mand of the introducer.
Full Assessment of Property.
With Representative Lane in the chair
the house resolved itself into committee of
the whole and devoted the remainder of the
afternoon to the consideration of house roll
4i2, by Hall, to authorize the governor to
appoint a commission of five persons to coll
lect information and draft bill TO procure
the full assessment of all property and a
Just and equitable levy OF taxes and
more complete collection of the same. and
to appropriate $4,000 for the expenses of
the commission.
Mccarthy opposed the measure on the
grounds that the existing revenue laws would
meet all demands If enforced by the county
commissioners He laid particular stress on
the provision OF the laws which require the
assessment OF all property at fair cash
value. Taylor Of Custer called attention to
the numerous platforms on the subject Of
revenue that had been incorporated In po-
litical platforms in past years.
BY viva voce vote Representative Halls
bill was indefinitely postponed, this action
being taken on motion Of Sprccher of Colfax,

Detroit, Mich. May 23.-A meeting
Of the Metal Trades association, EN-.
bracing nearly all of the largest con-
Germs employing machinists in De.

and it was decided to stand firm in
opposition to the demands of the strik'

not to import men to take the places
of the striking machinists, as it was
feared such action might bring about
trouble. The men are still as firm in
their determination to insist upon the
demands as when they went out on a
strike. Business Agent Gore of the
machinists' union said that all the
union men in the city were out and
now that they had prevailed upon Is
non-union men employed by one firm
to quit work. No efforts to arbitrate

Kansas City, May 23.-S. G. Peden,
one Of the two St. Clair county judges
recently sent to jail for refusing to
order tax levy to pay interest on
bonds for q railway in that county
that was never built, is said to be
willing to obey the federal courts
mandate. Mob law had previously
been threatened In St. Clair county
at the slightest sign of paying for the
bonds and if Judge Peden should agree
to the levy It is believed by federal
officials here that the citizens Of that
county will deal severely with him.
For years the judges of that county
have refused to order the levy, and
when ordered to do so different sets
Of Judges have been ordered sent to
jan by federal courts sit+ing in Kan

not accepted he will obey the order
Of the federal court and sign an order

New York, May 23.-The conference
committees of the Metal Trades asso'

held a conference for nearly four
hours and the two resolutions offered,
the one embodying the demand of the
employers that the men return to

other resolution securing to the en-

ton of wages, were both lost by tie
votes and were referred to the two
associations for vote Of the organi-

taken during the day and that there
will be another conference in the
evening, though it may be found that
several days will be needed to obtain
a vote. This leaves the strike In
