Virginia Union UnhcId.

A decision OF more than ordinary in
terest 20 Virginia members OF the Junior
Order Of United American Mechanics was
handed down yesterday by the Supreme
Court of the United States. 1t upholds
the faction chartered by the State OF
Virginia, as against that sanctioned by
the National Council.
The council that possessed a State char
ter sought to obtain an injunction re-
sjraining the opposing faction. AMI this
was resisted on the ground that the act
Of legislature granting the State charter
was unconstitutional
But the State courts upheld the act. and
their position was affirmed by the Su-
preme Court, in an opinion delivered by
Justice Holmes, who held that q State
has the right TO exclude foreign corpora
tons
One OF the chief points raised by the
national council was that the State leg
islature had no authority under the ma
tional constitution of the order to alter
that document. II is asserted that this
was done by omitting the provisions for
the protection of Americans from the
competition OF foreigners in the labor
market. for the maintenance Of American
schools free from sectarian influence. and
for the reading OF the Bible in the public
schools.

ASK REICHMANN TO EXPLAIN.
War Department ohieiaIs Interested
in Captains Statements.

The War Department viii ask Capt.
Carl Reichmann. OF the Seventeenth In
fantry. now in Cuba, to explain the state
ment he made in a letter TO a friend in
New York, subsequently published, to the
effect that he was denied assignment TO
the general staff Of the army, because
he was not a native citizen, and that he
was greatly panied by the suspicion d.
rected against him.
Capt. Relchmann said also that he had
been Disseminated against. and that the
reasons, besides the matter Of citizenship.
included the fact that he was not affected
with Angl0-mania or Japanese-mania. IL
Is this last view OF Capt. Reichmann 5
that the department Is interested, mas
much as anything else The character OF
Capt. Reichmanns response viii deter
mine the departments further action ir
the matter If he acknowledges having
written the letter. II is not unlikely thai
he will be court-martialed-
Capt Reichmann was an observer fol
the United States army during the Boei
war, being attached to the Boer forces
and was attached to the Russian arm!
during the RussO-Japanese hostilities.

with the affairs in the bindery.
''The bindery has always been re-
qulred 10 turn out a fair days work Of

SUbforeman W. NJ. Connor, another Of

resignation, according to the men en-
ployed in his division. withdrew it and

Bernard Rover, son Of Thomas Rover,
who conducts a grocery store opposite

ployes Of that department

HOW A BAR IS BARRED.

Senator Lodges Home Town.
The anti-canteen law has confronted
the military authorities in peculiarly
acute form by the belated discovery that

which has been leased by the War De

fortifications there as a part Of the har-
Dor defense OF Boston. 1t Is only loaned

the opinion Of the enemies OF the post

selling intox!cants, it is alleged. and no
denial of the charge is attempted by the
proprietor Of that resort.
The War Department authorities have
taken up the subject, and have come TO
the conclusion that the maintenance of

and that il must be closed or the lease by
virtue OF which the hotel occupies a
place on the tract revoked. The fact that

Conditions at the Government Print
ing Office are much mixed up. There IS
more friction evidently than for many
years past The Public Printer and many
OF the employees are in constant hot
water
Nj Stillings during his brief incumbency
has succeeded in making the Government
Printing Office AN open shop and ma
teriaIly reduced expenditures His friends
say that he is working harder than any
other Public Printer ever worked, and
that the outcry against him is due to
needed reformations he is endeavoring to
bring about It is asserted that there is
a concerted movement by disgrunued en-
ployes and ex-employes TO hamper and
discredit him in the hope of forcing him
out Of office This is one side Of the case.
Some of the Grievances.
The other side OF the case is that. ad-
mitting Mr.. Stillings' good intentions, the
place is too big for him; that he does
not know how to handle men; that he
goes about his reforming in a wrong and
an offensive way; that he shows utter
lack Of regard for those under him, that
some Of the methods he has instituted
tend. while saving money for Uncle Sam,
TO reduce the women and men on the
payroll to starvation wages; that he is a
poor Judge Of men and a poor discipli-
marian. and that his administration has
resulted in general unrest, confusion, and
disorder
There is deep resentment Of many things

On the other hand, Mr.. Stillings' friends

SHORT WEIGHTS NOT ILLEGAL
Commissioner VIII Ask for LeEis-
IatiOn to Protect Buyers.


The present law regulating the use OF
weights and measures does not prohibit
a dealer from selling less than he charges
for so long as his scales and measures
are UP TO the Government standard. In
other words. q customer who is short
weighted has no recourse.
This was discovered when the Court
of Appeals upheld a police court decision
in q case brought against Horace Grant
a clerk employed by D. F. Haupt. a poul-
try dealer in which he was charged with
a violation of an act Of June, 1906. The
charges were preferred by a Mrs Kap-
neck, who purchased what was supposed
to be eight pounds Of chickens from the
clerk At the Office of the sealer OF
Ights and measures, il was found that
the chickens weighed but six pounds.
Suit was instituted under the act OF
last June, but IL was shown that Haupt $
scales were correct, and that is the only
protection the law affords the pur-
chaser
The sealer has requested the Commits
sioners to recommend additional legisla-
ton to prevent such transactions. and
