LABOR LEADER IN TOLLS.
Man in Philippines Collects Dues, But
 His Books Don't Balance.

Manila May 29.-Following the investi- gation of books and examination of the Democratic labor union the government today arrested President Dominadnor Gomez on charges of misappropriating funds, brigandage, fraudulent sales of stock and organizing an illegal associa- ton. Over a hundred thousand pesos were collected in dues and contributions. The books show a deficit of 20O0 pesos. It is believed to be possible that part of the amount was stolen before Gomez was elected president. The government charges that part of the fund was used to furnish arms and food to the insur- gents of Risal province. This with Gomez correspondence with Guiltermo and other leaders In the field forms the basis of the brigandage charge The union has a membership of 15.000 is close- ly affiliated with the nationalist party and is strongly in sympathy with the in- surgents.
 The arrest of Gomez has excited the na- tiyes. No disorders have occurred, but the governments action will increase the feeling of unrest in Manila, which has been disturbed lately by reports or the landing of arms. The situation, however, is not serious.

TEXTILE WORKERS STRIKE.
Members of the Union Are Quitting
 a Little Ahead of Time.

Philadelphia. Pa, May 29.-Although the strike of the textile workers of this city for a 55-hour week was set for Monday, the suspension was practically inaugurat- ed at quitting time tonight. During the day the employees of eight additional mills stopped work before the closing hour, making twelve mills already on strike. The hands at one mill were locked out. Reports received at the headquarters of the textile workers up to midday show that thlrty-seven firms out of nearly 300 in the city had agreed to reduce the hours of the workers from sixty to fifty-five A week. Members of the textile workers executive committee claim that the strike will be more general than the manufact- urers believe. They claim that fully 6o0oO persons will refuse to go to work on Mon- day unless their demands are granted.
 The manufacturers feel confident that the men will not win the strike.
 Charles Fl. Pardyn. Thomas Broomley. Jr, and Frank Lead. representing the Manufacturers association. in an inter- view tonight said that 1t was financial impossbility for the employers to grant the request of the employees. The manu- lecturers say that they are at dis advantage with manufacturers in other cities because the latter don't pay as high wages as the Philadelphia employers. In the south the manufacturers claim many mills work seventy-two hours a week.

Montgomery Negro Tries Another
 Scheme to Test Constitution
ASKS DAMAGES OF BOARD
Hearing Win Not Be Granted Until u. s. Supreme Court Meets In oe- tober-Hemenway Opposes Con-
 qressional investigation.
BY PATTERSON sTEALEY.

Washington. May 29.-(Special.)- 1.-The re- cent decision of the Supreme court of the United States declining to interfere with the suffrage amendments to the con- stitution of Alabama. and which effects other southern states, where the negroes have been disfranchised. has not ended the fight to test the validity of these dis franchsing laws directed at the ignorant blacks in the south.
 Today two more cases were brought in behalf of Jackson W. Giles, colored, of Alabama, the original complaint. One was a mandamus proceeding and the other a civil suit for damages. Counsel for Giles today made application to Jus tice White, In whose circuit Alabama Is included, for writs of error directed to the Alabama Supreme court for a re- view of the cases by the Supreme court of the United States on the ground that constitutional question is involved in each. These applications were granted by Jus tice White and the cases. if advanced, will probably be heard early in October.
 Thrown Out of Court.
 The negro disfranchisement provisions of the Alabama constitution were recent ly before the Supreme court in equity proceedings and the case was practically thrown out of court upon the grounds that the evils alleged could not be cor rected by proceedings in equity. The case decided by the court some weeks ago was brought in the district Federal court and then appealed to the Supreme court, while the two cases for which wrlts of error were granted today origi- mated in the state courts of Alabama.
 They were brought by Jackson W. Giles. complainant also in the Federal court. One mandamus proceeding to compel the board of registrars of Alabama to place his name on the voting hats and the other a civil suit against the mem bers of that board for damages sustained by Giles because of their refusal to place his name on the list of voters.
 The lower court found against Giles on both suits, denying in one his writ of mandamus and in the other the suit for damages and these Judgments were af- rewards affirmed by the Supreme court of Alabama.
 The hearing today was oral and no pa pers were filed

AS AN ANSWER CHARGES
 ARE HURLED AT TULLOCH

Washington, May 29.-Postmaster Gem eral Payne today made public the reply of Postmaster Merritt of this city to the Tulloch charges.
 The Merritt response makes serious ac- cusations against former Cashier S. w.. Tulloch of the Washington postoffice, saying that a transaction in which MT, Tulloch was concerned in 1898 appears to comprehend the presentation of false voucher which is made crime by the statutes"
 Mir Merritt's reply further alleges that receipts were signed in blank on the pay rolls during MT. Tullochs regime as cashier, and that the files don't indicate any complaint of Irregularities against the Washington postoffice, filed by MT. Tuloch while he was In office. Mir. Mer- ritt says the general practice of giving employees duties seemingly incompatible with their positions Is no abuse, and that the practice of paying certain expenses of the postoffice department out of the Washington city postoffce fund has al ways existed. and is proper.

