STRIKE LASTS TWO HOURS
Forty Men Walk Out at Metropoli

union Labor Causes Brief
Successful Tie-up.

Forty men employed in the New Metro
politan Bank Building, on Fifteenth street,
went out on strike yesterday. The
trouble was soon adjusted. however. and
after losing two hours the men returned
to work. The strike was as quiet and
effective as that on the New Municipal
Building last week.
After being halted last Thursday by
the threat Of a strike, the negroes in the
employ Of the George W. Knox Company
returned TO the hank building yesterday
morning and started to work putting up
the immense steel vault. There seemed
| 10 be some misunderstanding on the part
Of the directing heads as how to proceed.
Last week the iron workers complained
against laborers in the employ Of the
Knox company doing the work on the
vault They threatened strike, and the
architect in charge Of the building stopped
work on the vault TO await instructions
! from New York.
/ Yesterday the Knox men came 10 the

PHILIPPINE ACT ATTACKED,
Law RatifyIng Mckinley Tariff Order
Now Before Supreme Court.

Claims already filed for the refunding
Of some S4.500.00O of duties paid on mer-
Chandise imported into the Philippine Is
lands from the United States under the
tariff order promulgated by President Nc
Kinley are dependent upon case argued
yesterday before the Supreme Court. 1t is
the appeal of the government from the
decision of the Court of Claims that the
law passed by Congress last June for the
purpose of ratitying the collection of du-
ties in the war period was Intellectual,
and Conrad & Heinezen were entitled to
recover the amount of the duties paid.
That law was passed as consequence
of the courts decision last spring that
the imposition of duties under the war
tariff was Illegal. never having been con
frmed by Congress, and being beyond the
power of the President. The Court of
Claims in effect held that the action Of
Congress in attempting to head off the
payment of the claims came too late.
The case was argued by Attorney Gen.
eraI Van Orsdale, Solicitor General Hoyt,
and Attorney General Bonaparte for the
government. the latter making the con
Guiding speech, and by F r. Coudert and
H. n. Ward. Of New York, for the claim
ants.
