V1des for verbal contract Of not more
than per cent interest named, or for
written contract of not more than 10 per
cent, the only penalty for violating the
law being forfeiture of all the interest by
the lender He objected to putting usury
possible to evade usury laws. however
they are framed. He insisted that the
only legislation along this line calculated
TO help the poor would be law specifying
that banks make loans more accessible
Wilton j. Lambert argued that the pres
ent law defining usury and providing for
forfeiture of interest was ample to pro-
tect the borrower. He thought the effect
of such legislation as was proposed would
be to put legitimate lenders out of busi-
ness and leave in it only "scalawags" Mr..
law would be hardship on the poor peo-
pie of the District rather than relief for
them.
Charles Linkin spoke briefly along the
same line.
Senator Thurston said he represented
several brokers who are not money sharks
but who do an open business in lending
money. None of them was growing rap
idly or enormously rich. He was convinced
that the present law adequate and
the punishment of forfeiture of interest
sufficiently severe. He thought lack of
all usury laws would be beneficial to the
poor classes and would obtain for them
better rates on which to borrow He also
contended that the enactment of the bill
would degrade the money lenders Of the
District putting into the business men
Of a character so low as to be willing to
run the risk of Imprisonment and the con-
sequent disgrace
''What little agitation there has been to
make usury penal offense," he said, has
come from government employees who five
on salaries and are at times compelled to
borrow money on short notice"
The passage Of the bill, Mr.. Thurston
said, would not help this class. The lend
ers, obliged to run great risk, would
charge higher rates. That would harm
instead of benefit the borrowers.
The subcommittee then announced that
it was not in favor of making usury
penal offense.

CHICAGO LABOR CRISIS
LONG. AND BITTER STRIKE
SEEMS NOW INEVITABLE.

CHICAGO, May S.-A long and bitter
strike, involving probably all of the build
ing trade unions. seems inevitable in the
building industry as a result of the attitude
shown last night by the structural iron

the arbitration proposal of the contractors
The men voted to stand firmly for their full
demands
Frank NJ. Ryan. international president
OF the iron workers union, came from St
Louis to attend the meeting and to warn the
iron workers that the organization Is in
volved In a dozen other strikes throughout
the country. He talked for two hours be-
fore the strikers, but at the end of the
meeting was forced to admit sentiment
was too strong against peace.
THE situation is extremely serious and
has many of the ear-markS of another
great conflict In the building industry like
that of 19O0,'' he said. 'rhe iron workers
are determined to have S5 day. They will
not accept q compromise"
Equal determination was shown by the
contractors who met in the chamher of
commerce.
1t developed that the American Bridge
Company. backed by the United States Steel
CORPORATION, has entered the fight.
Employers also began active preparations
to conduct fight against the iron molders
union, which has declared a strike against

the injunction proceedings of the Dowie at
torneys the plea is made that Zion is a
trust estate and that the property owners

cheney as the head of lions Industries and
of being a victim of "haliucnations." The
answer Is signed by fourteen followers of

In the night the beaurocrats have executed
this damnable conspiracy against the peo-
pie. The best parts of the fundamental
laws as issued are worse than the worst
parts or any European constitution.
L asked the conVentio to adopt a mod
crate attitude, but now we have the right
to be radical. We must Immediately an
swer this challenge"
NJ. Rodichieff then presented a resolution
In substance as follows:
New Provocation to the People.
"On the eve of the meeting of parlia-
ment the government has flung down new
provocation to the people by the issue of
the fundamental law and by depriving their
representatives of the right to revise It,.
The ruling bureaucracy resumes It's ancient
power, and parliament. the center of the
peoples hopes, Is shorn of the rights SOL
emnly conferred upon it by the manifesto
of October 80 The party OF the peoples s
liberty and the members OF parliament see
in this act an open and fragrant violation
Of the peoples rights and announce that
no bureaucratic government can stop the
peoples representatives from accomplishing
their duty
When the reading of the resolution was
finished there arose storm Of cries of TOO
weak. but NJ. Rodiechien appealed to the
members of the convention not to lose their
heads, as the government had. but to show
themselves strong and calm.
His appeal carried the day and the con-
vention adopted the resolution by a stand
ing vote.
Previously the convention was forced to
adopt a more radical declaration of the
subject of the agrarian problem, laying
down the general principle that the land
belonged to those who titled 1t, leaving the
details Of the project to be presented to
parliament by the central committee. Only
in this way could the leaders avoid decla-
ration in favor of the naturalization of the
land.
Count Solsky has been appointed presi-
dent of the council of the empire.
N. Freesh. a member of the council of the
empire, has been officially designated to
open the lower house of parliament.

riously Wounded

PUEBLO, Colo, May S.-Deputy sheriffs
today fired into a crowd of riotous strik-
ers at the Peublo smelter. An Italian was
killed and two other strikers were serious
ly wounded. Two deputies were previously
badly beaten in an effort to disarm the
strikers. The deputies are still on guard at
the smelter, but no further trouble is ex-
pected.
The trouble arose over the Inauguration
of an eight hour day. The men demanded
the same pay for eight hours as formerly
was paid for ten hours. One hundred strik-
ers gathered at the plant and endeavored
TO keep strike breakers from entering.
Several fights were in'progress when the
sheriff and his deputies arrived. There
were many women in the crowd and when
the sheriff ordered 1t to dispense. the wom-
en- attacked them and some one fired a
shot. Immediately the deputies fired a
voiley, killing one man and wounding two
others. The strikers at once scattered.
