A communication was received from the
Chicago Federation of Labor asking that
Congress be petitioned to repeal the desert
land act, as recommended by the Secretary
Of Agriculture; also the communication
clause of the homestead act, and restrict
the allotment of government to bona fide
settlers, who will occupy the land for five
years, and to oppose any scheme to give
the public lands or the control Of their
reclamation to the states.
1t was also requested that the labor or
Plantations of the country urge Congress
to appropriate $250,00O for irrigation sur
veys, and an additional sum to construct
reservoirs, as recommended by the Secre-
tary of the Interior.
It is stated that 100000, 600 acres of gov
ernment land can be opened up for settlers
If the national government will build the
reservoirs and large canals, the cost of
which would nearly all be paid out for
labor; that all who desired a farm could
get one, and thus an outlet would be pro-
vided for the unemployed and relieve all
pressure on the labor market.
The matter was referred to the commit
tee on legislation, as was also a request
from various labor organizations in Con-
necticut and California that Congress be
urged to provide in the next naval appro-
priation bill that some Of the warships shall
be constructed in the navy yards of the
country.
w. E. Kennedy, chairman Of a special
committee appointed several months ago to
ascertain the sense of the business resi-
dents of Washington relative to suffrage
in the District and change of local gov
ernment, reported that a number of promi-
nent business men will cooperate with the
labor organizations to secure the right Of
franchise. AS recommended in the report.
the chair was directed to appoint a COM
mittee of one from each Of the organiza-
tions represented In the Central Labor
Union for the purpose of advancing the
cause Of local suffrage.
