ABOUT TRADES ORGANIZATIONS.
Daniel s. Robson, a telegraph engineer and con-
tractor OF this CITY, the FIRST witness before the
Senate Sub Committee on Education aud Labor yes
terday. He stated that he had not come before the
committee voluntarily but had been subpGnaed.
He said he desired to call attention to
one or two errors In the testimony Of
Mr. McCleIland in regard to the cost Of construct
ing telegraph trunk lines. The latter had stated
that the cost of the construction of an eght-wire
line between New York and Chicago would be about
1925 765 This estimate Mr.. Robeson affirmed was
much lower than aLy contractor would give, aud
line of the above character could not possibly be
built for less than 81 900 per mile This sum would
include the entire cost OF construction erection OF
Offices, and equipments. From calculation which
he had recently made, he was quite confident
that the entire plant of the Western Union
could be replaced for $50. 100000. When asked by
Senator Blair to give the cost OF poles. wlre right
of way, ETC., Mr. Robson refused to answer the
question.
Senator George said that unless the witness was
willing to 90 into the details of construction his
testimony would be worthless. This called out
denial from Senator Blair and for few minutes
there was an exceedingly lively discussion between
the two Senators. in regard to the point. Senator
George then tried his luck with the witness with
no better success than Senator Blair.

Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, was then
