OF L Differences Between the Plumbers and Steam Fitters. ————— THE ELECTRICAL CONVENTION The proceedings of the Federation of La- bor at the meeting next Tuesday night will, it is expected, be exceedingly interest- ing. Not only fs there a large amount of postponed business to be attended to, but it is believed the report of the proposed or- ganization here of a branch of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor will be brought by some of the members before the body. The statement in regard to this matter published in Thursday’s Star has attracted wide attention in labor circles. It is said some of the officers of the American Feder- ation of Labor have been in correspondence for several months past with some of the representative labor men here in reference to the matter. The first steps In this move- ment were taken in Washington, and it is said the official of the A. F. of L. to whom the first coinmmnication was address was quite surprised at the allegations contained in_the letter. Subsequently the Granite Cutters’ Union of the District, among others, received communications on the subject, and in sponse to a special invitation from Presi- dent John Mcbride of the American Fed- eration of Labor, that union has decided to hereafter affiliate with that great body. This brings the gianite cutters into ad.) tion not only with the 800,000 members of the A. F. of L. in the United States and Canada, but also with 1,500,000 members of societies of organized lator in Great Britain as well. The granite cutters were formerly con- nected with the American Federation of Labor, and their national union had a dele- gate in the Pittsburg, Pa., convention in issl, which established the Federated Trade Unton mevement of America. The organization not only assisted in the es- tablishment of the federated trades and labor movemert, but participated in ts councils and aided in {ts work up to the convention held in Columbus, Onhlo, in 1886, when it merged into the American Federation of Labor, and for some years thereafter the union was connected with th F. of L. For some reason not clear- iy defined the granite cutters have not dur- ing the last few years been represented ut the annual conventions of the American Federation of Labor. President McBride's Letter. In calling attention to this state of af- fairs, President McBride, in his communica- tion, said: ¢ “With a desire to again secure your hearty co-operation, and thus strengthen and premote the cause of trade unionism, the present executive council takes this method of tendering fraternal greetings, and extending an invitation to your na- tioral union to again affiliate with the American Federation of Labor. “We recognized and appreciate the gal- lant stand your union made in defense of principle in the recent great lock-out in New England and elsewhere; a stand which will ada one of the brightest pages to the history of the trade union movement in America. “Some breaks in your ranks, caused by the lock-out, together with the financial depression and industrial stagnation of the past three years, have no doubt injured your organization and increased its bur- dens. “If, however, you should deem it wise to accept our invitation and again affiliate with the American Federation of Labor, the organizing machinery of our organization will be directed to aid you in the work of building up and encouraging your craft interests wherever and whenever opportu- nity affords. “The question of revenue need not stand in your way, a8 our per capita tax is ar- ranged so low that little objection can be made to it. Under the head of revenue, our constitution charges ‘from international) or natioual trade unions a per capita tax of one-fourth of a cent per member per month,” or, in other words, three cents per member in a year; and we feel that this will be more than compensated for by the assist- ance we can give to your national body along the lines of general organization and legislative action. “At no time in the history of trade union- ism has there been such an absolute nece: sity for the solidification of labor's forces as now confronts us; hence, your interests, as well as ours, require your co-operation in the work of ameliorating trade condi- tions. We want your assistance, and we | guaraatee our: Ss above stated, *the Granite Cutters’ Unjoa of Washington have, in response to Mr. McUride’s letter, voted to unile with the American Federation of Labor. The Local Federation and K,. of L. One consideration that seems to have in- clined a number of labor leaders here to encourage the formation of a branch of the American Federation of Labor here is that in the local federation, by reason of its constitution, the great labor unions of the do net have a representation or infl 2 proportionate to their strength. Tae lon, beca of the fact tha antzation represented, whether es twenty members or a rs, has the same number of deie- and the me number of votes, is, it aimed, practi urder the control of the Knights of Labor. One of the mem- bers, dise ing this phase of the matter with a Star reporter, said: “The Knights of Labor, through the or- ganization of a lot of small assemblies, each of which has five delegates in the fed- xtion, While an organization with a thou- nd tnembers, like the Bricklayers’ Union, is entitled to no more, is enabled to control federation, but the time is rapidly ap- proaching, we believe, when there will be an end put to this state of affairs. Leade of the K. of L. here have been warned that were treading on dangerous ground, have laughed at those who warned here can never be a really amicable agreement between the members of the federation not members of the K.