Mass Meeting Under Auspices of Carpenters. Editor of The Tribune. Sir The caipenters of tho city, havo arrived at the conclusion that the tlmo has come when they must do something and do it ot once, if they Intend ever to better their condition in this city, their condition today being something to bo de plored. What with tho lorgs number of their craft In tho city and tho deplorablo state of the building trade, there are largo numbers of them on tho verge of btarva tion, and those who nre working are only making living wages, having lrtually rc coived a i eduction In their wages of from 25 to 30 cents per day during tho last eigh teen months. This condition of affairs has been large ly brought about by Indiscriminate com petition ot tho contractors, who bid so low that It is Impossible to pay living wages and make any piofit; therefore In order to save themselves, they tako ad vantage of the poverty of tho men and compel them to work for wages that would not bo accepted even in poverty stricken Europe. There are instances where men who havo been used to getting $2 3i' to $3 prr daj havo applied to the same bosses for employment and they have met with tho answer that they might start In a day or two, piovlded they would work for $2 per day as he (tho boss) can get all the men he needs at that figure; and 1 am soriy to have to ray that he tells the truth, be causo the poor fellow either has to tako It or seo his family staive. There is no reason whatever thit wages should be cut In this manner. Because thnci) are bad, is It any reason that the bo-ssesshouVl do all In their powei to make thorn worse? Why should any man tako advantage of his fellows poverty to en rich himself Again In nearly every In stanto the better paid men are (vvhero it is possible to do without them) laid off and cheaper men hired in their places. This Is discriminating against tho first-class mochenle in favor of the men who hardly know how to kep their tools in woTklng order. Indeed, It is a fact lint a great many of them don't know tho namc3 ot tho tools they aro using. The city is full of Just such men, and I am afraid I shall have to lay part of the course of this state of affairs at our newspapers' doors; but at tho samo tlmo we may take a largo part of tho blame upon ourselves, as wo should see to it that the newspapers of tho clt wero better Informed upon tho subject. What Is complained of Is this- Tho build- Ing Inspector's report for last month, Tor Instance, snontd building permU to the amount of $03,000 or thereabout. This is the actual cost of tho work complete, and the newspapers In commenting upon this say that while other sections of tho country aro bewailing the deplorable state of trade, Scranton is keeping well to tho front; In fact, giving out the dea that trade is Dooming here. Now as everybody knows Scranton nowspapers aro as wide 1 yread as any In the country, and the ojt sder upon reading this will say to his fcl. lows,, "What Is tho uso in staying heio and starvo whllo things aro booming in Scranton?" And to Scranton they come. For what? Either to cut down tho wages of tho aheady-crovvded homo mechanic, or walk the streets and starve with tho lest of them. Now, tako this $03,000 and comparo it with the amount of money that would be required to pay tho men employed In the building trades ono month's pay, should they all work full tlmo There aro 2,200 men employed, distributed as follows, show Ing their rato per day and the amount required for ono mouth of twenty-six working days: 1,000 Carpenters, at $?!5 $58,500 00 200 Bricklayers at $3 23 16,00 00 75 tinners at $2.25 4.3S7 00 100 Plumbers at $2.50 e coo oo J 123 Plasterers at $.7B , 7,537 50 150 Masons at $2.75 10.72j 00 300 Laborers at 11.60 11.700 00 CO .Electricians at J200 2,0 00 200 Palntor lO.JOOM 2,200 Men, wages for one month.. $129,309 M (Tho wages nuotcd are nbovo tho aver age paid,) Here you will find that it will tako ! 3;d &0 to pay tho men ono month's wages. Now deduct tho cost of tho material from tho fi5,0u0 dollars Quoted In tho building Inspector's report nnd you will find you havo from $12,000 to $18,000 left. Compare these figures with tho abovo total nnd you can form your own opinion as to tho state of the building trado In Scranton. I would like to sny that there are a few contractors in tho city who are doing their best to keep up prices and do the fair thing by their men, but they find this Impossible, as there are others who bid so recklessly that it Is imposslblo to compete with them. Yet these men sometimes make a protlt, and this Is done by sclmp ing tho work by not giving their men time to do a good Job. and cutting down their wage roll to tho starvation point. They will figure remodeling at tho samo rate they vvouil now work, not making nl lowanco for taking down tho old, and I can assure you this wcrk often takes moro tlmo than tho original Job. I havo in my mind a remodeling Job that was done lately in the central part of tho city where tho lowest bid (and succes.ful one) was In tho neighborhood of $1,000; tho next low est was $2,200; tho next $2,3CO, and so on. Now, slnco tho completion ot tho work, eight-or ten of tho best mechanics In tho city havo nt different times carefully es timated tho cost of tho work complete, an r they find that the lowest cost of ma terial alono would amount to $1,530, and the labor could not be dono for less than $300, maklrg n total cost of $2,030. And et, becacso In tho face of this they can not make anything out of tho Job, they discharge tho men employed on It becnura they did not inako It pay. Yot the men employed were among tho best mechanics In tho city, tho foreman especially (who had to go with the rest) being conceded by all that know him to bo about as good ns they make them. Can any one tell me why, unJor theso circumstances, tho men employed In tho building trade should be other than dis satisfied? This stale of affairs don't ap ply to carpenters alone; it affects all en gaged alike. At tho mass meeting to be held at Davis' theater tomorrow evening under tho nlisplcea of Carpenters' union, No. 0C3, theso matters will bo thoroughly dlBeu;sed, and tho carpenters most earn estly Invite nil tho buslnes men of tho city to bo there and hear our ldo of the question. I am sure when they leavo they will bo convince! that we havo great cause for complant.

