A NATIONAL UNIVERSITY.

Bill For Its Establishment to Be Intro.
duced in Both Houses.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE bill to
establish the University of the United
States will be introduced in both houses
of congress during the week.
The bill provides for an institution
of the highest possible type for the
graduates of accredited colleges or uni.
versities only, with special reference to
the work of original research and in.
vestigation in all important fields of
inquiry.
The present bill is the outgrowth of
more than a hundred years of agita.
ton. The thought Of a national uni.
,ersity first came to Washington while
commanding the Revolutionary army.
Subsequently, as president, he repeat.
eddy urged its establishment, and in his
last will and testament left $50, 900 in
stocks as a first endowment, the inter.
est to be compounded.
1t is the intention of the national uni.
versity committee that the government
shall cooperate in the establishment of
the proposed university, and it is intend.
ed that the bill shall be pressed to early
passage, SO that July y, 1899, the Tooth
anniversary Of Washington's bequest,
shall witness at least the practical be.
ginning of what should become the
leading university of the world.

President of the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor Reviews
the Year.
Strikes Have Been Rather Nu-
merous and Mostly for
Higher Wages.
Shorter Hour Movement, Compul-
sorry Railroad Arbitration
and Other Questions.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. l4.-Presi.
dent Gompers read his annual report
to the convention Of the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor. He said:
With two exceptions, all our affiliated
national unions report a large increase
of local unions and in membership.
There is an increase Of about 81, 900
members in the organizations affiliated.
There have been quite a number of
strikes with the past year, but the
change in the causes which have pro.
duced them are worthy of note.
The strikes of this year with few ex.
ceptions have been for higher wages,
shorter hours and the extension and
recognition Of union principles. Our
organizations report with gratifying
unanimity, the very large number Of
successes achieved, advantages gained
and the growth and extension Of the
power of organization enjoyed.
The Movement For Shorter Hours.
The movement to reduce the hours of
labor is always one which commands
the first attention of organized labor.
We hold that no condition is satisfac.
tory nor any solution complete which
fails to eliminate the curse and the de.
grading influences of unemployment,
and so long as this evil shall be with US
our best efforts will be concentrated to
the reduction Of the hours of labor of
all until the desired end is attained.
The establishment of a postal saw.
ings bank system and also a postal tele-
graph system. long since demanded by
organized labor, seems nearer accom-
plishment than at any previous time.
As to Compulsory Arbitration.
It is submitted whether it would not
be wise to modify our position in so far
as to interpose nc objection to the pas.
sage of a law providing for compulsory
arbitration in disputes between the Or.
ganized employees of the railroa DIS and
the railroad companies, and the giving
of an award by such lawful arbitrators;
but we should hesitate to give orr en-.
dorsement to any legislation, state or
national, empowering the compulsory
enforcement Of an award and the spe-
cific enforcement of a contract to labor.
There should be no equivocation as to
u position on any question, much less
one of such importance as immigration.
Recently one Of the branches Of the
federal court decided by a majority
vote that the boycott is illegal. The
suggestion is made that upon any letter
or circular being issued upon a matter
of this character, after stating the name
of the unfair firm and the grievances
complained of, the words we have been
enjoined by the courts from ~boycotting
this concern could be added with ad-
