SMITH & VERSIONS CLOSE.
Men Locked Out for Attempting to
 Form Union.

Men Locked Out for Attempting to
 Form Union.
 Springfield, Mass, May 25.-The firm of Smith & Wesson, revolver manufac- turers, closed it's factory this evening for an indefinite period. This step is taken presumably on account of labor troubles, the men having signified their intention of forming union despite the opposition of the firm.
 The following notice was posted to- day:
 This factory will be closed tonight and remain closed until further notice for purposes of reorganization. Wages will be paid at the office on receipt of statements. Any of our employees who are desirous of resuming work upon the re-opening of the factory will kindly communicate with the superin- tendent. (Signed)
 Smith & Wesson.
 May 25, 1903. Last week a number of employees were called into the office and question: ed regarding their connection with the movement to form a union and as a result eleven were discharged. The firm threatened at that time to shut down the works, but the employees did not desist from their purpose.
 Joseph w. Wesson said this after- noon that the factory would be start ed again as soon as sufficient num- Der of men, to make 1t an object to start the engine, have signified their intention of returning. In this way, it is expected, the firm will be able to sift out the union men. The Central Labor union of Springfield has indors- ed the action of the men.

DOLLIyER TO WHEELER
An Elegant Tribute from the Iowa Senator to the Hero of
 Two Wara

New York, Jan. l5.-United States Sem ator J. P. Deliver of Iowa was one of the speakers at dinner given tonight under the auspices of the Nineteenth Dis trict Assembly Republican Club. Among the guests were Joseph Wheeler of Alabama and former Governor Black.
 Senator Deliver in speech which dealt principally with the economic questions in the United States said there was no need for the apprehension in the future or for any distrust in the trusts. The poor and the children of the poor, he said, had more chance today than ever they had before
 Within twenty years" he said. "every trust magnate of today will be dead or in sanitarium for nervous diseases and the world will be looking out for trained men to do the worlds work"
 T%e Senator said men should coyer their discomforts and annoyances with their patriotism.
 Tn Congress" said Mir. Deliver. q got to love that old Confederate Cefer- ring to General Joseph Wheeler, who sat beside him) and when he was about to so to Cuba, I warned him that he was too old and that he would never .eturn.
 My boy. he said. l have prayed for ten years for an opportunity to die in the uniform of the United States.'''
 That was an example, Senator Deliver said, of the principle of discarding old feelings of personal bitterness for pat riotism.

THE HOUSE.

| Washington, Jan. 16.-The House to- day passed the army appropriation bill and began consideration of the depart ment of commerce bill under a special rule making 1t continuing order until disposed of. The opposition to the meas ure came entirely from the Democratic side and was based chiefly on the ground that the transfer of the Bureau of Labor to the new department would subordinate that bureau to a department which would represent capitalistic interests. The friends of the bill denied the assumption that the head of the new department would be hostile to labor.
 Mir. Mann QlI) made the opening argu- ment in support of the measure.
 MT. Richardson CAla) opposed 1t, prin- cipally upon the ground that the interests and welfare of the laboring classes would be subserved by the transfer of the Bu- reau of Labor to the new department The labor organizations he said, had pro- tested against the transfer. The minor position this bureau, would occupy under the new department he said would cre- ate suspicion. Everything indicated, he said that the interest and care of labor under the new department would be su- bordinate to the great interests of capi- tai and commerce.
 The bill was discussed further by Mir. Adamson (Ga.) and Scott (Kas.), who spoke for the bill, and by Messrs. Gaines (Tenn.), Davis N1a.). Clayton (Aia). shackeiford (Mo). Cochran (Mo.) and

Steele who conducted the negotia- tions bv which the Louisville and Nash vile stock was sold to the Atlantic Coast Line. Mr. Steele said there was great anxiety about the situation carry in April last and was feared that cor ner in Louisville and NasnVlile stoth was planned. MT. Steele learheo that MT. Gates had control of a large amount of the stock and sent for him. MT. StIeele said there was a conference ana if was thought wise that the road should he in conservative hands As result or this conference an agreement was entered
 
 into by him and his associates that g cer- tain amount of stock was to be secured and held. The following questions were then asked: ,-,... =, It was confidence in MT. Walters and his associates that led you to seek them to take charge of Louisville?"
 .It was. We were interested In the commercial situation and we wanted the railroad situation in the South conser- vatively handled.
 MT. Steele said further that J. P. Nor gan and Company were anxious that no interest inimical to the Southern Railroad should control the Louisville and Nash vile.
 ''What profit did J. P. Morgan Co.,. make on the transaction?"
 Tt has not been worked out" replied MT. Steele, with a laugh. There may be a loss"
 There were no other witnesses in at tendance and the commission adjourned until morning.
 Among. the witnesses called for tomor- rows session are August Belmont, George v. Baker and e. w. Perkins. &

RaileY and Port Ar,nur.

The hottest fight of the session fin the Senate was developed this afternoon be- tween Senator Bailey on the one side and Senators Hanna. Frye and AIdrich on the other, the cause being a bill by Senator Bailey establishing Port Arthur, Tex. as a pOrt of entry. The fight actually be- gan in the Senate Commerce Committee. and was transferred to the floor. Senator Bailey got very angry and until adjourn ment he prevented any bill from. being taken up by unanimous conseu& nEr. Frye being one of these to suffer. Mr. Bailey declared he intended to maintain his attitude untli the Senators yielded the right to pass the Port Arthur bill.
 It Is alleged that Senator AIdrich Is fin Standard oil. Mir. Hanna and the others sympathizing with him. and that the Standard oil Company Is opposed to malx- ing Port Arthur a port of entry since it is the port of the Beaumont oil fields, and the Standard oil Company wishes Sabine Pass made port. The quarrel threat ems to grow very bitter and there is no guessing what will be the outcome if Sen. ator Bailey keeps to his present course.

T.he Fight on Lambeth.

The fight of the triumvfrate. chosen ta dispense the Federal patronaRe in AIa- bama, against Postmaster Lambeth of Florence. continues The sole charwa against Lambeth, who has an enviabls record with the department. is that he sometimes tndulges too freely in strong drink, the easiest of all charges brought against any man and the most readily believed by individuals and the general public
 But today Congressman Richardson placed in the hands of P0stnnaater- Gan- eral Payne, personally, affldavita from nearly all the representative citizens ok Florence, including the minister's Of the Gospel. college presidents. Sunday school superintendents physicians, lawyers and merchants. submitting evidence that ths charges of inebriety against Lambeth aEa false and slanderous.
 When the Postmaster General acannea these una1swerable documents in Cone gressman RichardsOn's presence, he iE- stantly declared; Tt is impossible that this man is an inebriate.'' IL ia not un- derstood. it is needful to say, that the triumyirate alleges these serious charges against Lambeth. because they are men of honor who would not stoop to slander. as most people are aware. stiIf tha charges are on file.
 The issue remains in doubt with chances probably against Lambeth, seeing he is opposed by the referees. otherwise the triumvirate.
