Oct LEAVE WITH PAY:
BENEFITS ARSENAL MEN.

The Joint legislative committee OF
the Washington navy yard, of which
B. @. Ladd is chairman, has sent out
the following communication anent
the passage by congress of a bill
granting annual leave of absence to
arsenal and navy employees, and which
benefits those connected with Rock
Island arsenal, as heretofore referred
to in The ARGUS:
"The employees of the navy yards
and arsenals have at last secured
recognition from the United States
government in having congress pass
a bill granting an annual leave of alb
sence with pay. Up to the present
time the employees of these two
branches of the government received
no leave at all. Bills have been
passed in congress for the past six
years aud committees of organized
labor have worked hard to have this
bill enacted into law, but never met
with any success.
1.-The joint legislative committee
representing the International Asso-
citation of Machinists, the Pattern
Makers league of North America,
and the Iron Molders' union of North
America have at last been successful
after working hard for the past ID
months, the desired result having
been accomplished. The bill is un-
doubleday one of the most important
and benefits more men than any bill
ever passed which directly benefits
the laboring classes, and well can
organized labor be proud of this vic
tory, for it gives the American me-
chanic chance to develop his mind
it makes him feel that life is worth
living; it gives him chance to re-
cuperate wasted energies and better
fits him for his daily labors."

Kansas Heard From.
A letter to The ARGUS from Wich-
ita. Kas.. states that the Kansas head
camp, in session there yesterday,
adopted the following resolution,
which has q significant ring to it:
Whereas. The delegation from Kan
sas to the last head camp, by resolu-
ton unanimously adopted, pledged it's
support to the reelection of the head
officers then composing the executive
council of our order, and in return So
licited from the executive council the
reappointment of Neighbor j. G
johnson, of our state, to his position
as general attorney; and, whereas,
said delegation faithfully kept its
pledge and each of said head officers
received the unanimous support of
our state delegation in said head
camp; and, whereas, at the first meet
ing of said executive council following
said head camp, four of its members,
disregarding the request of our state,
and as we believe, the unanimous
wish of our order, used their power
as a majority of said executive coun-
Gil and refused to reappoint our Kan
sas neigbbor to his position, but gave
it to one of their own number Now
therefore be it resolved, That this
state camp protest against and de-
nounce said action by said four head
officers as unfraternal, unneighborly
and unjust, an insult to the Kansas
neighbors, and an unwarranted and
undeserved reproach to as capable
and valuable an official as ever served
the Modern Woudmen of America.
