\ AN TWENTY-FIRST YEAR. EX-CONFEDS WANT T0 FICHT. If There is War With Ohili They Propose to Be in It. THAT'S WHAT HERBERT'S BILL MEANS of Hostilities Congress Will ¥ Disabilities ~Cab= 1d Next In Case bly Remove Thel Meetin Sunday—Tricy's Plans, New York, Jan, 15.—The Ilm'nl:l’l Wash- Ington specinl sn, It would be & ttle sin- gular if the existing Chilian complication should resultin the annulment of some of the past war logisladion now on our statute books, A little more than a year after the surrender at Appommatox, congress enacted & law which provided that no person who Lad served In the military, navy or civil service of the confederate states should be appointed to any position in the army of the United States. It now appears that a number of men who served with distinction with the confederate army have volunteered their services to the government i the event of war with Chili, Mr. Herbert of Alabama, himself an ex- confederato officer, yesterday offered a bill in the house removing this probibitive section. 1t is hardly probable that it will be favor- atiy acted upon unless actual hostilities re sult, In that case congress would probably pass the bill with little if any delay, in order that all classes of American citizens might be permittea to enroll themselves in defense of the national honor. § Becretary Tracy is gradually developing our naval resources. Thelatest move in this direction is to arrange for the co-operation of two vevenue cutters, the Corwin and the Rush, in case their services may be needed for either offensive or defensive purposes. Both vessels are now at San Francisco® ‘where they have gone into winter quarters. They are, however, in excellent condition and might with little difficulty be fitted out with -inch rapid firing guns, Their services ‘would be yery useful in time of war, for both are speedy light draught vescels which might be utilized in a number of ways. T also learn that orders went forward ves- terday that work on the dynsmite cruiser ‘Vesuvius %shali continue without cessation from this time until she shall be fully equipped for offensive purposes. The Vesu- vius is now at the New York yard. She is 1o be provided 8s quickly as possible with a torpedo outfit and a full complement of rapid firing guns in addition to her dynamite guns. When this work is finished she will prove to be a dangerous craft, and as such would be a yaluable auxiliary to our fleet in the south Pacifio. President Harrison has called a cabinot meating for next Sunday. It is contrary to s religious principles 1o perform any butre- ligious duties on the Sabbath, but he finds it 1mperative at the present time. On that day all the executive departments are closed and he can meet his constitutional advisers in the cabinet room of the white house and consult ‘with them in a formal way without fear of interruption. Thisis the only significance that the Sunday cabinet meeting will have. T'he gun foundry at tho navy yard in this city is a place of great activity just at pres- ent in the preparation of guns and shells. GETTING READY TO MOVE, The President Will Send Chilian Cor- respondence to Congress Next Week, Wasntseroy, D. C., Jan. 15.—The presi- dent today concluded his examination of the diplomatic correspondence in the Chilian controversy and sent the document buck to tne State department. At vhe cabinet meet- ing today he announced this factand indi- cated that the next step in the case wiil not loug be delayed. The whole matter was discussed in a general wa. but no action was taken, as there is nothing 10 be done until the correspondence is pub- lished. It is ascertained that the president will ac- ccmpany the correspondence by a message on the subject, defining the attitude of the ad- ministration. The expectation is that he will have the message ready s0 1t can be sub-* mitted to the cabinet at 1t meeting Tues- day next, and therefore it is thought the earlicst tims 1t can bo sent to congress will be Tuesday afternoon. Rushing Co i, Sax Fraxctsco, Cal., Jan. 15.—The collier, San Mateo, has been chartered to take coal from Nanaimo to Chili. The captain of the collier states that the United States govern- ment chartered the vessel and ordered him 1o rush his cargo through as rapidly as possi- ble. The vessel will leave here today. Pushing Work on Blg Guns, Trov, N, ¥., Jan. 15.—There 1s extraordi- nary activity in the Watervliet arsenal, the goverument gun foundry. Instructions have been recelved to rush all orders for big guns. "Phirteen eight-inch guns are now being fin- 1shed with the utmost speed, and a large number of gatling guns are under way. e ok WAR SPIRIT STILL EXISTS. Members of Congress Anxious to Consider the Subject Immediately, WasniNGToN BUREAC oF Tur Brr, 513 FOURTEENTH STRERT, } WasHiNaToy, | Jan. 15, A war spirit still prevails at the capital, Whenever the word Chili is mentioned toa member of either house of congress it almost nvariably eliwcits an expression ia favor of some step to force the Chilian government to ropair the wrongs she has committed at tho kands of her citizens and officers, It is ex- pected the president will trausmit to con- gress the correspondence had with Chili early 1 the week, surely by next Wednes- day or Thursday, and the leaaing