AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR
Today's Session Attended by a Nuna-
ber of Divfnes.

CHICAGO, Dec. 12, 1S93.-The church, rep
resented by divines of nearly every denomi-
nation, Joined hands with labor at this
mornings session of the American Fedora
ton of Labor and wished the movements
Godspeed and success. It was toward the
close of the session that the delegation was
introduced and its appearance was
greeted with enthusiastic applause. Reso-
lutions expressive of fraternaI interest and
fellowship, adopted yesterday by the
Ministerial Conference, were first
presented and then an eloquent address was
made by the Rev. d. II. W. Thomas He said
that the church and the Federation were
working in one common line in behalf of bu-
manlty and the brotherhood of man.
The idea was prevalent that une laborino
people were becoming estranged from the
churches because they believed the latter.
were not in sympathy with labor If this
was the fact then they wanted the labor
organizations to help the preachers to
correct the trouble. With moistened ewes
he told of his own early struggles as a farm
hand and of his ever present sympathy with
labor.
Bishop Fallows expressed the sentiment
"God bless the Federation" and addresses

BRIDGE BILL BLOCKED.
Equal Elghts Must ne Given to the

OPpOSlaAO0 COMPANY
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 1S93-There is a
deadlock in the Conference Committee over
the New York and New Jersey Bridge bill.
The Senate conferrees insist upon an amend
ment which gives to the North River Bridge
Company the right to construct pier in the
Hudson River at Twenty third street under
similar conditions accorded to the New York
& New Jersey Bridge Company.
The House conferees refuse to accept the
Senate amendment and the disagreement is
TO be reported back to the two houses for
further instructions.
The opposition to the proposed bill has
been considerably strengthened >by the sp-
pearance at the Capitol of a delegation fIoin
the New York Chamber of Commerce
The friends Of the bill claim that the dele
cation from the Chamber Of Commerce made
40 impression upon the conferrees. On the
other hand, Mr. Bartlett says that the dele
CATION may not have impressed the confer
l'ees, but he is certain they had good effect
upon some of the members of Congress to
WHOM they We're presented.
The status of the bill now is more uncci,-
tain than it was few days ago, and the
matter may occupy the attention of both
houses Of Conhress for day or two.
The House conferrees declare that thev
will never yield, and the Senate conferrees
seem to be equally determined to place both
OF the bridge companies upon an equal foot
ing, SO far as the construction of piers is CON
cerned

HIGH-BACK CHAIRS.

contemporary paragrapher speaks in
commendation of the current disposition to
furnish dining rooms with high-b back chairs
Diningroom chairs ought to be thoroughly
comfortable, but nothing is gained by
making them hing enough to support the
head, or in running little steeples up
along each side Of them in the vicinity of the
sitter's ears. The head is too busy in the
dining room to need much support. Ii the
chair backs reach up to the shoulder blades
they are quite high enough If they go far
ther than that they tempt diners to slumber
at the table, which is bad manners.
Another objection to the very high backed
chairs is that walters or mattresses of ordi-
nary stature find them serious hinderance
to the prompt distribution of food A short
waitress cannot take a short cut over a chair
back four or five feet high. She must steer
her dishes around the corners of such chairs,
and that is more of an inconvenience and
detriment to good waiting than most diners
realize.
One day this summer at hotel where high
backed, twinspire chairs prevoiled a waiting
damsel made pathetic complaint of the ex-
treme weariness she had in her arms because
of the constant lifting of dishes over the
high backs of the dining room chairs. -Har-

