(Under thin heading short letters ot In terest will ba published when accompa nied, for publication, by the wrlter'i nnme. The Tribune will not bo held re sponsible for opinions here expreised. Replies to Mr. WilHnms. Editor of The Tribune. Sir: It was not my purpose In answer Ins Mr. Williams In yesterdays Tillmne to conllnui) what to mu seemed but 11 fiulllessdlseiisslun. lam pleased, however, that my letter has caused the gentleman to nt least read can fully the trudo rulos that huMi bi en In tho hands of the con ttactois uf this city for sexcr.il months. Mr. Williams Is correct In his sutmlso that the lltilldlng- Tunics Council Is united In enforcing- the demands ot the unions, mj lar as they have been macle. As to his "hope" concerning tin unfair ness of tho (iiuueil In allowing Mime to have the elnhtdiotu ta. and leaving the test to wotk nine, he need pass no sleep less nights. This Is n matter left en tirely In the hands of the lespeotlvo unions to (Hut take action on ttade rules, after which they are submitted to the tlullclln; Tntdes Council for Its approval. Since Mr. Willi. mis. In his rcconil let ter, U disposed to handle the question of ineicRbu tnlrlx, I m knowlulgo that tin actual Increase to cni pullers, Includ ing tho eight-hour featurn, is 2) per 1 1 lit. As to his talk ol the 'JO tents an hour man, I haus nollilnir to say except that If he had nnv of that nut of men woik ing lor him they are not niembets of the union, unci the samo process that ham mered them down to the low ptlce would prevent them fiom demanellng the 60 per tent. Intttahe which he claims, and Is un evidence of the advantages, -which he quote, ol being oiilslclo tht protec tion of the union. if Mr. Williams has a foii'man who feated to elo his diit falily between tho union woikmen and his employer, that foreman Is n moral coward, and was filled with an unwarranted dread of Insults which would never matetlallze I hae never yet seen a toicm.in who dealt fali ly between employer and employed who met insults at the hands of the union. Hut a fuicmun will meet with some re sistance who undertakes to discharge a man for adhering to union principle. Concerning the Wnuliier, Idaho, nftalr, I toilless that I am not In position to discuss the subject of what led up to the sad climax which Mr. Williams eiuotes. Hut If tho matter will sifted to the bottom. I sincerely believe that the an me orafty nmthods which Miggestn "arson and murder" to strikers In Scran ton, even bcloie tho sltlko Is an estab lished fact, weie practiced In lar away lilaho. And 1 lepeat that if any mill or shop is elcstioxcd ni a result of this strike, Insurance adjusters may look eWc wher than In tho ranks of laboi for tho Hie bug. Mr. Williams takes exceptions to what I said concerning the loss of wages pi lor to tho existence of n earpenteis' union. I know whereof I speak, and he need only go back to the period mentioned to look lor most convincing- evidence. If carpen lets had been propel ly organized 'Si years ago. and maintained the rights then .ic coitlfd them by law the mechanics' Hen law of l'ciinsvlvanla would never havo degeni rated Into a miserable fiuce, which It did, !z. : A law oiglnnlly grantlns labor tlalms precedence over all others, which, after passing thiough Its xailous evolutions, while labor slept unorganised, lluailv gae preei'denc to all other claims over that of the working man, and this at 1. time when man elld not "give away his rights as a irce-wlll agent." Is It. then, so stranga that wo make these gieat saeilllces of rights nnd git so "eiy little In ictuiii?" As to the sympathy which the gentle man so lavishly expends upon the fami lies of these foolish men. 1 would expns my silicon- thanks, were It not for the fact that his sympathy Is much like the fellow who llnds a friend who has fallen om r a pieilplce, and Is dangling at the mil of a 1 ope which he has grasped m his downward flight. The would-be bene factor tushes tu tho edge and calls down: "Ho. Jack, jou're In a bad hx down there, but I'll help you out;" then draws a keen edged knife across the rope, getting him out of his "bad fix" Jy dashing him down to death and destruction below. I hope tin- gentleman will cease his wony out the "lew who h.ie little to lost."

The union is pn-paied to imet the c -pciiMi of maintaining tlnm against want for an indetlnlto pulod, hencu thete is no necessity for Air.

