5000 viii be idle tomorrow.
Much OF the building operations Of
the city were forced to suspend during
the day, while strikers committees and
employers were negotiating settle

dispute are the structural iron work

viremen, fathers. sheet metal workers,
hosting and portable engineers, slate
and tile rOofers and the hod carriers.

hundred granite cutters at Cape Anne
left work because a demand regarding
hours was not complied with, and at
Barre. VI. and one or two other places
a similar number OF granite workers
struck. About 1.00e teamsters are idle
in Providence because their employers
refused TO grant an advance in wages.
Portland. Ore. May 1.-The labor sit

Philippine Secrets Suppressed at
Instance of Administration.
IVAsHINGToN. May 1.-Aguinald.

III ASHINGTON. May 1.-Aguinaldo
w was the special subject of dis
cussion in the senate today. As
soon as the Philippine government bill
was taken up Mr.. Carmack of Tonnes
see resumed his criticism of the Phil
ippine commission because Of its re-
fusal to call Aguinaldo and other Fill
pinOs as witnesses. He maintained
that as reflections by witnesses had
been cast on the character Of Aguin-
aldo. he ought to be permitted, in all
decency,' to defend himself.
Mr.. Carmack's contention was sharp
IS combstted by Mr.. Foraker of Ohio.
Mr.. McComas Of Maryland and Mr..
Burton Of Kansas.
Mr.. Carmack said he could see no
good reason for the majority's refusal
to summon Aguinaldo and other Fill
pinOs to appear as witnesses before the
committee. General Funston had said
that Aguinaldo had confessed 20 him
that he (Aguinaldo) had had Luna as
sassinated because Luna was becoming
too popular. Governor Taft had tests
fed that General Funston had said
Aguinaldo had had Luna killed lest
Luna should kill him.
Mr.. Foraker wanted to know what
The killing OF Luna by another Filipino
had to do with the senate's action on
the pending bill. Mr. Carmack said It
had been the purpose OF the majority
OF the Philippine commission to show
that Aguinaldo was a thief and muir
derer. and he urged that, in common
fairness. Aguinaldo ought 20 be heard
in his own defense.
Mr. Tillman Of South Carolina in
faad hat n II rnrfe- hot
AguinaldO be brought here to testify
in his own behalf"
Mr. Dubois said it seemed strange
that after the committee had decided
not TO summon Aguinaldo as Wit
ness, General Macarthur for the first
time had testified today that Aguin-
aldo was a man of high character.
MIR. CulbersOn of Texas had read d
letter from the secretary Of war. in
which he said that it has not been
customary for the war department to
arrange accounts of expenditures with
reference to the place where the ulti-
mate service depending upon them is
rendered. No separate account has
ever been kept Of expenditures of the
army according to the different iOcali-
ties i'm which troops might be sta
toned for carrying on military opera
tons. 1t is, therefore, impracticable

verting a large number of clerks from

which cannot be kept up only by their
unremitting efforts
Mr.. Carmack declared that this let
ter was simply a part of ''the policy
Of suppression and Justification which
had been followed ever since the be-
ginning Of the Philippine business. He
had read a letter sent to the general
manager Of the Associated Press by
Robert N Collins. the Manila CORE
spOndent. and declared that the letter
demonstrated that the news in the
Philippines was suppressed. not as a
military necessity, but to protect the
interests Of the Republican party
Consideration was then resumed of
the sundry civil appropria ton bill, but
without completing it. the senate, at
5:15 .. m. went into executive session
and soon afterward adjourned.
