WANT THE SHORT DAY.
Furniture Men Refuse an Advance
in Wages.


CHICAGO, May S.-The 625 employees
of A, H. Andrews furniture establish
ment are still out. They to-day refused
ten hours and per cent raise. The
settling of the recent strikes among the
carpenters and other building trades
has resulted in a wonderful increase of
business in the building department. 1t
is reported that the strike of the coal
miners of Northern Illinois, which has
kept 1,500 men idle for the past month,
has been settled. The executive COM
mittee of the National Miners union
will tonight issue circular to the men
ordering them to return to work Mon
day. The basis of the settlement is the
agreement which was submitted to the
miners by the operators at the recent
JOINT convention here, and which the
latter refused to sign, with several mod
ifications to suit the miners. 1t is un-
derstood that the terms of existence of
this settlement is contingento on the sue
cess OF the miners in securing the same
conditions from the mine owners in the
southern part of the state. For this
purpose the miners executive commit
tee will go to the Southern coal fields to
organize the men, and, if possible, effect
an agreement with the operators.

SUPERVISION OF ELECTIONS.
Republicans Spring a New-Fans
gled Scheme Upon Congress-.

nepuDIlCanS spring NeW-Fans
gled Scheme Upon Congress-.
WASHINGTON, May s. Representa-
tiYe Rowell, of Illinois, chairman Of
the committee on elections, who was ins
structed by the house caucus to prepare
bill providing for an extension Of the
functions of national supervisors sod
elections, to-day introduced the measure
in the house. 1t is patterned upon the
bill prepared by the senate committee
on privileges and elections, reported by
Senator Hoar, but carries the principle
of petition for judicial interference
further, in that it permits fifty or mora
voters in county or parish, instead Of
requiring 100 voters, to secure the bene-
fits of the supervisory system. II
provides punishment for any person
who shall change the position ot
boxes intended for congressional bah
lots with the intention to deceive. ThA
chief supervisor in each election dis
trict is required to keep poll list and
list of rejected votes, showing the rea-
sons for their rejection. He is also re4
quired to separately receive these re-
jected ballots, place the name of the
voter upon the back and enclose them
in separate envelopes. The supervisors
are also required to inspect all ballots
as they are being counted by the local
election officers, and to make separate
return of the results of the vote, being
governed by the laws of the states in
counts, except as otherwise provided in
the act. They are also to inspect the
returns for representatives and dele
gates in congress of local inspectors OF
elections, and note whether or not they
disagree with their own returns. lii
case polls are not opened within ono
hour from the time fixed by the stata
law, it is made the duty of the SUPER
visor to open them to ballots for repre-
sentatives and delegates in congress
only and to conduct the election and
make returns according to state law.
In each judicial district canvaSsing
board is to be created, composed of the
chief supervisor, the United States dis
trict attorney and the United States
marshal. This board is to correct lH,
perfect returns. with the assistance of
the supervisors; to tabulate the returns
for representatives and delegates, and
to furnish a copy to the attorney gen.
eral and the clerk OF the house of repre-
sentatives. This latter officer is to e1-
anime the returns, and where the re-
suit conflicts with the return of the local
canvassing board to the extent of re-
turning different person to congress,
then neither of the persons so certified
as elected is to be placed upon the roll
OF members until the house shall decide
which has been duly elected. With thS
exception of the provisions above noted,
the bill is essentially similar in terms
and language to the Hoar bill.
