LET'S GO PLACES !!

Reports from Eastern railroads for
the first three weeks of June indi-
cate that 1886 is to be great travel
year. 1t is apparent that the urge to
go places has been greatly stimu-
lated by the marked reduction in fares
made effective on June l, according to
Mr.. w. G. Brown, passenger traffic
manager of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad
Eastern points of interest are
again competing with the wonders of
the West" announced Mr.. Brown.
There has always been a strong de-
sire on the part of Middle Western
ers to see the nations capital, At
lantic City, and the great communities
of New York, Philadelphia and Balti-
more; but Western national parks,
plains and mountains offered sue
cessful counter attraction. Now the
movement is reversed. The travel
trek is eastward and is increasing
steadily. Since eastern railroads cut
the travel dollar practically in two,
people in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio and other central states are
locking up the car and going in style
by rail-"
Low fares are not the sole induce
ment for this Eastern travel, Mr.
Brown added. Smooth riding, air
conditioned coaches and Pullmans,
excellent food at moderate prices,
convenient schedules and alluring
"all-expense tours" help the public to
decide TO take that trip"

FIREWORKS BARRED

Sheriff John G. Schumacher issued
a warning Tuesday that premature
use of fireworks in Butler county

Several complaints regarding boys
firing shooting crackers have been re-
ceived during the past few days, and
a number of offenders have been warm
ed about their conduct. Some COM
plants, Sheriff Schumacher stated,
were made by persons who are i'll and
unable to stand the noise.
Motorists also are requested to re-
fraim from hurting shooting Crackers
from autos. One fire has already been
attributed to that cause, Sheriff Schu-
macher stated.

Strike Not Justified

Washington, d. G. (ILNS)-An
emergency board to investigate en-
ploye disputes of the Western Pacific
Sacramento Northern, and Tidewater
Southern railroads reported the dis
putes could be settled under the rail
labor act
The report was signed by G. Stan
leigh Arnold, chairman; Will j.
French and Macy Nicholson. The
board was named in an effort to avert
threatened strikes on the three lines.
"The board believes that these cases
can and should be adjusted under the
processes of the railway labor act
as outlined in the findings" the report
said with these avenues of settle
ment available, there is no justifica-
ton for the employees involved to with
draw from the service of the three

AUSTRIAN REGIME
Seeks to Cow Trade Union
lists By Terrorism

Washington, d. G. (ILNS)-Sen-
tences passed on two Austrian trade
unionists are denounced as terrorism
in report issued by the Interna-
tional Federation of Trade Unions
from its Paris headquarters. The
report says:
One June 5, two trade unionists,
Rudolf Holowatyj and Ferdinand
Steindl, came up before the supreme
court in Vienna, after having been
sentenced by the lower court to ten
and five years hard labor respec-
lively. They We're accused of high
treason by trying to reconstruct and
carry on the free Trade Union of
WoodWorkers which has been dis
solved. On the same charge, Holo-
watyj was also sentenced by the police
to one year Of Imprisonment.
The attorney general has based
charge on two pamphlets, confiscated
in April, 1884, at a time when Holo-
watyj was in prison, 50 that they
could have been neither written nor
produced by him. The Attorney Gen
eral therefore extended the charge
| during the trial to twelve articles in
| three issues Of the Revolutionary
Building and Wood Worker" arguing
that they represented a reasonable
act because they demanded demo
cracy and elections, and, since no cleo
tions were provided for in the con-
stitution, and could only be ordered by
a dictatorship, the demand for demo
tcracy and elections was high treason
The supreme court had to admit
the untenability of this sentence, but
did not quash it, reducing Holowatyj's
sentence from ten to six years anC
leaving Steindl's at five years. Holo.
watyj's sentence was made six years
so that he should not benefit from the
amnesty which is being prepared anc
which is to cover those serving sen
tences of up to five years.
In thus sentencing Holowatyj ant
Steindl, the Austrian government anc
its court want to hit the great ma
ljority of the Austrian workers, whc
have remained true to the principle:
of free trade unionism, and want tt
terrorize the thousands of worker
who are demanding the restitution b
freedom of association and the othe
rights of which they were deprive,
after February, 1884. The pretext
on which these two trade unionist
have been sentenced are too thin an
the whole sentence is SO untenabl
from a legal point of view, that tn
workers are bound to recognize it fo
what it is-terroristic procedure!
We demand an amnesty and the re
lease of Holowatyj and Steindl!

