NEW LABOR BODY FORMED.
Columbia Federation as Rival Of Cen
trail Labor Union.

A new central labor body has been estab-
lished in the city, under the name of the
Columbia Federation of Labor Investiga-
ton this morning failed to reveal the loca-
ton of the new organizations hearquarters
and nothing could be learned as to who
composed its official body. 1t is said by
those connected with labor matters in the
city that the federation Is something in the
nature of the old Building Trades Council
which held forth in this city, as the circu-
lar letter sent out by the new organization
states that "an chartered organizations
will be admitted, regardless of affiliation."
1t was also suggested that the new body
has been formed because of the recent re-
fusal of the Central Labor Union to seat
delegates from the Marine Engineers Ben
eficial Association and the Amalgama ted
Society of Carpenters. and these two or
gantzationS are said to be the probable fac
tors in establishing the new central body
The hrst-named union has no national
head, 1t is said, while the latter is affiliated
through its international body with the
American Federation of Labor. but is not
connected with the Central Labor Union
because of its refusal to secede from the
Executive Council of Building Trades, a
local organization.
The circular sent out by the Columbia
Federation of Labor is addressed to the
wage workers and their friends, and re-
cites:
The Central Labor Union of this city
having refused to extend the hand of fell
lowship to the Marine Engineers Beneficial
Association and the Amalgamated Society
of Carpenters. two trade-union organiZa-
lions, has stamped itself being in favor
of the classes and not of the masses. There
fore it has ceased to represent the best in
terestS of the wage workers of this city.
1T is now proposed to establish central
body on the broad lines of the American
Constitution, of Christian principles and
equal rights to all.
All cha rtered OrgaOiZa tioOs will he IL
mftted regardless of utilization. AS it is our
intention to extend helping hand to all
wage workers, We most earnestly request
the cooperation of the c. l.. w. and all
friends of the wage workers
Our motto shall be equality, justice and
liberty"

TRUSTS IN GERMANY.
Steps Recently Taken by the Prussian
Government.

Consul W. Schumann, at Mainz, informs
the State Department that the Prussian
government has lately taken steps to tnves-
tigate the trusts and syndicates located in
the kingdom, and a circular has been sent
10 the presidents of the various guberna-
torial district, asking the names and mem
berships of trusts located in the several dis
tricts, the nature and value Of the produc-
ton. the reasons for forming the trusts,
their objects, the regulation Of price and
output and division of spheres of opera
ton, their statutes; what agreements have
been made with other trusts; what effect
their formation has had on other trusts
and industries, on the cost of production
and on prices; how the sale is regulated;
how export prices compare with those asked
in the home markets; if export premiums
are granted; If the dividends, value of
stock ETC. of the various companies form
ing the trusts have increased not; what
methods are employed to fight the competi-
ton of concerns outside of the trusts; what
contracts are made with customers; the in
fuence of the trusts on wages of workmen
and on trade unions.
1t would be interesting, says the consul
to be able to study the replies to the fore
going questions, but 1t is hardly probable
that The government will make known the
results of this circular rogatOry.

