Celebrate the 4th.

There 1s every reason why every
community in this country should
specially celebrate our natal day
this year At war with foreign
power, with the success of our arms
apparent wherever a conflict has
occurred, and with intense patriot
ism manifested to insure a brilliant
termination to the present hostilities,
which will reflect further glory upon
our country and shine for years to
come, it would seem that single
suggestion of a celebration would
result in prompt and energetic
action by the people of the commun-
ity. Such is not the case here how
ever and two calls for meetings to
discuss the method of celebration,

VIII Re Passed This Session.

General Secretary-Treasurer Hayes, OF
the Knights or Labor, received a letter
from Senator Mcmillan a few days ago
stating that in all probability there
would not be any District legislation Mt
the present session Of Congress.
This letter was in reply of one sent by
Mr.. Hayes asking for a hearing before the
Senate district Committee on the Metro
politan Railroad extension bill. The
Knights of Labor, it is understood, viii
make this bill the test of all legislation
in favor of organized labor. In his letter
to Senator Mcmillan, Mr.. Hayes noted
the fact that the Metropolitan Railway
Company had discharged a number OF its
employees, it is alleged because they We're
members OF the order OF Knights of
Labor. The company now is under
another head Major Harries-but 1t is
claimed it is controlled by the same board
