Tho Women's Indian Association.
A meeting of the Women's Indian Asso-
citation was held at the house of Mrs.
Thomas Darlington, No. 500 Washington
street, Monday afternoon. Two petitions
to Congress were officially signed and
ordered sent TO Mr.. Lore for presentation.
One urges the passage Of the Dawes bill,
favoring the granting of land to the
Indians in severalty, and the other makes
appropriations for the continuance of the
Eastern Indian schools, which some per-
sons are not disposed TO favor. II was
decided to join the Connecticut associa-
ton in building cottage on an Indian
reservation and appropriate $3.50 towards
the project. The cottage is to be built in
order that Indians may there be taught
the art of housekeeping. II will be
owned and occupied by an Indian couple
named Noah and Lucy, the latter sister
of Bright Eyes. 1t will be built on land
owned by Noah and Lucy, who have 100
acres by virtue of governmental aid.
They will instruct the entire tribe of
which they are members. Noah will re-
turn in small sums the t.of the build
ing. A letter from Mrs. Sarah O. Kinney,
relating to the matter, was read. The
sum of 1926 was appropriated towards
erecting at Round Valley, COL, house
for teacher who is to be general in
structor of the Indians. 1t was agreed
to send to the Indians soon box con-
tanning clothing, books, &c. The house
Of Mrs. Joseph Bellah, No. 512 West
Sixth street, has been selected as the
place for holding the next meeting of the
association.

Their Case Referred Back 10 the
City solicitor.

Argument in the case of Raphael Frizza
and Carlo Protise, who keep booths at the
corners Of Eighth and Seventh and Market
streets was heard before Judge Cummins
this morning, Austin Harrington, Esq, ap-
pearing for the former and Benjamin
Nields, ESQ.,, for the latter. The suit was
brought with David Lemon as prosecuting
witness, and the defendants were charged
with violation Of the city ordinances In
obstructlng the sidewalks in selling from
stands along the sides Of the street.
The argument of the defence was to
question the right Of the Legislature under
the amendment to the constitution to give
City Council power to ereate nuisance,
and that the municipal court had no juris-
dictlon as the case should be tried by infor-
nation or indictment. The conflict between
the city ordinances and the article OF the
constitution governing the jurisdiction of
the inferior courts was also discussed.
The Judge sustained the defendants OBJ
lection that the procedure against the de-
PENDANTS under the warrant was not the
proper one, and committed the case to the
city solicitor for further action with view
to the filing OF an information.

EtoW ioih Aihcc-
"The common sense of the problem is
that no labor should be paid by the day.
All should be paid by the hour." So says
the Sun. The principle thus set forth is
entirely wrong and vicious, ard is at the
bottom of large part of the labor
troubles. Labor should be paid, when
ever possible, neither by the day nor by
the hour, but according to its results.
To pay workman according to the time
spent upon the work is the worst for him.
1t puts a premium on hardness and in
competence and brings the most skilled
and expert mechanic down to the level of
the least fit. The true theory is to pay
the workman for what he does, not for
the time occupied in doing it. In this
way skill will be stimulated and industry
rewarded. This method, too, will have
the effect of removing from the trades
unions stigma that has long chung to
them-that, by putting all the laborers in
any given trade on the same scale of
wages, they offer no inducement to special
excellence,

CHICAGO, May A monster meeting OF
packing house laborers was held last night
at No. 3109 South Halsted street, the build
ing being crowded to the doors, many OF
them being compelled to remain outside
and catch the drift of what was going on as
best they could. John Sheehan, the chair
man, briefly stated that the object of the
gathering was to canvass the result Of the
strike among themselves, and return thanks
and goodwill to the men who had acted
Justly by them. After all the committees
had returned their reports, the result was
learned to be as follows: Armour, Fowler,
Swift, Moran & Healy, Morrill,, Ferguson,
Silverhorn, Washington Butchers Sons,
Botsford, Libby, Meneall 4 Libby, Jones a
Stiles and Atchison- will hereafter allow 10
hours pay for eight hours work. Nelson
Morris will allow nine hours pay for all
employees getting over 50 per day.
Hately Brothers agreed to allow nine
hours pay for eight hours work for skilled
labor but wanted to reduce the unskilled
workmen. This was objected to by the
committee waiting on them and as yet the
matter Is undecided. It Is expected, how
ever, that this firm will fall into line
with the others during to-day. Those OF
the employees OF the above firm who
attended last nights meeting unanimously
agreed to return to their work to. day and
clean up the perlshable material which was
left on the day Of the strike. This they will
do even though their requestfor eight hours
without reduction In wages be denied them.

