The em ployee refused and walked out. They were sion joined by many other em ployee, and Ihe failuie of the company to make terms itb the bands resulted in a shut down. Nearly 200 of the employes met Mon day and organized a branch ol the United Textile Workers of America. They elected the lollowing ouVers: C. W. Wainey, president ; James Brown, vice president; Michael Uleaxon, secretary; J.J. Howell, treasurer; Cieoige Mailey, guard. Another meeting was held Mon day evening and a conlerenee committee, appointed to see what terms could be made with the company, reported that no satisfactory terms could be arranged. The employes agreed to stand together. There ia no prwpect of an early settle ment. Both siiles appear lo i.o 8rm. President A K. J.tcubs, of the company, gave out the following statement for publication Tuesday: "In order that the public may be truly informed and not pass their judgment on a one-sided icport of the strike in our mills and Ihe caures that have lead thereto, we have concluded to make this statement. "In the first place wo dei-Ire to slate that the w ages we are piying are as high as, and in many cases higher than, those paid by other woolen mills, wbetnereant or west. Our help Lave always been courteously treated and we have never at any time taken or endeavored to take undue advantage of them. We have al ways tried to keep our plant in operation in bad times as well as good, regardless of profit, and onr mill has been running and furnishing steady employment year A further cause of complaint was Ihat the scale we were paying on a ceMain weave of cagimeres did not enable the weavers to earn as much as on other weaves, and to further emphasize their demands, they wauled lc per yard ad vance straight through on everything, in addition to the above, or an inciea&e av eraging fully 20 per cent. We offered to meet their views regarding the two loom proposition and agreed not to enforce this, leaving it optional with the weaver. As to the class of casaimeres on which they claim the weave is not profitable, we offered to change the weave so that it will be on the same basis as the balance of the cassimeres. We refused their demand, however, for an increase of lc per yard, as we positively cannot afford to pay the increase. Ol course, some weavers cannot make as much money as others, but it is through no fault of ours, as competent and skillful workmen all make good pay. "Following up this demand of the weavers, the help in nearly every other department of the mill demanded a flat tin'iease of 25c per day for each individ ual, regardless of size, ability, or capac- ! ity, or amount ot waties they were previ ously receiving, which demand is en tirely unreasonable, and we cannot even consider it. "It is true we have been tunning night and day in order to enable us to hold or ders by the prompt delivery of sample pieces to the clothiers, for if the cloth iers do not get their sample pieces on time, the balance of the orders naturally are cancelled. Tj this end we not only bave been running day and night, but (Continued on page 7.) Washington, April 23, 1902 There is no more spectacular city than thia national capital of ours. The ancieuta made great capitals, like Koine ami Athens. Babylon and Ninevah, when ihe empires they represented bad world wide sway and tbe c nioion people were serfs or slaves, but our cxpital repreeenta. a free iieople, its splendor shows not only the wealth and power of the people but their devotion to national develop ment. Home had its splendid precincts, but Washington was laid out to be in all respects a great capital. It was loii called the "City of Magnificent Dist ances," but is fast filliiig in and com pleted to carry out the original intention. The native woods, are replaced by magnificent city with wide streets, yet wider avenues, with frequent reserva tions; ti.ere is now being perfected a plan that will elaborate the two mile from the dome of the capitol to the Poto mac with beautiful grounds and public buildings that shall represent the greatness of the nation and ambition of its people. My borne is near the White Hou?e, only separated from it by La- faette Sq., perhaps the most beautiful of all the cily'a grounds. When Mar brings leaf and bloom it is delightful ; a yet its trees hardly show the loach of Spring, but beds of hyacinth have won- ders of bloom and fill Ihe air with the "scents of Araby." Within sight are other open iqnares, for Ihey exist in alt directions, with their beds of bloom that are replaced as the season advances. When hyacinths fade the bulbs are taken np and later bloom planted, and so through the season. It would make an interesting article to tell of the trees and flowers in Washington, for it iB not eveiy tree that can be adapted to the i est no tions of city life. The Chinese Exclusion Bill was de feated in the Senate by a large vote ; as I have intimated would be the fate of the Mitchell-Kahn Bill. The amendment offered by Senator Piatt, of Conn., re-enacting existing laws, passed with on nay vote.that of old man Hoar, of Mass. ,' w ho never geta beyond first principles. that all men are born equal. The ex treme measures of the Mitchell-Kahn Bill were detoaaded by the various labor organizations of California, that came here and staid here until the final vote was taken, all the time nagging and threatening, in fact bullying for extreme exclusion. They probably overdid it, but West Coast Congressmen saw the need of exclusion ; most of the others saw it also, but many honestly thooght there was danger in over doing it, of losing tbe trade and good will of China and of violating treaty obligations. Tbe Geary law has anewered very well ; we do not need to exclude any class but the com mon laborers who would interfere with our labor system, that is part of oar pro tection for tbe labor of our couutry. Wbiie they were about it, there is an immence influx of emigration from the lowest class of Southern Europe, Ihat is actually more objectionable than the Chinese laborer, whose great fault, has been that he could live and work too cheap.