mou in both houses in either party express a reaai- ness to gtve the correspondence prompt ac- tion, So littie is oficially known in congress of the real status of the controversy that much auxiety is being shown to receive the oMicial correspondence from the presideat. = Seoator Allison, who is chairmaa of the committee on appropriations and a member 0} the committee on finunce and also a con- suiting member of the committee on foreign relations, is one of the most cautious men In songress aud at whe same time oue of the ai0st influertial in questions of this chavac- ter, He was asked by Tae Bee correspond- nt this afternoon what he thought of the Chilian situation. *'1 can only answer that question,” sald he, by saylng that 1f a certain condition of af- fairs is reported correctly I would favor one {ine of action, and if the conditions are other- wise 1 would suggest another line of action, Weo must approach war under any condition »f circumstances very cautiously and by de- grees, Chill Must Act Fairly, +War must not be precipitated m a day. (f it is true that Chily has done uvothing to repair wrongs her citizens and officers pave committed and proposes nothing we rannot afford to stand idle, We must main- tain our diguity as well ss preserve the tives nd liberties of our citizens and soldiery in svery quarter of the earth or sea, and furs whermore if it is true us reported that Chili is imply deferring its final Answer till she can jecure possession of the new war vessel she s havizg wade 1w France, f\rnblhl)‘ sixty days hence, and that then she jutends to re- sew her insolent replies to the respectful de- mands of our governwent, we cannot afford 1o delay our action too long. 1 shall look forward to the correspondence which the State department had with Chili with great interest. 'Till then we can only sonjecture and predicate proper action uvon Juposed conditions.'” It is stated that ngress will have the cor- respondence with Chili within forty-eight uit of the Remy luvestiga- from Californis, If the Atatus of the case is shown oficlally 1o be as | two THE OmMAHA now understood in congress and by the pub- lie, President Havrison will not have long to wait in order to receive proper authority to tuke what stops may be deemed warranicd by the conditions to secure for the govern- wmont full reparation from Chili. Chairman Clarkson of the republi uonal committee, General Russell A, Alger tor W. B. Allison wero this morn- d futo the latter’s commities room at tho capitol for a couple of hours in pri- vate consultation and when ended a report was el ted that an understanding had been od as to tho campalgn for the republican presidential nomination. It was reported that Senutor Allison and General Alger had agreed to bold their individual ates und as much outside spport us pos- sible for delivery to one or the other of the who could command tho greater force and thus secure the nomination with the other's strength. It was al<o reported that General Alger Lad along conference with Mr. Blaine and told Mossrs Allison and Clarkson that ho was unable to got any intimation as to what Mr. Blaine intended doing respecting the use of his name in the Minneapolls couvention and that upon this report the compact of ailiance herein recited had been agreed upon. Not Inciined to o punicative, ne Bee correspondent found Senator Alison in his committee room during the afternoon and toid him the stories in circu- lation and asked bim yhat truth there was in them. The senator who was cunningly adroit finally replied, “Mr. Clarkson is one of my constituents and & close personal friend. General Alger is also a warm persoual friend of mine. It was but natural, being at the capital, they should come juto my commiitee room to talk. “And invite you into theirs to talk upon social matters of interest to themselves "’ “Oh, certainly,” replied the senator, good naturedly, and evasively adding, ud at the same timo they did not say anythiug abdut the presidential nomination.” Iv is said to be Geoeral Alger's plan to secure so many promises for the second choice vote from various aspirants that after the complimentary vote in ths convention he will be the leading candid: Kreiger Su Senators Manderson and Paddock were closeted together all this afternoon with bun- dlos of papers suficient 1n amount to fll a bushel basket. Tho pupers were principally applications for office and suggestions and protests regarding the same. Both senators looked tired after their three hours' session, a large portion of which was devoted toselecting the successor to Mr. Lundvall of the Neligh land office, The sen- ators tinully‘agreed upon Heury W. Kreiger who was most strongly endorsed by the lead- ing and working representatives of the dis- trict. ‘I'here was considerable discussion regarding tho Nesbitt succassion in the North Platte district. The republicans of the county seewn very much divided in their proferences and the senators scemed to think 1t best to let them got together aud agreoe if possible on a candidate who will be generally acceptable. ‘om Patterson has a large following, but so have several others and the delegation does not seem anxious to make what might scem an’ invidious distinction if they can help doing so. Other