Unions Command Congress.

Chicago, Jan. ls.-Trade unionists OF
Chicago have decided to take uniform
action against the building Of warships
and naval machinery in any but gov
eminent shops. Resolutions have been
adopted by the leading unions of the
city requesting Congressman Foss, who
is the head of the committee on naval
affairs, to use his influence toward the
adoption of a bill to that effect before
congress. 1t is claimed by the men
that government shipyards should be
placed ON the Great Lakes as well as on
the occan coasts. The stand taken by
the men has been brought about by the
employment Of non-union men in shops
now doing government work.

TO PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT,

Washington. Jan. f5.-Thc Maryland
delegation in congress, including sena'
tors and representatives, considered the
course to be pursued in the Schlcy case,
and reached n determination that. pend
rug the decision of President Roosevelt
On the appeal to be made by Admiral
l5chley to the chief executive, IL would
be inadvisable for the delegation to
urge upon congress any of the resolu-
Lions or bills introduced. The meeting
Twas held in the committee room of Rep
resentative Watcher NId.). and was at
tended by Senator McComas and all of
the representatives from Maryland, eX-
cept Mr.. Jackson. who was out Of the
city.
The various resolutions and bills
now before congress were gone over
and it was the general sentiment OF
those present that the delegation would
I've favorable TO any of the measures
which fully indicated Admiral Schley,
but for the present, in view of the adj
niral placing the matter before presi-
dent Roosevelt, the delegation deemed
it inexpcdient to urge the matter be-
fore congress.

Delegate Broening, Republican, pre-
scented n memorial to congress asking
that body to adopt the report of Ad-
miral Dewey in the Schley court of in

OmciaI

Topeka, Jan. ls.-Mayor Parker IN
nounced that he intended to appoint
Tim Donovan chief Of police and the
newspapers took him at his word and
printed the news, but he ''gigged
back" and said the thing hadn't been
settled. 1t developed that the fight
for chief of police is more than a local
scrap. 1t really reaches to Milwaukee
and st. Louis. A ~. Louis brewing
company is backing Hank Lindsay,
and a Milwaukee brewery is backing
Tim Donovan. Each brewery has a
favorite, for upon the chief of police
depends which shall have the eXclusiv,
privilege of selling Topeka beer. II
has become II great contest in varioul
Kansas towns recently to see which
shall become the official brewery.
