IN Labor Troubles.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., February 10.-Mr.
GAllinGer. from the select committee APP
pointed bv the Senate 20 investigate aud
report TO the Senate the facts in relation
10 the employment for private purposes of
armed bodies of men or detectives in
connection with differences between
workmen and employers. submitted the
report Of the committee to-day.
The committee found that even the pro-
prietors of the detective agencies admit
ted that the presence Of the so-called Pm
kcrtons at strike served TO uuduly in
flame the passions Of the strikers. and the
employment of detectives in the guise Of
mechanics impressed the committee with
the belief that 10 u an utterly vicious sys-
ten. responsible for much Of the III feel
ing aud had blood displayed by the work
ing classes. The committee expresses the
opinion that II firms and corporations
would discontinue the employment ol
armed men on occasions of threatened or
existing strike their interests would be
better subserved. The committee reached
these conclusions:
/. The rights Of employers and workmen
a~e equal.
2 Employers have an undoubted right,
provided they fulfil their agreements, 70
emplOy and dismiss men at pleasure.
3. Workmen can legally organize Tor mu-
lWdl pFoiectlOH ana Improvement.
4. When dissatisfied with wages or hours
they should attempt 10 arbitrate.
.. Failing ia this they have right TO
discontinue work either slngly or IN
body
G. Having discontinued they have no
right. Legal or moral. by force or lntlmlda-
ton, 10 keep others from taking Their
places. OF 10 attempt 10 occupy, inJure, or

1t IS positively settled that Judge Gres-
ham Is 10 go into the Cabinet of Dir.
Cleveland. The declaration that he ia
surely TO be Secretary of State is over
stating the case little, inasmuch az
that Is not positively settled. though
there = little doubt of that being the
Office he will fill. The things settled are
that he il TO 60 into the Cabinet and that
he IS 10 be regarded as the representative
OF the independent allies of the Demo-
cratic party.
The statement, coming n a way 10 carry
conviction that Judge Gresham is to 60
into Mr.. Clevelands Cabinet has greatly
agitsted the Democrats IN Congress.
This coming Immediately after the fight
over silver, which has strained the
relations between section of the
party and Mr.. Cleveland, has excited a
great deal Of apprehension on the part OF
some. There are many Democrats IN Con-
gress who speak with great satisfaction
of the selection, but the great mass OF old
line working politicians accept the
statement reluctantly. and. shaking their
heads over 1t, say that it Is an Injus-
tice to the Democrats Of the country, and
that they fear that II means that there Is
not going TO be all the harmony there
should be between the new administration
and the rank and the file Of stalwart
Democrats.