Naval Defence Increased.
BY Gable to the United Press

LONDON, Dec. IL, 1S93-A meeting, called
by the Chamber of Commerce was held
today at the Cannon Street Hotel to
consider the state of the British naval de-
fences. There was crowded attendance
Sir Albert Kaye Rollit, member of Parlia.
ment' presided. Among those present were
General Lord Roberts, ex-Commander-in-
Chief of Her Majesty's Force in India; Field
Marshal Sir John Lntorn Simmons and
several members of the House Of Commons.
The Chairman, who is President of the As
soclated Chambers of Commerce and Chair
man OF the London Chamber of Commerce.
pointed out that while the commerce of
France and Russia is far less than that of
Great Britain, those countries spent more
money proportionately on their navies.
The Right Hon. Charles Ritohie. formerly
President of the Local Government Board,
made a statement similar to that of the
Chairman
General Lord Roberts, when he arose to
speak, received an ovation. He made brief
address in support of the resolutions that
were submitted, declaring that steps should
be taken Immediately to increase the naval
defences
IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.
In the House of Commons today, the
Right Hon. George Hamilton Conservative,
formerly FISJ Lord OF the Admiralty, stated
that he would shortly move the adoption
OF resolution calling upon the Government
to inform the House as to its intentions in
regard to increasing the strength of the
navy.
Mr. James Keir Hardie Socialist. MEM
Der for the South Division of West Ham,
moved that the House adjourn. The mo
ton was made for the purpose of calling
the attention of Parliament to the condition
of the unemployed. Mr. Hardie said
that acute distress was prevailing in the en-
tire country. A large number of cases
OF suicide and starvation had been
reported. Pauperism had increased, especi-
ally In London. 1t was necessary, he de-
clared, that the local authorities should
furnish employment for the poor.
THE CABINETS DECISION.
The st. James Gazette SAYS TODAY that the
Cabinet, yielding to public opinion, has de-
ci3ad to strengthen the navy. The details.
the paper adds, have not been settled. It
is believed, however, that about
9S, 100000 will be expended on the construc-
tlon of new ships. The Governments pro-
gramme, it is said, includes the
building of six or seven battleships.
some OF which will be of the largest type,
probably of an improved Royal Sovereign
pattern. The ST. James Gazette
says further that his decision was only con-
ceded in order to avoid something
like Cabinet crisis Earl Spencer,
First Lord of the Admiralty, favored
the plan, but Mr.. Gladstone and Sir VIII
ham Vernon Harcourt, Chancellor of
the Exchequer, objected to the increased ex-
pense, when it was certain that the budget
would be a bad one

By Cable to the United Press.
LONDON, Dec. H. 893.-Thousands of the
unemployed workingmen of London met at
Tower Hill today and listened to addresses
made by James Keir Hardie, a So
cialist member of Parliament, Frank
Smith and others. Mr. Hardie said that
he intended to move the adjournment of the
House of Commons today in order to call
the attention of Parliament to the condition
of the unemployed.
Upon the conclusion of the speech making
the crowd marched to Hyde Park A num-
Der of black and red flags were displayed.
Several speeches were made in HYDE
Park, after which the procession was re-
formed and started on the way back to
Tower Hill As the men marched through
Oxford street the police captured
the most offensive banner that
was being carried in the lines. The men
were allowed to march through Cheapside
but subsequently, when they We're ordered
to disperse by the police, they refused
to do SO. The police charged the
crowd, and after a slight resistance
succeeded in dispensing it, Traffic was
stopped for a short time Some of thesshop-
keepers in the vicinity of the disturbance
feared that the mob might loot their places
of business, and as soon as the disorder be-
gan shutters were hastily put up, doors
locked and business suspended.

WORKERS IN THE Boys BRIGADE

Many of the prime movers in this new
catise Cthe Boys Brigade) are men who
have been almost strangers to such
work before. But they saw here
something definite, practical, human;
something that they could hegin upon with
out committing themselves to positions
which they had not quite thought out,
something which could utilize the
manlier elements in them, and give
them useful life-interest outside them
selves Ehus through the instrumentalitv of
the Brigade only have multitudes of Boys in
town and country been brought under re-
gsme, morally and physically educative, but
numbers of influential young men, including
great many volunteers, have found them
selves for the first time enlisted in the cause
of social and religious progress. For
a real field of honest usefulness
field whore the tools required are simply the
stronger and better elements in Christ
tian manhood, there is probably nothing
just now to laynen which has in it any
thing like the same substanee and promise as

press his detestation of the dastardly crime

VAILLANT'S MISTRESS ARRESTED
The search of the pblice in the northern
section OF Paris will probably result in the
expulsion from France of thirty foreigners
| who are believed to be relatives of anarch-
lists. Marchal, the husband of the mistress
| OF Valiant, the bomb thrower, has vanished,
and the police can find no trace of him
Hey udNe ulScOV6feQ, however,, UnaG Mad
anne Marchal was an accompGce of her para
mour in his dynamite plan, and she has been
placed under arrest
The police learned from papers that they
discovered that the woman was fully aware
OF Valllant's plan to throw the bomb in the
Chamber of Deputies, and that her seeming
surprise when informed of the crime was
assumed to throw the authorities off the
scent they were following.
A MISERABLE THREAT.

Chamber has received letter signed Gone

NICKEL VS.. SILVER.

There are some authorities who argue that
the prices of nickel and silver viii eventually
cross each other. They argue that nickel IS
produced, and that as silver is used more as
a symbol of wealth its value in that direc-
tion will gradually depreciate. In such
an event there is long road, be-
cause silver has in it the tradition
of ages, and the poorer classes Of the world
would be actuated in its use as the rich have
been, and for long time the downward
course would be stayed by this sentiment
alone.-HurdtUdre
