Mr. Dodge said his amendment did not
bind the Government to any route, but
left the subject open to be adjusted In
conference.
He said it was important that tthe
United States should control the tele-
graph fines in Alaska. The idea of his
proposition was to prevent any foreign
government or corporation from en-
tering Alaska with either telegraph or
cable lines.
He adverted to the fact that Cana
dian company was now constructing a
telegraph line with the idea OF crossing
Alaska and laying a cable from the
Alaskan coast across the Northern
Pacific ocean to China
Mr. Carter said the whole matter had
been thoroughly discussed in the COM
nsittee. and he could see no reason why
any number of cable lines should not
be constructed across the Pacific.

BIG FIGHT FOR
EIGHT HOUR DAY
MANY Workmen Go on Strike for
Shorter Hours and Higher Paw.
Thousands Affected.

PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-The demands
of the Allied Building Trades. composed
of nearly all the building trade unions
in this city. for an eishtLnour work day
with Increased pay, were put in force to-
day, and as a result, 5000 men are on a
stl1ske. The trades affected and the num-
be, OF men on strike, are as follows:
NIflwood workers, 442: electrical work
ers, 400: hod-carriers and laborers, 142;
plumbers. including juniors, 75o; paper
hangers, 80; sheet metal workers, 100;
ytean-fltters, 325: floor layers and plan
ners, SO; mosaic tile layers, IS; carpen-
ters. 100; other trades, estimated go
Men in several trades not affiliated with
the Allied Building Trades, quit work this
morning, but many of these returned to
their work during the day, the differences
with the masters having been adjusted.
Labor leaders assert that many of the
trades belonging to the league will have
their men working within a week or ten
days.
The fact that comparatively SO few
men were compelled to strike Is regarded
by labor leaders as favorable for the
membership of the Allied Building
Trades Council which embraces about
e5 per cent of the men employed in the
building trades.
None of the men connected with the
demands were acceded to. The cabinet
makers. who are asking for a nine-hour
day instead OF ten-hour day, without
reduction in pay, did not strike, as their
demands are being farorably received by
the employers, forty-five out of sixty
shops having signed the workmen's S
scale.
The Brotherhood OF Carpenters and
Joiners with astrength of 4,oo0 men,
which is not affiliated with the Allied
Trades League. has received the sigma
lures of 25D individual masters to the
demands of the men.
In many cases the masters in certain
trades have sign1fied their willingness
TO accept the mems demands. but have
steadily refused to recognize the unions
Without a full recognition of the organi-
cation there can be no settlement, the
men say.
There was not the slightest disturbance
throughout the eEday.
