How il Helps the wage-Worker

For the first time in fifty years, the
wage.workers of the state have been
recognized in a political platform.
Fusion offers the following pledges:-
The passage of law to exempt from
trustee process all wages amounting
to less than $40 per week, and when
over that amount are trusted, the ex-
cess only to be assigned to the credi-
tor.
A law by which all employees shall
be legally entitled to receive payment
for their labor in money, and II the
employer pays in any other form, the
employee to be entitled to sue at any
time within six years for the full
amount of his wages.
Providing proper rules for the con-
struction of all plumbing and steam
fitting and for the laying OF pipe and
the making of sewer connections, and
for the appointment OF practical in
spector of the same.

EPlTOME OF DOINGS IN
CONGRESS YESTERDAY

Washington, d. c., May 16.-Follow-
ing is a brief resume taken from the
official records of yesterdays proceed
ings in both houses of congress:
SENATE-The senate spent the great

vote by which the anti-pdss section of
the bill was adopted was recOnSidered,
and several substitutes were offered.
but no final action had been taken when
the senate adjourned until today.
SE-The house voted to transfer
from the district commissioners to the
supreme court OF the District OF Co
lumbia the power to appoint the board
of education of Washington. The ma
val appropriation biH was then taken
up. The employment of consulting

station at Lake Bluff. Ill, was author

limit repairs on ship to 10 per cent OF
the cost was defeated by vote of SO

it was charged that millions of dollars

which often amounts to reconstruction
of ships. When the section dealing with
the increase of the navy was reached
the house adjourned until today.