-of L. and the Knights of Labor, because of a great difference in principles. The pledge of a trede unionist simply goes as far as the trade organization and those of his craft are concerned, whereas that of a, Knight of Labor applies to his relations with every member of the body, no matter to what craft the member who may be entitled to sympathy and ald may belong. n this regard I believe the K. of L. right, and I wish that the trades union organizations would carry out th principle of helpfulness and symr principle which would extend and all men, whether they belonged to the cr or not, but such Is not the case, and in the trade ‘inion organizations the extension of sympathy is limited to the craft of which the distressed or grieved brother is a mem- jatmed by the trades unionists that t one of the large trades unfons here rs more members than all the Knights of Labor assemblies combined. 1, it is asserted that through the di- on of the Knights of Labor into many all assemblies that organization domi- nates the federation. Plumbers and Steam Fitters. The question at issue between the hot water and steam fitters and the plumbers, to which reference has been made in T! Star, and which grew out of the objection of the latter to the admission of the delegates of the other to the federation, at last Tues- day night's meeting of the federation, con- tinues to attract much attention. It is argued in behalf of the plumbers that the federation ought not to admit delegates from a body in any way hestile to a union already connected with the federation until all differences had been adjusted. On the other hand, it Is claimed that there is no re vyhy the plumbers as to how many see proper to s werk, what the latter as just compensation for s to be willing to risk an joint committee part of the steam fi and plumb- which has undertaken to effect a@ set- tlemert of the points of dispute between apy to whether tk the two organizations, will be able or not te accomplish their mission. The fact that ‘the steam fitters are already represented in the Building Trades’ Council, as well as being affiliated with their national associa- tion, makes the situation more interesting. Marine Band d Organized Labor. The composition of the committees on the part cf the plasters and plate printers, re- spectively, which have in charge the mat- ter of the cenduct of the Marine Band to- ward those organizations in the matter of the Labor day parade, leads members of these organizations to expect that their reports, when presented at the meeting of the federation Tuesday night next, will be filled with mighty interesting reading. The Marine Band occupies a rather peculiar po- sition, so to speak, toward the labor or- ganizations. It was, it is said, through their influence that the federation some time ago refused to admit the delegates from Columbia Musical Union. One result of this action of the federation will be, it is said, that Columbia Musical Union will take an active part in organizing the pro- posed branch of the American Federation of Labor here. The Electrical Workers. An enthusiastic meeting of the members of Local Union, No. 26, Electrical Workers, was held last night at No. 837 7th street northwest, with President John M. Berger in the chair. Announcement was made that, in a recent conversation with some of the members of the union, Mr. James L. Kernan, with whom organized labor has long had a grievance, told the former that he had recently had some work performed by union men in Baltimore, and that he was much pleased with the manner in which it was performed, and that he also intends to employ unfon men in future. It was further announced that the Academy of Music, the National Theater and Allen’s Grand Opera House have all engaged union men as electricians for the coming season. President Berger will be at the National, Mr. W. E. Beagle at Allen's and Mr. Wal- ter Burke at the Academy of Music. The delegates to the federation were instructed to vote for the admission of the delegates of the Steam Fitters’ Association to that body. A letter which was read by the secretary, from Grand Secretary-Treasurer Kelly at St. Louis, stited that Washington is now fourteen votes ahead of all competitors, and there is no reason to doubt that the convention of the National Brotherhood will be held here. Mr. H. K. Miller was elected an active member, and Messrs. Joseph P. McClink and I. B. Brown. were elect2d delegates to the federation, in place of Messrs. John Hebbard and H. Beaton, resigned. The convention committze will have a meeting tomorrow to arrange for a hall for the convention. President Berger this morning received a letter from the secretary of Local Union No. 73 at Saginaw, Mich., stating that- the members, at a mecting held a few days ago, voted unanimously in favor. of Wash- ington as the piace for holding the next convention of the National Brotherhood. This gives Washington a majority of fifteen over all competitors. The Painters. After discussing a number of matters of importance to their union, the painters, at their meeting last night, indorsed the action of the Federation of Labor and District Assembly No. 66 in placing the Eckington and Soldiers’ Hoine Railway Company on the unfair list. The Eccentric Engincers. The eccentric engineers held a meeting last night and Geyoted most of their time to making up the returns from the excur- sion on Labor day for the benefit of the widows of the two cornice workers who were killed some time ago. It was stated that the excursion was more successful than had been expected. AMUSEMENTS. Grand Opera House.—Mr. Robert Downing has been remarkably successful this week in his new play “Helena,” but tonight he will close his engagement by appearing in Saumet’s twagedy of “The Gladiator.” This in deference to numerous requests of peo- ple who appreciate his excellent work in the role of Spartacus. “The Black Crook.”"—The management of the Grand Opera House announce a special attraction for the week beginning Septem- ber 9, when the grand spectacular play, “The Black Crook,” will be presented by a large company, representing the original cast during the remarkably successful years’ revival of the play at the Academy of Music, New York.

