WASHINGTON, July 6.-The special
house committee investigating the al.

General Superintendent Schwab of the
Carnegie company. The first intorma-
tion or knowledge he had regarding the
irregularities was in September, 1898
About this time Frick sent for him and
said that he had received informa-
tion from certain sources, to the
effect that irregularities were being
practiced, AMI that there was
scheme on hand to give the company
trouble At this time he referred to
blow holes aud the treatment of spou-
sons. Soon after this Frick wrote him
to be very careful and see that the
work was in no way slighted and that
the specifications were adhered TO-
From that time he was sure that there
was nothing done that could be consid
cred wrong.
Chairman Cummings asked him il he
had ever directed false reports or false
statements to be made to the govern

show cause why his fee, which is fixed
at $25, for service in the divorce suit OF
Mrs. sarah Edwards against her hus-

Attorneys Hulslander and Vosburg

prior to the action in divorce by Mrs.
Edwards there was an application for
divorce made by Edwards in January
term, 1889, She followed this
up by bringing suit for deser-
ton. The desertion suit was
compromised by an agreement Of Ed
wards to pay his wife the sum OF
81, 600, all costs and her household
goods. And it was stipulated in the
agreement that no further sum would
be paid in any divorce proceedings that
might arise. They were married on
May &c, 1887, and decree in divorce
prayed for by Mrs. Edwards was
signed and granted on Jan. 8, 1894.

PLANS FOR ARBITRATION.
Features of Two Measures Whose
Purpose Is to Abolish Strikes and
Substitute Peaceful Methods.

WASHINGTON, July 6 Two plans
for arbitrating strikes have been form
ulated into bills by Representatives
Kiefsr and Tawney, OF Minnesota, and
have been referred by the house com
mittee on labor to subcommittee OF
five, of which Representative Erd-
mann, of Pennsylvania, is chairman.

vent hostilities pending the settlement

fourth. while the governor of the state
In which the trouble occurred would

Whenever botn parties agree to ar BIZ

joined from employing other employees
until he could show satisfac-
tory cause to the board why he is not
satisfied with the decree. Labor unions
are recognized by the bill as having
the right to become party to an arbi-
tration proceeding.
Representative Tawney's bill is more
limited in its scope, providing for set
tlement Of the controversies between
railroad corporations doing an inter-
state commerce business. or carrying

would be secured by petition to a cir.
