Members Want to Know How Senator Tillman Stands—Carpenters and Brewers. The Central Labor Union held an inter- esting meeting last evening. Resolutions were adopted indorsing the strike of the steam fitters and helpers in their demands for an eight-hour day, with the same pay as they have heretofore received for nine hours, and calling upon Senator Tillman to state how he stands on the eight-hour ques- tion. Thirteen organizations were represented, and President Milford Spohn occupied the chair. The delegates from the Bakers and Confectioners’ Union were admitted and ob- ligated. The following communication from President Gompers of the American Feder- ation of Labor at Indianapolis to President Spohn was read and placed on file: “The application of your union for certificate of affiliation came duly to hand, and in com- pliance with this request I take pleasure in issuing the same. I desire to extend to your union a hearty welcome into the ranks of the great trades unions of our country under the banner of the American Federa- tion of Labor, and sincerely hope you will be entirely successful tn your efforts to im- prove the condition of your fellow-crafts- men, and by your organized efforts con- tribute to the success of the labor move- ment in Washington. I ask you to report at this office at regular intervals provided by the constitution of the A. F. of L., and at such other times as anything may come under your observation of interest to our movement.” Delegate William Silver, chairman of the Labor day comittee, reported that he had sent a communication to the local Federa- ticn ef Labor and also to District Assem- bly No. 66, K. of L., asking those bodies to appoint a committee from each to meet a similar committee from the Central Labor Union and Huilding Trades Council May 15 to arrange for the proper observance cf Labor day. Delegate Weber, chairman of the visita- tion committee, reported that the commit- tee visited six unions that are not yet rep- resented in the Central Labor Union last week and explained to them the advan- s of an affiliation with the American Federation cf Labor, and that several of the trades had premised to send delegates to the Central Union. Delegate McCrink of the contract com- mittee reac letter from the Baltimore ard Ohio Railroad Company in reply to a communication sent by the committee to them in regard to the contract for music at Colonial Beach. The letter was couche in very complimentary terms, and it was stated that the company would recognize the Central Labor Union as the leading labor body of the District, and make no contracts for music except with the M cal Union. Delegate Brett reported that about 200 steam fitters and helpers are now on strike. and that they not only want eight hours be considered a full day, with the pay her tofore received for nine hours, but they de- mand one helper for each fitter, and also that the helper be paid $1.50 for eight hour: ork, also extra pay for over time and double pay for holidays. Mr. Brett stated, further, that there would be no trouble in.getting the demands of the fitters and helpers conceded by all the em- ployers if {t were not that there is a com- bine of four of the shops, who have thus far refused to yield, but he felt sure that would do so before | The following preamb! unanimously adopted “Whereas, the Journeymen Steam and Hot Water Fitters’, Local Branch, No. 10, and Fitters’ Helpers, nd resolutions merica, organizations affiliated with the Central Labor Union, D. ¢ F. of L., hav- ing been refused an eight-hour work day by several employing steam fitters of this city, therefore, be it “Resolved, That we, the representative trade unions of the District of Columbia, do hereby heartily indorse the stand taken by the Journeymen Steam and Hot Water Fit- ters and Helpers, and pledge them our moral and financial support; and be it further, “Resolved, That a committee of three be hereby appointed to act in conjunction with the committee on contract of the BuHding Trades Council and the Steam and Hot ter Fitters and Helpers in trying to bring about a peaceable settlement of their claim The form of a centract which it Is pro- posed to submit to all business men in the strict reported by tke committee to whom the tec had been referred and adopted Ly the union.

A. 66, K. of L., and the chairman of the con- tract committee stated that he would look into the matter touey. —« The subject of the last speech made by Senator Tilman of South Carolina in the Senate was called to the attention of the union, and after considerable discussion the following preamble and resolutions were adopted. “Where in reading the remarks of Senator Tilman of South Carolina, deliv- ered in the Urited States Senate'a few Gays age, we find he used the following language: ‘The gcvernment says she can buy her ships cheaper than she can build them. Way has that been the case? Sim- ply because business and politics have been brought together, and the cries of certain men have been heeded, who think there ought to be reduced hers of labor. It is the eight-hour labor system and military routine prevailing in the government es- tablishments and one thing and another which produce this undesirable result;’ and “Whereas the labor leaders throughout this country have been speaking kindly of Senator Tillman and indorsing his attacks upon the freat evils of today, we, as the representative body of trade unionism in the District of Columbia, cannot let such attacks upon one of our fundamental prin- ciples go unnoticed; therefore, be it Resolved, That the secretary of this body is hereby instructed to write an offi- clal commenicaticn to Senator Tillman, asking him to state directly how he stands on the eight-hour question.” Carpenters and Brewers. Carpenters’ Assembly, No. 1748, K. of L., held an interesting meeting last evening, in the course of which measures were adopted to begin an active campaign in re- gard to the boycott against those local brewers whose names are still on the un- fair list. There was much discussion in reference to the form of contract which a member of the K. of L. would have to sign before he would be employed or recognized by the brewers, and the opinion was ex- pressed by all who spoke on the subject that the brewers referred to are making an active war on the members of the assembly end the local Federation. It was finally agreed to see if a compromise cannot be effected with the brewers and peace again restored. It was stated that a committee appointed by the Liquor Dealers’ Association is en- gaged in asking for contributions from those in the trade for the purpose of fight- ing the proposition of the general agitating committee to ask Congress to increase the license fee to $800, and the action of the committee was indorsed. A red letter call was issued and ordered sent to all the members, so that they would come together and be informed in reference to the methods that are to be used to carry on the campaign. as White Pine Laths Are the Best, $2.25 per 1,000.

THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, MAY 5, 189¢-FOURTEEN PAGES, AMUSEMENTS. Lafayette - Square Opera, Houge.—There was a large attendance at the Lafayette Square Opera House last night to witness the May Kermiss by the pupils of Misses Minnie end May Hawke. The scenery, elec- tric and calclum lights and the handsome costumes of the children made an attrac- tive sight, and the dancing was fully up to the stardard. The program was an un- usually long one, but every number was successfully carried out. The entertain- ment opened with the coronation of the queen of May, Miss Fannie May Bangs, who held her court in a beautiful woodland scene, with little Gladys Strong as crown bearer and Miss Lizzie Rudd as maid of honor. There was a rustic dance, a co- quette pas de deux, by Baby Burdine and Eddie O'Toole; a song and dance, “I Went to Paris,” by Misses Marjorie Keefe and Beula Boernstein; a Bo Peep drill, a peas- ant dance and La Czarine, by Gretchen and Lasalle Schmidt. Then came a garden scene, with a dance of the flowers, Princess Bonnie, Virginia Walker; Cherry Dance, Margueritte O'Toole; Swell Girls, Lizzie Rudd, Mabel Owens and Louise Kirby; French Polka, Irene Burdine; Butterfly and Persian ballets, La Papillon, Helen Darwin; La Stephanie, Frankie Jones, La Sevelle, Edward Bibbons and La Jote Aragonais. There was for the second part a clown pantomime, with clown, bird and waltz ballets and grand march of amazons, led by Mabel Owen. James O'Toole was the clown; Charles Bebrens, Harlequin, and Helen Durim, Columbine. There were many solo dances in this part, all of which Were well done. ‘The third part commenced with a sailor divertisement, with a hornpipe by Earl Phelps and Charlie Behrens, followed by a Highland fling by Carrie Orth, India King and Irving Bugain, and a whirlwind dance by Louise Kirby. The last scene was an interior, presenting Lizzie Rudd in a moonlight dance; Irene Burdin and Annie May O'Toole, belles of Spain; Raymond Jones in Smolenski; Virginia Walker and Katherine Shuey, Girofle-Girofla, and Helen Durim and Edward Gibbons in a sand Jig. A pickzninny band and a march by the school closed the program. Ne National Theater.— Mr. Charles Heyt's farce, “A Midnight Bell,” was given at the New National Theater last night by a company which includes the erstwhile comic opera comedian Digby Bell and his wife, Laura Joyce Bell. These well-known and popular artists have adapted them- selves to this style of entertainment with distinct success. Indeed, it would seem that Mr. Bell has squandered much valu- able time In efforts which came under the general classification of comic opera, when he might have been enjoying the tangible rewards which attach to a suecessful career in the Hoytesque drama. A number of new faces appear In the lively skit, and the company maintains a high average as to singing, dancing and other accomplish- ments which entertain. Academy of Music.—There wasn't a great display of a very high order of dramatic merti at the Academy last night, but there was a very great display of vociferous ap- lause and gallery gratitude. The play was ‘A Romance of Coon Hollow; a Love Story of the South,” and while there was a great deal of love story, with very intense love, the story was rather too theoretic to be beautiful. The first act closed by an at- tack on the heroine by a raurderer and her rescue by herself by ringing the farm beil With her head in the rope; the second act elo: with the bursting of a im and the saving of hero and heroine by swinging across the foaming waters in a grape vine swing, shot loose by the hero; the third closed by a steamboat race on the Missis- s'ppl, and the murder was the death of the villain in a cotton compress, which was turned on by the villainess, who “had it in” for the hero, and put the wrong man to press. She then dropped dead, amid wild applat n went down. The Miss Jizzie Evans, M ntje, Miss McGregor, Gerald Ander- son, W. Murray, Harry F. ums and others. In- cidental to the play was the singing of the Calliope Quartet of colored singers, and the dancing and general hullaballoo of a lot of pickaninnies. ‘Coon Hollow” is a lively play for those who like the startling and Intenze, Lectures on California.—The first of fer: of three lectures on California w delivered in AN Souls’ Church last eve!

Mozart Chorus Club.—The concert this evening at the Ninth Street Protestant Chureh, given under the auspices of the Ladies’ Ald Society of the church by th Mozart Chorus Club, promises to be a very enjoyable event. Among those who will take part are Mrs. Weber and Mr. Hunte in a duet, Messrs. Hunter, Speidel and Mar- tin In a trio, Miss Alice Irwin and Miss Storm in recitations. Miss Melson will sing, as will Mr. N. P. Barnes, a quartet consisting of Miss Cole, Miss Miller and Mr. Dodge and Mr. Van Doren, and a trio comprising Mrs. Weber, Miss Storm Miss Peggensee. The Mozart Chorus Club will render a number of selections, and re- freshments will be served by the Ladie: Ald Society at the close of the entertain- ment. ———— Spruce Laths, $2.25 Per 1,000.
