Paris, May Both public sympathy
and the law seem today to be clearly
against the Posts, Telegraphs and Tele-
phones Employees association, which
yesterday threw down the gage of bat
tie to the government by Transforming
itself into a syndicate or union, under
the laws of 1884. This action placed the
association on the same footing as the
workmen's unions. and was calculated
to give it the right to strike against-its
employer, the state.
The newspapers this morning. with
the exception of the extreme socialist
organs. are unsparing in their denUn-
citation of the stand taken by the assO-
citation as an act of rebellion. and they
urge the government to proceed with
energy and crush the instruction be
fore the movement engulfs the other
categories of state employees.
Purpose Of the Movement.
Evidence accumulated today that the
formation of this union yesterday was
only the first step in a far-reaching
plan of the general Federation of Labor
to place the entire machinery of the
government at its mercy.
The law of 1884 limits unions to pro-
LESSONS and trades engaged in com
petitive industry" and the attorney
general of the republic is expected to
decide summarily that the syndicate
is illegal and order its dissolution.
As soon ds this is DONE the organ
izers of the movement will be subject
to heavy fines and Imprisonment if they
persist in meeting.
Action of Railroad Men.
The congress of railroad men. at Sc
cret session today, decided 10 submit
the question Of a general strike to a
referendum, and appointed a permanent
strike committee.
Dispatches from Lyons, Havre and
other cities say the Posts. TelegTaphs
and Telephones Employees association
has voted in principal for a general
strike

Hope of Prosecution.

From this statement and the previous
testimony of other witnesses as to the
visits of Ruef to Ford's office some
where around the time the money was
conveyed there by Ford and Abbott it
is the hope Of the prosecution to con-
vince the jury that no other deduction
is possible but that the money was paid
to RUef and by him disbursed to the
supervisors. Evidence taken today was
all along the line of elimination of other
possible explanations for the with
drawal from the mint in cash of these
particular amounts

statement of progress of the state was
sent out by A. e. Chamberlain and
Gov. Vessey, an error was made In
regard to the amount of the perma-
nent school fund. The error was on
account of the hurried preparation,
and failing to take into account the
deferred payments on lands sold, as
we'll as the loans, which alone We're
used. The amount was given at a
little over $4,000, 900 when in fact
it should have been $~6,15S,436. Of
this fund $1,S26,466 is in the shape
of deferred payments, and while it
in fact and their omission vas the
cause of the smaller showing than
really exists. The interest from this
fund and the income from leases of
unsold lands bring a revenue to the
schools of the state which is now
running some Of the rural schools
without local taxation, n with the
number of such schools increasing
every year. Up to the present but a
small portion of the state school lands
has been sold to bring the state its
present fund. There yet remains un-
sold in the unorganized counties L.
974,249 acres and in the organized
counties of the state 522,240 acres,
a total of nearly $500, 600 acres. AS
state lands have been selling at aver
ages of we'll above $40 an acre of late
years it will be seen that this land
will bring an immense fund to handle
unless the people of the state stop
sales altogether and use lease receipts
for the fund.
Besides the public school funds the
state institutions have over half a
million acres yet unsold, and a fund
of over $500, 900 drawing interest.