TWO DIVORCES ASKED. Mrs. George V. Shnnley and Mrs. Ches ter M. Butts Arc the Applicants. Grounds tor the Proceedings. If all, or even a good part, of what his wife .says Is tiue, George W. Shan ley, of thlfa city and sometimes of Bradford, Is, to say the? least, a very capacious lover, cherisher and piotec t r. Mrs. Shanley, through her attorney, Jchn F. Scrngg, yesterday began a bult in dlvoicc against her husband and one of tho allegations she makes is that ho is leading a double life. Rhanley is a printer and worked In this rllv until a yd aro when he went away to seek work. He secured a position in Bradfoid and until a few weeks ago Mrs. Shanley supposed ho was still there, though little or no communication passed between him. That ho had left for other parts and, further, that h was not truo to tho marital vow ho hus made, was reveal ed to Mrs. Shanley by a letter which camo addressed to her absent husband, last month. She opened it and was startled to find tha' the writer waf, from the tenor of the letter's contents the wife of Shan ley. It spuke about their homo and the furniture and how happily they had lived together and how he had promised to htny home after they had started housekeeping and refrain fiom his custom of goinc to other parts ot tho country to work and nil In all was Ju&t such a letter as a wife would write to a recreant husband. Mr, Shanley made Inquiries imme diately and her discoveries bore out what the letter indicated. Thereupon &he decided she would rid herself of her unfaithful spouse and retained At torney scragg to institulo proceedings in dlvoicc. The paper in the suit were filed yes terday with Prothonotary Pryor. They show that the Shanleys were married Jan. 18, 18J2, and lived together until November, 180C.

Way tho Work ot Dccornting tho Craves of tho Departed Has llccn Apportioned Between tho Two Posts. The following order with reference to Memorial Day has been Issued by A. B. Stevens, commander of Lleutcu nnt Ezra S. Grillln post, Grand Army of the Republic. Comrades: Approaching Memorial Day reminds us of our duties to our belovtd dead. Let us ns Is most fitting unlto In making the solemn sen Ices of Memorial Day as impresslvo as possible by ap propriate exercises, and wo Invito to our assistance in this patriotic work that noblo band of workers, tho Women's Be lief corps, who havo dono so much to ward tho success of our great organi zation; nnd also tho Sons of Veterans, who must soon take up the work which tho ravages of tlmo shall compel us to lay down. Comrades, ns we grow older, let us bo more particular In tho observanco ot this sacred day, nnd let us discourago tho holding of games nnd frivolous nmuse ments thereon by thoughtless people in every posslblo way. In tho words of the lamented Logan, "If other eyes grow dull, nnd other hands slack, and others grow cold In the solemn trust, ours Bhnll keep It as long as the light and wramth of llfo re main to us." IT'S MEMORIAL DAY. Earnest attention Is called to the fact that tho day we observe is Memoilal Day and not Decoration Day. The lat ter term is frequently and always wrongfully applied. Tho press, the gen eral publlo nnd our comrades nre urged to lie Improssed with tho fact that Me morial Day Is not only tho proper title, but that any other name is a misnomer and absolutely wrong. Lot us so observe this day of ours tills day of America's people that no reproach may como to ourselves and no indlfferenco to tho deeds of our noble dead. Let us make place In our line for mili tary, civic, social and other oiganiza tlons; let every man and woman, boy and girl, accompany us, let us make our bervlccs so Interesting that nil tho peo ple will gladly go with us to pay tribute to those heroes who "died that tho Union might live."