Charcot was Invited to the jail by the officials for the purpose of try- irg her remarkable powers on William Brusseau, who was then under the sentence of death for the murder of Dr. Pope. At the expiration of two minutes he became completely under the control of the opera- tor; the effect was so startling that the officials became uneasy and requested Mlle. Charcot to discontinue the test. The lady is positive that had she been permitted to continue she could have transferred his mind to the scene of the murder and again make him go through the actions of killing Dr. Pope.

AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA The Opera Hore Has a New Manage- ment, Many Local Notes of General Interest From Down the River—in the Mayor's Court. The opera house in this city, which has been under the management of J. M. Hill & Co. for a number of years, has passed into the hands of Mr. Jas. F. Peyton, who is on the business staff of the Alexandria Times. Mr. Peyton has been the represen- tative of the New York Dramatic Mirror in this city for a number of years, and, having been a close student of the stage and everything connectéd therewith, a par- ticularly bright and prosperous season is anticipated.

Alphonso Arrin$ton, a qwell-known char- acter tn this city, got somewhat the worst of an encounter with cis former partner in the ber room business yesterday after- ncen. Charles Knoxville is the other man, and what he aid fori ‘Fonsie’ was “a- plenty.” Knoxville drew out of the firm some time ago, and opened a place a few dcors frcm Arrington’s, and evidently drew “the crowd” away from him. Yesterday afternoon “Fonsie” passed, and, as usual, used sme very harsh language to his for- mer agrsociate. Knoxville’s patience had become exhausted, and he hit “Fonsie’’ over the head with a heavy piece of tim- ber which he uses to bar his door with. It was some time before Arrington recov- ered from the effect of the blow, and when he did he lodged a complaint against his assailant, but found him already in cus- tedy. He was released on $25 collateral for kis appearance at 7 p.m. He was fined $5 by the mayor, and “Fonsie” was warned to suppress his feelings. Sent on to the Grand Jury. Mayor Thompson last night sent the first prisoner to the grand jury of his career as the chief executive of this city. James Reed and James Sullivan were charged by Frank Walker, a tugboat engineer, with making “a touch down” of thirty odd dol- lars from his person last Tuesday. Walker was on a drunk and bed between thirty and forty dollars in his pocket. He claims that Reed and Sullivan induced him to take a ride in a hack, and while doing so Sulli- van put his hand in the pocket of his trou- Sers and extracted the money, at the same time telling bim he hadn't a better friend on earth. Sullivan denied being with Wal- ker, and Reed stated that he had not seen Sullivan that day, but had seen Walker very drunk. Reed was held as a witness and Sullivan was sent on to the grand jury, this being the second time this week he ha: been in the mayor's court charged with stealing money, though the first charge could not be proven conclusively. Mayor’s Court. Mayor Thempson diposed of the following cases last night: Charles Knoxville, charged with assault- ing Alphonzo Arrington, was fined $5. Jas. Sullivan, charged with robbing Frank Walker of between $30 and $40, sent to the grand jury. Harry Jackson, a small col- ored boy, charged with stealing tallow from J. Driefus, was ordered to be whipped by his father. Isabella Williams, an old colored woman, was fined $2 for harboring two unlicensed dogs. At this morning’s session of the court his honor had only three cases before him: Rachael Bantz, a colored girl, arrested by Officer Dean, was charged with indecent conduct with a freak known as the “half horse, half man,” now on exhibition In a dime museum here. The freak did not appear in court, but he stat- ed to an officer last night that he was go- ing to marry the girl, end she gave the same testimony In court today. She was fined $5 or given sixty days on the gang. Wm. Brown and Wm. Brackett, vagrants, were sent out of town. Notes.

