NEW YORK, April 2s.-The general execu-
tive board of the American Federation Of
Labor held protracted executive session
this afternoon. and tonight issued mani
festo signed by President Gompers. After
denouncing all who do not yield to
his views as enemies of those who work,
MIR. Gompers closes thus:
"The executive council of the American
Federation of Labor having selected the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners of America to make the
the eight-hour work-day. / ask you
to refrain from any sympathetic strikes
rather remain at your work-and aid the
carpenters and joiners to win in the contest.
TO the carpenters and jOiners my advice is
to demand and insist upon the enforcement
OF the eight-hour work day. 1t Is not
matter of theory; it is a positive fact that
the question of wages and conditions will
regulate themselves. and to your benefit, as
soon as the eight-hOur work-day hasbeen in
operation. For that reason. If You cannot
conditions, then allow them to remain open
for future adjustment.
''In the demonstrations to be held May 1,
turn out In vast numbers, and by your pres
ence manifest your unalterable determine
tion to have the eight-hour work day en-
forced, though by one trade at time. yet
for all as the ultimate result. Allow no
one to provoke you to breach of the
peace. Maintain order, refrain from all
violence, engage in no riots, let the watch
word be the enforcement of the eight-hour
work-day. firm, peaceable and positive.
With stout hearts and clear heads let us
concentrate all efforts for victory upon the
carpenters and jOiners.

President Harrison's First Veto Commende
Amount Voted for Public Buildings.

President Harrison's First Veto Commended
Amount Voted for Public Buildings.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, April 2S.-There is general
commendation of President Harrison's first
veto. Even the operators of the real-estate
boom at Ogden, U. T.. acknowledge some
of whom are here. that it would have been
unwise for the city to take upon itself the
amount of indebtedness provided In the
bill which was vetoed. and say, the check
which the President has placed upon ex-
travagancc will ultimately be to the ad.
vantage of the city.
There are many predictions being made
that the President will veto some
of the public building bills which
are being rushed through Congress. al
though the chief executive has not
in any way indicated that he will exercise
his veto power in that direction. The
public building bills which have passed
the House or Senate at the present session
each from $4,000 to ST. SOC. 900. the latter
being for Kansas City. Most of them are
for sums varying from $4,000 60 $50, 900.
The amounts named in bills which have
passed the Senate for future buildings ag-
gregate over S16,00o00O, while the
House has kept almost even pace.
Public building bills of local interest to
Journal readers have passed the Senate as
follows. Lafayette, 100000; Fremont. o..
$4,000. The House passed public building
bills as follows: Akron. o., 100000; Bloom
Fremont. o., $4,000; Lafay yette. Ind, $50. 600;

Congressman Owen Discusses the Need ofNew
Immigration and Contract Labor Laws.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, April 2S-Congressmen
Owen and Stump and Senator Squire, of
the subcommittee on immigration, have re-
turned to Washington. Mr.. Owen expects
to have an immigration bill ready for Con-
gress within the next two weeks. In speak
ing of the proposed bill he said: New
York and New England are suffering from
the influx of class of emigrants who re-
main here only o few years, living in the
meanwhile like paupers and intent only on
boarding and scraping together every cent
they can, and then returning home. This
is particularly true of Italians and Hungar-
ians, and they do the country far more harm
than good. No emigrant should be per-
mitted to land here who does not come with
the intention to build permanent home.
The privileges of our institutions should
no longer be offered to any man who. after
q certain time, fails to become an American
citizen. The bill will provide that the Sec
retary Of State shall forward TO our con-
suls monthly the condition of our labor
market, so that it can be known abroad
whether there is any legitimate call for
immigration labor. radical change In
contract laws will be recommended. There
will have to be q system of inspection
by our cOnsuls or by some other method On
the other side of the water. and the law
must be changed SO as to compel the return
of immigrants coming into the country in
violation of the law. There are probably
i've hundred immigrants coming here every
week in violation of the intent of the con-
tract-labor law, and yet, under the present
letter of that law. 1t Is impossible for the
inspector to detain them. In framing tho
measure We will have to consider that the
character of our immigration has un-
fortunately changed, to a great extent.
from the hitherto wholly desirable class to
a class, q very large per centage of which.
unfortunately. is not only extremely unde-
sirable, but pernicious in its effect on our
wage system and our civilization.
