RIGHT TO SALARY DENIED.
The Comptroller Holds That an EN-.
p1Oye Wns Not on Duty.

plOye Wns Not on Duty.
The Comptroller of the Treasury being
requested by the Secretary of the Navy
for his decision regarding the raise of
salary of w. w. Dtnwiddie from skilled
laborer'' at $40 per annum to assistant
on equatorial" Naval Observatory, Bu-
reau of Equipment, Navy Department, at
81, 900 per annum, said In his answer, in
part: 1T is only when the appointment
is made to take effect from the date of
the oath of office that 1t is a condition
precedent to the right to salary.
THE appointment of Mr.. Dinwiddie is
not made 10 take effect from date of TAX
ing the OATH and he .an therefore take
the oath at any time before payment with
out affecting his right to salary prior
thereto
Two things must occur after the ap-
pointment before it can take effect so
as to give the right to salary. First. the
appointment must be accepted second,
the duty required by law under it must
be performed. No formal acceptance is
required; and as the appointment con-
ferred a benefit on Mr.. Dinwiddie accept
ance may be presumed.
His appointment, however, was to an
office in the executive departments here
in Washington, and under the law he is
required to perform his duties here ex-
cept when on leave of absence or spe-
cially detailed for duty outside of Wash
ington. Mr. widdes detail as a skill
ed laborer expired with his position as a
skilled laborer, and as no attempt was
made to detail him as an assistant on
equatorial from the date this appoint
ment was made to take effect he was
not on duty required by law until he re-
ported for duty here in Washington.
Il have, therefore, to inform you that
Mr. Dinwiddie is not entitled to the sal
airy of an assistant on equatorial from
July to July %. 1901 for the reason that
he was not on duty as required by law
during t...c period.

LABOR LEADERS ADJOURN.
American Federat,on's Executive
Council Finishes It's Work.

Council Finishes It's Work.
The Executive Council of the American
Federation of Labor, which has been in
session for several days at headquarters,
| Typographical Temple, completed Its
work last night and adjourned. All the
members of the council were present ex-
cent Vice President Hayes, of Philadel-
phia. who is confined to his home by ILL
ness.
Applications from a number of organi-
cations were received, asking to be re-
leved from the payment Of the scent as
sessmeIt levied by the Executive Council
in the interests of the International AS
sociation of Machinists to assist them IN
securing the nine-hour work-day. Ihe
Executive Council decided that the law
of the Federation governing the payment
of assessments is mandatory, and that
unions cannot be exempted from it.
President Gompers and Vice President
Mitchell then gave n detailed report of
their connection with the effort to ad-
lust the strike of the Amalgamated AS
sociation in the plants of the United
States Steel Company, The report was
approved The president was directed to
use every effort to secure the passage of
laws in the Southern States for the aboli-
lion of child labor and for compulsory
education.
Upon demand of the United Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners of America, it
was decided that the ship carpenters un-
ions should come under the jurisdiction of
the Brotherhood. and that workers who
are members of ship carpenters and
calkers' unions should be required to
Join the brotherhood.
The controversy existing for some time
past between the Plumbers Association
and the Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company,
of Milwaukee, was taken up, the organiZa-
ton being represented by w. J. Spencer,
of Chicago and the company represented
bv Z. L. Philips, of Milwaukee. After
a lengthy hearing, 1t was decided that
these gentlemen. together with Vice Pres
ident James Duncan, should be consti-
:uted a committee for the purpose OF en-
deavoring to arrive at an amicabie ad-
justment of the dispute. The committee
subsequently reported an agreement by
which the company Will employ union
workmen exclusively. In investigating
the original matter in controversy, II was
declared that the hostile action or the
union against the company was not III
conformity with the terms OF the agree
ment then existing, but the. Executive
Council further declared that agreements
Of the character refeIred 10, Dy "ndch men
tractors antagonistic to union labor with
union men, are inconsistent with the IN
terests of the labor and trades union
movement.
In the controversy between the Station
ary Firemen's Union and the brewery
Workers Union of Cincinnati. j. Morton,
of Chicago. appeared In behalf OF the
former organization. IL was resolved
that the complaint be referred to Presi-
dent Gompers to secure further and deil-
mite Information in regard thereto. and TO
~. DaNfI "a n
ell by mail at a later date. The latter
was also authorized to endeavor to secure

