WASHINGTON LETTER.
(/♦'row our Regular (Correspondent.)
Washington, July ~7, 1903.
Editor Press:—
The people of the United States
did not require demonstration of
the fact that their President is en
tirely fearless or that he proposes
to administer the affairs of the
goverment with absolute justice,
regardless of his own political for
tunes, but they have received it in
the courageous position assumed
by the President with regard to
the employment of union labor in
the various departments of the
goverment. The case of William
Miller, an assistant foreman of the
goverment printing office, called
forth from the President the enun
ciation of a policy which for fifty
years no president has dared pro
claim. This is to the effect that
no discrimination shall lie made
between union and 11011 -union
labor in the employ of the Govern
ment. Mr. Roosvelt cites the
decision of the Anthracite Coal
Strike Commission in support of
his decision, the commission having
decided that men in the coalmines
must not be discriminated against
because they were not members of
a union.
Miller was dismissed by the Pub
lic Printer because he had been ex
pelled from the Bookbinder's
Union. Miller's crime was an at
tempt to save money for the gov
ernment by insisting 011 the per
formance of more work than the
union permitted his subordinates
to do. It must be understood that
the Bookbinder's Union in Wash
ington precribed a limit to the
amount of work which each man
shall perform in a day. Finally,
when Miller refused to the dicta
tion of the union, he was expelled
from its membership and immed
iately discharged by the Public
Printer for that reason, proceeding
which Mr. Roosevelt characterizes
as lacking in' 'elementary decency."
The President promptly ordered
Miller reinstated. This has been
done. The bookbinders have now
filed charges vriiii the Public Print
er which they believe will
prove ample to -warrant Miller's
discharge but they have also is
sued a statement to the effect that
they cannot work in the office
with Miller but will be compelled
to strike if he is retained in his pre
sent position. The unfortunate
part of the situation is that the
constitution of the union conflicts
with the laws of the United States
so that if the Public Printer should
not find ground for discharging
Miller he could not, according
to law, dismiss him and the bind
ers, according to the laws of their
union, could not remain. If,
again, the binders were to strike,
they would be conspiring against
the government and could 11 ever
be reinstated without a change of
the United States statutes by Con
gress. What the outcome of this
peculiar situation will be it is im
possible to predict. 111 several
similar instances previous Presi
dents have dodged the issue and
now that President lioos»velt has
met it squarely there are many
who believe it will not cost him
the sensible labor vote of the coun
try. The Government is still a
little bigger than any union,
whether of capital, or of labor, and
sensible capitalists and laborers
will see that it stays bigger.
Mr. Gould on Prosperity.
To those who facy that the ticker
taps out the fates of industry a
reading of the Pittsburg interview
with George Gould is to be com
mended. After an extended ob
servation tour of the far and nearer
west, Mr. Gould announces that
projected improvements in sight
will keep the coal, coke and steel
industries bnsy for several years.
It is only by traveling over the
country, continues Mr. Gouid, that
one realizes the vast amount of
construction work in sight. And
he concludes: "I cannot agree
with the financiers who believe
that the nation has reached its
zenith of prosperity and that the
fiscal year just ended marks the
highest tide of our prosperity."
Mr. Gould speaks only of railroad
work, but in other lines in electric
traction, in rebuilding the office

Theatrical Pay Days.
Every legitimate theater In Nevr
York'has two p:ty days—union and non
union. The union employees, wliich In
clude tlie men in the orchestra, the
stage hands, property men and stage
carpenters, are paid, as their union reg
Hlfltion.'; demand, on Satuydny night.
The actors, who have no union, are not
paid until Tuesday, although their week
ends on Saturday with the night's per
formance. Their salaries ore held up
two days merely to Insure their reap
pearance at the theater on Monday.
If the company were paid off on Sat
urdny night unreliable or disaffected
members of the organization might not
show up on Monday for rehearsal or
the evening performance, thus weaken
ing the production, but if the week's
salary is held back they are reasonably
sure to report on Monday in order not
to lose wliat is coming to them. Ac.
tors are distinctly temperamental nnd
capricious, nnd If a manager were to
pay off 011 Saturday night and there ex
isted any temporary dissatisfaction In
the company lie could never toll wheth
er he would have a-chorus with which
to open up the week on Monday even

