PREFERENCE ONLY PARTIAL
Veterans say Law applying Ia red
erni Oniccs Helps only Those Dis
charged for Disability.

ST. LOUIS. Mo, Jan. Tn an inter
view todaw Commandor-in Chief Leo Ras-
sieur of the Grand Army Of the Republic,
referring to past and present Legislation for
the benefit of civil war veterans who may
wish TO secure employment in the public
| service, said TO a representative OF the
Associated Press:
The very much mistaken idea that pref
erence Is now enjoyed by all survivors of
the civil war for CcrtiiCatiOn to and ap-
pointment I'm the Civil service under the ma
| tional government and that the bill, II. II.
5779, the passage of which by the house
| under suspension of the rules on Decem-
Der. was .unsuccessfully urged by Repre-
sentative Bromwell of Ohio, simply ex-
| tended this preference to the soldiers of
the recent war evidences II lack of knowl-
edge on the subject so general that II ought
to be corrected
The fact is this: Section 175i, Revised
Statutes, United states, PASSED March 9.
| 1865, provides that persons honorably dis
| charged from the military or naval service
| by reason of disability resulting from
| wounds or sickness incurred I'm the line
of duty shall be preferred for appointments
! to civil Offices, etc, etc" And this is the
only law bearing on preference It was in
tended To benefit the eN-uniOn soldier and
! sailor. This law has benefited those OF tho
! regular army and navy who enlisted since
! 1865 to the extent of 20 per cent or course
! the discharge must show that II was based
| on disability. This being so, the law Is now
! applicable to all regulars and the yolun-
| teers Of the recent war or those serving IN
| the Philippines, who have been or may be
! 'honorably discharged from the military or
| naval service for disability resulting from
wounds or sickness incurred I'm the line of
! duty" but not to others.
| There is not ana never has been any pref
! erence enjoyed by men who served out their
| terms of enlistment or, untl the close of
! hostilities, in the civil war If IA man was
| wounded twenty times, refusing discharge
| for disability by reason thereof. he has no
| legal preference whatever in the civil serv-
| Ice. Many such cases there were. BY u
| rule the ipse diXit of the commission, with
out authority Of law, veterans Of the civil
| war get a place on the eligible list at 81
| per cent the minimum for others being 20
| per cent but, unless privileged under sec
| tiOn l75l, Revised Statutes, they remain
at the bottom of the list. 1t IL conces-
sion without value.
The efforts of committees of the Grand
Army during twenty years to change this
in the interest of all who served faithfully
and well have failed The mistaken idea
! TO which ! have referred without regard
| to the final result of the latest effort 10
secure these men justice, ought to be cor

SILK MEN DESIRE RELIEF
Assert that DOctoring of Goods In
Dycing in Running the
Industry.

NEW YORK, Jan "A conference has
been arranged for next week at Paterson,
n j., between Congressman Stewart and a
committee of silk manufacturers with the
view Of preparing a bill to introduce in
congress TO require a label on "dynamlted"
or weighed silks. The manufacturers have
concluded that the practice OF weighing
silk is what has brought 1t into disrepute
and almost ruined the industry. BY the use
Of bchloride Of tin in the dyeing process
the dyer gets two pounds out of every
pound that comes to his hands.
This has produced a great reduction in
prices, but the goods are inferior On
exposure to the air the blchloride Of tin
crystalizes and the crystals cut the fabric
upon the slightest wear or friction. At
first the "dynamited" silk has the same
handsome and brilliant appearance that
the bonailde article has, but as II does not
wear, ii has given silk a bad name gen
orally and the industry languishes. The
manufacturers who insist on having their
silk treated with pure dye only are greatly
handicapped, and they are now endoayoring
to get the aid OF congress Their purpose
Is TO have a law passed requiring "dyna-
mited" goods both foreign and domestic, to
be labeled, so that the purchaser may
know what he is buying.

TWO MEN CAME TO BLOWS.
MIR. J. w. Williams and a Photographer Have
a Row Over Picture.

Mr.. J. w: Williams, of Barton Heights
and an artist. whose place of business
is on West Marshall Street, engaged III
a fistcuf Monday over a picture belong
ing to Mr. Williams and in the possession
of the artist. The fight did not last long
and Mr.. Williams came away none the
worse for his experience, with the cN-
ception Of slight cut over the eye.
About two years ago, it appears, an
agent representing a firm came to Mr.
Williams" residence, when he was away
'drU1nining for the. Arnmons Pickle Com
panN, and secured from Mrs. Williams
a picture of her father. telling her that
he would enlarge the. same and that II
she didn't like the picture when COM
pleted the proof would be returned to
her and that no charge would be made.
Since that time the firm has changed
hands and Mr.. Williams has been unable
to find out who had the picture. Mon
day he received a letter telling him that
the picture WAS in the hands Of the firm
on West Marshall Street. and that II he
would call he could secure same.
Acting upon the letter Mr.. Williams
called upon the artist and asked for the
picture and discussion ensued and
ended in flows and Mr.. Williams was
struck over the left eye receiving
painf.i, cut. The photographer got sew
eral hard licfs. but was not specially
hurt.