Sir- in this moinlrg's Issue of Tho Tribune In an .illicit- Ugned by i;. S Williams, ,1 pen-plctuie is piesentid In the last two paiagraphs which, If me-, would be. nil too pleasing to sueli gen tium 11 who him on the same side ol the 1 iboi problem ns the subscilber to theartlile. To quote Ml Williams "lie that joins a laboi union gives away his lights as a tru-wlll agent and gtis etv little In letuin for It ' This would lead one to belli ve that a worknin.i, an Joining a union or his ciaft, does s, fr the sol. purpose of p.ifing a pci capita sum monthly meielv foi tin bein-llt of a lew IcaileiH who give hltn "llttli In it turn " Hut happily suih Is not the case. If 1 In building ti. ides weie not otguu Izcd today th -v Jwnilil be In ihe condition ot those In the "poorlv oiganlzed titles outside this i-glon, ' who nie loieed to woik lor that whleli ihelr masters wish to give them. 1 also fall tu sec tlm con sistency of Mr. Williams statement that "lit who Joins, a labor union gives awav his light as 11 fiee-wlll agent,' when it Is ioiisdeied lh.it he is ,1 member of the Itiillilcis' exchange, an oiganization that Is working to defeat the puipose uf the building tiades, to keep from their em Ploves that which ilghtlv belongs to tin 111, and also working an injiii v to tho general mertantlle interests of the city bv 11 fusing to comply with the Just te eniest of 1 heir woikmen. As ii-gards "pity for the families ot thu nun, etc.," I believe that It would be such as was bestowed upon pour Lass ams at the time ho was seated at tho rh h man' i gate, Ti ustlng that Mr. Williams will banish the in Hef that the majorltv of tho building trades are of the Judas l lasj, n ml to think better of labor otg.ml.a tlons as a whole, 1 bid him good night. Yours truly, J. J. Morgan Scrauten, May JO A WOMAN BURGLAR. tndlcations That Robberies Aro Be ing Committed by a Female.

War, however, has a new jiutposo wltn us, he argued.

Jasper Lacy, coloted, made a murder ous assault upon Fied Matthews, white, of IfiliS DIcks.011 avenue, at the coiner uf Pcnn avenue and Center street ut 2.30 p. m. yestonluy. It appears that they bad an an ex tended and heated argument on the night ptevlous In a Pcnn ave saloon. It Is alleged that on that occasion Matthews bulldozed Lacy and made certain statements that angered the latter. They met nt the place mentioned yes tot day and. aceotdlng to witnesses, Lacy resented the remniks that Mat thews had made the night before. This caused the latter to launch out a tor rent of Invective with the result that Lacy became suddenly enraged and, drawing a murelei cuts-looking knife, he made a Jab at Matthews. The weapon I'ottunately, only gashed bis coat and bystanders who Interfered prevented any further damage being done.

KINDERGARTEN HAS A COMMENCEMENT INTERESTING EXERCISES AT CENTRAL SEWING SCHOOL. Genuine "Last Dny" Entertainment Provided by the Little, Pupils Under the Dlicctlou of Miss Under wood, the Chief Klndergnitncr, Assisted by Miss Snntec Exhibi tion Was Very Creditnble Fine Discipline and Devoted Attention Were Notable Features. The free klndergat tens of the city und vicinity entry on their gracious work so quietly and unostentatiously that people In general seldom realize the beauty and brightness which thus enter many heatts and homes nnd which otherwise would bo unknown In eel tain ciowded, noisome localities. Tho Conti.il kindergarten, at the cor ner of Linden sticet and Penn avenue, Is pel haps the most interesting In many respects of all those which have been established in this region. It Is con ducted by Miss Undeiwood, the chief kludurpirtiier, assisted by Miss Santee. There are but few- nullonaltles which eliifttoourshoies thrft inn not be found represented In this kindcigarlen. There tiro tunny colored ehlldteu. Sevetal Slavs of different ellstilcts and lan gunge, while Italians and vnrlouB olher futelgnets limy be seen In tho 100ms each morning. About foui months ago it sewing bchool was established, which Is at tended by many of the larger members of the families in Its lclnity. ASSIST IN TUi: TEACHING. Seveial ladies interested In the free kindergarten work have devoted much time to teaching the little gills who In most cases have absolutely no other training In any of the gentler, more re fined details that enter Into a woman's life. Yestenlay was the "last day" of tho sew lug school, and it was devoted to genuine "last clay" entertainment. The wotk of the little people wns exhibited and it teally was most creditable. When Miss Undo! wood had called previously for olunteei.s to assist In the enter tainment a number of the glils enum erated their vailed accomplishments and their willingness to exploit the same, the icsult was snrpilslng and In some cases almost startling. Thoio were songs and lecltatlons and thepto gramme wns one that afforded delight ful enteitainment to the listenei-3 of larger gtowth. In part, it wns ns follows: lleclta tlons, Sarah Uorfmuu, Saiah Fin her, Charle3 Hower, Lorence Fuller; songs, Huttlc Johnson, Itta Hpsteln; ilecltn tlons, Anna Hlnerlleld, Florence Miller, Margareit Walter; song, Montejunla Smith. The delight of the children at tho tieat of ice cream and cake was some thing not often witnessed by the ladles who served. Afterward games were enjoyed for nn hour. The line disci pline and devoted attention were no ticeable features. The chlldl en soon learn that Miss Underwood never inlses her voice and that to hear her they must be exceedingly quiet. They love her dearly and obey her slightest com mand. INTERESTING INCIDENT.