The (IHKIII of Pyrofirrnphy.
About h century ago an artist named
Crouch was standing one day in front
of a Are In his home at Axminster.
Over the fireplace was an eaken man
telpiece, and it occurred to Cranch that
this expanse of wood might be im
proved by a little ornamentation. ■ He
picked up the poker, heated it red hot
and began to sketch in a bold design.
Tm- "vSuil Utai SO mucu
ho elaborated his work and began to at
tempt other ftre pictures on panels of
wood. These met with a ready sale,
and Cranch soon gave all his time to
his new art. This was the beginning of
what is now known as pyrograpliy.
The poker artist of today uses many
different shaped tools and has a special
furnace in which they are kept heated.
The art has been elaborated greatly.
The knrrts, curls and fillers of the wooil
are often worked into the design and
delieote tinting produced by scorching
Hie panel.
Care Fnr tho Talking? Ilaliit.
One part horse sense and two parts
of manly determination to keep still.
Mix well with an unlimited amount of
the best quality of thought. It is impos
sible for a woman to talk all the time
without saying a lot of things that she
shouldn't or without proving a jolly
bore to everybody about her. This tat
tling habflt is not confined entirely to
women, though. Some men have the
affliction terribly. Sometimes It's
wheat, sometimes It's chess, some
times it's baseball. A steady diet of
one kind conversation Is always tire
some. Take a nibble of this and a
nibble of that, and your chatter will be
more interesting, particularly if there
are plenty of rests between nibbles.
Talking improves when there's silence
by way of contrast.—Philadelphia In

Heaneat Trader* In the World.
There la a colony of Syrian merchants
In Kingston, the capital of Jamaica,
who could give cards and spades even
to the blaml Chinaman "for ways that
are dark and tricks that are vain."
They take one match out of every box
they sell until they have enough match
es to fill another lx>x and so make an
extra cent. They shave tiny flakes off
cakes of soap and boll tlieni down to
make other cakes. They put a thin
layer of molasses 011 the bottom of the
scoop with which they serve rk-e so
that a few grains will stick to the bot
tom. These are only a few of their
thousand tricks to turn a dishonest
penny. Without doubt they are th<>
meanest traders In the world.

A Sailor of nrayery.
What threatened to be one «112 tin*
worst disasters in the history of ship
ping was the burning of the Ocean
Monarch. The fire was discovered in
her fore hold an hour or two only after
she left the Mersey. There was a
strong biww, and she was headed for
the Welsh coast.
Ry tome unlucky accident an anchor
was dropped, and the big ship was
brought up all standing bend to the
wind. The flames cam* roaring aft,
whore COO passengers and crew wore
crowded.
A Brazilian frigate, a yacht and a
pilot boat were near, but they only at
tempted to pick up those who jumped
and swam. Suddenly up came an
American clipper and rounded into the
wind barely 200 yards -away. In her
first bont was Frederick Jerome, only
an able seaman, but one of the bravest
sonm*® that ever lived. In a flash his
boat was alongside the burning ship,
ami he climbed 011 deck amid the
scorch nnd smother. There he stayed
until the last soul of 000 was saved.
Ills clothes were on tire seven separate
times, and he was scorched almost be

or, rather, with the sun's equator. Tho

Ktli«»r Vibration*.
The effect of movements in tho ether
depends upon the rapidity of the vibra
tions producing them. The unit of
measurement for short waves in the
ether Is the blcron, which is about one
twenty-five millionth of an Inch. Waves
measuring 3NO to .S3O blcrons affect our
sense of sight, tho former number giv
ing violet and the latter red color. The
invisible rays, to which the actinic ami
Roentgen rays belong, are shorter and
have been measured as short as 100
blcrons. Ether waves longer than
those giving light give the feeling of
warmth. The longest heat waves are
eight times the length of those ot' the
red rays, or one three hundred and fif
tieth of an inch.
