FORTY-NINTH CONGRESS-.
sen ATE.
WASHINGTON Anril 10

Among the petitions presented to the Senate
today was one from MIR. Harrison, from three
assemblies of Knights Of Labor at Fort
Wayne, Indiana, praying for the speedy pas
sage by the Senate of the labor arbitratlo
bill already passed by the House of Repre-
sentatives.
Mr.. Harrison said he did not desire to an
ticipate the discussion of the bill referred to.
which had been favorablv reported by the
Senate committee on education and labor and
was soon to be taken up by the Senate. "The
startling occurrences of which we had accounts
from day to day in the newspapers" Mr.
Harrison said, "were turning the attention ol
all lovers of good order and of the prosperity
of the country to the interests of its working
classes, as well as of those of EMPLOYERS of
labor. Arbitration was the only course open
for peaaeful, speedy and just settlement of
such disputes. Arbitration, Of course, must
precede strikes and disturbances. Arbts
ton implied calmness, that was not found
when the contest had once been inaugurated
and passions aroused. SO far as legislation
could contribute to the securing Just settle
ment by arbitration and discussion In advance
of any controversies arising in connection
with labor. Congress would. by the enactment
of such legislation, contribute greatly to the
peace and happiness of the country"
The bill referred to being already on the
calendar, the petition was laid on the table
After routine business, on motion of Mr.
plat tba Wasbington tarritory adm;,.;o, Mi

posed of, the question arose. on an ament-
ment offered by Mr.. Morgan, requiring the
constitution of the proposed new state to be
submitted to Congress, and approved by it
before the admission OF the state. This was