Nebraska Appolntments, Political considerations will be carefully cauvassed this year in all appointmeats made, the questions of thejcandidate’s repub- licanism being the prime test. The Indianola pension board difficulty which has been pending for some time was also settled by the selection of Dr.J. E. Hothorn Bartler, Red Willow county. Representative Richardson of the joint comimitee on printing is anxious today ‘that Senator Mandersoa shall take vp the fight for printing reform first in the senate, The sen- ator expects to lead thedebate on his bill next week. The force for the Nebraska City packing house inspection corps was appointed today v Secretary Rusk at the recommendation of Senator Paddock and will he constituted as follows: Tagger of meats, Charles Brandtz; assistant microscopists, Gertrude van Meter, Rose von Steucben, Louisa K. Watson and Mary A. Price. The secretary declinad to make any appointment of clerks on account of the low state of the appropriation. He has temporarily detailea an inspector from South Omaba to organize the work at Ne- braska City. Tho senator has urged an jncrease in the salary of Dr. Hewitson, chief microscopist at South Omaha, who is considered by the de- partment as perhaps the most accomphshed microscopist in the whole inspection corps. Miscellu Inspector Forbes of the bureau of animal industry bas joined in the recommendation, The commissioner of the general land oftice notified Senator Paddock today that his ap- plication for a ¢lerk at the Siduey land office at $75 a month from January 1892, ‘had been allowed.

Objector Holman's Resolutions Passed by the House of Reprosentatives, | SOME LITTLE DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION, Congressman Boutelle Pays a Tribute to a New York Woman's Putriotism—Reed Causes Another Smile—Yesters day's Work i Wasnixaroy, D. C., Jan, 15, representatives of the Fifty-second congress has declared its emphatic hostility to subsi- dies, boundaries and land grants and pro- vounced in favor of rigid retrenchment n the appropriations of the government. The Hoiman resolution in its entivety was tod finally adonted by the house, but not until after its author had conseuted that it should bo futerproted in a sense ‘‘broad enough to permit any and all appropriate and legiti- mate legislation.” The advocates of the World’s fair appropriation are tonight find- ing great comfort In this interpretation, and even the friends of the mail steamship sub sidies and sugar bounty maintain that the pledge of tho government having been onco passod, appropriations to fulfill those obliga- tions are but ‘‘appropriate aud legitimate legislation.” When the resolutions woro reached in the order of unfinished businoss 1t was generally expected that Mr, Holman, wbo had himself yesterday entered a motion for the recon- sideration of the order for the previous ques- tion, woula consent to an amendment modi- fying the sweeping character of the second resolution. But the chairman of the appro- priations committee surprised all but a few of hisjconfidants by refusing to do auything of the kind. Holman Reconsiders His Action, “Mr. Speaker,” said Mr. Holman, ‘last evoning I entered a motion to roconsider the vote by which the provious question had been ordered. On refiection I desivo, if I am 80 authorized under the rules, to withdraw that motion.”” % *“Ihut can only ho done by unanimous con- sent,” said the speakor. ““Then I ask for unanimous consent,” said Mr. Holman, and no one objecting, his mo- tion was withdrawn, “Upon a careful examination of the second resolution,” resumed Mr. Holman, ‘‘and after consulting with gentlemen whose judg- ments are enuitled to great respect, I have reached the conclusion, for mysell at least, that the resolution is broad enongh to per- mit any and all appropriate and legitimate legislation.”” “Like the Chicago fair, for instance?” in- quired Mr. Reed. &L:\ugmur.| To this query Mr. Holman returned no answer. +As I sald,” resumed Mr. Holman, it is, T think, broad enough to cover all appropriate and lezitimate legislation, including. ail the logislation like private pension bills ana the like, as they all belong to departments of the government. The threo great departinents of the government cover the whole field of govornwental administratiou.’” *T would like to vote for the first resolu- but not for the second,” said Mr. of lowa. “I ask that it be tion, Henderson divided.” The speaker pro tem. decided that the reso- lution could e divided. Adopted the Resolutlon, Mr. Holman withdrew the motion, and the question was taken on the first resolu- tion, relating to subsidies. It was adopted— yeas, 227; nays, 41, The question was then taken on the sec- ond resolution, Mr. Lynch of Wiscousin making a vain effort to present a substi- tute, This referred to appropriations by congress. It was agreod to—yeas, 164; nays, 95. Upon the second resolution the following members voted in the negative: Messrs, Amerman, Atkinson, Bartine, Belknap, Beltznoover, Hergen, Bingham, Boutelle, Bowers, Broderick, Brosius, Burrows, Bush- nell, Caldwell, Chipman, Clark of Wyomiug, Coolidge, Crosby, Curtis, Cutting, Dalzell, Davis, Dingley, Dixon, Doan, Doliiver, Eng- lish, Bnochs, Flick, Funsion, Geary, Gil- iespie.

