sions Became Public.

WASHINGTON, April 1Sth.--The Senate in
executive session today disposed of its re-
port and Recommendations of the Dolph
special committee to find the leaks by
which the proceedings OF executive sessions
became public. The report recited the fail

dustries of Chicago.

the kindred tradesmen Of the carpenters
are idle to-day. The industrial palsy is
spreading. To-day has been the most in

plete paralysis of all business will result.
Should the bosses continue not to arbitrate
soon, the strikers have agreed to resort TO
aggressive measures. A new Master Car
penters' Association is to be organized in
opposition to the Builders Exchange Asso-
ciation with that end in view, and to settle
the present strike. A conference was held
