Possibility that Senator Gray, OF Delaware,
May BE Nominated Chief-J Justice.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Voorhees,
name has been mentioned for appointment to
the vacancy on the bench of the Suprme Court
OF the United States, but those who know HIM
best in Washington put no stress On such talk
They say in the first place. that voorhees, is not
in favor at the White House, and, in the second
place, his retirement from the Senate would
make vacancy which would be filed by Re-
publican when the Indiana Legislature meets
and that knows this better than Presi-
dent Cleveland. There is nothing in the talk
about ex-senator j. E. Mcdonald as successor
20 Chief-iustice Waite He is too old.
There men of good Judgment and prime
knowledge of White House affairs who argue that
Judge Gray. of Delaware will be Mr.. Walte's sue
cessor. Gray succeeded Secretary Bayard in the
Senate, and the latter. it is said, would like
to return to his seat there If Gray should go
on the bench this could be accomplished with
entire satisfaction all around. Gray is forty
eight years old, large, hne-looking man,
splendid lawyer, and HIS appointment would
doubtless prove wise one.

LABOR INTERESTS.

The Brewers Determine to Liberate Them
selves from Labor Union Dictation.
NEW YoRK, March 26.-When the journey
men brewers announced at yesterdays meeting
of the Central Labor Union that all danger Of
trouble between the boss brewers and their EN-
ployes was at an end because the bosses had
decided to renew the mems old contract, they
made a mistake. The opposite is apparently
the fact, and the trouble is imminent. The
bosses to-day. through their organization. the
United States Brewers Association, and it's
president. VIM. A. Miles, issued circular to
their men. In it they say:
THE false position into which the brewers
were forced, much against their inclination and
better Judgment, could not fail to bring its
evil fruits, and after an experience Of nearly
eighteen months il has become UNDESIRABLE We
are therefore, determined rs q body to throw off
the onerous burden. and to again assume the
legitimate control of business affairs. We
assure our employees, labor unions and the pnb-
lie generally. that we are not governed In our
present action by the desire or intention to
abridge to abrogate any fair concession "a to
hours of labor and recompense thsrefor, which
we have made to our workmen under former
agreements
The circular claims that the powers conceded
to the unions have been abused and stipulatious
broken with the impunity by tine men. This
''misdirection and willfull abuse" q powers is
charged to the leaders in ehe national and local
brewery workingmens' unions. The circular
continues: "A much graver responsibility, how
ever, do these assume, when they prosti-
tute their sway over the minds and actions Of
brewery workmen, by drawing them into affilia-
ton with auarchisrn, upon which every loyal
citizen looks with condemnation and abhor-
rance"
The circular then gives. in extenso. a set of
resolutions passed by the Brewers Association,
declaring that, at the expiration of the existing
contracts, no new agreements shall be made
with any brewers union of workingmen; assur-
ing their employees that there is no intention to
reduce wages or lengthen the hours of labor;
promising employment and protection to all who
stand by them in case a strike results; recognlz-
ing the right OF labor to combine within the
limits of non infringement on the rights of others
and expressing adherence of anarchism as at
taching stigma to the trade The members of
the association pledge themselves Co stand by
each other 10 of strike. and to refuse to
sell beer to the customers of any member of
the association whose brewery is closed by rea-
son of strike. boycott or lockout. The circu-
lar is issued "by order of the United States
Brewers Association, with the concurrence of
its affiliated local associations throughout the
United States"