After the adoption of these resolutions the house took up for consideration the report of the committee on accounts, assigning clerks to the various committees of the house, and a discussion ensued us to whether there was not extravagance in these assignments. Mr. Dickerson, Kentucky, quoted statistics to show that there was undue expendituro in this respect and favored the minority re- port cutting off several of these clerks. In advocating the report of the commitree Mr. Cooper of Indiana incidentally referred to the investigation of the pension oftice dur- ing the last congress, and said that since that iuvestigation there had come to be known that Commissioner Raum’s son had sold places in the pension bureau and for that offense had been removed by the secretary of the interior. Messrs. Boatner of Louisiana, Moses of Indiana, Snow of Illinois, Wise of Virginia and Cummings of New York favored the majority report of the committee, and Mr. Mansur of Missouri favored the minority report, Likened to O1d Squeers, Mr. Boutelle of Maine began an amusing speech on the situation by exclaiming: *‘What a comical old humbug the democratio party is." Year after year, ho said, congress after congress, there hud been the same old tune on one string, He had sat here yester- day und looked upon the remarkable spoctacle presented by tho gentleman from Indians, Mr. Holman, who administgred to the brethren around him in allopathic doses the - medicine of retrenchment and veform. Ihere was something fa- miliar about it and he had tried to recall what it was. He had at last been able to doso. History was repeating itself. The performance was simply a repetition of the portrait made by Dickens and the caricature of Cruikshank who had depicted the famous event when Mrs. Squeers gathered his pupils about him and administerea to them with & long spoon their dose of retrenchment and reform in the shape of briwmstone and treacle for the purpose of breaking down their appe- tite and saving provisions., [Laughter, | Now according to the pre-arranged form Mr. Pecksnfff arose und with the taffy in ore hand and un amendment in the other undertook to follow the great onward cause of retrenchment and reform, ‘L'heu the other friend the Rev. Chadband of Kentucky, re- ferring to Mr. Breckinridge, came in with “'Bless you my ohildren,” and pronounced his penediction. |Laughter. | One Patriotic Democrat, Mr. Boutelle then procceded to inveigh agaiost the democratic party for its lack of patriotism, saving that P ki sls i he had heard of only one patriotio remark being made by & democrat, and that was by a woman, He referred to the estimable wife of the present governor of the groaystaté of New York. ‘That lady on visiting the execu tive mansion, which for two terms had JBeen occupied by democratic bachelors, had in an wterview with & newspaper correspondent alluded 1o the necessity of refurnishine the house, She said on that occasion that it Wwas not necessary in order to put the gov ernor’s mansion 1o order to %u beyond the confines of the American repu \TURDAY MORNING, JANU on the republican side.| She had further sald that fn order fo'buy her daughter's troussean she had found Littid faducoment to ¥0 beyona the shops of Watarfown.

Mr. Boutolle, had spoken of Mrs, Squeers and of the fact that she had administered brimsione and treacls to the boys. If the gentleman had read tho story further he would remember that after A time tho students had overturned the ad- ministration and, taking the long spoon, compelled her to take the brimstone herself. That was exactly what_the people had done, Tywelve months ago thé republicans had compelled the democratic party to take brimstone and treacle, but ~the peo- ple had overturned tieir admims- tration and the democratic party was now giving brimstons to the republicans. Laughter.] He did not think it was_courteous in the gentleman from Maine, Mr. Boutelle, to read & newspaper in- terview with a lady whom he claimed for a friend, and who was the wife of the zovernor of New York But as he had done so, he should teil the house whero the last set of china bought for the whité house had come from, and whether it was not of foreign mau- ufacture. (Laughter on democratic side. Wanted to Flap His Wings. A vepublican member rising to a_point of order that Mr. Evloe was not addressing bimself to the question under consideration, Mr. Enlos expressed the hope that the pre siding officer would allow him to flap his wings a little.

