up the river and harbor bill for eonsidera-
ton.

CONCLUDED FROM PAGE l. PART -
the House would in due time and in it's own
way deal with the amended measure. Mr..
Cannon's remarks put the House in a good
humor.
The fertilization appropriation bill was
passed and the conferee report on the legiS-
lative appropriation bill agreed to.
Among the other measures passed are the
following: Granting permission for the
erection of a monument or statue in Wash
ington to the memory and in honor of the
late Benjamin f. Stephenson, founder of
the Grand Army of the Republic; appro-
priating $4,000 for the establishment of a
fish culture station in Florida; TO authorize
the construction of a bridge across the
Neuz river at Kingston, N. c.; for a monu-
Kearney massacre; regulating the intro
duction of eggs of game birds for propaga-
ton.
Mr.. Lacey stated that the purpose of the
last bill was to authorize the secretary of
agriculture TO fix regulations by which
there would be nc propagation OF unde-
sirable birds, such as English sparrows.
but that the propagation would be confined
to desirable game birds.
A bill providing for two additional asso-
ciate justices in Oklahoma created rather
lively discussion on the proviso that the
appointees shall be residents of the Terri
tory for one year.
Mr.. Fleming, of Georgia. said the amend
ment was designed to prevent carpet bag
ging."
Delegate Flynn. Of Oklahoma, declared. In
supporting the proviso. that there was the
fullest confidence that the President would
respect the home-rule sentiment. The bill
was passed.

LOCAL B NOTES.

The first national convention of the Saw
makers Union will be held in Masonic Hall
May IA.
Since the wage scale of the painters
union was settled the union is having diff
Guilty in furnishing the contractors with
men.
The Machinists' Union has submitted its
new scale for the year. TO take effect next
month, asking for a slight advance In
wages
John Skidmore and Charles Roster, Of the
Pressmen's Union. have been elected dele
gates TO the international convention,
which will be held in Baltimore.
The concrete workers employed on the
Claypool Hotel, who were recently organ
lied, are now attempting to interest street
men and get them in the union.
The bridge and structural iron workers
Of this city have received notice that their
international organization will assist them
in their demand for 10 cents on hour, May /.
NJ. p. Carrick, general secretary-treasurer
of the International Brotherhood of Paint
ers and Decorators. will be in the city
Tuesday night to visit and address the local
union.
The Musicians Union will put in force its
new scale, demanding an advance OF 10 to
20 per cent, next month. The musicians
expect little difficulty in getting their de-
mands.
The leather workers are watching the
outcome Of the bid OF an indianapolis firm
TO furnish $500 sets of harness 10 the gov
ernment. The government agency at JEFF
fersonville advertised for the bids. II the
firm of this city should get the contract it
would materially benefit the leather work.
erS.
William Ewald has been appointed bust
ness agent of the Cigar Makers Union
and will spend much time in booming the
label. OF late there has not been a decrease
in the consumption of nounion cigars. The
cigar makers assert that If home industry
were better patronized loo cigar makers
would be given employment at wages rang
ing from S5 to SIS a week.
The Garment Makers Union complains
that some of the employers of the city are
sending work outside of the factory TO be
done in homes, which places the finished
product IN the market at a figure much
lower than articles bearing the union label.
1t is asserted that this is a violation of the
law, which specifies that persons doing
work at home must have a certificate from
the factory inspector. An effort will be
made to have the factory laws governing
this feature of the work enforced.

STRUCTURAL STEEL HIGHER.
Prices for Immediate Delivery Ad-
vanced $8 to So a Ton.

NEW YORK, April 1~9.-Structural steel
immediate delivery 50 to IS a ton over quo
tations recently current, says the Journal
of Commerce, and the supply of steel bill
let's throughout the country is so small that
manufacturers are still compelled TO go
abroad TO purchase supplies for their mills.
There is no famine as yet, although pre-
vailing conditions, it is reported, make an
approximation TO the same. The scarcity of
material is particularly felt by small man
ufacturerS, although the United States
Steel Corporation also feels the lack of
a necessary supply of billets. The situation
has a particular bearing upon the question
of steel rail supply. 1t is stated that the
wants of the railroads will necessitate a
much larger importation Of rails this year
than for some years past.
All the mills are practically booked for
the entire year, and 1t Will be found that
more business will be carried from this
years books into 1903 than was carried
shows no intention at present of advancing
prices.

ers held it's twelfth annual meeting here to-

a number of other iron and steel products.

ton of officers resulted as follows: Presi-
dent, +. Huston, of the Lukens Iron and
Steel Company; vice president, John Nc

offer for the United States Telephone Com
