JOB or THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW

Gompers Down.

Attacks the Union Leaders from Samuel
Gompers Down.
Washington, March 24.-In q dis
cussiOn of the confusion which oppo-
nents of the eight-hour bill declared
would follow the enactment of that
measure into a law Frederick W. Job,
secretary of the Employers assoc!a-
ton, of Chicago, said to the senate
committee on education and labor that
he did not believe the labor leaders
of the country represented the real
views of the rank and file Of work
ingmen, organized or unorganized. He
made an attack on the leaders, assert
ing that from Gompers down these
leaders persisted in misrepresenting
conditions.
Job called attention to labor trou-
bles in which non-union men had been
beaten or shot. and said the official
organs of labor never had contained a
word of denunciation of these crimes.
As an illustration of his assertion that
the leaders did not represent the men,
Job said he had been told in conf
dence by laboring men in Chicago that
the surest way to defeat a candidate
for political office was to have him
Endorsed by the labor leaders, as the
rank and file under the Australian bal
lot systerl would vote against the can
didate

veniremen Declare They Would Not Obey
His Instructions.
Chicago. March 24.--Certain work
ingmen are suing the Great Northern
Hotel company for wages alleged to
De due them from the company. whicl
pleads that the men were not employed
by it, but by a contra ctcr named Hol-
loway. The case is On trial before
Judge Mack. The jury was in the
box and everything was ready for the
beginning of testimony when Judge
Mack addressed the jurors.
IF the evidence in this case shows
that the men did not work for the hO-
tel company, but for Holloway, as is
claimed" said he, Il will have to in
struct you to find for the defendant.
If there are any among you who are
unwilling to abide by that instruction,
whether the plaintiffs were paid by
any one or not, please let them stand
up."
To Judge Mack's evident surprise
nirie men arose. The question was
repeated to each and each declared he
would vote for payment of the porters
by the hotel company regardless of its
legal accountability On the alleged
debt. They were ordered from the box
and six of nine other yeniremen made
the same statement. Finally the jury
was properly completed.

FROM THE JAPANESE FRONT
Organization Is Perfect, but Food Hard to
Get in Korea.

Organization Is Perfect, but Food Hard to
Get in Korea.
London, March PA series of mes
sages, dated between March 10 and
March IL, sent by correspondent Of
The Daily Mail at Chinampho, Korea,
describes the perfect organization and
arrangements of the japanese in
Korea. Elaborate preparations have
been made for landing troops and adj
vancing them through the country,
and pontoon bridges and stables are
built wherever they are found to be
necessary. The greatest difficulty fac
ing the Japanese is the commissariat,
as owing to the poor food supplies Of
Korea it is only possible at present
to maintain 10000 men.
The japanese hold two enormously
strong positions at Ping Yang and
on the Miokak-San Pange, between
Hwang-Ju and Seoul. The latter, the
correspondent says, is probably m
pregnable, and secures Seoul from land
attacks from the northwest In the
event Of defeat it is intended to hold
the passes at Kazan, thus protecting
the Ping Yang valley. The japanese
troops are suffering from dysentery
and pneumonia, and many Of the cav
airy horses. which the correspondent
says are poor, have died, but the army
is full Of spirit.
There probably are 10000 japanese
at Ping Yang, which the correspondent
points out might easily have been
taken when the Russian scouts first
arrived, there being then only $50 Jap
anese soldiers The Russians intend
ed to make Anju their base, bat ow-
ing to the delay in the arrival of re-
Inducements they were afraid they
would be cut OF, and so retired. Mean
while the japanese advanced to Ping
Yang by forced marches, the troops
being almost without equipment.

Very Severely.

Nobody Killed, but Property Suffered Very
Very Severely.
The storm created havoc in the town
of Hammond, Ind. A number Of resi-
dences was badly damaged, and two
people were injured, but not fatally
One end of the large plant of the Re-
public Iron and Steel company was
blown down, causing a loss of at least
$4,000. Several business houses were
unrOofed, and the city was in total
Darkness because so many of the cleo
trio light wires were blown down that
the authorities compelled the company
to shut off all power because of the
fear that lives might be lost through
contact with live wires. In the freight
yards of the roads running through
Hammond great damage was done.
Many ears were unroofed, blown over,
and the yards in many places were
piled with wreckage.
In Grand Crossing, eight miles far
Their south. many buildings were
wrecked, freight cars blown about the
yards, and the tracks of the railroads
covered with debris to such an extent
that most of the incoming trains were
compelled to call upon their passengers
to assist in removing the wreckage
from the tracks so that the trains
could proceed.
To the north of Chicago the storm
was also severe, much damage having
been done in the suburbs of Evanston
and Rogers Park. In the city proper
no buildings were damaged to any
great extent, although there were
many leveled chimneys, and the smoke
stacks of a few factories lost their
tops. In the parks many trees and
shrubs were blown down, and the loss
in this respect will be heavy. An ex-
ceedingly heavy fall OF rain accom-.
panied the storm.

Washington, March &c. = Senator
Hansbrough, charged in the senate
that the movement to secure the re-
peal Of the desert land law, and other
similar enactments, was due to the ef-
forts of a lobby composed mainly Of
the holders Of lands bought in large
tracts from railroad companies. The
District appropriation was considered
without action and many private PEN
sion bills were passed. An executive
session was held.
The house passed the postofi1ce ap-
preparation bill after reinserting q
clause relative to rural letter carriers
which increases their salaries to $72O
year, prohibits soliciting Of business
for anybody, and permits the carriage
Of merchandise for patrons Of their
routes.
