LABOR TROUBLES.

The controversy between the Allied
Building Trades of the Central Labor
Union and T. f. Schneider and Duehay
& Co., of Washington, caused by the
alleged employment of non-union tile
settlers in the construction of the Wood
ley apartment house, on Columbia road,
eliminated yesterday morning in a
strike. In addition to the Woodley, it
was decided to tie up work on the Cecil,
Rochambeau, and a third apartment
house recently started at Fourteenth
and 7 streets. About $50 mechanics
of various callings affiliated with the
general council are affected by the
order. and in addition to this number,
the stone-cutters, stationary engineers,
and bricklayers ceased work. The &c
ton of the latter is claimed by the labor
leaders to be sympathetic strike, but
the employers say their inability to get
material to these men is the cause of
their suspension. The controversy has
been in progress since last September,
when, it is said, walking delegates called
on Mr.. Schneider, the architect of the
Woodley, and notified him that non-union
men we're employed as tile settlers by
Mr.. Zanier, president Of the National
Mosaic Company, with whom Mr..
Schneider had signed contract for
work on the new building. Mr..
Schneider says the union representa-
tives demanded that the contract be
called off unless The non-union
men we're discharged. This he refused
to do. A proposition was then made,
Mr.. Schneider says, that the matter be
dropped, on the condition that in the
future no non-union men be employed.
This also was refused. Since then the
situation has been delicate, and various
meetings have been held by the labor
men to decide what action to take. Con-
tractor Duehay says that the cause of
the trouble is fight for supremacy in
the carpenter trade between the Anal
gamated Society of Carpenters, Joiners,
&C., and the United Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners. In the case of the
tile settlers, he said, the men Sere en-
ployed by Mr. Schneider, but that it
was his understanding they were willing
to become union men. Quite number
of them, he said, had applied for adj
mission The labor leaders say that
the work on the four buildings in.course
of construction by Messrs. Schneider
and Duehay will be completely tied up
today. Mr.. Duehay denied this,
and stated most emphatically that the
places of the strikers would be filled
with non.union men, and the work con-
tinued without interrnption.

EVENING. NOV. 5, 1908

ALI THE real democrats In TINS
countty-and Tuesdays election gives
evidence that there are some leit-no
,natter from what State they hail, are
more than gratifed at the results of the
election in Maryland and Kentucky
In the former State the furious assaults
on Senator German, in order to defeat
Mr.. Warfeld and his party associates
on the democratic ticket, were not only
made by the press Of Baltimore, under
and at the dictation of the many bosses
in the republican party, but also
10 the full extent Of its power, by
the whole national republican admins
tration. and, worse than all, by many
deserters from, and traitors to, the parry
to which they profess allegiance. There
was, most happily, no lack Of good
management upon the part of the demo-
cratic leaders from the beginning OF the
fight. For awhile there was a slight
want Of aggressiveness upon the part OF
speakers. and Senator German, with be-
coming modesty, did not, it appears,
care to inject his personally into
the campaign. However the hour
came when he was compelled to
appear on the stage. The summon
ING of the candidates and the Maryland
republican leaders to conference at the
White House with President Roosevelt
there to receive their orders, was the
reason for Senator Goyman' appearance
His speech in his home district sum
moned the Maryland democracy to re-
hike this interference with their State
affairs by the rough rider in the White
House. and from that moment, sizing
up the mistake Of the enemy, with the
bravery. skill and self confidence of the
most consummate commander, the Sena-
tor. assisted by crops Of able lieuten-
ants, led the intrepid Phalanx OF his
plrty's true men straight on TO victory,
over their malignant and writhing and
PROSTATE foes. With Mr.. German as
President, War6eld as Governor, and
Rayner or Smith or Jackson in the Sen
ate, Maryland will once more hold her
place in the sisterhood Of States OF which
we we're all once 50 proud.

Breach ofPromise Suit Revived.

