SECRETARY LONGS REPLY.
The Central Labor Union Was sur
prised.

The only matter considered at the meet
ing of the Central Labor Union last even
ing was the construction of the tele-
phone line between the Washington navy
yard and Indian Head. The contract for
the construction of this line has been let
by the Navy Department to Elmer p.
Morris, of New York, who, it was stated.
is violating the eight-hour law in work
ing his employees. AT the last meeting of
the union the secretary was instructed
to write Secretary Long and acquaint
him of this fact. and his reply occasioned
much discussion last evening. Secretary
Long informed the union that, since the.
contract had been let, the department is
not responsible for the actions of the
contractor in regard to the number of
hours he worked his employees.
a committee was appointed b. the union
TO make further inquiry into the matter
and II was decided that, should the facts
be found as reported, to proceed TO prose-
cute the contractor for violating the

The Commissioners Greatly Dis
appointed.

Secretary Gage threw bombshell into
the smooth course of District OF Columbia
affairs yesterday by means of simple
footnote appended to the estimates for its
expenditures for the coming fiscal year. In
this he stated that he considered the APP
propriations recommended by the Com
missioners too high, and yet found HIM
self unable to designate any particular
item as being in excess of what was need
full. He therefore recommended that Con-
gress should investigate the matter and
should cut down the Commissioners esti-
mate to the tune of 100000.
The effect OF this unexpected action is
far reaching. vitiating the entire sugges-
ton of the Commissioners and making all
results exceedingly doubtful. Had the
Secretary indicated the items that he
thought needless or excessive, the others
might be considered fairly fixed. But un-
der his course of action Congress will feel
warranted in striking out or cutting down
any item that il may see fit
In truth the Secretary cannot be said to
have recommended any item. He has sim
ply quoted the estimates of the Commits
sioners and suggested that they be re-
duced about 20 per cent, but he has not
said whether this ought to be applied pro
rata to all or specifically to some.
Following are the amounts recommend
ed by the Commissioners:

IN BEHALF OF CAPT. BEACH.
Resolution to he Introduced In
Congress In His interest

A resolution will probably be introduced
in Congress today by prominent senator
requesting the President TO submit to
Congress the petitions from citizens of the
District of Columbia for the retention of
Capt. Lansing H. Beach in the office Of
Engineer Commissioner of the District
The resolution has been drafted and is
now in the hands of the senator who is to
introduce it. a warm personal friend of
Capt. Beach
This resolution will be the first move in
the coming effort to have Congress inves-
tigate the administration of Commission
ers Wight and Black. Ii is made with the
understanding among the friends of Capt.
Beach and the opponents of former Com
missioner Black that 1t Will be followed by
thorough overhauling of the record of
the latter while he was at the head of the
engineer department of the District gov
ernment 1t is said that the people in Con-
gress who favor the retention of Commits
sioner Beach is growing every day, as the
merits of the matter are discussed, and
that a most interesting and animated dis
cussion of District affairs as they have
been run in the last two years is likely to
result.
1t was learned yesterday that a petition
similar to the others in behalf of Capt.
Beach is now being circulated among
Washington lawyers. The petition has al
ready received the signatures of a large
number of the prominent members of the
bar.
