gan proceedings to dissolve the trades
union whi~'1 the employees formed yes
terday in defiance of the government
and ann unced that all the leaders in
the movement would be criminally
prosecuted. The latter say the formal
dissolution of the new union will not
interfere with it's effectiveness and that
they have no fear of criminal prose
cution as they expect a general labor
war to begin within a few days, the
end of which they think will be a
change in government. The central
committee of the union which is made
up of post. telegraph and telephone
employees. has already been authorized
to call a strike but is delaying in order
to give BOSS" Pataud time to arrange
for similar walkouts in other lines.
Railroad employees and the miners
union have already agreed as to their
future. 1t is expected the strike will
assume the proportions of a revolu-
ton. One unique experiment that viii
be tried in the event the telegraph and
mail service is completely shut off. is
the use of carrier pigeons. The gov
eminent has 100000 of these birds in
readiness and is insisting that it will
be able to transact all necessary Of

pigeons.

When F. 1. Hitchcock got a letter
from Major Harry Taylor, United
States Engineer in charge of these wa
tiers, telling him that the proprietor of
drawbridge can keep the structure
closed to navigation and suffer no PEN
atty he was vexed. He could not I'M
derstand how the government, which
jealouSly protects navigation, could
have made such an oversight. Final
ly he decided that perhaps Major Tay-
lor had made the oversight and not the
government, so he wrote to the war de-
partment the following:
Honorable Secretary of War
Washington, D. c.
Dear Sir:-Win you kindly inform
me if there is not a general u S. law
governing draw bridges, across navi-
gable waters that compels them to be
opened to vessels within a reasonable
time after a proper signal is given 1
have been informed that a drawbridge
can be held closed for several days
without any liability to penalty until
you furnish regulations for this special
draw. Thanking you in advance re-
main
Yours respectfully,
FRANK j. HITCHCOCK
He received in reply a letter signed
E. N. johnson, captain of engineers,
which is as follows:
1. Respectfully returned to Mr.. Hitch
cock, inviting attention to the accom-
panying pamphlet of laws enacted by
Congress for the preservation and pro-
lection OF navigable waters of the
United States particularly to sections
TO- u, and IS of the act Of March 3,
1909 and section of the river and har-
Dor act of August Is, 1894.
2. Failure to open the draw Of a
bridge for the passage of vessels would
constitute a violation of law, and rem
der the responsible parties liable to
penalties as prescribed therein.
8. No general regulations have been
prescribed by the department under
the aforesaid section of the act of Au-
gust IS, 1894, to govern the operation
| of drawbridgeS, it being the practice
of the department, however, when
shown to be necessary in the interest
| of navigation to prescribe such regula-
| tions as may be applicable to a partic-
ular bridge or to structures over a spe-
Gifted stream If you have in mind a
| specific instance of violation of the law
and deem it of sufficient Importance to
report the facts to this office, specify
| ing the location of the structure, and
| the owners thereof, the matter will be
| fully investigated and appropriate ac-
| ton taken.

said that the owner could keep it clos
