MR.. McHUGH HETORrs.

Mr. AfcHueh hotIy retorted that Mr..
Mcdonald never was rriend OF labor.
Mr.. Ogden suggested that the house get
down TO business and consider the Dill.
The amendment was ADOPTED ana the
section was accepted.
There were other minor amendments
made TO the following sections, one OF
these being the removal from section 13
of any limitation. In the matter OF appeal

the place OF repeal 10 the common pleas
division for a jury trral. Section l6 was
SO amended that the certificate OF action
nv any town council In adopting the pro-
visions OF the bill be filed within ten days.
On the adoption OF teh final secuon OF
the hill Mr. Mccarthy offered an amend
ment i'm TIE form OF an additional section
which provides that the provision OF the
bin should not become operative In any
one town or city until formally adopted
by the town or city council.
Mr. Fitzgerald opposed the amendment

this being a provision which exempted the
provisions OF sections 81 and b3 OF Chap-
ter 500 or the Public Laws from applyihs
TO the bill.
on looking up the sections referred to II
was found that this related TO the ap-
pointive power of the governor and the
smendment proposed would be 10 give
appointive power wholly TO the governor.

and stated that I'm section or the Dill
II was provided that the hoard OF COM
missioners be appointed with the advice
and consent OF the senate. He believed
that "a that section OF the bill had been
adopted the proper motion would be to
reconsider that section.

taken.

The decline In many issues has been

justified In asking the question"Has not

Edwin c. Wind, organizer OF the local
union, spoke upon the nine hour day and
the resulting benefits. In the course or
his remarks he showed that the neces-
saries OF life have been consequently in

steadily diminishing.
The speaker explained how organiza-

also the employer. At present con-
siderable number OF jewellers are employ

speaker of the evening.
His remarks were very interesting and
most instructive. He spoke of the differ

New York and Newark were very strong
and on most friendly terms with tho
employers.
He discountenanced strikes and told
how the nine-hour day was gained In
New York. He laid particular emphasis
upon the fact that the union should try
to work I'm harmony with the employers.
Mr.. j. Monahan made a witty speech,
scoring the philanthropists who found

that the jewellers as n class are well In

that they must organize for their own

gate In the GensraI Assembly.

Below will be found the letter which
Representative Mcdonald attempted 70
read I'm the house today, When ne WaS
stopped by point OF order:
brotherhood of Painters. Decorators ana
Paperhangers of America. Union No. 10.
Providence. h. /. Address OF writer
West avenue. an ,oo,
Mr. Joseph Mcdonald, State House, ETov-
idence:
Dear sr-In the newspaper reports to-
day Of the discussion in the house OF rep
resentatives over the BARRIERS Bill Mr..
Palmer IS quoted as stating that "Mr. Nc
Hugh was the representative OF organized
labor and the State Federation of La
hor" Permit me TO enlighten you upon
the fact that Mr.. McIiugh Is not the rep
resentative Of organized labor In the state
house any more than any other represen-
tative sitting there is.
In talking this matter over with Mr..
Hohler, president OF the state branch or
the American Federation OF Labor, he
slates that / could quote him saying
that Mr.. McIlugh does not represent that
organization, neither does he look upon
him as a labor representative, and, I'm
fact, there is no particular person or
party representing the trades unions In
the house. Mr.. McIiugh was elected as
straight Democratic representative, and
n he has left the pastures OF the Demo-
cratic party TO browse into others where
he imagines he will find more clover that
Is another matter.
But desire TO assert that neither Mr..
McHugh or any other person I'm the state
house is the representative OF the labor
unions OF this city or state.
Why, the man only joined labor union
n few weeks before the last fall election,
when he was forced 10 Join the union or
be driven out OF the Democratic party.
When the trades unionlsts OF this city
elect man To represent them In the
state house IL will not be "A man who has
got into the union for political office.
Neither will the union men be bluffed 10y
any by-play that either OF the political
parties are playin, TO catch the votes OF
the trades unionists.
/ hope the 'Solons'' In the state house
do not take Mr. McHugh seriously as one
OF our representative men. because IL you
do you are greatly mistaken. Yours truly

not CERTAIN
OF EXTRA
SESSION
President Roosevelt Has Not
Yet Decided Whether or Not
He viii Call Ono.

Washington, March BIT can be stated
with authority that President Roosevelt
has not definitely made UP his mind TO
call an extraordinary session OF the bSth
congress. He. however is considering
the practicability OF doing so.
When he was informed that IL was the
intention OF the senate so TO amend the
Cuban reciprocity treaty as 10 render
action on IL by the house Of representa-
tives necessary TO make IL effective, he
informed some members OF the senate
that he would hold himself free 10 call an
extraordinary session of the congress In
order TO secure action on IT. No definite
time was mentioned by the president for
the meeting OF the session.
The president Is much In earnest In his
desire 10 have the Cuban treaty ratified
and made effective He even has con-
sidered the advisability OF calling rhe
congress into extraordinary session this
spring II the senate should permit the
Cuban treaty 10 fail through lack of a
quorum.
aThe belief of the president and his ad-
visers. however. is that the senate VIII
take definite action upon both the Pana-
ma canal and Cuban reciprocity treaties
at the present extraordinary session. As
surances to that effect have been re-
ceived from the leaders OF the senate.
The president believes also that this
work OF the senate will have been accom-
plished by the last OF next week.
Further than that the president holds
himself free" TO call an extraordinary
session of the 5Sth congress. nothing has
been determined.
