LABOR UNIONS PREPARING
PROGRAM FOR MEETING.
State Association of BARRIERS Has Draft
ed a Bill Which 1T VIII Ask the Next
Legislature 10 consider.

Among the most important matters
that are expected to come up at the
twenty-second annual meeting of the
Indiana State Federation of Labor, to
be held in Indianapolis, Sept. %, % and
|27. are questions of legislation.
It is proposed that a bill be indorsed
providing for a law by which barber
shops may be closed on Sundays. The
members of the Journeymen BARRIERS
international union have had a long
aud hard hglic s4A NsgIfeir attempt to
close the barber shops on Sundays, and
have found that proceedings brought
under the present law have ended in
a most unsatisfactory manner. The
state association of the BARRIERS has
drafted a bill, and it is the wish of
the association to have the state fed
GRAFTON endorse this bill and work for
it's passage in the next session of the
state legislature.
Under the head of legislation it is
probable that a bill will be drawn at
the convention for the amendment of
the present factory inspection law.
Among other things, as contemplated,
the bill Will provide for increasing the
factory inspectors force and will pro-
vide that women less than 81 years
old shall not be permitted to work in
tobacco factories. 1t is said that it
has been found that work in such fac
tories is injurious to woman's nerves.
Primary Election Bill.
Among other legislation that is ex-
pected to come up for discussion and
action is a direct primary election bill
and amendment to the mining laws.
The State Federation has been active
in legislative matters for a number of
years and has assisted materially in
the passage of a number of bills that
were of benefit to labor unionists and
to the public in general.
The federation has not had Smooth
shedding" all it's life. In 1883 an effort
was made to turn it into political ma
chine and the organization was nearly
divided as a result. but the effort fail
ed and the federation more than re
gained its former strength. Again, in
1894. when politics came up again the
effort was unsuccessful, and now the
organization is said to be stronger thar
| it ever was.

COST TOO MUCH
TO TRY OUT CASE

Judge Poindexter this morning on
the motion of the prosecuting at
torney dismissed the case of the
state against Joseph Paine for as
sault and battery committed last
August on the person of Annie
Breen, a demi-monde. In Judge
Hinkle's court, Paine was fined S.
and costs, but appealed to the SUI
perior court. He has paid the costs
and Deputy Prosecutor Pugh stated
to the court that inasmuch as the
Breen woman is in Seattle and
expense would be incurred in get
ting her here, it was not worth the
time and money to try out a case
of such petty magnitude as the col
lection of the fine of IS.

CONGRESS REEkS With GRAFT:
HOUSE PRACTICALLY ABOLISHED

Others in cheap, trifling things. But
one of the most interesting discov-
cries is to the effect that one form
of graft has already nearly abol-
ished the house of representatives
The house is one man-Jos. G. Can
non. The rest of its nominal mem
bers have abdicated.
The little congressman from Four
Corners sells out his vote on any
and all general legislation for the
sake of an appropriation for his To-
cal postoffice or harbor Improve
ment.
Local appointments, and local
legislation are the cheap price for
which the rank and file of the mem
bers of the house of representa-
tives have surrendered their votes
They dare not have an opinion on
any matter of legislation which af.
fects the country as a whole. Those
matters are determined absolutely
by the speaker of the house, with
the aid, perhaps, of half a dozen
henchmen.
There is no real house of repre-.
sentatives.

Staff Special to The Press.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. c.
Shall the United States senate be
abolished?
That is the question which is
soon to be answered in the affirma-
tive by Mr.. Lincoln Steffens, spe-
cial writer on graft, who has been
in Washington making a study of
that institution.
There has been a rush of special
graft students to Wahsington-Mr.
Palmer, Mr.. Ray Stannard Baker,
Mr.. Will Payne and a considerable
raft of lesser lights.
The result, it is learned on direct
authority, is batch of indictments
on all known statutes against graft
ing, and a recommendation that the
accused be held to answer to the
general elections. Steffens adds a
sentence of determination for the
senate.
Investigators do not have to
scratch very deep below the sur
face to find that representatives
and senators are nearly all graft
ers, Some graft in a large way;

it? with all the silver in my green

were more than 400 verses to his
song, and I was getting excited,
when I heard another step on the

The young fellow was just begin

"Why, it's, it's-oh, it's singing,

"Who got you to do it," says
jim.
"Who what?' says the young fell

So saying, Jim walks the young

WANT TAXES
CANCELLED

]. B. Lippincott, through Attor-
ney P. F. Quinn, has commenced
mandamus proceedings against the
city of Spokane and City Treasurer
Eggleston, to compel the municipal
authorities to cancel taxes and as
sessments on lot / of block 80 of
Railroad addition.
The matter has been in litigation
for some time and in June of 1904
Judge Richardson granted a decree
cancelling the items. But the
items still remain on the books and
Lippincott has secured an order re-
turnable Feb. 81, requiring the city
authorities to show cause why
mandamus should not issue.

AND ALL THAT THIS OLD Raj
FILES GOT WAS A SWEET
WHITE ROSE.

They were setting the table when
Jim and me strolled by there first,
and there was as pretty a bit of
silver lying around as ever you see.
Lets see 'em when they puts
it up" said Jim.
So we fetched around that way
when they were a-clearing off the
table, and We sees them shove the
silver in closet and lock the door
That's tempting Providence"
says jim.
Now you wouldn't want a better
thing than that, would you? Sim
pie and easy as it could be, and
Jim and me arranged about melting
down the Doodle.
We arranged that l was to get in

l put up long thin blade up be-

and stepped into the dining room.

of three star brandy there, and then
stepped over and opened the clo-
set with my skeleton key. Pretty
lot of stuff it was when l turned
my dark lantern on it. Nothing ire
mendous, but nice respectable lot
of silver that was a credit to the
family. l had a green baize bag to
pack it in, and l had it all in up to
the spoons, and laid down the bag,
went over to sample the three-star
brandy again, when | heard a step
outside. l shut off my glim and
stopped just where l was. l

thing, and come up to give me the

Then heard somebody cough

cussed fool a-standing there in the
grass with his guitar over his

sing-some rotten nonsense about
a gondolier, about if we only took
