HE LET THE CAPITALISTS ALONE Mut Scolded tli u Workiiigmon for Not Taking .More Intercut In Their Own Hcttcrmont - Soma Hcmurlmlilc Jtrsnlts Tlint Orgnnlzcd Labor Una Accomplished Colonel I'ltzsim mons Presides at t tic Meeting. Addresses by Hon. C. lieu Johnson nnd Cnptniu Molr. At Davis' theater, last night, a mass meeting of carpenters was held under tho auspices of Branch C63, of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join ers, which was addressed by their most prominent member, P. J. McGuIre, of Philadelphia, who Is nnttonal secretary and treasurer and also first vice presi dent of the American Federation of Labor. The attendance was large. Colonel F. J. Fitzslmmons presided and made a brief opening address in his usual eloquent nnd effective style, and also a felicitous Introduction of the speaker of the evening. Mr. McGuIre shld he did not come here with a potent remedy for the Ills of the worklngmnn. He had rested from trying' to solve the labor question and was now bending his energies to effect the amelioration of their dis tressed condition that they mlEht In due time solve the. question for them selves. "I am not here tonight," he went on to say, "to find fault with the capital ist, but to reproaoh the worklngman for not Interesting himself tn his own betterment. Trades unions are be yond the conception of the worklng man.If this wok not so there would be more of them associated with the unions. Only eight per cent, of the la bor In this country Is organized. Tho other 92 per cent. Is either Ignorant of or Indifferent to the benefits of organ ization." As a p'roof of the benefits of organ ization, Mr. iMeGuIre contrasted the condition of various trades as they were twenty years ago and as they are today. In this city before the advent of the trades unions tho carpenters wero worklnrr ten hours a day for what ever wages they could get. Now they want nine hours and receive the rate of wages they demanded. The spin ners In New England through their strong organizations receive 30 per cent more wages than they did soime few years ago, while the weavers, who allowed their union to go to decay, through lack of Interest, have suffered such reductions In wages that they are now working for less than the weavers of Lancashire. MACHINISTS AN EXAMPLE. The machinists allowed their organ ization to go by default, but the re duction of their wages and other de moralizing results caused them In des peration to make a supreme effort to regain their lost prestige and power. The result Is that on June 1, 1S118, the machinists will make an effort to es tablish an eight hour day all over the country for men of their craft. Fewer hours of work, Mr. McGuIre argued, means employment for a great er number of people. If the 6,000,000 laboring men of this country would do less work, that Is have shorter work ing days there -would not be 3,000,000 worklngmen looking for- employment. If the two-thirds would work, a little less the one-thlid would be able to do something. He then went Into the causes of tho present dpploi'ablo condition of the worklngmen in this country. Among them he mentioned the importation of cheap labor and In discussing the Im migration question said tho Lodge bill was about tho proper solution of the difficulty. The depression in the carpenter trade he ascribed to tho general panlo from which the country Is Just recover ing and also to such particular causes as the substitution of Iron and steel for wood in the construction ot build ings; to the cheap labor factories of the West and Northwest which with the aid of labor saving machinery' do much that the carpenter was wont do, and to the Indifference of the carpen ters to their own Interests. Mr. McGuIre described the "hoaray" strike of olden times In a humorous way, and characterized it as the old trade-unionism. Tho watchword of the new unionism, he said, is "In times of peace prepare for war." The mod ern trades union, however, he said, was a resttalnt upon strikes and as a proof of this ho stated that in the early days, of the carpenters' union from $80,000 to $90,000 was spent in a year for the assistance of strikers, while last year strikes cost the union only $5,300. NUMBEIt OF TRADES UNIONISTS. There are now 800,000 men affiliated with trades unions or like organiza tions In this counU-y, he said. The car penters' union during the last three months has added 3,400 members to its rolls. He urged all carpenters to asso ciate themselves with the union. In addition to the protection acoorded labor, it has an insurance feature. A member who suffers total disability while In the pursuit of his trade re ceives $100. Sick benefits are paid and there is also a funeral fund, In concluding Mr. McGuIre urged the members to make a study of politics so that they might understand both sides and be ;able to choose between them. There was also brief addresses by Hon. C. Ben- Johnson and Captain James Molr; solos by Joshua Johns and Philip Thomas, apd a zither and guitar duet by 3Iessrs, Hoss and Freld erich. EPW0RTH LEAGUERS A1EET. Annual Convention of Ilia Wyoming District Societies.

