sence was curtailed and he had to return

ments were hastened. Lieut. Coffin, U.S.N.,
of the steamer Alert, a brother of the
groom, was best man. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. D. 0. Kelley, the
chaplain at the Presidio, according to the
rites of the Episcopal Church. At its con
clusion those present partook of a wedding
breakfast. The bride was gowned in a
dark traveling dress and wore a hat to

Day Labor vs. Contract Labor.
To the liitor of 'The Evening Star:
I am very glad to observe that The Star
proposes to keep up its good fight for the
abolishment of contract labor, so far as
District work Is concerned. Contract la
bor Is unsatisfactory all around. It is det
rimental to mechanics who are masters of
their respective trades, because incompe
tent workmen' will ever underbid them. It
Is an injury to employers who take pride
'in their work, because in their determina
tion to turn out nothing but first-class
work they will hire none but first-class me
chanIcs-mechanics who demand, and de
serve, first-class wages. That fact shuts
them out from competing with those who
will bid low, expecting to come out even
by employing cheap labor and by slight
ing work wherever the vigilance of the
building Inspector may be evaded. It is an
injury to the fair fame of the city. For
what citizen of Washington can take pride
in exhibitIng almost any one of the public
buildings that have been erected in recent
years? The laborer is worthy of his hire,
and we have divine authority for that as
sertIon. Hence the very principle of con
tract work is wrong. To have work done
by the lowest bidder means to get the
cheapest labor, to use the cheapest mate
rial, to get a job done "somehow," so It
may serve for awhile. To do work by
day's labor means to employ a competent
superintendent, to use sound material, to
utilize the moat competent workmen to be
found. Who would not prefer the latter?
Surely the taxpayer, who in hIs own enter
prises finds that what is "cheap" is gen
erally dear in the end. Surely the mer
chant, who realises only too forcibly that
workingmen who receive low wages are
but indifferent consumers. Let us, then,
put a stop to the present contract siystem
at the earliest opportunity. It benefits no
one, and it injures many. A good begin
nIng has been made by the committee of
the Federation of Labor, and with the
continued assistance of the ever-relIable
Evening Star, let us hope that at the next
sessIon of Congress the end sought will be
accomplished. AUGUST DONATH.

yards. The two teams whose aggregates
lead will be awarded the transportaUon to
Sea Girt."
Company A of the Engineer Corps has, it
is understood, been shut out of the compe
tItion for the reason that the probabilities
point to there being eight or nine members
of that company on the brigade team; the
transportation of a team from Company A
will, therefore, be provided for in the
transportation of the brigade team.
