Suggestion to National Metal Workers
to Be Pushed.

the metal trades of the United States may
act as a unit and, If need be. call vast

whole country. is suggested by President
Gompers of the American Federation of
Labor. who yesterday issued a call to John

workers unions of Chicago. The object
of the plan is to have all the contracts

industry can have the full power of their
entire national strength to enforce their
demands.
The plan was originated by Gompers and
is being passed out by him to the leaders
of the local declarations of labor which are
affiliated with the national body. These
will take the same action as that taken by
the Chicago federation.
Within a few days the movement will
have spread all over the country and the
labor leaders will begin working out the
details which shall make the system effect

the idea and will give it hearty support.

the bottom facts. the case of the alleged
expulsion of two marines from the Com
gressional Library Tuesday evening. The
Secretary has received from Gen. FL
lott. commandant of the Marine Corps. "A
report of the incident based upon state
ments forwarded to him by Major Charles
G. Long, commanding the marine barracks
in this city, and by the officer of the day
last Tuesday.
These reports contain the story of the

rnes, who represent that they were eN-
PEELED from the building on account of their
uniform. The two men are given an excel
lent character by Maj. Long
Gen. Elliott insists, in his report to Secre-
tary Metcalf, that the action of the officials
at the library and of the marines be thor
oughly investigated with a view to clear
ing away, if the facts warrant It, the
aspersion which the publications OF the
affair have placed upon the marines.
At the suggestion of Secretary Metcalf.
Gen. Elliott has called upon the two ma
rneS for written statements of the affair.
Pending the receipt of these statements no
further action will be taken by the Navy
Department until it is in position to take
up the subject with the authorities of the
library.
The men excluded say that they were
compelled to leave the library on account
of the conSpicuousnesS of their uniform.
According to ]. w. Wardemann, captain of
the watch in the library building. the men
were ordered out because they annoyed
women by attempting to fiirt with them.
