LABOR union TROUBLES
CONSIDERED AT a MEETING OF THE
CENTRAL BODY.
III Police Dispatch Company Mat
ter still Agitating the Work.
ers' Organization.

Central Labor Union last night spent
much time in discussing the reports of the
grievance committee. The settlement of
the differences between the Structural Iron
Workers Union and the Brown-Ketcham
iron works was referred to the executive
board of the central body. which will meet
the iron workers tonight. The wage ques-
ton is not figuring in the contest, the COM
pany being willing TO pay the scale. The
contention is over defining what a struc-
tural iron worker is. The men are at work
pending a settlement.
The grievance of the Marble Cutters and
Settlers Union against the Tile Settlers
Union is yet to be settled. The men en-
plOyed on the Claypool building struck be-
cause a tile setter had been employed to do
their work.
The indianapolis Police Dispatch Com
pany matter was again before the meet
ing and President Feltman and Secretary
Slough were instructed to call upon the
board and get a definite answer as to
whether or not it will grant police powers
to the new company. A communication
was received from Deputy City Attorney
Bell stating that the board had referred
the matter to the legal department of the
city and that the department is making a
thorough investigation of the company and
it's Incorporation. The laws of the State
prohibit the granting of police powers to
Pinkerton agencies or police service of that
character. Central Labor Union charges
that the new company purposes to establish
such a system. President Feltman and
Secretary Slough will demand that the
Board of Safety give its answer, and then
il will be referred TO the executive board.
While it was not in order, President Felt
man allowed considerable discussion over
the Board of Safety granting police powers
to such organizations. Some of the dele
gates wanted the central body TO ask the
two candidates for mayor to express them
selves on this question and secure pledges
that they will put a limitation upon such
grants. Some said that organized labor
should be represented on the Board of
Safety.
The central body gave authority for the
asking of a charter from the American
Federation of Labor for the Foundry Help
ers' Union. a new organization that has
been formed by President Feltman. A new
law of the Iron Molders' Union allows ma
chine molders to become members of that
organization. This does away with their
former union and leaves the helpers with
out an organization.
There were many delegates present from
cities in the gas belt. who were on their
way to Brazil to attend the convention of
the State Federation of Labor, which con-
venes to-day. Nearly all of the local unions
and Central Labor Union will send dele
gates to the convention.

The Burgomnster" at EneIish.s.

The little boys that sit up in the gallery
began 10 whistle 9Th Tale OF the Kanga-
roo long before the curtain rose on the
prologue OF The B-urgOmaster'' nj En-
glish's Opera House last night. Their en-
thusiastic key was taken by the rest of
the audience when the show began. and
the noisy applause all through the three
hours was rich with music-hal fervor.
This particular "Burgomaster' company
began its season last night. but the enter
tainment did not f%alter: it went with a
rush. The unusually strong male chorus
that marked the show last season-being
especially valuable in the Indian song in
the prologue and the unaccOmpanied col
lege song in the first act-is retained. And
the girls that crowd the stage are mar
velOusly young and new. What they lack
I'm skill they make up 10 a degree I'm fresh
ness. Two or three of them seem almost
too young for the whirl OF skirts.

TOO MANY ANARCHISTS.
Mine Secretary Says Spring
Valley story Is Absurd.

Secretary Wilson, of the United Mine
Workers. said yesterday that in his opinion
the dispatch from Spring Valley, H., stat
ing that there were five hundred Anarch-
lists there, is false. Spring Valley is a min
ing town and Mr.. Wilson is we'll acquainted
with that vicinity. He said: The entire
population of Spring Valley is but about
5000. and according to this dispatch. and
considering the recognized ratio OF adult
male population, IL would mean that near
~ half of the men there are Anarchists.
j know better than that. Then If it were
true. do you think that a committee would
be appointed in a place where half of the
male population are Anarchists. TO make
certain demands and request that all of
them be discharged by a ~company?"

CASE OF JOHN D. SHEA.
Discrimination of Police against Sa-
loon Alleged.

Friends of John d. Shea, % West Pearl
street. who was arrested late Saturday
night and charged with keeping his place
open at illegal hours. claim his arrest was
due to his antagonism TO the Taggart adj
ministration. He was a stanch supporter
of William l.. Moore, and is now for Book
walter. At the time of his arrest he in
quired of Patrolmen Jordan and Cronin
why he was arrested and John Kiley's
place opposite was allowed to remain open.
The officers told him they were acting un-
der instructions. and Shea was taken to
heaquarters, while Kiley kept on doing
business after IL o'clock, at which time
the law, which the police are supposed to
enforce. says they should close. When
the case was called for trial yesterday
Shea asked for a jury trial, and Judge
DAILY continued the case. with the an
nouncement that trial must be had at the
convenience of the court. The jury trial
is said TO be only for the purpose of bring
ing out facts relative. to the liberties al
lowed some saloon keepers and discrim-
ination practiced by the police against
others.

INCORPORATED AT ALBANY, WITH A
NOMINAL CAPITAL.
The Mackays Are Heavily Interested

stock of 100000. was Incorporated here to-
day by John w. Mackay. Clarence II.
Mackay. Edward c. Platt. Albert Beck.
George {. Ward, Albert b. Chandler and
William W. Cook.
Respecting the purposes and prospects OF
the new company Mr.. Mackay said to-day
that the Commercial Pacific Cable Com
pany had been organized for the purpose
OF laying a submarine cable from Cali
fornia to the Philippine islands by way OF
Honolulu. in the Hawaiian islands. The
length of the cable will be about $500 miles.
the part To be first laid between California
to the Hawaiian islands. This portion.
Mr.. Mackay expects, Will be in operation
within nine months. TIL time required
for the laying of the rest OF the cable.
from the Hawaiian stands 10 the Philip
pine islands. will depend upon how quickly
the cable can be manufactured. but Mr..
Mackay believes the whole cable viii be
completed within two years from this date.
On Aug. D Mr.. Mackay made applica-
ton TO the United States government for
landing rights In California and the Ha-
waiian islands and the Philippine islands.
The new company, Mr.. Macksy announces.
is willing TO lay the cable on the same
terms and conditions at San Francisco.
Honolulu and Manila. SO far as landing
rights are concerned, as were imposed by
the United States government on the cable
lines which have been landed on the At
lantic coast OF the United States. The new
company does not ask any subsidy or any
guaranty, which il Mr.. Msckay's reason
for believing there will be no trouble in
agreeing with the government on the terms
and conditions upon which the cable will
be landed.
The new cable. when IL reaches the Phil
ippines. will connect at that point with the
present submarine cable running from the
Philippines TO China. a direct cable route
from HIM and Japan TO the United States
will thereby be established. At present
cablegrams from China TO the United
States have 10 be sent by way Of Europe.
Mr.. Mackay said that the present cable
rates from the United States 10 the Phil
ippines and 10 China and Japan would be
reduced. when the; new cable Is laid. from
30 to 90 per cent.

Light and Power Company yesterday filed
a petition with the County Commissioner

ton. says that ii was not able to begin
work on April ], but that it now has ar
engagements completed and contracts signed
for the immediate construction of the
road, and that work will begin in thirty
days. The company gave as a reason for
not meeting the requirements of the for
mer franchise that il was unable 10 finance
the road. The financial question has now
been settled. il is said. and work will begin
next Monday if the new franchise is grant
ed. The hearing will be concluded to-day.
