect the
building, it was statld.
However, 1t was shown that the
Board stood behind the Union len
to the extent that only Union labor
should be used on the job. Action
will be taken at once to place such
labor on the construction, it his
been promised.

sentatives. which sent quite a dele
Cation out to protect their interests.

New Clothes for the Toad.

It is nothing unusual to see a toad
in what is obviously a new skin, still
wet and glistening and almost with a
price tag on it. Few people, however,
have ever seen the toad shed his old
skin. This is because the whole
process takes but five minutes, and
one might watch a toad for days and
be away for short time and miss the
spectacle The skin splits down the
back and along the fore and hind legs
in about the way that a coat is seWed
together by seams. The toad lunches
himself out of the arms and legs of
the skin and wiggles free from the
breast. The only place that remains
draws it in and thriftily swallows the
whole skin.
Now, what do you know about that?
Answers to Saturdays questions:
!. The butcher bird. or Shrike cap.
lures other birds and impales them on
a thorn, to eat them at leisure.
2. Passenger pigeons are not found
anywhere now. being extinct.
3. Barnyard pigeons are not native
birds, but Europeans.
4. The commonest Of our native
pigeons is the mourning dove.
5. Cuckoos build very poor nests
and sometimes no nest at all, even
laying eggs in other birds nests.
g. CuckooS are of different anC
unrelated family from doves AND

Moultrie Holds the Fort.

CHARLESTON. S. c., June %. 1875.
I-C0A William Moultrie's militia, fight
ing Valiantly all day behind their log
fort on Sullivan's Island, have held
off the ministerial Army and Navy,
and Charleston is still safe. Not a
British soldier or sailor has set foot
on our shores. except on Long Island.
where Gen. Clintons unfortunate red
coats were held powerless all day by
our rifiemen under Coils. Thompson
and Clark, while Moultrie put an
effective stop to an attempt of the
enemy fleet to get within cannon shot
of the city.
At least II mighty British men-of
war set out from the outer harbor on
their errand of oppression about IL
o'clock. They came in three divisions.
To reach their goal they must pass
the channel which Moultrie was
guarding. Moultrie was ready for
them. Two sides of his fort. those
facing the channel, were finished. The
rear was wide open. but protected
from CIintons infantry by the rife
men who intrenched behind sand
hills and myrtle bushes. made it highly
unwise for Clinton to attempt cross
ing of Breach Inlet from Long Isla nd.
Having satisfied himself early in the
morning that all was well in that
quarter, Moultrie returned to the fort
shortly before the first frigates
came on.
The finished part Of the fort was Is

palmetto logs dovetailed together into
bins filled with sand. Would this

waved his arms in the hope of fright
ening away that hawk: But that
hawk didn't brighten. Straight on it
came and struck one of those pigeons
in midair only few feet from where
Farmer Browns Boy was standing.
without stopping the hawk swept on,
carrying the pigeon with it. Farmer
Browns Boy watched it out of sight.
1t had flown straight toward the Big
Mountain and at the rate it was 60

I see where I shall have to keep my
pigeons shut up. I am not raising

Now. once upon a time Farmer
Browns Boy would have been terribly
indignant. He would have been ready
to kill every hawk that he got a
chance to, just because that one haw
had taken one of his pigeons. But
Farmer Browns Boy had come to
know the little people of the Green
Meadows and the Green Forest and
the Old Pasture, and to understa nd
that when they killed they did so only
for food: and this is no more than man
does. He was keeping those pigeons
and his chickens for food. He knew
that in the eyes of hawks. owls, foxes
and some other of the little people
who kill for food pigeons and chick
ems had no rights that other birds
hadn't. So he had learned not to
blame any of these folks who were
smart enough to now and then get a
chicken or a pigeon. He knew that
! it didn't happen often and that 1t was
done wholly in the spirit of self preser-
walton. These so-called robbers
were not thieves, for they did not
know they were stealing. They were
simply getting food when the oppor,
tunity presented itself. So he had
learned to protect his chickens and
rarely did he lose one.
! But the pigeons were another mat.
ter He couldn't keep them cooped
| up as he could his chickens. Hitherto
they had been smart enough to take
care of themselves. But if this hawk
were to come that way often some
thing would have to be done about it
Yes. sir. something would have to be
done about it.
