IN CANNON'S SPEECH

Congress will pass no anti-injunction
legislation this session, according TO the
decision reached last night by the con
ference of the House Republicans.
The conference, after considerable dis
cussion, voted 20 adjourn without reach
ing any decision on an anti-injunction
bill. During the debate Speaker Cannon
made a vigorous attack on Samuel
Gompers, who has advocated such a bill.
The legislation was advocated by Town
send and Esch OF Wisconsin.
So evenly was the sentiment divided
for and against the bill that three votes
were necessary to secure an adjourn

payment of their subscriptions. Atten- ton will be called to the fact that the conditions for building are now much better than last fall when the delay was decided upon. The plans are more perfect and better matured and ma terial is cheaper and it is believed that a fine structure can be erected for $60, ,000, the amount desired to be put into a building. The board would like very much to be able to award a contract for construction not later than the first week in April. Never theless it does not want to do so un- less it has in the treasury, available for use, at least half the cost of the building, and at the present time there is less than $7,OO0 in the treasury
 During the stringency of last fail when the money conditions were not to be depended upon the payment of November 10, the second due from sub scribers, was not pushed. It is now believed that all subscribers should be able to pay all arrearages promptly and those who can pay up in full will earn the gratitude of the board. Some paid in full at the beginning and many have paid up promptly but there are many others who missed the November pay ment and are behind that much.

CALIFORNIA WOMAN
 INQUIRIES FOR A SON
She Is Fearful That He May Have Been A. R. Sanderson, Lately Killed at Marico2a.

There is a woman in California who fears that A R. Sanderson, the hotel waiter, who was killed near Maricopa in falling from a train a couple of weeks ago may be her son. She is Mrs. w NJ. Hardie Of rural route No. 2, Oleander, Fresno county. Acting Coroner JOhnstone yesterday received q letter from her in which she says that she is looking for a lost son who is also a hotel waiter. Ills name was Willie Hardie but the mother writes that boys are said sometimes to change their names.
 She sends a description of her miss ing boy His age is about twenty seven; height, five feet eight or nine inches: complexion. fair; hair, light brown and straight; eyes, light brown, small; eyebrows, black and heavy; nose slightly aquiline; fine mouth and well shaped lips, but thick; teeth sound; shoulders and hips broad. Another distinguishing mark was the enlarged and rounded first Jolnt of the right thumb.
 This description was shown to sev- eral who knew Sanderson. They said that while it fit him in several partic ulars. especially as to height and com plexion it is so different in other re- spects that they are sure that Sander son and Hardie are different persons.

A VOICE FROM THE
 SPEAKERS AT BEARDSLEY.

To the Editor of The Republican.
 Sir: An impression has gone abroad which has strengthened by an article appearing in The Republican of March 1st that sheareTs in general are an unreasonable lot of men. These are some of the facts. These men came long distances for this work; from Montana, Oregon, California and Wy oming; in fact from all over the west ern sheep country. Their expenses are heavy. They wear out a great many tools, especially when the grinding is faulty as has been the case at Beardsley this season. A de- sire for better board was universal among the men and had its bearing on the general discOntent. Since the making of camp at Beardsley on Feb ruary End there were three days of idleness on account of rain. And there was break of seven and arhalf days because for reasons unknown to the shearers the sheep did not appear. All this time the shearers paid board at the rate of one dollar per day. They furnish their own bedding and many their own tents. The high figures mentioned in The Republican of March 1st were reached only once, on Feb ruary 18th when We made a record, an account of which appeared in your columns of February 18th. The in ference to an outsider would be that this was d common occurrence to earn from twleve to twenty dollars per day. when the fact is the average made that day was never equaled by a shearing crew in the United States or Australia. A very common average is from eight to ten dollars a day while actually working. The figures twelve to twenty dollars per day were for exceptionally easy sheep and are al- gether misleading. Considering all the shearing done, and all in sight, the pay will not land the average shearer to his next shearing point with one