a settlement of ,he dispute between the

a settlement of the dispute between the
brotherhood of Stationary Firemen, and
the Cudahy Packing Company, of Kan
sas City, Mo.
Applications from large number of
sections of the country were received, re-
questing the appointment of special men
as organizers in their respective districts.
The entire matter was referred to Presi-
dent Gompers, with instructions to carry
out the wishes as far as the funds of the
organization will justify. The sum of 500
was appropriated in behalf of the Inter-
national Association of Watch Case En-
gravers to aid 1t in it's work for more
thorough organization. The application OF
the Central Labor Union of Niagara Falls,
of the same city upon the I'VE don t
patronize" list of the A. +. of L. was en-
dorsed.
The American Federation of Musicians
complained that the Central Labor Union
of Tonawanda, N. Y. has admitted local
of musicians which is not attached to the
parent body. The Executive Council de-
cided to notify the Central Labor Union
that, in accordance with the laws of the
organization, representation to the iso-
lated union must not be granted, and that
an effort be made to have this local allied
with the A. +. of NJ.
President Gompers was directed to or
ganize an international union of rubber
workers of the country. and to endeavor
to secure an order from the Commissioner
OF Navigation prohibiting the towing of
more than one barge on the Great Lakes
or while at sea, unless such vessels are
capable of taking care of themselves at
sea under sail or steam; and in the event
of the inability of the Commissioner to
direct such change, bill is to be draft
ed and introduced in Congress for that
purpose. The reason for this action is
that one steam vessel often tows a large
number of barges; that they break away
from the tow while at sea. with eonse-
quent loss of the crews and of the prop
erty.
resolution was adopted that the State
endeavor to secure free books for the
children in the public schools. num-
ber of cases in dispute between organiza-
tions and employers were then taken up
and decided. or Investigations ordered and
efforts made for their adjustment. The
Executive Council adjourned to meet at
Scranton, Pa. December 2, 1901.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. 2O-Ex-Justice
Robert c. Titus is reluctant to undertake
| the defence of Czolgosz, and said tonight
| that he would not make known his de-
cision until tomorrow. Judge Titus re-
turned from Milwaukee this morning and
conferred at once with ex-Justice Lewis,
with whom he is associated by appoint
ment of Judge Emery.
Late in the day he consulted with John
G. Milburn, at whose home President Nc
Kinley died Mr. Alilburn stands at the
head of the bar in Western New York.
He. too urged Judge Titus to accept the
assignment. Justice Edward w. Hatch,
of the Supreme Court, now sitting in
Brooklyn, also consulted with Judge IT.
tus. They were on the bench of the Su-
perior Court of Buffalo together.
Democratic politicians with whom Judge
Titus talked today want to dissuade him
from acting. They want to nominate him
for county judge surrogate this fali,,
and believe that If he appears as attorney
for Czolgosz it will hurt him with those
who cannot be made to understand how
is came about.
Judge Titus said he would make known
his decision later. Subpoenas were issued
today requiring all the witnesses to be IL
court Monday morning. Justice Truman
c. White will try the case. A QUIET eff
fort was made by the Bar Association to
induce District Attorney Penney to notice
the case in Part /, where Justice Henry
A. Childs will sit, as he is the senior JUS
tice of this district. Mr.. Penney did not
care to take the case out of the court to
which IL would go in the usual course.
District Attorney Penney said tonight:
''All stories purporting to tell what has
been discovered by the bacteriologists in
their examination of the cultures taken
from the Presidents body and the bullets
found In the assassin's revolver are cut
from whole cloth. The men to whom
that work has been entrusted are not yet
In position to tell me their conclusions. If.
in fact, they have reached conclusions,

"The bacteriologists are under orders TO

port in time for my information a. the

OUR GAS WELLS AGAIN.

THE city has just co mpleted an
other good gas well. 1t is in
southeast part of town, on a
lot owned by Jonathan Ellis, and
is fully up to the standard of the
best. The city now has so many
strong wells and so favorably locat-
ed that the council will not drill any
more for the present and it does
look like they would not have to
drill any more for years to come.
We now have wells to supply
abundance of gas for all city needs,
and four or five good strong ones
that might be turned over TO any
manufacturing interest that needed
them. Again we insist that the
board of trade be recognized and
an effort made to let the world know
what we have. There are hundreds
of manufacturing concerns that
would like to locate in gas field
and would come here did they but
know what we have. Let's tell them.
There is nothing now to hinder
Chanute from soon becoming city
of three or four times its present
size and being the wealthiest town
in the United States. The city owns
its fine water plant and Its gas plant.
The gas plant is a great money
conner and as the town grows and
the demand for gas increases, will
become much more so. AS before
stated, the city owns the plant and
holds leases on large tract of gas
land. There can be no doubt but
the supply of gas will be sufficient
for many years to come.
1t is now the duty of the council
to guard, jealousy the city,s rights
and not allow them to be abridged
or fortified. We are opposed 10
monoplies and cry loudly against
them, when the other fellow has
them, but when we have the monop-
ly, we should see to it that we reap
the benefit.
The council should scrutinize very
closely any franchises that may be
asked for. The future has unmeas
ured possibilities for Chanute if we
do not tritter our advantages away.
We will soon have our gas plant
paid for now and can then offer any
kind of an inducement we may see
fit in the way of gas to encourage a
new enterprise. At present our rates
to manufacturers are too high but
we will soon have it in our power to
change that.
Manufacturers want our gas and
know they must come where it is.
They will soon be wanting to come
if we but let them know we have it
in unlimited quantities.
