THE MAGNETIC HEALING CASE.
The Federal Supreme Court Gives De.
cisi0n In Fraud Order Case Fav0ring
the School ct Nevada, NO.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-The United
States supreme court yesterday de-
nyered an opinion in the case of the
American School Of Magnetic Healing
VI. ]. M. McAnulty, the latter being
postmaster at Nevada. Mo-, where the
school is located. The proceeding
grew out of a fraud order issued by
the post Office department prohibit
ing the postmaster from delivering
mail addressed to the school. The
original bill asked for an injunction
to prohibit the postmaster from obey
ing this order. On trial in the United
States circuit court for the Western
district Of Missouri the departments
order was sustained on a demurrer.
Yesterdays opinion reversed that
judgment, but in delivering it JUS
tice Peckham said that there was no
intention Of passing upon the various
constitutional objections set out in
the bill, the intention of the court be-
ing to simply hold that the admitted
facts show no violation of the stat
utes cited, but an erroneous order
given by the postmaster general to
the defendant postmaster" The
court instructs the lower court to
overrule the demurrer asked for BY
the defendant, but with leave for him
to file an amended bill.

A STRIKE IN CHICAGO.
Gasftters Go Out 10 Sympathy with the
Electricians Who Quit Work for the
Edison Company.

Chicago, Nov. 15.-Building opera
tons in the downtown district were
almost entirely suspended yesterday
as the result Of a strike called by
the gasftters' union in sympathy
with the electricians. Although only
100 men are involved the matter is
serious, as it has tied up work on
five big Office buildings, 1t is also
probable that other building trades
workmen may join the gasAtters and
the electricians.
Contracts for the electrical work
in all Of the buildings named are
held by the Chicago Edison company,
against which concern the strike of
the gastitters was aimed. The cleo
tricians employed by the Edison COM
pany went on strike on August l be-
cause the company refused to dis
charge non-unioa men.

union mine workers, through their
attorneys, John T.. Lenahan and Jo-

thracite coal strike commission. On
Friday Messrs. Lenahan and O'Brien
appeared before the commission and
said they represented the non-union
men employed in the mines during
the strike, and they desired to know
whether they could present their
case to the commission and what
would be the status Of the attorneys
before that body. The commission
decided that they would have to
know definitely what case they had
before they could determine their
status and this is contained in the
statement filed last night. 1t is said
the non-union miners seeking recog-
milton before the commission number
1000. The statement In part Is as
follows.
"The non-union mine workers we
represent present to the said COM
mission the following statement of
their demands; First, for an in
crease of 20 per cent. upon the price
paid during the year 1901 to employees
performing contract and piece work;
second, for a like increase Of 20 per
cent. upon the price paid during the
1901 to employees paid by the hour,
day or week."
Continuing the statement says that
instead of desiring a reduction in
the hours Of employment, I'VE insist
upon right to work as many hours
as we choose and as opportunity af.
fords, so as to better our conditions
and increase our earning capacity"
The statement asks protection for
the non-unlon men against all acts
Of intimidation, violence and boycott
ting and describes how they have
been terrorzed during the strike.

COLORADO REPUBLICANS.
Chairman Farley Says the Jollincation
Meeting He Declared on Was to Be
Packed with Wolcott'a Admirers.

Denver, COL, Nov. 1s.-Chalrman D.
B. Farley, Of the republican state
central committee, yesterday issued
an address to the republicans Of Colo
RADIO regarding the republican jollif-
cation arranged for tonight in this
city and which he, as the head of the
state organization, declared off some
days ago. The Denver organization
denied his authority in the matter
and declared the affair should go for
ward. Chairman Farley, in his state
ment, says Gov.-elect Peabody and
other speakers announced have with
drawn from the programme and
adds: "The evidence is conclusive
that while said meeting is, upon Its
face, to be celebration Of the recent
republican victory, it Is In fact a
meeting to further the candidacy Of
E. 0. Wolcott for the United States
senatorship, and has been arranged
and will be packed so as to appear
an ovation to him personally"

TIE FEDERATION OF LABOR.


New Orleans, Nov. 17-There is .
strong probability that the executive
council of the American Federation
Of Labor will be enlarged from nine
to II members at the present conven-
ton and that one OF tho additional
members will be a representative Of
the socialistic wing Of the labor
unions. The socialists assert that
they control nearly one-third Of the
votes cast in the convention and feel
fairly confident Of getting one man
on the board. There Is q strong ele-
ment opposed to the increase in
number, but the socialists say they
do not expect to win without fight,
but they do expect to have won that
much when the fight Is over. But
two cities have so far been men
toned as the place for the next
convention, Buffalo and Milwaukee.
W. F. Kennedy, general organizer
Of the international Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers, has prepared q
resolution, which he expects will raise
something Of breeze upon the floor
Of the convention. 1t is to the effect
that the present local government Of
the District of Columbia is antique
and obsolete and THAT the residents
Of the District should be allowed to
vote. The resolution is certain Of
opposition, as it is the avowed policy
Of the federation to refrain from po-
litical matters.

A. F. Of |. MEETING,
Gompsrs Delivers an lmpassioned
Warning to Members
CONFLICTING JURISDICTION CLAIMS.


New Orleans, Nov. 14.-President
Gompers, at the opening Of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor yesterday,
delivered an impassioned warning to
the members Of the organization that
the immediate future OF trade and
labor assemblies was seriously en-
dangered by the conflicting claims
Of Jurisdiction made by different
bodies. Unless such things were
fixed in calmness and handled with
moderation, he declared the labor or
carnations Of the country would
soon be involved in a conflict which
would, by comparison, dwarf all the
struggles in which labor organiza-
lions have so far been engaged. The
matter would, unless checked, he as
serted, come to point where labor
ing men would fight with laboring
men from behind barricades, In the
manner in which men deal with their
mortal foes. His warning of danger
and his counsels of peace and moder-
alton met with hearty response
from the assembled delegates and
wild applause greeted the speaker as
he closed that portion of his annual
address in which he had pointed out
the perils which, in his opinion, will
surely come unless methods are al
tered and altered soon.
The first day Of the convention,
aside from the address Of President
Gompers, was not Of great interest
to outsiders and many delegates
found it fatiguing The morning
session was occupied with addresses
of welcome and responses and the re-
port of the committee on credentials.
The afternoon was consumed by the
address of President Gompers which
occupied him for two hours and 20
minutes Of rapid reading. The re-
ports Of other officers required two
additional hours. To-day it is ex-
pected that the actual work of the
convention will be entered upon.
