PREPARATIONS -FOR LABOR DAY Contractor Saxton’s Policy Toward Union Pavers. VARIOUS LABOR MATTERS ee ‘The meeting last evening of the Central Labor Union was very largely attended, and, as usual, the proceedings were inter- esting. President Milford Spohn presided, and Mr. Joseph F. Torrens was secretary. ‘The leading feature of the meeting was the presentation of a paper from the Pavers’ Protective Union and the consequent dis- cussion which it caused. The communica- tion, which was addressed to the Central Labor Union, was as follows: “We would respectfully call your atten- tion to these facts, In reference to the ac- tion of the District Commissioners in re- ducing the wages of the city pavers: Reduction of Wages. “Prior to July 1, 1894, the wages of pav- ers on all kinds of work were $3.25 per day, but on that date the superintendent, Henry Moss, notified the pavers that in future the wages would be $3 per day. As such a cut did not amount to much, the pavers accéded to it; but when, on the Ist day of January, 1896, the same gentleman in- formed the pavers of a further reduction of $1.25, making paving wages $1.75, the pav- ers vigorously protested. “The District foremen then substituted unskilled laborers, to the serious detriment of skilled pavers. “We would also call your attention to the practice of the District Commissioners ‘subbing’ contracts for paving from other contractors, as-the work can be done more cheaply by the city than by the contrac- t ‘The very simple reason for this is to be found in the fact that if the contractors did the work themselves they would be held in check by the five years’ repair clause which is inserted in all District con- tracts. Again, if contractors themselves did the work, they would be compelled by a District Inspector to do first-class work, which can only be done by skilled work- men, whereas the District has it done by laborers at laborers’ wages. “We would further call your attention to the case of a man who is safd to hold sub- contracts from the Barber Asphalt Com- pany and the Cranford Paving Company, is said to be working non-union Action Taken. A resolution was adopted by a unanimous vote requesting the legislative committee to call on the District Commissioners today and request the latter to at once restore the wages of the pavers to the figure that was paid prior to the last reduction, namely, $3 per day; also to ask that the practice of having granite curbing to be used in Dis- trict work cut In Georgia. be stopped with- out rurther delay, und aiso that the con- struction of the new public school building at Langdon, for which an appropriation was made by Congress at the last session, be commenced as soon as possibi ‘The delegates from the Pavers’ Unien re- 1 that after a very patient and ex- ¢ examination of the whole subject they had become convinced that Contractor Saxton, who has been requested on several occasions to do so, Would not employ union , and that when Mr. Suxton was que: as to his reasons for adopting U he stated that it was because he hat been very badly treated by members of the Pavers’ Union of Baltimore. when he was filling some contracts in that city, but what the treatment consisted of Mr. Saxton did not state.

On motion of Delegate Silver of the granite cutters the chair appointed Messrs. Hughes, McCrink, Lynch, Miller and Owens a committee to visit alk the business men in the city in order to ascertain which of them are and which are not selliug the products of union labor. The delegates from the electrical workers reported that they had received a commun- ication from the local union of the brother- hood in Baltimore in reply to a letter from them on the subject, stating that the Bal- timere men would do all in their power to prevent the empisyment of non-union elec- tricians on the power house of the Coium- bia and Maryland Electric Railway Com- pany at Lakeland, aud the securing of the cmaployment of union men thereon. Delegate MeCrink of jhe contract com- mittee reported that in his opinion the members of the Central Labor Union were being boycotted by a large dry goods house on Pennsylvania avenue, and it was understood the matier would be looked in- to. A delegate from the Musical Union re- ported that a rumor was in circulation that the band, which is under the leadership of Prof. Weber, organizer for the Central Laber Union, is a non-union organization, Lut Delegate Miller stated that Prof. Web- er, when asked concerning the matter, stated that his band was union through- out, and that the report which was pub- lished in a morning paper was incorrect. It was further stated that a committee from the Musical Union would call on the manager of the paper referred to and ask that a retraction be also published. At the request of a delegate from the Engineers’ Un‘on a special committee was appointed to call on a large manufacturing in Washington and inform the anager that the Central Labor an Engineers’ Union affillated Labor Day Parade. The delegates from the Bricklayers’ and Electrical Unions reported progress In mak- ing arrangements for participating in the Labor day parade. The delegates from Columbia Typograph- ical Union stated that the union decided not to parade on Labor day, but they hoped to be able to make a different report after the next meeting of Columbia Union. The barbers reported that their union would parade on Labor day, also that there were now none but journeymen in the or- ganization, the bosses having all withdrawn in order to comply with the law of the na- tional organization on the subject. The brewers reported the receipt of a let- ter from Secretary Kursenknabe of the National Brewery Workers’ Association, stating that their action in forming a local branch of the order, to be known as Brew- ery Workers’ Union, No. 118, was approved by the national executive board.

SALVATIONISTS IN CAMP. Interesting Scenes of Worship Washington Grove. Correspondence of The Evening Star. WASHINGTON GROVE, August 18, 1806. Yesterday throughout was full of thrill- ing incidents In the Salvation Army camp, with 2 remarkably and unusually large at- tendance for Monday. In response to a discouraging telegram, Censul Booth-Tucker had sped away dur- ing the night to the bedside of her babe in New York, and the camp was early wide awake and agog with expectation of the arrival of Commander Booth-Tucker by the morning express, and Major Milan was delegated to mect him. While waiting at the station a circle of curious smail boys formed about the major, asking concerning his boyhood in Italy. To all questions he replied brightly and entertained the young- sters until the wkistle announced the ap- proaching train, when he dropped on his knees and poured forth an earnest prayer for the blessing of heaven upon those boys | which t will never forget. Instead of the commander, who is seriously Indisposed and unable to travel, came Commisstoner Higgias, direct from his bedside, hearing his heartfelt regrets. Monday 1s ordinarily an off day in at- tendance and a rest day for the country folks, but a large and representative gath- ering completely lmned the boulevard in the evening, when was formed the most unique and brilliant parade ever seen by the fre- quenters of the Grove. It was a striking and beautiful sight, with the moonlight flocding the lanes and environs, and the woman's brigade, headed by Staff Captain Cox, who is an accomplished equestrian, superbly mounted. The Salvation wago! ette was enveloped in national flags. Seat- ed within was a red-coated band, who sang out the catchy army songs as the proces- sion wended its way through the encamp- ment to the circle, where the dedicatory service was held. Colonel Higgins presided, and in an effective speech introduced the brigade to the audience as they were drawn up in Picturesque file on the rostrum. Brigadier Evans offered a fervent prayer, commend- ing the corps and their equipage to the Heavenly Father's care and guidance in their missionary tour. Colonel Higgins then delivered the charge, and after a short revival service the audience was dismissed and the Salva- tion brigade dispersed to barracks. It was @ wonderful service and everybody had a glorious good time. Mrs. John Denham, who has been spend- ing the last fortnight here, returned to Washington last evening. Mr. Percy Foster and family are in at- tendance on the Salvation camp, and are domiciled at Hamline cottage. State's Attorney Alex.
