LAB0RERSWATCHFUL
UNIONS WILL PRESENT ANOTHER
 MEASURE.
COngressmen Cary and AIeDermOtt, Tel- egraph Operators, are Looking After LegisIatton and Are
 Opposed to Taft.

Washington. Feb. 1s.-(Special. )- The labor unions have e legislative committee which keeps a close watch on everything that happens while Con- gress is in session. Hardly anything escapes their attention where the cause of the working men is at stake,
 These people were very much exer- cised when the Supreme Court recently rendered a decision in the case of the Matters Union by which that organi- zation was classed with the trusts and amenable to the operation of the Sher- man antitrust law. That decision was sumner and for time the legisla- tive committee did not know which way to turn after the highest judicial tribunal of the land had taken a reef in some of their sails, as it were.
 But they aresresourceful as well as watchfuI. and some of their men have way of going carefully through the permanent Congressional Record with view of ascertaining just what was said and done when a bill affecting la Dor has been before either branch of Congress.
 They have discovered enough to war rant them in having their friends iI;- troduce another bill in the House which they are positive if enacted will stand the test before the court.
 The Record shows that on March 21. 1890. while the sherman antitrust bill was before the Senate. the late Scna- tor James z. George of Mississippi of- fered the following amendment 70 the bill:
 This act shall not be construed to apply to any arrangements, agreements or combinations between laborers made with the view of lessening the number of hours of labor, or of increasing their wages; nor any arrangements. agree ments or combinations among persons engaged in horticulture or agriculture made with the view of enhancing the price of agricultural or horticultural products.
 It was adopted by the unanimous vote of the Senate. March 25. 1890 There being absolutely no opposition to it's adoption it was not even deemed necessary to discuss 1t at any length.
 Senator Ste wart of Nevada expressed great satisfaction because he said anGh
