Mining. irrigation and Lumber inter
eats win Feel Effect Of ECONOMY.
Washington. Juae i2.-House repre-.
sentAtivss struck a severe blow to the
entire VEST in cutting down the ALL
important appropriation Tor the geo
logical survey carried by the sundry
civil bill, and unless the senate In
cre~nes these items, mining. irrigation
and lumber interests will feel the effect
OF the house legislatlon. In All 1885,
600 hzs been cut Oh the geological sur
vey appropriation.
The government was about to begin
the testing 81 mineral fuels Of the
West, including the Goals and lignitse
OF tho Pacific coast. Little work OF this
character can be- done, sor the appro-
priation WAS only 400, 900, when twice
that amount has been annually aprro-
prsated for similar work In the East.
Instead Of 400, 900 to carry ON the
Investigation OF mineral resources, In
Guiding black sand experiments At Port
land, the house grants but $50, 900.
This will shut off the black sand work
entirely. when the present special fund
Ia expended,
The appropriation Tor forest reserve
surveys N cut from $3.50, 900 to $780,
900 and cnt OF tbe. 900 IL made In
the appropriation for topographic sur
vsys, which form the basis OF all the
geological survey work. Congress has
been appropriating 1900, 900 annually
to gauge streams preliminary 10 under
taxing actual irrigation work. This IL
cut TO 400. 900 and means material in
reference with irrigation surveys In To-
calities where new projects are contam-
plated.
Another cnt that will be felt Is In
the appropriation for the annual report
on mineral resources OF the United
States. This will cut down the sub
ject matter OF the valuable government
document and will restrict the issue to
the inconvenience OF the mining inter-
ests OF the country.

s : "a enlarged upon today by Charles r.
s Mi, commissioner OF labor, in his
testimony before the house committee

Mbss cross-examinatioD, especially oy
chairman Wadswortb, the author OF
,hs hi to make the government pay
tha cost of inspection, and Mr.. Lori
s as Republican boss, OF Chicago, aud
ha even accused these gentlemen OF
ouibbling and seeking to discredit him.
Hs was championed by several mem.
hers OF the committee, who resented
tbe tone of some OF the questions.
The # sct OF the questions was only
70 amnhasixe the worst of Mr.. Neill's
charges. He described floors black with
altbs which all the seas could not
wash clean; he identified diseases from
which employees we're suffering by the
smell of the medicines they carried
he told again the story OF the hog
which slipped into the wrong place
he answered the statement that girls
ware allowed to sit by saying they had
nothing to sit upon; be gave graphic
word picture of man climbing with
hands. knees and feet over pile OF
meat; he denied that packing houses
are open to the public.
Before Mr.. Neill testified, Thomas
Wilson, representative OF the packers,
finished his testimony. He declared
MED the possibility of passing on the
cost of inpection to cattlemen, and pre-
dicted disaster to the livestock indus
| try, as we'll as to the packers, from ths
loss of foreign trade.

Boise--The right OF contractors to
work men more than eight hours on
government reclamation work has been
raised here by the Federal Labor union,
OF this city. The union has prest nted
the matter to United States District
Attorney Ruick, ii being stated that
the men are worked 10 hour. Ru'ck
has not yet given an opinion.
A large proportino Of the men en-
ployed are foreigners, they are con
stantly coming and going, and 1t is
held they do not care whether they
work eight hours or ten, while the con-
tractors would be hard hit ii they were
obliged to limit the hours to eight.
On the portion Of the work being done
by the government the limit will be
eight, but the lsborers will be paid less
than the going wages for such work.
Skilled men will probably be paid
the going rate, but Ii is felt 1t will be
necessary to make the wages OF the
mass of the men In accordance with the
hours.
