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.

PLAYWRIGHT AND MANAQER.
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.
