A DETECTIVES DIsHONOR.
Alleged Disclosure of Information Regard
ing the Operations of the Police.

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-The socialist and
anarchist societies of this city are greatly
excited over what they believe to be a
huge police conspiracy against them. \

able assault at a socialist meeting. Sever
al societies took up the matter and de-
mdnded Nordrumm 5 Dismissal 1t is
claimed low that the detective went to one
of those interested in the prosecution and
to purchase leniency, proposed to give up
information concerning the operations of
the police, and to show that a supposed
champion of the anarchist cause was Aeal-
ly III the pay of the police
for the purpose of creating, by
wild utterances, popular prejudice. 1t is
claimed that Nordrumm furnished four
teen reports from this spy who is Henry
Dainweyer, a man who since 1886 has
been one of the most aggressive anarchists
III the city. At meetings none were more
rabid in utterance than he. and it is now
alleged he would thus induce others to
echo his sentiments and then report to the
police. All this evidence was laid before
the mayor and as result an order was
issued today suspending Nordrumm pend
ing investigation of his alleged treachery.
The mayor and police officials refuse to
talk on the sIbiect.

Decided Action Taken.
ST.. PAUL, Jan. 2S.-At the national
builders convention today. the report of
the executive committee on the eight hour
question was submitted 1t recommends.
III view of the fact that the national and
many state and municipal governments
have enacted that not more than eight
hours labor per day may be legally re-
quired. and in view of the fact of this
standard established in many building
trades, the national association of build
erS recommend that all its affiliated bodies
advise all contractors in their membership
to so arrange their affairs that they may
safely meet III the near future the altered
condition which a general adoption
of the eight-hour standard would entail.
1t also advises that filial bodies shall Sc
cure the adoption of the payment of wages
by the hour, so that they, through that,
also, may be in safer condition to meet the
change in the number of hours, should the
conditions in their various localities make
it advisable for them to do So A warm
discussion followed the reading of the re-
port, but it was fully adopted The mat
ter will be taken up again tomorrow.