MR.. TELLER FOR REPEAL.
Opposes the Sedition Laws in Force
in the Philinpines

In the Senate yesterday afternoon Sena-
tor Teller introduced a resolution declaring
it to be the sense of the Senate that the
sedition laws in force in the Philippines
should be repealed. The resolution is pre-
coded by a preamble reciting the arrest of
the editors of the newspapers Freedom and
Volcano, published in the archipelago, and
asserting that they are to be tried under
these laws by judges who owe their APP
pointments and tenure of office TO the gov
eminent commission for the criticism of
which the men are to be tried.
The last paragraph of the preamble and
the resolution are as follows:
Whereas, by the enactment of such laws
and the denial of trial by jury to those
cused under them, and the administration
of such laws by judges appointed by the
officials against whom the offenses are al
legged to have been committed, and who
have reserved to themselves the right to
remove said judges at pleasure, every YES
t1ge of civil liberty is destroyed, personal
liberty and property are without the securi-
ty of law, and the Filipino people are being
taught to hate the United States even
much as they hated Spain; therefore, be it
Resolved That 1t is the sense of the
Senate of the United States that the said
sedition laws and all of them should be i'm
mediately repealed and prosecutions under
them Immediately ceased, and that no per-
son shall hereafter be punished by death.
Imprisonment or fine in the provinces of the
Philippine Islands. in which armed resist
ance to the authority of the United States
has ceased, unless the accused upon de-
mand has been tried before a Jury of his
peers and lawfully pronounced guilty, and.
further that hereafter in the courts of said
archipelago, when the offense charged con-
sists of words spOen or written against any
citizen or official or department of said gov
eminent the truth of said words spoken or
written may be given in evidence and shall
constitute full and perfect defense"

BOY BADLY HURT.
Linwood Beck Loses His Left Hand
and is Otherwise Injured.

Linwood Beck, colored. seventeen years
old, jumped from a northbound train at
Maryland avenue and 9th street southwest
about G:45 O'Clock this morning and mar
rowly escaped instant death. He was Sc
verely injured, but while his condition is
serious, it is believed he will recover. His
left hand was cut off and he was hurt about
the head and body.
The boys home is at 214 North 5th street
Charlottesville, Va. Beck said he was
without funds and he came here to see the
sights and also to get out of the Virginia
town.
Besides the injuries mentioned the ply
sicians at the Emergency Hospital found
he had sustained a fracture of the left
shoulder. He was operated upon shortly
after he reached the hospital and it will
probably be several weeks before he will
be able to return home.
The accident happened two squares from
where Richard Day, the -colored boy of
Alexandria, was killed. under similar cir
cumstances, Saturday night.

South of and in front of this station will
be broad plateau about 1000 feet in the
direction of Massachusetts, avenue and 500

the ground of the change of grade that will
be made it should be remembered that in
the middle of Massachusetts avenue the
roadway will be raised thirty feet This
will meet the level of the higher grade of
Capitol Hill to the south and east, and will,
in fact, form practically an extension of
Capitol Hill. To the north and west the
ground will slope as rapidly as consistent
with a comfortable grade for driving The
change of grade will not affect the level of
H street, and perhaps will not reach as far
north as G street, though it might be neces-
sary to raise the latter street few feet
The raising of North Capitol street south
of G street will give no greater grades than
would be necessary in opening that street

CERTIFICATES OF CHINESE.
The Act of 1882 Declared to Be Still
in Force

The United States Supreme Court yester-
day rendered a decision in the case Of the
United States against Lee Yen Tai, coming
from the court of appeals for the second
circuit on certificate submitting the ques-
ton to whether the twelfth section of
the congressional act of 1882, requiring GER
tificates from Cinnamon about to enter the
United States, had been abrogated by the
treaty of 1894 between the United States
and China. The question was answered in
the negative, the law being thus held to be
still in effect.
The Chinaman in this instance entered the
state of New York from Canada in October
1900, and was Immediately apprehended
justice Harlan delivered the opinion of
the court saying: "A statute enacted bv

preme law of the land aud should never

seQuently concluded unless It is impossible

So far from there being any inconsistency
between the statute and the treaty here in
question, the twelfth section of the act of
1882, as amended in 1884 and continued in
force for ten years from and after the pas
sage of the act of 1892 Is in absolute har-
mOny with the treaty and can be enforced
without affecting or impairing any rights
secured by the treaty. On the contrary,

two countries in respect of Chinese labOrerS
as avowed in the treaty of 1894. Despite the
ingenious argument to the contrary we do
not perceive any difficulty whatever in
reaching this conclusion after carefully
scrutinZing the treaty and the statute. A
different conclusion would be hostile to the
objects which, as avowed in the treaty,
both the United States and China desired to
accomplish. This is so clearly manifest that
argument cannot make it more So"
