TWO CLO7HES LINE THIEVES,
Caught by Officer Rice of the Howard Ave.
 nme Precinct Last Fight.

Hue FtcihCC bast IT iSnts
 For some time past numerous com
 plaints have been received at the How
 ard avenue police station that clothes
 were being stolen from clothes lines in
 that section of the city. 1t is probable that last night Officers Rice, Doran and
 Terrence Smith of the Howard avenue
 precinct captured the parties who have
 been responsible for the disappearance
 of clothing. Officer Rice yesterday ob- tained a clue and last night, taking
 with him Officers Doran and Smith, he started to look up the tip. The party
 went to No. 4S9 Oak street about 9 o'clock. In one part of the house at this number live two Italians, Marcel limo Landino and Carmeno Crano for whom woman named Mary Kennedy keeps house. The officers began to search the house and at once found large quantities of clothing, which had evidently been taken from clothes lines. After a thorough search they found a good wagon load of stolen articles of
 clothing and then placed the two Ital- fans under arrest. The woman, Mary
 Kennedy, who keeps house for them, is
 now serving a sixty days sentence in jail for another offence. On her release she willbe arrested for complicity in the clothes line thefts.
 Mrs. Coogan, who resides at the cor ner of Oak and Elliott streets, and Mrs Hoeger, who resides at the corner of Oak and Orchard streets, both of whom have lost articles of clothing from their clothes lines, were summoned to the
 Italians house on Oak street, and iden- tified several pieces of clothing found there as having been tkaen from their lines. Officer Rice went at the case in careful manner. and it is probable that he has sufficient evidence against the two Italians to secure their con- Viction. H

NEGRO LABOR QUESTION.
Discussed at Annual Session of American Federation of Labor

Federation of Labor.
 Nashville, Dec. 16.-The negro ques- tion occupied the major portion of the afternoon at the annual session of the American Federation of Labor, and a heated discussion was brought on by resolution introduced by Henry Lloyd re-affirming the declarations of the fed eration that all labor, without regard to colcr, is welcome to it's ranks. Dele gate Jones of Augusta, Ga., claimed that the white laborer could not com pete with the negro laborer, though or genization would improve conditions President Gompers explained that the movement was not against the negro 1aborer and that the textile workers of the east had been compelled to contrib ute most of their means to teach labor CTS in the south the benefits of organi- zation. He also made the point that the capitalist would profit by the fail- ure of the negro laborers to organize thus making the negro an impediment to labor movements.
 Henry Lloyd said that he did not ask white laborers to take negro laborers into their homes, but true trade unions did not ask questions as to color. c. P. Frahey Of Nashville insisted that the negro was not the equal of the white man, socially or industrially. He grew warm in speaking of President Com pers' remarks regarding the negro In the labor movement and stated that the president had not revoked the commits sion Of national organizer who had patronized a non-union white barber shop in preference to union barber shop. The organizer had simply been allowed to resign.
 Frahey stated that the man was Jesse Johnson, president of the press men. James O'Connell and P. J. Mo Guire spoke for the resolution. MT. Ratchford said that drawing the color line would be a blow to the miners or ganization. ". D. Mahon charged that Jones was not a representative of the the southern trades union, having just joined the ranks President Gfompers then ruled that the discussion must cease. The resolution which has caus- ed the debate was adopted and the del egates went into executive session.

NEW SCHOOL ADMINISTRATIONS.

Next Thursday the new school hoard
will enter upon the control of the
school system Of this city. 1t is a
fine system, one that every citizen Of
Utah's capital is proud of. and desires
to see maintained at high standard
No deterioration nor retrogression In 1t
will be tolerated.
But the campaign which resulted In
the election of the new school board
developed one thing with emphatic
plainness, namely the fixed determine
tion of the taxpayers to insist on
economy in the expenditures of public
funds. Defiance of public sentiment In
this regard Will be followed by mani
festatlons of the resentment of the
people. This is the last year they will
bear with patience the burdens of tax
alton they are carrying.
The significance of all this to the new
school administration is that while ne
cessitles must be provided. Mxuries
must be dispensed with. There must be
no fancy trimmings affixed to the schoo
system, no fancy prices paid for any
thing connected with II, nor must sal
