LEGISLATION IS INCREASING
NUMBER OF LAWS GROWING
WITH MARKED RAPIDITY.
officer in Charge Of Enrolled Bills
Expects Present Congress to Be
Record-Breaker.

Legislation by the Congress has in
creased almost incredibly during the last
decade. Thousands of measures are in
Der enacted ordinarily is comparatively
insignificant. The development Of the
country's resources and the increased
demands of the people are indicated,
however, by the immense increase in
the number Of laws passed.
This increase Col. w. NJ. Palmer. in
charge Of the enrolled bills OF the Sen
ate, says, lis particularly noticeable
during the last ten years. Prior to that
time there was little variation in the
number OF measures enacted into law
by successive Congresses. In tho last
decade the increase has been astonish-
ing.
of the Fifty-fifth Congress 1.413 bills
were passed by the House and Senate
and MESA ged' to the President. In the
third session Of the same Congress GA
measures were enacted into laws. In
the Fifty-sixth Congress 1852 measures
in the Fifty-eighth 4,041, in the Fifty
ninth 6.940 and in the Sixtieth, the Con.
gress which ended March 4. the num-
Der of bills enacted into law reached the
great total of 9.711."
Col. Palmer. who compared and car
ried to the White House all Of these
bills. not one of which ever was lost or
mislaid, was appointed to the commit
tee on enrolled bills Of the Senate thir-
cen years ago from New Jersey by the
late Senator Sewell.
Col. Palmer predicts that the number
of measures passed by the present Con-
gress will exceed that of any preceding
Congress.

WATER SUPPLY CUT TONIGHT
HIGH POINTS IN ANACoSTIA TO
GO DRY.
Capitol Hill Pressure Also Will Be
Reduced During Repairs at
4th and B Streets.

The employees Of the District of Column
bia water department are scheduled for
another all-night job, beginning at IL 80
this evening and terminating at about .
O'Clock tomorrow morning. A new twenty
inch valve will be placed on the twenty
inch main just east Of the trunk line
connection at Attn and B streets north
east. The work will be in charge of Fore
man S. II. Harding, Who VIII have
dozen or SO caulkers and laborers en-
aged.
Al the present time, when it becomes
necessary to cut off the twenty-inch main
on B street, which supplies what Is known
as the first high service on Capitol Hill
and Anacostia, these territories have to
be supplied by the gravity service, and
this latter service is inadequate to fur
nish water to the highest points in the
area above named. After the placing of
this valve the first high service will be
fed west along 3 street to Delaware ave-
nue. and B street northwest. and through
the lateral mains to the thirty-inch main
In East Capitol street. which large main
will supply the sections heretofore de-
prived of the first high. and In the future
when it is necessary to make this same
shut off Capitol Hill and Anacostia will
receive their normal supply during the
execution of the work.
The only valve at present on the
twenty-inch main at 4th and streets
northeast is west of the trunk line con-
nection which necessitates the closing Of
the twenty-inch valve on the 9TH street
main, which valve acts as a side stop of
the twenty-inch main In B street.
1t is probable that during the placing
of this valve the extreme high points In
Anacostia will be deprived Of water.
while the pressures on Capitol Hill will
be materially reduced. This condition
will probably last from about 11:3O to-
night until O'Clock tomorrow morning
While the twenty-inch main Is out Of
service tonight the first high service feed
ing the Capitol building will be shifted
to the gravity main in Delaware avenue
and 3 street. While the pressure in
the Capitol building will be reduced,
there will be sufficient water available
from the gravity service TO give an
adequate supply.
Apartment houses on Ca pitol Hill will
also be affected as the result of the work
of placing this valve. especially on the
higher floors. During the execution OF
this work there will be no water in the

WANT CHARTERS Renewed
LABOR UNIONS APPLY TO X. OF.
L. OFFICIALS.
Building Trades Workers of District
Reorganized Under Old Members
by Master Workman Hayes.

A boom in the building trades section
Of the knights of Labor in the District
of Columbia was reported today by John
w Hayes master workman OF the or
ganization. In a statement issued from
headquarters he says:
After a number of years battling with
the various elements that make up the
building trades unions of the city of
Washington, many of the old members
Of the carpenters and painters who were
formerly members of the knights of
Labor have made application TO be reor-
ganized under their old numbers III the
*. of L.
THE request was granted Mr.. Hayes
says, land we now have these two inlpor-
tant branches of the trade added 10 the
plumbers, timers and paperhangers, with
applications already pending from some
structural iron workers, fathers and plas-
tererS. 1t Is well, now that the demands
for knight of Labor card are becomin =
more numerous. that the applicants be
given to understand that their employ
ment rests only on their ability to per-
form the work assigned to them and not
on the alleged pull or supposed influence
of the business agent. Men holding
cards of the Knights of Labor have no
right to recognize any man or number
of men outside the local assembly of
which he Is member. That is the only
authority to question a mans right to
carry d Might OI 1dDOT cara or secure
and obtain employment under its pro,
lection"
Mr. Hayes further says 1.-The rehabili-
tation of local assemblies 174S and 1898
completes the required nun Der of locals
necessary to put the building trades or
ganiZed under the banner of the Knight
Of Labor in.o district where the varied
trade interests can be freely and fully
discussed with all the threatened dangers
of free fight entirely eliminated. The
main question under discussion is the for
nation Of the new locals In order that
employers may not have to go outside OF
the Washington jurisdiction of the
Knights of Labor to secure the necessary
labor to man every branch of the building
industry. The efforts i'm this direction
have been SO successful that we are look
ing forward TO the time in the very near
future when the building trades, mechan-
les, residents of Washington. minus the
floaters will all be knocking sat our doors
for admission. When they knock it is
with the understanding firmly settled in
their minds that the general laws of the
Knights of Labor will prevail and no 9TH

20-inch main in B street from Delaware
avenue and street to 18th and B streets
northeast, and all premises along this
route will be without water from about
midnight until o'clock tomorrow morn
ing.
In few weeks it will become necessary
to cut out the 20-inch main at Sth and
3 streets northeast. and the 30-inch
main at Sth and East Capitol streets. this
work being necessary on account of pro-
posed railway construction of the Capital
Traction Company. and the placing of
this 2O-inch valve at 4th and B streets
will allow this work to be done without
any interruption in the water supply from
the first high service. In other words. the
placing of this valve means that normal
pressures will be maintained on Capitol
Hill and Anacostia should it become nee
essary in the future to shut off the 90
inch main in street Under conditions
now existing. consumers in certain parts
of these sections are affected every time
this main is temporarily put out OF