Memphis, Tenn. Nov. 5.-Through a
suit in the circuit court, the breach Of
promise suit of May L. Leaton against
former Senator Sullivan of Oxford, Miss,
is brought back into notoriety. The
style of the case is Mrs. NJ. l.. Amis,
through her husband, William Amis,
against w. " Sullivan. 1t is sequel
to the breach of promise suit which is
now pending in the courts of the Dis
trict of Columbia, and damages in the
sum of $50, 900 are asked. The suit is
based on alleged libelous and slanderous
remarks made about Mrs. Amis in public
and private. She alleges that Senator
Sullivan has bounded her since the sep
aration at Washington, driving her from
boarding houses and places of employ
ment until life is no longer endurable.
1t is alleged that her attorney has a let
ter written by Senator Sullivan offering
a money consideration for her to swear
that Congressman ''Private" John Allen,
of Mississippi, inspired the original suit.

The Dreyfus Case.

Paris, Nov. 5.-Joseph Reinach, one
of the counsel for Capt. Dreyfus at his
trial at Rennes, interviewed today as to
the progress War Minister Andre was
making in his inquiry for revision of
the Dreyfus verdict, said; Gin view
of recent developments announced
in the Chamber, the pardon of Dreyfus
cannot prevent revision of the sentence.
The only question not settled is whether
an application will be made for sentence
to be pronounced by an ultimate court,
should the Supreme Court order fresh
trial, instead of ending the case by SIM
ply breaking the first verdict"

rho situation on the Isthmus.


Panama. Nov. 5.-General Torres,
in command of the Colombian troops at
Colon. has refused to follow the ex-
annie of Panama and secede from the
Colombian government. He has even
threatened to send troops from Colon
against Panama if the latter city does
not surrender. 1t is reported that the
Colombian soldiers at Colon yesterday
threatened to burn the city and murder
all the citizens sympathizing with the
revolutionists, as well as all the Ameri-
cans in the city. The presence of the
American cruiser Nashville, at Colon,
has had the effect ofaverting temporarily,
at least. a clash between the soldiers at
Colon and the city. Should General
Torres carry out his threat and send
troops to Panama, they would, of neces-
sity, march the distance. The gunboats
Padilla and Chucuito, which are in the
service of the reyolutionists, left here
today in search of the Colombian gun
boat Bogota, which on Tuesday fired on
Panama. They have been unable thus
far to locate her. The three consuls APP
pointed at the general mass meeting yes
terday and who will conduct the provis-
ional government are: Frederick Boyd,
Jose Agustin and Arrange Tomas. After
the meeting yesterday number OF
buildings in the city hoised the new
flag of the Republico del Isthmo. The
flag consists Of four squares, two white,
one red and one blue, with two stars,
red and blue.
Word received from Colon this even
ing states that the day there has been
without development. The consular
crops here has been officially notified
that Panama has withdrawn from the
Colombian government, and has formed
the republic of Panama.
London, Nov. 5. While the revolu-
ton in the Isthmus of Panama is caus-
ing considerable comment in diplomatic
circles the concensus of opinion is that
America will be left to settle the affair
by herself, without any interference by
other nations. A British warship might
be sent to the isthmus should consular
request be made for it, but such re-
quest is hardly probable, as it is thought
the United States has sufficient force
there to prevent any losses to foreigners.
Whether the new republic will be
recognized or not, also depends largely
on the action taken by America. Should
that government choose to recognize
the republic and so notify the powers, it
is probable that the latter will take
similar action. Germany, it is learned,
will also shy clear of any political side
to the question. She will depend on
the revolutionists and Colombian forces
to respect the personal and property
rights of German citizens and will leave
the rest to America to settle.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The General Assembly of Virginia
will reconyene next Tuesday at noon to
dispose of the business of the long term
following the adoption of new State
Constitution. The report of the Re-
vision Committee on the work OF revis-
ing the statutes will be submitted and
will occupy almost the entire time of
the session. Little or no new business
will come up, and that little will be
legislation designed to remedy defects in
existing statutes or to supplement those
framed during the past eighteen months.
1t is probable that the Mann liquor law
will be amended or that amendment will
certainly be attempted. Then, too, the
pure elections law must be perfected,
and it is not improbable that the general
primary bill, offered by Messrs. Banks
dale and Keezell, will be pressed forpas-

that the session will last almost up to

Assembly, and not the new one just
elected that is to convene next Tuesday.
The new Assembly will get together on
the second Wednesday in January, 1904,
and its session will be limited to sixty
days. There will probably be but this.
one session during the ensuing two years
The new Assembly will elect a successor
Senator Daniel, or rather to re-elect the
