Union NO.6.
By Telegraph to the State Chronicle
New YORK, June 15.-The statement
made by Chauncey NJ. Depew that the
differences between Whitelaw Reid and
Typographical Union No. 6, had been
adjusted, and that the Union had re-
quested his candidacy, is topic of much
discussion. 1t was stated by an officer
of the Union to United Press reporter
to-day that Mr.. Depew had spent some
time with Mr.. Reid at his home in
Ophir farms last night in regard to the
matter, but that no settlement had been
reached. The United Press reporters
informant said there was very little like
lihood of settlement between the union
and MIR. Reid being reached The mem.
bers of the union say that if its commit
tee at Minneapolis gave Mr. Depew to
understand that a settlement had been
reached between Mr.. Reid and the
union, 1t placed the union in a
false position, and exceeded it's
authority. At a meeting of the
International Typographical Union
in Philadelphia yesterday, reso-
luton was offered condemning New
York Typographical union No 6, for its
alleged action in recommending the
nomination of Whitelaw Reid for the
vice presidency, whom the resolution
characteristics as ''the worst enemy that
organized labor has had to contend
with" Action on the resolution was de-
ferred until the union cited could be
heard from, after an attempt to table it
was defeated.

plause on democratic side) each of whom
was IN favor of liberal appropriation for
Notifications. The bill was passed with
out division. The House then proceeded
In committee of the whole, MIR. Blount
dem of Georgia, in the chair, with the
bill to reduce duty on tin plate, terne
plate and pig tin. Mr.. Shively (dem.
OF Indiana, opened the debate in favor
OF the measure. The bill provides
that on and after October l, 1892,
the duty on tin plates, terne plates
and taggers tin shall be one cent per
pound, and after October 1, 1882, they
shall be free. Block, bar and pig tin are
retained on the free list. Mr.. Shively
said that when the last Congress assem-
bled there was large surplus in the
Federal treasury; and the annual reve-
nues for the government far exceeded
the requirements of public service. When
the Mckinley bill was pending before
the committee on ways and means in
that Congress, the secretary of the
American tin-plate association appeared
before that body to ask for an
increase of duty and in reply to
a question stated that at that time
no tin-plate was being made in this
country. This, in fact, was conceded on
all sides, despite that under the tariff of
1888 over S35, 100000 had been paid by
American consumers of tin-pate for the
protection of domestic tin-plate manu-
facture. The present law subjects every
American industry which uses tin plate
to new and burdensome exactions. The
proposed measure is proposition to re-
lease these Industries from such exac-
tions. Mr.. Shively was followed by
MIR. Raines (rep.) of New York.
In opposition to the measure. He
attacked the force bill theories
OF the democrats and extolled
the principles of the Mckinley bill as a
great boon to the American people. Mr..
White, (dem.) of Iowa, favored the bill
and said that the democratic party was
not committed to free trade, but to a
tariff for revenue. There were free trade
democrats, but the policy was not that of
the party. A protective tariff could not
be maintained in this country twenty
