In A QUANDARY.


Chicago, March 5.-Western rail-
way arrangements are in quandary
regarding what action to take with
reference to annual passes which
were issued and sent to shippers be-
fore the passage of the Elkins law.
Many thousands of such passes are
outstanding and, although they were
issued before the new statute went
into effect, the general opinion is that
their use is now illegal and will sub
iect both the railroads and the users
to a fine for violations Of the act.
1t is thought that the interstate COM
merce commission will not refrain
from including these outstanding an
nual passes when they begin to in
vestigate matters.
It was this peculiar phase OF the
situation which led to the calling OF
a general meeting of passenger OIL
Gals of lines which are members OF
the Western, Transcontinental and
Southwestern Passenger associations
for to-day in Chicago. They are ex-
pected to agree among themselves to
aclean house" and place matters in
order for the inspection OF the COM
mission.

A COMING STRUGGLE.
Many workmen In Building Trades May Be
Idle on May Through Structural Iron
Workers Demands.

New York, March 5.-The Tribune
SAYS: Between 100000 and 100000
workmen in the building trades
throughout the United States are ex-
pected to be thrown idle on May !
on account of the Forthcoming de-
mands of the structural iron work
ers, which the manufacturers have de-
cided to refuse. 1t was learned Tues
day that manufacturers and con-
tractors, who have been meeting
from time to time in the last fort
night, effected permanent organ
ization on Tuesday night at secret
meeting in an uptown hotel. The or
ganization will probably be known as
the National Structural Iron Manu-
facturers' association. 1t has APP
pointed a national executive commit
tee, which will appoint local commit
lees in cities represented by it in the
next few days. The object of this
association is to fight the demands
which the structural iron workers
throughout the country intend max
ing on May 1. The firms in the as
sociation, it is said, have combined
capital of 81 ,OOO,OOO,O0O,"

TIE WABASH TROUBLE.


St. Louis, March 5.-Deyelopments
in the impending strike situation on
the Wabash were very few yesterday
and absolutely without interest.
Everything now hinges on the injunc-
ton, which the labor leaders will at
tempt to have dissolved, and until
this is done away with there can be
no strike, for they have agreed to
obey the courts order. L. 1. Irwin,
of Peoria, ILL.,, and L. V. Penny, OF
Cleveland, attorneys for the train
men, spent the day in conference
with Messrs. P. Il. Morrissey and s.
W. Arnold and other union leaders,
examining the petition on which the
injunction was issued and preparing
an answer that will be presented in
court, probably to-day, to secure a
dissolution of the restraining order.
There were no developments at
Wabash headquarters. President
Ramsey said to the Associated press;
Everything has been running
smoothly and there are no indica-
tions that our men have gone out
or will do SO soon. l have not seen
any members of the grievance com
mittee to-day and know nothing OF
what is transpiring at their head
quarters"
Asked as to the effect of sympathy
strike on the part of the trackmen,
1000 of whom, Grand Master Wilkins
says, are ready to support the train
men and tiremen if they go out,
President Ramsey said: ut would
have very little effect on the situa-
ton. In case of q strike we would
get all the men we should need to
take the places of strikers in all de-
partments."
A lengthy statement was issued
yesterday by President Ramsey, adj
dressed to employees of the Wabash
Railroad company and others inter
ested, explaining his position in the
present crisis.

CLOSE OF CONGRESS.
The Bitter Partisan Feeling Shown
Yesterday in the House.
RESOLUTION OF THANKS TO SPEAKER
u Had TO Como from the Republican Side
All Of the supply Bills Passed
and Signed by President
Roosevelt

Washington, March 6.-The Fifty
seventh congress expired at noon
yesterday by limitation. There has
mot been in many years such dem
onstration in the house as occurred
yesterday, owing to the fact that
Speaker Henderson was retiring not
only as presiding officer, but from
B the house as member. The bitter
partisan feeling that has sprung up
In the house Of representatives dur
ing the past week reached pitch
which prevented the speaker from
receiving the unanimous approval OF
the house which for the usual reso-
luton Of thanks and courtesy was
offered. More than this, the resolu-
ton had to come from the republican
side, and, while this has occurred
before, it is not the usual custom.
The usual resolution of thanks to
President Pro Tempore Frye was
unanimously adopted in the senate.
Two years ago, when the Fifty
sixth congress expired, it was re-
markable not only for the second in
auguration of William Mckinley, but
also for the fact that Senator Car
ter, Of Montana, talked the river and
harbor bill to death, which occupied
the time of the senate up to within
u few minutes of the end. Yester-
day Senator Mason, whose term ex-
pred, also talked an unimportant
bill to death, but in his valedictory
he lectured the senate for its unlim-
tied debate which allows bills to be
killed in that manner, and he also
made final plea for the freedom OF
the Filipinos.
As all Of the important supply bills
had passed before the two houses
took recess yesterday morning no
legislation was necessary and none
was attempted. The bills which had
passed and reached the stage of en-
rollment were all signed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who, with members
Of his cabinet, occupied the presi-
dents room in the senate wing Of the
capitol. This biennial visit of the
president to the capitol Is one OF the
features of closing congress.