TWELVE MONTHS OF
 PEACE IS ASSURED
PRESIDENT SKATER OF ANAL GAMATED ASSOCIATION SAYS IRON WAGE SCALE HAS BEEN SIGNED AND ALL IS WELL.

Detroit, May 29.-"We have signed the iron wage scale for next year, and indus trial peace in the iron world Is assured for another twelve months" said Presi- dent T. J. Shaffer of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tinwork- CTS, this evening, after the closing ses- sion of the wage conference wieh the manufacturers committee, headed by Col. G. w. French. vice president of the Republic Iron and Steel company.
 "Our conference was harmonious throughout" continued MT. Shaffer
 Following are the principal concessions granted the members of the Amalgamated association by the manufacturers
 From the IFS cent pudding or boiling card to the cent Card, inclusive, the men are given an increase of 12h cents ton: an allowance of 50 cents a ton extra has been granted the men for fomented syarth; such changes have been made in clauses and of the sand bottom bushelling scale by which our men, II they work heavy scrap without turnings, will get 20 cents a ton extra; 1t was agreed that in guide mills, where heats or ron are kept in the furnace longer than two hours after being ready to roll 10 per cent extra shall be paid the puddlers; $l ton extra will be paid when 10 per cent Of galvanized sheets scrap is worked In pud- ding furnaces. We also succeeded after many years of negotiations in reaching an agreement on the crop end question in bar and guide mills A change was also made in that part of the scale referring to the flremen. This secures full payment of the fremen's wages by the company where such practices exist"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-05-30

MT. Merritt says the removal of Cash fer Tulloch was no mistake; that the accounts were in tangled condition, and that Tulloch refused to straighten them out unless paid $500. MT. Merritt asserts that a number of the irregularities to which Tuloch called attention were due to Tullochs own neglect or ignorance. MT. Merritt says he had discretionary au- thority to remove Tulloch, whom he charges with being arbitrary in manner, occupied much of the time with impor- tant private business and ''venturesome man in the field of speculation"
 Concerning alleged postal abuses, MT. Merritt says the final account therefor was settled with the auditor without material loss. MT. Merritt says that what Mir Tulloch charged were disallowances of the comptroller of the treasury in the Washington office in the quarter ended September 30. 1898, amounting to some thirty or forty thousand dollars were not such in reality. They were merely de- mands made by him for explanation as to pertain items in the account which his expert ev"'aner had some doubt about amount 10 a very considerable
 i'm, and the yojections were finally .sithdrawn.

Not an Affair for Congress.

Representative Hemenway of Indiana, who Is mentioned as the probable chair man of the next house appropriations committee to succeed MT. Cannon, and who therefore win be a powerful factor in the work of the lower body of the next congress is opposed to congress sonal investigation of the present scan- dalous condition of affairs in the postof- flee department.
 MT. Hemenway is unsparing in his criti- cism of those officers of the department who may be proven guilty of wrong do- ing, but he takes the view that the heads of the department assisted by the of- ficias of the department of justice. can cope with the situation without the aid of congress.
 MT. Hemenway believes that the post master general and his assistant will prove themselves able to uncover the ras- cality in the department, and that be- fore the present investigation Is conclud- ed the utmost confidence in the postal service will be restored.
 It Is considered likely here that con- gressional investigation, which Is being generally urged by democratic members of the next congress, will De stoutly TO- sisted by the republican side on grounds similar to those outlined by Mir. Hemen- way.

 At 9S0 tonight terrific electric storm visited this city. It was accompanied by heavy downpour of hall. No serious damage to property occurred
 The day dawned clear, but at 10 o'clock this morning clouds appeared and remain ed throughout the day. having the effect Of stimulating the exodus of negroes who inclined to the belief that the day of de- struction prophesied by the negress Ellen Burnett Jefferson, was at hand.
 Many left on afternoon trains and the streets presented a deserted appearance. Fully ninety per cent of the negroes re- siding here are out of the city tonight.
