In England the number of persons
formerly interested in the silk trade of
that country and its allied branches was
nearly million. According to the last
census returns, the number at present
employed is 81, 427. The reason of this
decrease in the manufacture and the
throwing out Of employment Of some
thing like $50, 900 men and women is
that the silk industry was not closely
protected. The protection was taken

During the past 20 years the rate Of wages in

And yet the statesmen from the south

for nothing. They say we must permit
free competition in our markets with
all the world, no matter if it does result
in pauperizing labor and closing the

EMPLOYERS LIABILITY.

In connection with the regulations under
consideration by Building Inspector Entwisle
and the Commissioners which will require
EMPLOYERS to protect the lives of workmen on
uncompleted buildings, it is well TO remember
the bill formulated by the District Federation
OF Labor looking to liability of employers.
The bill was presented to the chairmen OF
the Labor Committees in the Senate and
House. but nothing has since been heard OF it
and it has presumably been buried in the
same cubby-hole graveyard that holds much
other important District legislation.
The requests of the bill are not extraordi-
nary or extravagant. They merely petition for
the providing of those safeguards 10 lie that
every well-organized municipality accords its
citizens. In this case the citizens are laborers
and they ask that penalty be enforced on en-
ployers who neglect to provide safety for the
lives and limbs of their workmen.
The liability clause is entirely just. 1ndem-
nity can be obtained for injuries sustained
by the carelessness, however indirect, OF great
corporations why not from the boss con-
uactor?
The necessity of the safeguards is easily evil
dent. Improved methods in modern build
ing, the frequency of iron and beam construc-
ton, and the tendency to high structures
have all brought with them added danger to
the employe. 1t is not dictatorial law that
demands attention to the safety of workmen.
1t is only simple humane requisition.
There are plenty of regulations looking out
for the passers-by; why not one in the inter
ests of the fellows inside and on top?

NOT MR.. GARDENERS ROW.

He Has Sent for the President of the Com.
merciaI Alliance TO Disprove the Charges
1t is expected that there will be some mat
tiers OF considerable interest made public to-
morrow in the questions in dispute between
Mr.. Gardner and the Washington Beneficial
Endowment Association.
As it now stands all the law questions in
yolved have been referred to Mr.. Samuel F..
Philips. Mr.. Mackey, one of the law
subcommittee, said yesterday that
Mr.. Philips had already entered into the ex-
animation OF the law and facts as reported to
him. 1t will take some time, it is under
stood, for report to be made in this rela-
ton, 1t is possible, though not probable.
that Mr.. Gardner Will have his statement
ready for tomorrow He was seen last night
at the Shoreham, but all he would say as to
the statement was that it would be ready in a
few days. He said that he had telegraphed
for the president of the Commercial Alliance,
Mr.. G. A. Denham. to be here tomorrow,
and it is expected that he will be here.
Mr.. Gardner said that it is now the fight OF
the Commercial Alliance. He certainly
thought, he said, that he was dealing with a
good strong company. but now that charges
have been made as to its insufliciency, it be-
hooves its officers to prove the contrary. 1t
is for this purpose that the president has been
invited here, and Mr.. Gardner thinks that he
will come well equipped for the proof.
He said very bitterly that he was surprised
at the way he had been ''arraigned, tried,
condemned and executed without hearing
but he had not the slightest doubt that his
vindication would be complete. Further than
this Mr.. Gardner would not go for publica-
ton at present. He said that nothing had
transpired In the case yesterday.

ADJOURNED WITHOUT ACTION.

Senate Considers in Executive Session the
Nomination of Hon. James ID. Porter.
The Senate had the nomination Of Hon
James d. Porter to be United States district
Judge of the eastern and middle districts of
Tennessee under consideration in executive
session for an hour and a half yesterday. but
adjourned without action on account of the
disclosure of the absence of quorum.
Senator Pugh. as chairman of the Judiciary
Committee. which had made an adverse
report on the nomination. made n brief state
ment to the effect that the action of the COM
mittee had been controlled by two circum-
stances one of which was the fact that he was
not a resident of the district over which he
was appointed to preside. and the other his
age. He said that Judge Porter was now
sixty-siN years old and would in four years
be eligible 10 retirement. He did not think it
proper to select men Of such advanced age
and liable under the laws to soon become pen
sioners on the government, for judicial posi-
tions. Otherwise he had no objection to the
nomination.
Senator Bate opposed the confirmation on
the ground of non-residence. saying there
were many lawyers in the district competent
to perform the duties of Judge.
Senator Harris contended for confirmation
and spoke of the general fitness of Judge
Port by reason of education experience,
and training and while he admitted his age
said Mr.. Porter was still vigorous man and
would in all probability serve for many years
il confirmed. While he did not live in the
district he was a resident of the State and the
selection was not remarkably irregular on
this account.
