of Workmen

ENGLISH LABoRERs AROUSED.
They Are beginning to Feel the Effects o

They Are beginning to Feel the Effects OF
an Influx of Russians and Poles.
LONDON, Nov. 80. Considerable alarm
has been created among English work
ing people by the report that the United
States is about to pass law stopping
immigration altogether. 1t is feared
that as wages are higher in England
than on the continent, the tide will turn
altogether in this direction.
Already the influx of foreigners, and
especially of Russians and Poles, will
ing to work for small wages, has q per-
ceptible effect upon the labor market,
and many Englishmen feel that they are
out of jobs because the Russians and
Poles have found work.
There is also large influx of Russian
and Polish women, who are gradually
drifting into employment as servants
and i'll other domestic capacities, the
lower rate Of wages paid them being
compensation TO employers for their ig-
norance. Thus Englishmen and Eng
lishwomen are being driven out of work
by immigration.
The only class that strictly favors
free immigration is the manufacturers.
They hold it over the operatives in the
textile industries as a maenace of what
might happen if the operatives are too
persistent in their demands for higher
wages, or their opposition to reduced
wages
As some of the newspapers are owned
by or published in the interest of manu-
facturors, such newspapers are very
chary Of dealing with the subject.
Wor6ingmcn, however, are alive to the
issue, and will press it upon their par

WANTS IMMIGRATION SUSPENDED.
Senator Chandler Thinks tho Bars Should
BE Put Up for Five Years.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. - Senator
Chandler, of New Hampshire, chairman
of the senate committee on immigra-
ton, who has given much time to care
full study of tho immigration problem,
declares that an absolute suspension Of
all immigration for period of ut least
five years would be a good thing for the
United States, and his declaration is at
tracing much favorable comment in
congressional circles.
Treasury officials contend, however,
that many of the immigration evils from
which we suffer could be reduced to an
agreeable minimum by strict, impair
tial application of the present law, as
the meshes of our net are fine enough
now, but they say there are rents in it,

no fear nor regard for anything when
the interests of the party are concerned
or individual interests are involved in

KNIGHTS OF LABOR BUILDING.
Secretary Hayes Tells why a Change o
Location is Wanted.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29.-General Sec
rotary Hayes, of the Knights of Labor,
said to reporter Sunday evening in re-
gard to the proposed sale of the orders
building in this city that it was ordered
by the general assembly for the purpose
of gathering together all the industrial
organizations of the country under one
roof as rapidly as terms could be made
with them.
"Why could not that be done here"
"For the reason that we are subject
to decisions such as was recently rem
dered by Chief Justice Paxson when he
constituted himself a justice of the
peace in the Homestead cases. Our idea
was to either get on the Canadian line
at Niagara Falls, Ont, or under the
wing of our national capital at Washing
ton to avoid such decisions. These We're
the only reasons for removing the head
quarters from this city. Any other
reasons given for the change, such as
lack of support in the east, are not
true"

is OHIO NATURAL GAS PLAYING OUTl


from 400 to Eighty Pounds.
SPRINGFIELD, o., Nov. 29.-All of
Ohio using natural gas is greatly
aroused over the umistabaAe evidences
that the supply is slowly failing. The
pressure in the great Mercer county
fields has decreased from 400 pounds to
seventy-fye and eighty pounds, and
new wells are being constantly drilled

to fulfill contracts to supply gas to cities
on the big pipe lues, such as Dayton,
Springfield Sidney, Troy, PiQua, etc,
To facilitate the distribution of gas a
new-fangled force pump Is being used to
hurry the gas through the mains.
All manufacturers have been cut off,
and nothing larger than a hotel Is now
supplied with the convenient fuel The
pressure is getting so unreliable and
variable that hotels are taking ont their
burners. The local officials Of the COM
pany are discouraged over the prospect,
and consumers fear they will have to re-
turn to the use of coal. Some are in.
olined to think that the large flow from
the big wells in Indiana and the largely
increased use of 1t there have something
to do with the pressure here. The local
consumption ordinarily requires four
ounce pressure all the time. This week
it has been below that most of the time