Members of the house committee on rivers and harbors say that it is safg to assume that the river and harbor appropriation bill will be considerably less than that of the last con- gress and that no impravements will be recommended unless they are of exceptional merit. 3 To Investigate the Cénsus Bureau, Representative Alderson of West Virgima today introduced a reselution in the house to appoint a committee of seven members to in- vestigate certain chargos brought against tho management of the census office. A preamble to the resolution recites:that it has been charged tarough the columns of the public journals of the country ‘that the census bureau bas been wrongly-conducted under Superintendent Porter 1o tho state of New York and eisewhere in the interest of parti- sun politivs and not with the view of obtain- ing correct enumerations and other data, ana that the funds appropriated therofor were wantonly wasted and that' said bureau has been grossly mismanaged.

Avrangements for the Duke of Cla ¥ —Sympathy inal Muanning's S many Papers Down on McKinley, © Princess Ma or—( LCopyrighted 1892 by New York Assoclated Press.] Loxpoy, Jan, 15.—The decorous fiction that the whole nation is overwhelmed with wrief ut the death of the duke of Clarence recelved a startling denlal today in the pro- ceedings of the greatest workmen's union in England. The delegates to the miners’ feaeration, now holding their annual meeting at Stoke-on-Trent, weve apprised before as- sembling that their representatives in Parlia- men] desired that the federation should adopt a resolution of condolence. The strong democratic feeling known to suffuse the body made the proposal hazardous, but it was hoped that the delegates would not veuture to deviate from the general custom vy declar- ing that the death in the royal family was no particular business of theirs, This is ex- actly what they did. A telegram from their parilamentary leader, Mr. Pickard, himself {ll with mnfiu- enza, asked for a vote of sympathy with tho royal family, adding, “The queen has al- ways expressed sympathy with us,” Cries of “‘business’’ groeted tho message, and the men.ber who moved the vote of condolenca reminded the delegates that the queen in cases of accidents in mives always belped the distressed. In sullen silence the confer- ence listened to speeches in favorof the motion, and then by a vote of 19 to 13 passed without debatean ameudment to proceed to business. Sympnthy for Their Own Class, The miners' federation has 200,000 mem- bers, and it i4 the best orgavized avd nost poweriul single union in the country. It Las several representatives in the House of Commons and controls the votes of others. No workmen’'s combination has 30 freely given to the distressed in oroutside of its ranks or shown a keener perception of tha sufferings of the proletariat. Interfer- ence with the family affairs of royalty being felt to be beyond them, they honestly said so. If all of the trades unions of Great Britain wero similarly tested the resnit would be similar. The delegates immediately pro- ceeded to voted sympathy with and substan- tial help for the starving nail makers of the Midland districts who bave long been on strike, The upper and middle olasses are most keenly touched by the incidents of the duke of Clarence's death. Thousands clad n maurning have flocked to Marlvorough house to record their names, and throughout the oapital well dressed folks generally are don— ning some badge of grief. Tha Gazette tonight directs that all per- sons wear mourning until February 23, while aetailea ordors are given to the court and to the army. Soclety's Needless Alarm, The alarm of society people over the pros- pect of social reunions being under a taboo, -the greater part of the coming season; will be relieved by the announcement that the queen, recognizing the necessity of society, will hold the usual May drawing rooms and levees, The prince of Wales and family will not appear in public for a year to come. The princess of Wales after the funeral is going to some secluded spot in the south of Kurope with her daughter. Both are in delica'e hoalth aund their condition is now the source of increased anxiety to the family. Tne death of the duke of Clarence has re- called the fact that he was born prematurely and that he always lacked the robustness of Prince Georgo. Fhe princess of Wales has not yet recov- ered from her grief and prs. tration. The latest announcement from Sandringham to- mght is that Dr. Laking is detained watch- ing the princess of Wales and Princess Mary, fearing that influenza may atack them. Prince George, who Is still weak from his attack of typhoid fever, is also the cause of anxiety. The doctors have advised the prince of Wales as soon as possible to re- move his family from the scene of affiiction. Sympathy for Princess