THE LABOR UNIONS WON.


Joined With the Public Printer In Fight
In the House.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-the house
passed the senate bill to extend the
powers of the director of the census
after striking out the committee amend
ment to authorize the director to con
tract for extra printing with private
contractors. The whole fight was upon
the amendment.
The influence of the public printer
and the labor organizations of the
country were employed against it, and
after lively debate of several hours it
was overwhelmingly defeated. The
publication of the reports of the twelfth
census. therefore, will be made by the
public printer as IN the past.