Arc nt Dagger's Points Over tho Titlo The Ilcnrt of iUnrylund." Tho following letter was received yes terday: Cernegle Hall. N. Y May 20, 1S07. Dramatic Editor, Tribune, Scranton, Pa. Dear Sir:-The Elroy Stock company now In Scranton, have been announcing a version of an old French piny under the title "In tho Heart of Maryland." Tho use of this tltlo Is an Infringement on my property. Would esteem It a great favor If you will make mention of tho fact In your columns that the play Is not "Tho Heart of Maryland," which I trust 1 shall soon hnvo tho pleasure of presenting In Scranton wth my own company, and In the same manner as It was produced 230 nights In New York city last season. Vcurs truly, David Belasco. To this Mr. Elroy, of the Elroy Stock company, makes answer as follows: Editor of Tho Tribune. Sir: Relative to Mr. Belasco's letter re garding my play, "In the Heart ot Mary land," being anything like his U wrong. It Is not; and as for tho title, his ploy is called "The Heart of Maryland" and per tains to a woman's heart, while my play, "In the Heart of Maryland," treats en tirely of tho state of Maryland. I havo never seen his play and cannot comment on It, but If It Is similar to his other plays It Is a clever steal. I am honest enough to admit where I got my play, while Mr. Uelasco steals and gives none but Be lasco the credit. In his play, "The Girl I Left Behind Me," he deliberately stole Dion Bouel cault's old play. "Jessie Brown," and never gavo tho .rightful author credit for It. Oh, ho's a clever plagarlst, and no mistake; but beforo I get through with him, at least a few will know htm for what he Is worth. My play Is copyright ed and protected as much ns his, and I will seo that tho court will protect mo from the lying slander of this prince of lit erary pirates. I will be In New York next week and will begin suit at once for crim inal libel as well as damages done me by falsely representing me through the col umns of tho press. Edwin Elroy. VISITORS FROM THE CAPITAL. Laws .liny lln illndo in Ilarrlsburg, but Wc Interpret Them. John F. Kelper, II. A. Hooper and John K. Hoyal of tho board of tax ap peals and revision of the city of Har rlsburg; Charles A. Miller, city clerk and A, C. McKee, city treasurer, came here yesterday and consulted with our city hall people regarding the duties of the revision and appeals board, wh!"h has just been put In operation at the capital. They expressed the hope that an ap peal would be taken from Judge Ar?h bald's decision In the new assessment matter. It will not affect their city just now as they do not propose to distrust the triennial assessment. However they may some day desire to have a special assesment in an off year and would like to have their ap peals board empowered to order It made. The visitors stopped at the Jormyn during their stay. They left for home at noon, well pleased with their jaunt nnd filled with a deep admiration for our city. PASSED BY THE SENATE. Tnx Levy Hill Is Now in the Ilnuds of Governor. On May 11 the state's senate passed the bill allowing school districts of cities of the third class to levy tax on the valuation for city purposes. That Is the course pursued In this city, but tn Plttston, Hazleton and nearly all of the other cities of the third class the taxe3 are levied on county valua tion which Is more favorable to mining companies than the city valuation. In Plttston a 24 mill .tax Is now lev led for school purposes while a 10 mill tax would realize more money for the district If levied on the city valuation. In Hazleton the tax Is levied on the county valuation and if levied on the city valuation the Lehigh Valley com pany would have to pay $G,000 more than It does at present. There would bo a like difference in the amount of its taxes In Plttston and other places. Many other companies would be af fected in a similar manner and all ure consequently opposed to the new bill becoming a law. INVESTIGATION IS ENDED. .Mine Inquiry Commission Left the City Ycsterduy. The senators and representatives of the commission which Is conducting the mine inquiry .left for their several homes yesterday. No session was held In the morning as contemplated. The committee thought It had about all the Informa tion that could be gleaned here and as It has but ten days left In which to make up Its report, decided to take a recess In order to give the stenographer time to transcribe his notes.
