There is not an intelligent OBJ
server in congress, or out of it, who
does not know that the executive de-

This is some admission, when you
consider that Senator Aldrich knows
how the government is run. inasmuch
as it is his hand more than any other
mans that is guiding our government
onward to its destiny.

Details His Objections.
Because it does not provide for
cooperation between Illinois and the
United States for building a water
way from the lakes to the gulf, which
was the primary object of the con-
stitutional amendment. When I urg-
ed the general assembly to submit
the constitutional amendment for the
100000 bond issue / stated that
this money should be used in cooper
alton with the federal government to
build a deep water way. / knew, as
every one knew who had given any
thought to the subject, that $2O,OOO,-
900 would not build the water way to
Utica, much less to the Mississippi
river, which would require an ap-
preparation of almost an equal
amount by the federal government in
cooperation. The water way cannot
be built without the aid of the feder-
al government and should not be un-
dertaken until congress pledges its
support.
Cannot Divert Water.
"The state has no power to divert
water from Lake Michigan without
permission from congress. We are
diverting water now under a revoc-
able permit and may take not to ex-

Especial Correspondence of The Argus)
Washington, Feb 26.-Extravagance
Is bound to be sister issue with ex-
cessive tariff in the approaching con-
gressional campaigns.
The fact that the per capita appro-
priations for the expenses of the gov
ernment jumped from Sc in 1890 to
S12.40 in 1910 indicates that some
thing is wrong somewhere.
Even Senator Aldrich admits it.
From the fullness of his knowledge
the Rhode Island senator made the
following remarks on the floor of the
senate Feb. 81:
IF 1 were business man and could
be permitted to do it, would under
take to run this government for $780,

Cen tr al Labor Union
Agrees to Go Out to Aid
Car Employees.
WILL AFFECT 100000
Only Debate as to Time of Be-
ginning, Which Will Be
Next Saturday.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb 2S.-Despite
various acts of violence committed by
riotous crowds through the city Sun
day, the street railway company was
prepared this morning to open its
lines with an increased number of
cars. Very little difficulty was expert
enced in the operation of any line in
the early part of the day. More impor-
tant than the ability of The company
to operate cars is the probable effect
of the sympathetic strike decided upon
by the labor leaders. A walkout of
10000 union workers is scheduled for
next Saturday, unless the differences
between the company and its union
employees are amicably adjusted before
that time
Business Men Alarmed.
Business men and others, heretofore
Indifferent, are now endeavoring to
induce the company to agree to arbi-
tration, but so far it shows no signs
of yielding.
Votes for Strike.
Philadelphia, Feb. 2S - Action
fraught with possible momentous con-
sequences to Philadelphia was taken
by the Central Labor. union last night,
when that body, representing 140
unions. which claim a membership of
125,000, voted to begin a sympathetic
strike next Saturday in aid of the
striking street railway employees. ---r-
The move followed a day of fierce
rioting, during which mobs stoned
cars and fought with the police. Many
arrests were made, two on charge
of plotting to blow up cars. Two per-
sons were killed and four injured by
a car crashing over a turned switch
into a building.
Some Want Immediate Start.
The vote for a general strike came
at the end Of secret session of about
700 delegates in Labor Lyceum hall
which lasted more than six hours.
There was apparently no question but
that the delegates would vote to strike,
the split being on the question of
whether the movement should be start
ed Immediately The more conserva-
tive element prevailed, and the walk
out was put of until next Saturday
Meanwhile there is hope that the
street railway strike will be arbitrated
uOSplIc Iuc IOpSdJSu OI
the transit company controlling all
the lines in the city that there is
nothing to arbitrate.'
Serious Situation Seen.
Nobody doubts that last nights ac-
ton of the Central Labor union makes
the situation very grave. There is
strong feeling, especially among bus
mess people, that the strike should be
settled speedily, as all lines of bust
ness are suffering because of the
stagnation resulting from the inter
ference with traffic. Consequently
there is much sympathy for the move
for arbitration made by clergynen of
all denominations. Whether this SEN
timent is strong enough to bring the
clashing interests together remains to

Fired from Shoulder.
Washington, Feb. 28.-The army
has adopted a new type of machine
gun that has some remarkable points
of advantage over the existing guns
The new weapon is so small that it
can be carried by a man or two. with
full equipment of stands and the am
munition can be packed upon a single
mule. Moreover, it has the important
advantage that it can be fired from
the shoulder and consequently is much
less subject to attack and capture by
the enemy.
