Federation of Labor Executive
Council Returns Decision in
Brewers Difficulty,

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE execu-
tive council of the American Federation
OF Labor today Endorsed the strike OF
the textile workers of Augusta, Ca, and

the strike and locked-out people.
A charter was issued to the Especial

Order tailors'
1t also was decided that a federation
or the clothing industry be organized by
representatives of the Journeymen Tail
ors' Union of America, the United Gar
ment Workers Of America, and the Spe-
clal Order Clothing Makers union.
A decision was rendered on the con-
troyersy of jurisdiction between the Ma
tional Union of United Brewery Work
men, the International Steam Engineers
and the Brotherhood of Stationary Fire
men, which in part is as follows:
THE United Brewery Workers Nation
al union is hereby directed to revoke all
charters issued since the Louisville con-
vention to engineers and firemen's unions
The decision of the Louisville and
Scranton conventions regarding the is
suance of charters to engineers and fire
mems unions must be complied with.

MORGAN ABSOLUTE
IN L. & N. CONTROL
Statement Issued Declares There
Will Be No Corner, and No Further
Contest for stock of the Road.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE following
authoritative sta tement respecting the
Louisville & Nashville situation was
made today by member of the firm of
j. p. Morgan & Co.:
1.-THE public as well as the specua
tive community, should bear in mind
these three things:
First-There will be no corner.
control
''Third-J. P. Morgan absolutely con-
trolls Louisville & Nashville
1.-The first is assured by Mr.. Gates and
the manner in which he has disposed of
his stock. Mr.. Belmonts statements are
assurances as to the second and J. p
Morgan 81 Co. are sponsors fer the
third"
Furthermore, Louisville & Nashville
will be operated in the future as it has
been III the past, and there will be no
change.
- p. Morgan & Co. say positively that
the present status of the road is the
same as it has been heretofore, except
that j. F. Morgan controls and directs
absolutely and without qualification.
Those who intimate that Mr. Gates
might possibly make trouble in the flu
ture or that he is in any position to
do so are much mistaken. The only fac
tor to be reckoned on in the manage
ment OF the L.. 81 ~ is Mr. Morgan
If that fact is borne in mind there will
be no misunderstanding or guessing. fhe5
situation is controlled by him. and that
should be sufficient guarantee to every
body" -.-.

New York Letter.

NEW YORK, April 17.-Young Alfred
Vanderbilt is managing and running the
Pioneer, which has commenced it's daily
trips to Ardsley for public hire and the
S. or more charged for the conveyance Of
passengers will go into the young Million
aires pocket and help him, it may be
hoped, to make both ends meet.
In thus running a coach for public con-
veyanee Alfred Vanderbilt is merely re-
naming true to the traditions of his
family. The old commodore the founder
of the dynasty, ran a ferryboat, the
second and third generation ran railroads
for public hire, and now the fourth gen.
GRAFTON runs a coach. The seats are at
the disposal Of any one who chooses to
pay the modest price asked. The enter
prise Is likely to prove a considerable sue
cess, as there are many people who will
feel certain charm in having a man
worth some $4,000, 900 for coachman.
Veterans Well Protected
A new lease Of official life is given to
many Tammany officeholders by an
amendment to the civil service laws which
was slipped quietly through the legis-
lature and became a law on March 90
Mayor Low. when he begins 10 use the
power given under the sweep bills he
asked the Legislature to pass. will find
himself much hampered by this special
amendment to the civil service laws. He
viii find that his hands have been COM
pletely tied as far as veterans of the
civil and Spanish wars and former mem
bers of the volunteer fire department are
concerned.
For several years veterans have been
given the preference under the civil
srvice laws of the state but under the
new amendment they will continue TO
draw their present salaries no matter
