sion. At the present session there has
been appropriated the sum Of 81, ,3O0, 900
toward meeting the river aud harbor con-
tracts authorized by the Fifty.first con-
gress and 9, goo toward such contracts
authorized by the Fifty-second congress.

LOGIC OF GOODWIN
Stated to the National Labor
Commission.
HIS REMEl Y AGAINST THE STRIKE

OF fIndustry-Whst L. Right for Railways
and. Mines L. Right for An OsAer En-
terprises Protector Bemis Presents .
Scheme Of Arbitration-Manage and
Pullman Ignore the Investigation.
CHICAGO, Aug. ls.-The Pullman officials
and railway managers continue to make
no sign indicating that they know there
Is commission acting under the authori-
ty of the United States government sit
ting here and inquiring into the late
strike. A good deal Of speculation is in
dulged in as to what the ''other side"
meaus to do and whether the commission
will be forced to issue subp9nas. Some say
the managers and Pullman are waiting
until the labor case is all in aud then they
will come forward. 1t is very certain that
the statements of Thomas Heathcote have
made q decided impression on the COM
mission, aud that if Pullman has nothing
to say those who read Heathcote's evidence
must conclude that the case is very strong
against the millionaire car builder.
A Question of Jurissliction.
In this connection 1t is probable that the
question of the extent of the jurisdiction
of the commission will come up before the
end Of the investigation. Should any Of
the witnesses refuse to answer questions
the power of the commission to compel
him will be raised at once. The law con-
fers on the commission the authority vest.
ed in any commission appointed by the
United States courts, but in snch cases
the commission relies on the court that
appointed it to enforce its mandates. In
the case OF the labor commission the ap-
pointment Is by the president and there is
no such offense knowl to the law as CON-
tempt Of the president. The commission
ers, however, say their power is ample for
all contingencies and will be used when
ever il is necessary,
Gootwin's Socialistic View.
The first witness before tie commission
yesterday was Roy NJ. Goodwin, an A. r.
U. director. He could add nothing to
what had already been told about the
strike, and he had no remedy for strikes
under the present wage system!' A ''co-
operative commonwealth" would settle
the whole trouble. Asked what ''co-
operative commonwealth" was he said:
Il mean that the govern ment should own
all labor-saving machinery and control all
the product Of labor in common. 1t is

IhoY Wantad Clothing.

a bold attempt was made to rob s.
Crowns clothing store Tuesday night
which would undoubtedly have been sue
cessful but for the fact that Philip Crown
son of the proprietor happened to go by
the store while the plunderers were at
work and discovered that the gas was
turned out. He notified the police and
two out of the three engaged in the job
were captured. The thieves obtained an
entrance at the rear door by cutting out
panel. They were evidently trying to
get away with the whole stock. The two
claim to come from New York and plead
ed guilty to the charge of theft; for
breaking and entering the case will come
before the grand jury.
