The fight over the World's fair amendments to the sundry civil uppro- vriation bill was expected, and the contest- nnts were ready for the fray. Noithor side was confidont, although the fricnds of the measure clain.ed that tho chances were in Lheir favor. Briot remarks were made by Mr. Caruth (who formerly votea against the proposition), Mr. Bowers, Mr. Houk of Ohic and Mr. Hopkins of Tllinots in favor of theappropriation. Then came a vote on a proposal to reduce the appropriation to £5, d this was voted down by a decisive majority. The friends of the measure were plated. It was by no means a test vote, but It was ono which showed a large attendance. What they feared was the lack of a quorum, ‘Fhen came the vote on the receding agree- ment to tho senate ameudment, and the friends of the measure were successful. Buv thoir foy was short-lived.

Mr. Curuth of Kentucky made one of his characteristic humorous speeches in favor of the appropriation. Mr. Bowers of California said that nine- tenths of all the people of California were in favor of the World’s fuir and in favor of congress making a generous appropriation in aid of the oxposition. Mr. Houk of Ohio quoted from the orig fnal law to give force to his argument that It was 1ncumbent on congress to make the Rpprovriution. Mr. Hopkins said that all the gentlemen who had argued against the proposition had had a pleasant word for Chicago. They spoke iu praise of the international exposition, yet every one of them attempted 1o assassinato the national character of the enterprise and reduce it toa municipal affair, Congress ought uot now to refuse to mppropriate tne * money. Mr. MeMiilin of Tennesseo spoke in oppo- mition to the appropriation, basing his oppo- sition on the depletea condition of the treas- ury. T'he debate then closed, Tho speakor stated that the senate amend- ments would be read in order and be woutd rYocognize the gevtleman from Indiana (Mr. Hoiman) to make any motion he desired relative' to them.

Tellers wyero ordered on his motion, but be- foro the vote was completed ho witndrew the motion. Tho vote was then taken on Mr. Bingham’s motion to recede. As the call progressed there was every symptom of interest waui- fesied by the members. Masy of thom kept tally and the spaco in {front of the speaker's desk was crowded with members discussing the prospect aud watchiug every response with eager interest. When the clerk finished tho call- fug of the roll, it was noised around that the molion had sccured a mojority of nearly twenty. Mr. Holman immediately changed his vote from negative to the afirmative” in order that he might be entitiod to move & re- consideration.

Thesenator said: *‘The parties who are criticising my action on these two economic questions will find it very difti- cult to drive me out of the republican party.

JOHN WILLIAMS GIVES HIS IDEA Secretary Kent of the Carpenters Unlum Descants on the Necessity of United Ao~ tlon and Concerted Considorns tion by the Massés, The mass meeting which was given undey the auspices of the United Brotherhood of Carpentors and Joinors at Washington hall last oyoning was not as well attended as af- fairs of thav kind usually aro in Omaha. Not over fifty persons were in the hall when tho mesting was called to ordor, but they were suflicient to develop considerabla on- thusiasm and the moeting was an interosting oue in spite of tho throatevea rain. A nutn- ber of women wore scattered through the audience and they seemed attentive listeners. Mr. W. B. Musser was chairman and stuted that tho meoting was called in tne in- terests of orgauized labor. The subject of labor organization was tho principal theme of the speakers and politics were scarcely wentioned. Rev. John Williams was the flist speaker and his brief address was well received. He took the ground that tho orgamization of labor should bs for the purpose of pravent- ing strikes and serious difficultios between the luboring men and their employers and not to institute them, There was too much atteution paid to the amount of wages. Kiva dollars a day w no better than $, pro- vided that tho latter amount would pur- chase as much as the former. What tho labor ing classes were entitled to wus a fair pro- portion of the earnings of their Iabor, and the primury purpose of organization was to find out how much that was, If a man received £l u day moro on account of & high tarift and it cost him that much more for his living ho was not a gainer. Theresult of a thorough organizauion of labor was to enublo the wage earners to arrive at conclusions of their own upon these great questions and to govern their actions accordingly. One great diffi- culty encountered was the differvat national- ities represented in the ranks of American labor. It was dificult to amalgamate all these people into one compact and united ore ganzation. 'Uhis could only be accomplishea oy uusellish devotion to the cause and per. severance in working for its success. Seoretary Kent on the Cause. Tho chairman then introduced Mr. S. J. Kent, secretary of the general executive committee of the Carponters uuion, Mr. Kent said that tho ogject of labor organiza- tions was to alleviutd misery and to promote the common good of the people. Eternal viligance was the price of liberty, and the laboriug classes had not 50 much somothing 10 gain as something to retain, The history ot the world showed that the middle classés were most prosperous at the times when their moral ascendency was most marked. It was necessary for the laboring classss to stand shonlder to shoulaer to protect their shts hose of thewr families. And the er referred to the history of labor in various uges to show thal when they neg- lected to stand up for their privileges and allowed the wealth to accumulate in the hands of u fow the position of the masses was rendered insecure and thelr rights wers trawplod on with impunity. ¥ g To R N TR dbomiag ‘poople. must be cducated and wede to understand the re- snousibilities of their position, 1f tmis was neglectea it was of no use to curso th capitalists, Tho masscs themsolves wers vesponsible for the result. Different orguuizations had different methods, but they were ail working for the aneend. The speaker belonged to various different organizations, bug had never found that his duty to one couflicted with his fealty to another. It was oelieved by some that by organizing each trade separately more could b accomplished than by uaiting the entire laboring classes in one orgunization, The Kuights of Lavor thought that all wage- work: sbould be organized in a single united body, but this differonce of opinion would not prevent all organizations from working barmoniously together, Standing in Thelr Own Light. One great dificulty in tho organization of the laboring classes was their own prejudices. Some had ideas so_deeply rooted that they coula nov be made to agres upon a broad princivle that might conthict with their prejudices, 1t was once asserted that wages could not be raised unless capital increased 1n a corre spouding ratio. But the labor organizations had exploded that theory long ago. They bad proved that a benelit to the laborer meant a correspovding benefit to the em- ployer. An increasc in wages meany an increase in the vants ot the laborer. Thoy were enabled to dross their fumilies botter, to beautify their homes and to enjoy more of the lux- uries of lifo. An increased consumption meant u. better market, and ultimately the additional compensation given to the laborer found its way back to eurich the cupitalist. Pho object of orgavized labor should be to Tench the peoplo that character was tho first element of manhood. To make success cer~ twn they should endesvor to muke thems s bétter, In many cases women and chilaren were employed in factories. They wero there because the labor organizations Bud fuiled to do their duty. Ewployers should be made to pay their men enough so that the women and children woula be able 10 stay ut bome. It was gotting so that the womwen worked whilo the men walked the streets. In a large city the streets were lined every moruing with women who were oing ta their daily toil. It was enough to mako every man who had @ spark of man- Lood in bim realize that be had a work to do. © Women and Children at Work. The speaker quoted a report covering thirty-two mills in the south, whore, ho said, only %40 men were omployed ‘as against 1,320 and U1 children, The men recoived conts n day on an average, the women wnts, aud children 5714, This was for verage day’'s work of eleven and one- Latf hours.
