It is difficult to find 4 good reason for the action of District Assembly No. 66, Knights of Labor, in cond2mning what it terms the “secret cirewlar” sent recently to mem- bers of the board of trade by the president of that body. From the hour of its or-; ganization to the present time the Wash- ington Board of Trade has toiled assid- uously in behalf of the welfare of the Dis- ict of Columbia, and although it has not, accomplished a tithe of what it set out to do, it is nevertheless entitled to the gratl- tude and confidence ef this community. Realizing that before Congress could be perscaded to enact legislation that has long been needed it must be thoroughly informed as to the Congressic:.ally-made contract by which the taxpayers of the “District and the generai government are bound to each other, the board of trade some time ago inaugurated a campaign of education—a campaign not by commit- tee, but by every member of the board. Coincident with the spread of knowledge there was, according to the broadly-framed plan, to be strenuous effort in the interest ef such bills as might properly be advo- cated by the board of trade. The program laid out for the present session hud ¢s- pecial reference to the appropriation of moneys sufficient to give life to praize- worthy propositions, by the practical ap- plication of which the city would secure things it is in dire need of, and employ- ment would be found for thousands of men who, :nost unfortunately, are com- pelléd to idleness. The board ofttrade idea was and is that citizens of the District should do everything in their power to bring about the erection of a new municipal building, the construction of a memorial bridge across the Potomac, the elevation of railroad tracks within the city, an m- crease in the number of school buildings, the establishment of a free public library and reading room, the building of a new bridge in place of the present unsightly and dangerous Long bridge, the extension of streets and avenues, the construction of @ sufficient sewer system, and many other things for lack of which the District has suffered more than a little. Not one of the propositions supported by the beard of trade is without great merit and cach of them would, had it the force of law, bring the light of industrial reccmpense into hundreds of Washington homes now dark by reason of distressing absence of any and all kinds of umployment. Could Congress be persuaded to comply with the by no means unreasonable re- quests of the board of trade there need not be an idle man within the limits of the District, and yet a labor organization—the object of which 1s presumably to benefit its membership—assails the board of trade as though that body of representative citizens ‘was bent upon the accomplishment of a crime. A sorrowfully-large proportion of these who are within the jurisdiction of District Assembly No. 66 have nothing to do, and it is possible that enforced inaction has resulted in the birth of unfortunate, unreasoning and unprofitable discontent; if this is so then there is double reason for regretting the assembly's unfairly critical resolutions. The “secret circular” of which so much has been made never was a secret. A copy was mailed to each member of the board, unaccompanied by even intimation of any- thing like an injunction for secrecy. 1t is a brief and entirely honest request, and has doubtiess been responded to in the same spirit as actuated President Warner in sending it out. The circular is as fol- lows: Washington Board of Trade, Wasaington, D. C., Dec. 3, 1804. ‘The importance of the work to be under- taken by the board of trade during the Official year just begun makes it esseatial that, as far as possible, every public man be thoroughly informed as to the relations of the District to the general government, and of the absolute fairness and desir- ability of the measures proposed. In many instances this can best be accomplished by the efforts of the individual members, and to enable them to properly present the facts in convincing form a circular will soon be sent out giving comprehensive in- formation on the subject. Will you kindly reply to the secretary as carly as possible, giving the names of any senators and members with whom you have such per- sonal acquaintance as will enable you to speak with them regarding the interests of the District, when it ts especially import- ant that united ection be taken. Yours very truly, BRAINARD H. WARNER, President. If there is anything improper in that document the members of the board of trade would like t> have the impropriety pointed out to them. The circular to which attention is directed in it is the very interesting pamphlet tssued by the beard ef trade and unanimously commended by citiagns—a concise statemeat of the re- lationship of the District of Columbia to the general government. The intent of the board is to supplement the painphlet by earnest and concerted missionary work; work that would, if it were successful, put an end to the strirgency and to much of the suffering today much too common at the national capital. It able conjecture to magine that when Dis- trict Assembly No. 66 realizes that in an- tagonizing the board of trade it is with- holding bread and butter from thousands of hungry mouths it will reverse the ac- tion it took last night. os There wer2 about forty-nine men em- ployed on the city post-office building to- day. It used to be believed that forty-nine expert workers in iron and stone and brick and wood could complete the structure by January 28, 1898, but the bottom dropped out of that calculation long ago; if they got through by December 31, 1920, they would be doing all that could be expected of them. In spite of the fact that the work has been going on now for two years, nine months and twenty-nine days, the sec- ond story construction is still incomplete. +e Never before have the children of Wash- ington taken hold of a charitable movement as they have this year of The Evening Star Santa Claus Club. It can be confi- dently asserted that there {fs no charit agency so effective as this, which hd ated from year to year until it works like a huge machine. Not a cent is s for administration. There are no s: expenses, nothing but the desire to relieve every possible case of real need that caa be brought to light. Realizing these thin the grown folks have taken such an int est in the fund and the c as never be fcre has been manifested. The clerks in the city post~ Movement by organizing a branch of The Star Santa Claus Club among themsetves, and contributing a good many dollars to the bank account of charity. May not this example be emulated by the employ of other departments of the governmen The active agents of the club in the find- ing of worthy cases are—first, the schdol children, then their teachers, then the prin- cipals of the buildings and finally the supervising principals of the school divis- fons. Great care is shown in the sifting es fice started a praiseworthy | some cases, rents are paid. A great burden is thus Ufted from the poor of the city. They are tided over a period of distress at the time when they should be most happy. Let the fund grow into thousands of dol- lars! Let every parent encourage his child to work for the sake of charity, for it will be a wholesome, lifelong lesson! Let every business man give, each a little, in the knowledge that poverty is a blight on the prosperity of the community! see An organization known to* the local sporting element and to the police as the Washington Athletic Club is in part re- sponsible for an exhibition last night of what is termed “sparring” by some and “prizefighting” by those who speak the blunt truth. But the Washington Athletic Ciub is not wholly responsible for the brutal exhibition given last night; a large Proportion of the burden is upon the shoulders of the police authorities. To be sure, a police lieutenant did interfere just at the moment when the last fight was about to close, but be erred in postponing his interference for so long a time. The law's opportunity was at the outset; as soon as the referee and the ring and the first pair of pugilists made it evident that a fight was to take place. Of course it may be that the police have an ‘mpression that they cau interfere only at certain times or under certain conditions; if that impression prevails the police are in error; if the impression does not prevail then they are lacking in that fidelity to duty which necessary to the makeup of a trustworthy official. Presuming that non- interference is the result of ignorance, ‘The Star calls the attention of the police department to the following copy of an order in the enforcement of which all good citizens are interested: Office of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, Washington, November 18, 1882. Ordered: That the Major and superintendent of Metropolitan Police D. C, shall prevent exhibitions which tend to brutality, or assume i any degree the character of a prize fight, or where money is wagered upon the result. J. R. WEST, THOS. P. MORGAN, G. J. LYDECKER, (Maj. of Eng’rs, U.S. A), Commissioners District of Columbia. That order has never been revoked and is therefore just as binding as though it had been issued yesterday afternoon.