The International Ladies Garment
Workers Union has adopted re-
designed union label and has become
affiliated with the union label trades
department of the American Fedora
tion of Labor. The label is printed on
heavy linen or satin and bears the
white eagle" of their emblem. It is
issued by the Ladies Garment Work
ers' Union, and is now available on
union-made wash dresses. The ladies'
garment workers plan to extend its
use to silk dresses, children's clothes
and other women's apparel lines in
a few months.
In connection with the new affiliate,
Secretary Ornburn, of the union label
trades department, issued the follow
ing statement:
I'VE are pleased to have the Ladies'
Garment Workers Union in the union
label department. | believe that with
the stimulus that has been given union
label buying IN the past year, and
with the added momentum which has
resulted from the organization of the
American Federation of Women's
Auxiliaries of Labor, the Ladies Gar
ment Workers will receive greater
demand for their union-made goods.
1T is encouraging to have the con-
fidence of the labor unions that have
adopted union labels and are affiliat-
ing with the union label trades de-
partment, and also to have the reviv-
ed cooperation of the members of
labor unions, the auxiliarized wom-
ems organizations, together with the
members of their families and their
friends. These great movements are
creating united force through col
lective buying that the chiselers
can't stop"

RAIN PROMISED
TOMORROW

AS washington emerged out OF
an early-morning fog which ham,
pered traffic and tied up airplane
schedules, it was greeted with the
prospect of fair weather and ris-
ing temperatures continuing until
tomorrow when there will be light
rain followed by colder weather
tomorrow night.
The fog hung over the city long
enough this morning to make driv-
ing hazardous for the thousands
of motorists on their way to work.
Airplane takeoffs were delayed
here until about II o'clock.
With the disappearance of the
fog, however, the sun rapidly
drove the mercury up from 80
degrees at 8 a. m. to 42 degrees
at noon. The prospect is for
continued warmer weather, with
the thermometer dropping to only
about 38 degrees tonight, accord
ing to the weather man.
The fog early today was caused
by sharply rising temperatures
over a wide era soaked by a
weeks thaw.

STRIKERS
HIT SNAG
WaIkout in N. Y. Stock
Exchange Blocked;
Others Walk Out
By JAMES L. KILGALLEN

BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN
NEW YORK, March U.N.S).
A spectacular attempt by striking
building service employees to tie up
the New York Stock Exchange, fl.
nancial nerve center of America,
failed today when the 26 elevator
operators in the 24-story structure
refused to walk out.
In some quarters this was re-
garded as the first major defeat of
the strikers.
With the strike spreading all
over the city, James J. Bamhrick,
strike leader, was reported ready
to call a walkout in the Grand
Central area which embraces the
Chrysler, Chanin. Graybar and
Empire State buildings. Even
Rockefeller Center might be af-
fected by the threatened new
order.
Elected by Police
Twenty picketS invaded the
stock exchange and brushing past
smartly attired brokers and bank
ers shouted to the elevator opera
tors:
Hey, you guys. This is a
city-wide strike. Don't be vel
low. Come on and join the
strike"
The traders. surprised by. the
invasion, moved into the trading
floor while special guards of the
Exchange, headed by Capt. Will
liam RohrS, fastened to the as
SiStance of the operators. They
were told to take the cars to the
basement and close the doors.
With the aid of three city po-
licemen the invading pickets were
elected.
The operators remained on the
job. Service was interrupted only
briefly.
Farley at City Hall
The picketS, however, were stub
born. They Immediately began
seeking recruits.
Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia
meanwhile was holding a peace
conference at City Hall with op-
posing factions in an attempt to
settle the strike.
Elsewhere in the nations larg-
est city 10000 workers were on
strike in 1,100 buildings, accord
ing to police estimate.
Violence broke out at intervals
in widely separated sections. The
police department reported more
than 800 cases of disorder, in

APPROVED
BY HOUSE
GROUP
Total of Capital Supply
Measure Boosted by
$9O8, ,283 on Hill

Despite the fact that the budget
bureau estimates for the District
Of Columbia were increased by
$908,28 to q total of $42,573, ,283
for the fiscal year 1887 by the
House Appropriations Committee.
the Federal contribution was
slashed from the budget recon-
mendation of $5,700,000 to $2,700.-
600, it was revealed today when
the District appropriation bill was
reported to the House.
This was the dish put before
the people of Washington today
by Representative Tom Blanton
Cd of Texas. in charge of the
bill, who had promised that the
measure would be "one of the best
appropriation bills the District
has had"
Based On Tax Rate
In an attempted explanation Of
its action in so ruthlessly decreaS-
ing the Federal contribution, the
committee report said:
"The admitted evidence Of
the District Commissioners be-
fore the committee has con-
vinced it that the local residents
of the District of Columbia, un-
der the provisions of this bill,
will pay less taxes on their
property, respectively, than the
people elsewhere pay in any
other city of comparable size
anywhere in the United States"
Major items recommended in
the bill which did not carry the
approval of the budget are: Re.
placement of superstructure at
Chain Bridge, $250,000, eventually
to cost a total of $3.50 900; addi-
ton to Eastern High School, $685.
600, and construction of a new
police court building, $1,000, 900,
eventually to cost a total Of
$1,500,000.
Reductions Made
On the other hand, however.
there are numerous items recon-
mended by the budget which the
committee decreased, so as to
bring the total net increase over
the budget figures to $9O8,283.
Among these decreases are $248,.
035 in the Public Welfare item.
$4,000 in salaries, $36,542 for sew.
ers, $25, 900 for collection and dis.
posal of refuse.
The pela for increased Health
Department appropriations, which
has caused considerable interest
throughout the city recently, was
disregarded by the committee,
which reduced the budget eSti.
mates for this department by $23,.
800, most of which was to have
been expended for salaries.
The Committee also rejected
