HOUSE.

The bill TO remove cases from the
state to the Federal courts came up III
the morning hour, the pending question
being on secOnding the previous ques-
ton.
Mr.. Wood appealed to Mr.. Townsend
OF Illinois, who has charge of the bill,
to permit its reference or recommital
so as not to have it blocking up busi-
ness of all the other committees.
Mr.. Townsend regarded it as his duty
To press for action on the bill. The
Republicans then rcsorted to the policy
of Withholding their votes and this
made necessary a call OF the House.
The call was followed by roll call.
On motion TO dispense with further
proceedings, and the morning hour hav-
ing expired, the bill went over without
action.
The House then proceeded to the con-
sideration OF the bill to prevent the IN
PRODUCTION of contagious or infectious
diseases into the United States, the
Senate bill in relation TO that subject
being substituted for the House bill,
Mr.. MCGOWAN spoke in favor OF the
bill.
Mr., Rice opposed It.
Mr.. Conger advocated the bill, which,
ii it meant anything, meant that the
Federal Government had supreme and
absolute authority over the States.
The House then proceeded to consider
the bill by sections.
Mr.. Harris offered an amendment to
the first section, to insert the words,
cor establish the health laws OF any
State"
Mr.. Young, of Tennessee, while not
ObjrCting 10 the amendment, appealed
10 the House not 10 amend the bill at
all lest IL should fail in the Senate for
want of action before adjournment.
Mr.. Poud-This is the first / have
heard Of their being danger Of the ad-
iournment of Congress.
Mr.. Robinson asked Mr.. Young
whether he was willing that Congress
should adjourn without passing the ap-
preparation bills.
Mr.. Young replied that he was not
The amendment was rejected and the
section agreed to.
An amendment was offered 10y Mr..
Reagan to the second section, and was
also rejected.
Mr.. Young then moved the previous
question on the whole bill. The previ-
Gus question was seconded and the
senate bill was passed without any
amendment. 1t now only awaits the
Presidents signature to become a law.
Leave Of absence having been asked
for 10y Mr.. Garfield and several others,
objection was made by Mr. Reagan To

PROSPECTS OFALOCKOUT.
The Puddlers Submit the Old
Scale Again-What Employers
Think,
ttsbuvh COmnercial-Gqzette.

Pittsburgh COmmercial-Gazette
According 10 the agreement between
the iron manufacturers and the pud-
dlers, the latter Yesterday presented the
sliding scale OF wages OF last year for
renewal. This action was determined
upon at meeting held Saturday week
ago. which was published the following
Monday, and not as an evening paper
had il, on last Saturday. The action Of
the puddlers in adopting the sliding
scale of last year is simply an expression
on their part that they will not agree to
any reduction in wages. Under the
existing agreement, the mill owners
will have until Saturday next, the end
OF the month, 10 sign the same sliding
scale again. Ii it is not signed by that
time, the puddlers will stop work and
lockout will Cnsue, which VIII
stop the mills. While but little
appears on the surface, there is strong
Under-Current, indicating that trouble Is
ahead. The employees, so far as can be
aSrertained, are determined not to sub
nit 10 any reduction in wages. On the
other hand, the manufacturers have de-
Clarcd in a resolution adopted after ma
turc dplibcratiOn, that a reduction Is alb
sOlutcly necessary, and individually, so
lar as can be asCeTtained, each manu-
lecturer proposes to carry out the spirit
OF the resolution. Ii may be taken al
most as certainty that the sliding scale
will not be signed. Ii it is not signed,
then the arbitration committees from
the Manufacturers Association and from
the Amalgamated Iron Association will
meet and endeavOr TO effect cOmpro-
mise. Ii they cannot agree lockout
must cnSue. The developments OF the
next four days will be anXiously awaited.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-To-day Ohio

however, is doing all in its power to

Mr.. Mcdonald asked leave to present
the petition and memorial OF the ex-
soldiers and sailors of Providence, pro-
testing against violations of the civil SER
vice reform, especially in relation to the
appointment of customs officers in Prov
idence, and alleging interference by
Federal officers in elections.