Mary. Princess Mary’s future is undoubtedly the subject of deep national Interest. As a pre- cedent for her marriage to Prince George, the ncident 1s recalled of the death of tho czarowiteh in} 1865 after bis betrothal to Princess Dagmar, now the wife of his brother, the present czar. So profound and universal is the sympathy over her loss that it would be nosurprise if pariiament ac- corded her some provision as & ‘‘maiden widow.” If the report is true that Priuco Georpa is attached to a daughter of Prince Christian, his known strong will makes the project of an alliance with Princess Mary improbable. In the family circle Prince George has long been recognized as the superior of his brother in intellect, force of character and open genialty of disposition. From boyhood he has always held his own against bis bro- ther's proténsions as the elder. It is on record how quarreling as boys over tho pos- session of a gout chaiss George promptly hit s brother in the eye and then seized and kopt the chaise by his superlor strength. Their mutual affection was undoubtedly great, but Albert Victor was the weaker vessel. The concurrent opinlon of those arour.d the throne points to the future popu- lavity of Prince George if he lives to become king. Probable Date of the The queen has not yet decided on the date of the funeral but it will probable be Thurs- day noxt. Cabinet communications with the prinee of Wales and the queen on the plan of intorment have ellcited an expression of feeling from the prince of Wales against any ceremonial pomp. The king of Denmark telegraphs that he desires personally to attend the funeral if his strength permits, and that he will be accompauied by the Danish crown prince with his eldestson. The czar will send his second son, The day of the funeral will be observed as aday of weneral mourning throukhout the country. The governments of Australia are arranging to suspend business. The London” stock exchange will be closed. A fierco contest will be waged with the vatican on the appointment of & successor to Cardinal Manning.

' Mr. Murat Halstead arrived in London from Paris yesterday evening. He will sail on the Majestic tomorrow. In an interview today Mr. Halstead saia: ‘‘The point thai most impressed me in regard to the effects in Europe of the McKinley law is the antagon ism of certain leaging German journals toward Mr. Blaine, I attribute this to the fact that the reciprocity clause 1s expected to prejudice German interests in South America to the benefit of the United States. - Wisconsin's Gerrymander, Mamsox, Wis,, Jan, 15,—A petition was filed in the supreme court today through ex- Attorney Geneval Estabrook to test the con stitutionality of the gerrymander of congres- sional and senate and assembly districts in the last democratic legislature.

Introduction of Starching Machines In a Collur Factory Causes Trouble, Troy, N. Y., Jan, 15.—Six hundred angry collar girls and two or three hundred men and boys, employes at the big factory of Cluett, Coon & Co., congregated in front of that building last evening, threatening veugeance on the firm and employes who would not join their raoks. The cause of the outoreak was the substitution of starch- ing machines, each of which will throw six or eight girls out of employment, Threaten- ing imprecations were hurled at the proprie- tors and the ‘“soabs, as operators of machines were stigmatized. Some impulsive miss threw a handful of mud at the building. This was the signal for a general fusilade. In less time than it takes 1o relato it, the handsomo trio of shops were fairly plastored up to the second story. The situation grew so serious that the en- tire police reserve was called vut. This did not frighten the girls 1 the least. The sioppers’’ rather looked with favor on these caprices, t'or over an hour the scene was one of the greatest excitoment and a riotous demonstra- tion was imminent. People from all parts of the city hurried to the spot and in a short time there were nearly 8,000 within & single block. SOur very existenoe is in danger,” shouted one pretty girl, “and we'll tar and feather these ‘scabs’ before they will take the bread and butter out of our mouths." ‘fhe city hall was packed with girls at 8 o'clock. As each of the leaaers finisted her short but denunciatory speech she was cheered, [Evevy referenco made to the “scabs’ or employers and starching machines was greeted with hisses. Speechoes were made by Harry Lloyd, of the Boston Amalgamated Hrotherhood of Carpenters and Jolners; Dan- iel Harris of Now York, president of the state branch of the Federation of Labor; S. Baren, of the Brooklyn Central Labor union, and Roscoe Grim of the typographical union. 1t is extremely provable that a zencral strike amoag the 1,000 collar girls of Troy will re- sult unless the new stavching machines are removed.
