A COMMONWEAL PETITION
1t is Presented in the Senate Today by Mr..
PETER.
1t Recites the Usual Story About Lack
priatiOns for Public Works.

Senator PETER today presented to the
Senate petition from the combination in
dustrial army. now encamped opposite
Georgetown. The petition asks for imme-
date relief from Congress. and also for the
passage of a bill drawn in the usual COM
monweal form, providing for the employ
ment of all citizens who desire to work upon
public enterprises at s. day for eight
hours work, and for the issue of an enor-
nous quantity of paper money. The petit
tfon which was referred to the committee
on education and labor, is as follows: THE
United States Industrial army is composed
OF many thousands of unemployed American
citizens. and represents, by general consent,
millions Of unemployed. or partly unemploy-
ed and underpaid workmen. They have
naught but their ability to labor to provide
for themselves and families, and the aver
age wealth possessed by them would not
purchase decent coffin. A portion of this
army is now encamped near Washington,
thousands more are on the way, and thous-
ands now languish in jail, who Were driven
by hunger to trespaSs on railroad property.
For years they have peacefully and hopeful
ly awaited for private and public enterprise
to give them work, and their condition is
now such that their loyalty to the laws Of
the land is being put to a severe test, as
witness the violent outbreaks that are be-
coming SO alarmingly frequent, and are SO
ominous of calamity to the nation. Po.iti-
cal liberty Is q n.Cckery where economic
slavery exists. This army IS organized in
the interests of peace, and apart from the
borrowing of transportation in an emer-
Sency Ii has been and will continue to be,
law abiding, half starved and ragged as il
Is, thus showing to the world an example of
patience and endurance and determination
unparalleled in history. Had the time
and facilities, we could have brought a tons
weight of petitions from the poverty strick-
en- masses. They ask for immediate en-
ployment on public works at fair wages, or
else the national assistance to supply their
own wants by cooperative industry; to
have our leading industries nationalized and
the product for service to be furnished at
cost; free coinage Of silver and legal ten
der currency issued direct to the people; 10
have the impor tation Of foreign laborers
stopped until there is a demand for tn cir
labor, or until the serfdom of the wage
Garner Is abolished. Therefore, as the hour
or adjournment approaches and our needs
are urgent, we, the undersigned, at the re-
quest of the army and the millions we rep
resent, do respectfully petition your honor
able body to pass the bill hereunto attached,
or, falling in that, to pass some measure of
immediate and ten porary relief"
The petition was signed by nine members
OF the army styling themselves an advisory
board, as follows: Lewis c. Fry, Arthur Vi
nette, Thomas Calvin, Frank Campbell
Charles l.. Kelley, George Howard, g. II.
Thomas, Charles Clark and Allen Jennings.
All of these names were signed in the same
handwriting.

A BRITISH INVASION.
A Little Sparrow Interrupts the Stnia
Senate Proceedings


There Is an old saying that tells about
good luck flying out of house when a
bird flies In the window, or something to
that effect If this be true. the Senate ~
the United States should hasten to take out
a collective accident policy, for the ban is
now on Just before o'clock yesterday.
while the sundry civil bill was under heat
ed discussion. a small sparrow flew through
one OF the windows of the east front of the
senate wing, Immediately over the bronze
DOORS and, skimming past the great paint
Ing Of the canons of the Yellowstone and
the Colorado, darted through the door 90
Ing into the ladies' gallery. The doorkeener
made convulsive but futile grab at the
or dismissal. The bird circled around over
the bald heads Of the Senator's In search Of
foliage. Senator Brice came through a
cloak room door in search Of his clerk, and
made line for his luxuriant locks. Ami
Mr. Brice changed his mind and popped
back into the cloak room, where the aroI-
Lnarls bottles were also popping merrily
Inc bird was disaI pointed, and, after max
Ing one or two Intellectual turns about the
chamber. f1Cttered down to the floor In the
vicinity CT the desk of Senator Harris. The
Vice President raped for order. There
was a loud senatorial smoker, and five
pages ran over to catch the bird. The
British guest was spry, however and for
time eluded the boys, who scrambled
over the floor as though they were playi az
marbles. The bird tried to find a refuge
behind Senator Berry's clutches, which lay
on the floor, but one of the youngsters
made quick reach and secured the drab
chap. Mr.. Harris insisted upon inspecting
the bird before the page left The chamber
and when 1t was shown to him he told the
lad to take 1t down to the guard room
which vas altogether too much for the
boys gravity.
1t may be recalled that some weeks ago
sparrow flew into the Senate chamber
while the Senate was not in session. 1t is
being gravely discussed this afternoon
whether todays visitor was the same one