For live epring chickens 10 to 14 cents a pound are asked; old fowls, 6 to 10; ducks, 8 to 10, and geese, 5 to 7.

Every- thing possible to make the day an enjoy- able one is provided for, and there will be numerous attractions found there. The season is rapidly drawing to a close, and all should avail themselves of such an ideal place to spend a few hours out of the city. The day will be enlivened by Prof. Schroeder's band, and the steamer Macalester will leave at 11 a.m., 2. and 6:30 p.m. 2 It will be hard to find a more pleasant place to spend Sunday than at Chapel Point. Tomorrow morning the steamer Samuel J. Pentz will leave at 9:45 o'clock, and it is expected that a large number will make the trip. Capt. Randall has engaged Prof. Arth’s band to give a con- tinuous concert on the boat and at the grounds all day, and it is safe to say this will be One of the most enjoyable excur- sions given this year. Many amusements are offered at the Point, including excel- Jent salt water bathing. The steamer Macalester will leave today at 6:30 p.m. for a sail to Indian Head and Marshall Hall. These trips are becoming popular every week, as jis evidenced by the large crowds who have enjoyed ihem. Music and dancing are the features of the evening, and stops are made at Marshall Hall both ways. The many Washingtonians who would enjoy a trip to Norfolk and return may take advantage of the cut rates which are offered by the management of the steamer City of Richmond. The boat will leave this evening at 6 o'clock, and it will be a trip well worth taking. There will be music aboard the boat, and the return will be made by 8:30 o'clock Monday morning. The fare for the round trip is $2. The tally-ho coach Hine fs now offering a pleasant country ride every day.

Gray, secretary of the Eckington ard Soldiers’ Home railroad, as published in yesterday's Star, charging the occupation of New York avenue with the peles and wires which are used by the trelley read, was sent to police headquar- ters last evening. This morning the war- rant was sent to the eighth prec *' sta- tior for service, and the case may ». -vably be called in court Monday. The warrant had not been served up to ncon today. Mr. Gray said this morning that he understood the decument charged him with maintaining the poles as the gen- eral marager of the company. He said that he was not the general manager. That position ts filled, he stated, only by an elec- ton Feld by the board of directors, and no such acticn has been taken since Mr. W. K. Schoepf’s resignation, and neither has the latter been accepted yet. ee Perhaps Fatal Fall From Bed. William Marshall, an invalid, eighteen years old, living at 309 E street northeast, fell from his bed yesterday and met with severe injuries, which render his situa- tion critical. He has for some time bé suffering with curvature of the spine, and has been under a physician's care. He was dreaming that he was going to a fire and had to cross a railroad track. Just as he was crossing it a locomotive struck him, and he awoke to find himself lying on the floor in great pain. The lower part of his body was paralyzed, and Drs. Frederick and Kerr, who ettend him, fear the accident may prove fatal. ——— $1.25 To Baltimore and Return. $1.25 On all B, and O. trains, including ‘min- ute flyers and all Royal Blue line trains, September 7 and 8, good to return until September 9, inclusive.—Advt.

The Evils of Tea and Coffee Drinking have hecome apparent throughout the civil- ized countries. The medical profession has thrown its weight of authority against the practice, and frequently referred to the baneful results occasioned by the free use of these articles as a beverage. Every con- sumer should realize that coffee is not an aliment but a medicament, possessing a powerful active principle or alkaloid known as “caffein,” which produces serious de- Tangements of the digestive organs and the nervous system. Dyspeptics, nervous persons and all those suffering from indigestion, insomnia and general debility should try the great hy- gienic Knefpp Malt Coffee. which is abso-~ lutely free from all injurious substances.
