LABOR WILL PARADE.
Local Federation Offers Its support
to the Recepffon

The local Federation of Labor has fallen
into line with the general public for the
purpose of rendering the District troops a
hearty reception on the occasion of their
home coming. AT largely-attended
meeting of that organization held last
evening a resolution was adopted, in
structing the secretary to offer the SER
vices of the unions affiliated to partici-
pate in street parade should the de-
monstration in honor of the return of the
District troops take that shape.
The committee in charge of the ar
rangemelts for the excursion to be given
on Labor Day to Marshall Hall reported
that several interesting features had been
added to the program and that a large
attendance was already assured.
A violation of the eight-hour law was
reported in connection with the con-
struction of public building in the city,
and a committee was appointed to inves-
tigate the matter and report at the next
meeting.

The stock market yesterday was de-

which the majority of securities were at

there began another selling movement.
The causes were several and nearly all
of them were without foundation. There
was talk of yellow fever at Galveston and
other points in the South, and this was
not confirmed in the later news. The an
thracite coal situation was also called on
by the bears. There was apprehension of
a money stringency. The fear of tight
money helped to prevent its realization
