THE LOCAL STRIKES.
Lockout an Event of the Past-Other
Troubles

The lockout instituted by the Master
Builders Association last Wednesday
against workmen affiliated with the Central
Labor Union is now pra ,'tically a thing of
the past it having been suspended by the
builders for two weeks pending SETTLE
ment of the labor difficulties existing in the
building trade. and all the men who were
affected by it returned to work this n 1-n-
ing.
The only labor troubles that now COM
mand the attention of the public the
plumbers, the carriage makers and carpen-
terS strikes. There is apparently no i'm
pOrtant developments in the situation of
the two frst-named, while the trials of the
carpenters seem to be drawing near close
A member of the Master Plumbers Asso-
citation stated that the striking plumbers
are going about the city in bands trying to
fntimidate npn-union plumbers whom they
may chance to meet 1t was stated that one
company. numbering about thirty men.
visited a building a few days ago and
threatened the nOn-union plumbers en-
plOyed there with harm. 1t was also stated
by the same party that master plumber
was assaulted by the strikers.
The strikers maintain the utmost secrecy
as to what their organization Is doing in
regard TO bringing the troubles to an end.
They still declare that the fight will result
in their favor.
In a talk with a Star reporter this after
mum MI D. H. I1lIllfAIIldit, dCtiIS SECRETARY
OF the striking carriage makers. said:
There IS no disposition on the part of
the strikers to recede from the position
they have taken from the beginning of the
strike.
''One of the members Of the Carriage Man
ufacturers' Association signed the union
contract this morning. This action has
had marked effect upon the men on strike.
and they say they are satisfied they win
easily win the struggle.
M. Brinkman said that the firm Of R.
McReynoids' Sons opened its large shop this
morning on l. street northwest which, 1t
Is said. will afford employment for a large
number of the strikers
The members of the Carriage Manufac-
turers' Association say they have nothing
whatever to make public. declaring that
the members OF the association have their
shops about full and have no cause to feel
uneasy as to the ultimate outcome of the
present troubles.

VACANT JUDaEsHR.
Mr.. Gould and MI. Leighton Spoken Of
for the VACANCY.

The chief topic Of conversation at the
city hall and among members Of the bar
today relates to the filing Of the vacancy
caused by the recent death Of Associate
Justice Andrew c. Bradley OF the Supreme
Court Of the District Of Columbia. Those
who are considered candidates for the Of
flee are Mr.. Ashley NJ. Gould, the present
United States attorney for the District of
Columbia, and Mr.. Benjamin r. Leighton
president OF the Bar Association.
The friends Of Mr.. Gould were energeti-
cally at work today and before noon nearly
every practicing attorney had been visited
by them. With but few exceptions, 1t is
stated. the lawyers attached their sigma
lures to request that the President nomi-
nate Mr.. Gould for the judgeship. Not only
the younger element, but many OF the older
members and recognized leaders of the bar
have pledged themselves to support Mr.
Gould.
While the efforts in behalf of Mr. Leigh
tons candidacy are not apparent, it is
understood that his friends are none the
less determined and enthusiastic than are
those of Mr.. Could. They claim to have
the strongest kind Of backing and point
out that Mr.. Leighton's long and houora BILE
career at the local bar entities him to re-
ward at this time.
A lawyer who claims to be in a position
to know makes the assertion that there is
President may, for political reasons. ap-
point an outside man in filling the vacancy
1t Is added that Mr.. Gould's chances are
favored for one reason because of the fact
that his elevation would place another office
at the disposal of the President-that Of
United States attorney for the District of
Columbia.
: The names of several other lawyers were
mentioned today for the judgeship, but it
was impossible to verify whether or not
they are, or will be- candidates There
FORE the situation this afternoon seemed to
be that Mr.. Gould and Mr.. Leighton are
the only possibilities.
Two things are conceded by the bench
and the bar. The first is that there is an
imperative, necessity, owing to the state
OF the business Of the court, for the i'm
mediate appointment Of q Judge to I'LL the
existing vacancy. The second is that the
necessity Is equally imperative that a man
should be appointed who is familiar with
the practice and laws of the District of
Columbia man whose legal attachments
and experience at the local bar fit him
for the prompt assumption and discharge
of the duties OF justice OF the Supreme
Court Of the District Of Columbia

Attitude.

The House Takes Up the Naval BILL

shipmen.
POLICY OF,OBSTRUCTION

When the Senate met today the chair laid
before 1t the letter of the French govern
ment transmitted through Ambassador
Canbon to the Secretary of State, express
ing the thanks of that government for the
sympathy evinced by the President and the
Congress and the nation Of the United
States toward the sufferers from theFcatas-
trophe in Martinique. The communication
was referred to the committee on foreign
relations.
A joint resolution was offered by Me.
Stewart and adopted providing that that
part of the Indian appropriation bill which
relates to subjecting to entry certain min
ing lands in the Spokane Indian reserva-
ton shall take effect when the allotments
to the Indians are completed.
A partial disagreement on the omnibus
claims bill was reported and the bill again
A bill providing for the retirement OF
Surg. Gen. Sternberg as a major general
was passed.
Mr. Dolliver for Philippine Bill.
At the conclusion of routine business con-
sideration was resumed of the Philippine
government bill, Mr. DoIliver Qowa) ad-
dressing the Senate in support Of the meas
ure He said the pending bill presented the
most important constructive work since the
civil war. And yet. he said, he was disap-
pointed that not single helpful suggestion
had been made by the minority. They had
satisfied themselves with thunder storm
of words, a storm that sounded loud, but In
effect amounted to little. He suggested
that the democrats had evinced q studied
avoidance Of the real matter in hand. II
the debate had any significance at ALL 1t In
Dictated that there were democrats who pro-
posed to dig themselves out of the debris
Of presidential elections without the assist
ance of some of their fellows. The argu-
ments advanced by the minority simply
| were "a most reckless indictment OF the
United States in it's civil and military gov
eminent"
Mr.. Dolliver declared that no republican.
on party grounds, would ask for cessation
man must know that no political advantage
could be gained by an attack on the army
of the United States.
Mr.. Dolliver said the attacks on the army
were dictated by malevolence, which also
was directed against the government He
paid tribute to the late President Mckin-
ley, saying there was no note Of greed In
his policy. Mckinley had put the seal Of
his approval upon holding the Philippines
in trust for their Inhabitants. He said Con-
gress was more likely to cede back the
valley of the Mississippi than to leave the
Philippines to anarchy.
Omnibus Claims Bill.
The Senate adopted the conference report
on the omnibus claims bill. The agreement
eliminates the Selfridse board claims, which
was the principal item in dispute.
After diSpo ing of some routine business
the Senate, at 2:25 pm, went into executive
session.
