MORTGAGE TAX CAUCUS.
BILLS FATE IN DOUBT.
Gouernor and Republican Leaders
Hold Conference.
[Br TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.I

Albany April IA conference lasting two or
three hours was held in the Executive Cham
Der to-day by Republican leaders in relation
to the Mortgage Tax bill. and was attended by
Governor OdelI. Lieutenant Governor Higgins.
Speaker Nixon. George W. Dunn. Senators
Raines and Malby and Assemblymen Rogers
and Burnett.
1t is said that the Republican Senator'S and
Assemblymen have received large number Of
letters from constituents expressing opposition
to the BILL but they declare that. having pledged
their support to It in a caucus, they intend to
still support it, Some Of these men favor the
act Others in view of the arguments made
against the bill by savings bank presidents and
others at the hearing yesterday, are now op-
posed to it, There has been more outspoken
hostility to the bill in the Assembly than in the
Senate.
On the conclusion of the conference 1t was
stated that 1t had been decided that caucus
should be held upon the bill by the Republican
Senators and Assemblymen either Tomorrow
night or some night early next week.
1t was the impression that the bill Will be
passed just as it is or not passed at all, but the
fact that d caucus will be held indicates tnat
some amendments may be pressed.
Senator Aids, who chiefly concerned In
the construction of the measure, said to-day
that only one real argument was made against
the bill at the hearing yesterday, and that was
III relation to the constitutional right to inter-
fere with corporate bonds to the possible extent
of mpairing contracts already made. Mr. Aids
added that no man who ever drew mortgage
tax bill had ever been able to form combina-
ton of words that would overcome this possible
constitutional obstacle.
Senator Green said to-day concerning the bill:
All can say is that the Mortgage Tax bill is
a lively corpse. The most careful consideration
will be given to the bill and all the constltu-
ttonaI features will be carefully looked after.
1 cannot say just when the measure will be re-

visitor last night in company with

A highly polished board which had
been made from the Catalpa tree was
exhibited in this office last night by
Mr. Brown and it was one of the hand
soonest specimens of polished wood
ever seen by the writer. The wood
is dark, not so dark as mahogany,
but on that line aud can be used by
the Pullman company i'll finishing
some of their cars.

LABOR DISTURBANCE.
Most Unsettiing Feature Of the Finan.
cial Situation Says Henry clews.

New York, March 9.-Clew's weekly
financial review says: The most
unsettling factor in the business stu-
alton to-day is the threatening and
often unreasonable demands of labor.
There are signs tlrat these demands
have been pushed to the breaking
point, simply because costs of produc-
ton have been pushed so high as to
seriously curtail f not destroy, prof
its and to check new enterprise SUI
an attitude on the part of the labor
leaders is foolish to he las degree and
will prove most unfortunate. not only
for capital, but for labor, with in t.
end will be the chief sufferer from i
own excesses. Should present de-
mands be enlarged and pushed to the
point OF rupture. ii may easily start a
reaction which, wisdom and modera-
ton prevailed, could be indefinitely
postponed. Those who control large
capital and large enterprises view the
situation with serOius concern. Amer
can labor is already securing gener-
Gus reward; and if costs of produc-
tiOn are to be further raised our in
dustrEl supremacy like that of Eng
land a few years ago, will receive n
blow requiring years of suffering and
repentance for recovery. 1t shou
not be forgotten that we are unavoid-
ably an important factor in the
worlds markets. and we cannot with
draw if we would. Great Britain and
eGremany, our chief rivals, are rapidly
adopting all our best methods of or
ganization and equipping their plants
with improved machinery; so thai
with lower costs for labor and smaller
capitalization. they are already able
to outrun us in the foreign markets
until we come down to their cost OF
production. The latter event must
fal with most severity upon Ameri-
can labor. because its present eXtor-
tionate policy plays right into the
hands of foreign labor. enabling Ger
many and Englad to undersell the
America product and secure foot
hold from which they will be driven
out only through costly sacrifice a,
struggle.

WOMEN NOT WANTED.
Pension Office at Washington Selects
Male Clerks in Preference to
Women.

Washington, March 9.-The tend
ency of department and bureau heads
of the government to discriminate in
favor of men in appointments to the
public service is strikingly shown by
recent records here. If Commissioner
Ware and his successors continue the
sion Office will soon be an Eveless
Eden.
For six years not woman has been
selected from the civil service list of
eligibles for positions in the pension
Office The head of the Office has con-
stantly made acquisitions on the civil
service commission for certifications
of men. Deaths. designations and dis
charges have made places for many
stenographers and copyists, but wo-
men have not been considered for the
vacancies.
The civil service commissioners are
compelled by law to certify men to
appointing officers in case they make
such request. Consequently the

in examinations may have been. FIRE.
quently women who have higher
grades than men cannot be certified
10 chiefs on account of the request
that only men are desired.
Not long ago the commissioners
called the attention of the chiefs OF
bureaus to the fact that men were
securing appointments as stenOgra-
piers whose grades were down in the
seventies, while the eligible lists OF
the commissioners bore the names of
women, who had secured marks OF
ninety or more in the stenographio
examinations.
Women persist in taking the civil
service examinations despite the fact
that thev are not successful in secur
ing places. In 1902 twenty-seven
women typewriters and stenographers
We're appointed. while ia men secured
similar positions. The grand total o1
women appointed through the civi