CHICAGO, May Sup TO $50 O'CLOCK
no trouble has been reported in the lum
Der district The firms located ct South
Chicago are working as usual to-day, but
in the lumber district proper no work al
all is being done. A large fleet of lum.
Der laden craft is blocking up the river
near the lumber exchange None of the
cargoes will be bought or unloaded until
the present difficulties are settled. II is
stated that upward of 800 more vessels
with cargoes Of lumber are on their way
here.
No change in the situation is antici-
pated before this afternoon. At O'Clock
the committee of the lumbermen will
meet, and it is then expected that COM
mittee from the strikers will wait on them
and make their demands. The lumber
men have decided that they can make no
concessions, and this answer will be
made to the strikers.
The lumber yards this morning before
7 O'Clock presented much the same
appearance as usual. Men began to
assemble around the various offices and
planning mills apparently expecting that
the proprietors would inform th4m that
they could go to work at their own terms.
Around each planning mill the men assem-
bled acted as q guard and allowed no one
to enter until he gave an account of him.

Maxwells Bros box-makers sat around
in the shade and complained that owing
to the socialist action, the firm would not
let them go to work Mr.. Maxwell said
that this was exactly what was the
matter. The box.makers had made no
demands and might as we'll be at work,
but he was afraid that If the shop was
started up the socialists would be around
and make trouble.

The River and Harbor Hill.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-From indica-
tions it is improbable that the river and
harbor bill will ever become law. Not
that it will not be passed by the House,
although there are number of represent
atives who would very willingly kill the
bill because their own schemes are not
given sufficient prominence, but that the
Senate is likely to tack on additional
legislation, which will either kill the bill
in the House or make it more objection
able to the President II is understood
that the President is on general principles
opposed to these big omnibus bills. OF
course he has not yet indicated what he
will do when the present bill comes before
him, if il ever should go through both
houses. He has expressed himself,
however, as opposed to the wanton
expenditure of public money usu-
ally contained in this class of
legislation. There ale unquestionably
quite number of items in the river and
harbor bill which ought to go through,
but the number and nature of the i'm
provements contemplated which money
is simply thrown away greatly outweigh
the consideration of such honest iems.
A good deal of ill-feeling is evinced in
the House because certain members dc
not think they have been fairly treated by
the river and harbor committee. These
members have interceded with the sena
tors to secure such amendments to the
bill when it goes before the Senate as
will insure something in the way of doodle
for their constituents. If these disgrunt-
led members therefore vote for the bill il
will be for the purpose of getting il be.

these amendments tackedon When this
is done and the amendment comes back
TO the House the real fun will begin.
It is understood that the Senate amend.
ments contemplated will increase the bill
from 81 900, 600 to 80 900, 900, which will
make it the largest river and harbor bill
ever passed by Congress. It is mora
certainty that the President will Oppose
this when it comes his turn. It is sale
that several members, despairinR of being
able to kill the bill in Congress-, have adj
vised the President to keep sharp look

hOoo,sted Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
CHICAGO, May 5.-The anarchists OF
Chicago inaugurated in earnest last night
the reign OF lawlessness which they have
threatened and tried to incite for years.
They threw bomb into the midst OF line
OF 200 police officers and 1t exploded with
fearful effect, moving men down like
cattle. Almost before the missile OF death
had exploded, the anarchists directed a
murderous fire from revolvers upon the
police as If their action was prearranged
and as the latter were hemmed on every
e-ambuscaded-the effect Of the fire
upon the ranks OF the officers was
fearful. When the police had re-
covered from the first shock of the
attack, they calamity charged upon their
would-be murderers, shooting at every step
and moving them down as their fellow
officers had been by the bomb. The
anar hists fed In dismay before the
charge, but every where they turned the
whitening fire from the revolvers Of the
policemen followed them and thinned their
ranks. The cowardly ours, finding that
their attack did not completely annihilate
the officers and that a force large enough to
cope with them was left, fled In all direc-
lions seeking the darkness Of all halls, pas
sages and side streets to escape the re-
vengeful FIRE of the police.
