WAsHINGToN, D. c July l3-The labor

to Chicago to settle the strike and the
points at issue The president yester-
day received the following Telegram from
the American Federation of Labor, the
GOmpers organization
The gravity Of the industrial situa-

nary and exceptional action Of a cOncili-
atOry character at the hands of all men.
Recognizing the fact, the executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor and the undersigned executive
officers of national and international
trades unions and brotherhoods Of rail
way organizations Of America are in
conference in this city. We ask you in
the name of the working people and the
entire citizenship Of our country to lend
your influence and give Us your aid so
that the present industrial crisis may
be brought to an end, alike to the adj
vantage Of the people of our country and
the institutions under which we live. We
therefore ask you to come TO Chicago
and meet this conference, or if the state
Of public business does not warrant such
course, that you will deputize some one
as your representative"
Labor leaders and others are talking
of having Olney impeached. They say
boldly that his sympathy with Pullman
overcame his judicial fairness and that
he has done all he could to stamp out
organized labor. They also charge that
he is a corporation lawyer and say that
he is still employed by corporations and
railroads. If he is impeaChed the pro-
ceedings will have to be commenced in
the House. Olney is noted as the most
obnoxious Of all the members of the
cabinet He is not and never has been
the man for the place. There is great
opposition to him, but whether this will
develop into proceedings for impeach
ment is not known.
The Senate is now disposing of appro
priation bills rapidly. Several have al
ready been passed and others will be be-
fore the end of the week.
When congress will adjourn is ques-
ton yet to be answered. The committee
Of conference in the tariff bill has gone
through good portion Of the measure
bat the knotty questions have been care
fully avoided When the consideration
of the free list and especially the sugar
schedule, is commended there will be
war in the air. Some we'll informed
members claim that the Senate tariff
bill will become a law practically as it
stands and that the amendment will be
slight. But many members of the House
especially the supporters of the original
Wilson bill say that number Of amend
ments will be made in the bill before it
goes to the White House and that sugar
will be put on the free list, anyway.
