War Dickinson proposes that the anti
trust laws be invoked to break up the
monopoly which the Pacific Mail
Steamship. Company and the Hartman
trans-continental lines have on busl-
ness between the Pacific coast ports
and the Isthmus of Panama.
When it was suggested that under

because of lack of proof, members OF
the senate committee On inter-oceanlf
canals discussed recommending legls-
lation to reach the merger.
The hearing today was held to allow
Dickinson to answer the criticism OF
Senator Bristow that the government
is aiding the transcontinental rail-
roads by not encouraging an estab-
lishment on the Pacific coast as pro-
posed by B. H. Baker, of Baltimore.
Dickinson. said the contract offered by
Baker was such that he nor any other
members of the cabinet was no.

Spokane, Wn., Feb. 28.-Sixty lives
have been lost, it is feared. in two
great snow slides which have brought
aismay to the mining towns of the
rich Couer d'Alene district, in North
nrn Idaho.
At 1885 o'clock last night a snow
lide swept down the mountain, strik-
ing the little town of Mace and bury
Nng twenty-five houses and their
sleeping occupants in a. mass of
snow and ice at the bottom of the
canyon. At $50 a. m. today another
slide rushed down on the town of
Burke, town of 900 population,
crushing a. score 4 of houses under
thousands of tons Of earth and snow.
Fourteen bodies have been recover
ed already from the ruins of, Mace:
sixteen dead have been recovered at
Burke. /.
How many are stiIl buried is not
Fifty or sixty dead is regarded as
a conservative estimate.
There is a fear that the number
of dead at Burke may even be larger
than that at Mace. Every man who
can be spared for the rescue work at
Mace has been appealed to- Doctors
were rushed from Wallace on special

their children to the Sides hills:
brothers dragged little sisters to

UNION MEN ARE
OPPOSED TO AID
FOR PRISON WORK
Labor Leader Tells congressman
That Conyict-made Goods
Hurt Workingman.
Especial to the Newark start

WASHINGTON. May 16.-NotWith-
standing the objections offered by
Samuel w kirkbride, supervisor of the
New Jersey state prison, to the pass
age of the bills to regulate the sale Of
goods made by convicts, an inspection
Of the report OF the hearings which
We're held recently on the several bills
of this character reveals the fact that
organized labor stands in favor of the
enactment of these measures.
Manfred w. Enrich. representing the
Newark Embroidery Works. Newark;
Queen Handkerchief Company, Pas
sale; John Clendinning & Co., Pas.
sale, Passaic Handkerchief Works,
Passaic, and Hermann, Aukamm &
Co, South River, was one of those who
appeared before the subcommittee on
Ia Dor, which had the bill under con-
s~ideration.
II. S. Peters, of the Union-made Gar
n1ent Manufacturers Association of
Dover. asserted that the trades which
prisoners learned while incarcerated in
prison We're of no use to them. He
advocated the passage of the bill in the
interest of the labor employed in many
factories.
William Hughes, who appeared be-
fore the subcommittee, told of a visit
he made to the State prison. where he
was shown prisoners at work and was
informed that they We're making mail
bags for the government. He stated
that he afterwards learned that some
small concerns in Jersey City which
had lone the work were driven out of
business because it was impossible for
them to compete with the labor of the
convicts. Mr.. Hughes said that he did
not think the laboring man ought to be
called upon to meet the unfair COM
petition of the convict labor. He called
attention to the fact that the laboring
man already had to meet the COM
petition of thousands of immigrants
arriving from every country, and there
should be no necessity for him to com
pete with the convicts as well.
Considerable comment has been oc-
casioned by the criticism of the ma
tional soldiers homes by Representa-
tive Cox. OF Ohio. Mr.. Cox lives at
Dayton, o.. where one of the branches
OF the home is located. Franklin Muir.
ply. of Newark, former Governor Of
New Jersey, Is one of the members Of
the board OF governors of these homes,
and it would, therefore, seem that the
charges made by Mr.. Cox would be Of
interest to him. According to the
statements made by Congressman Cox,
the veterans in some OF these national
homes do not fare as we'll as do the
soldiers who are domiciled in the home
at Kearny.
Representatives Of the Junior Order
OF United American Mechanics of New
Jersey. many of whom will be the
State officers, will reach this city to-
morrow for a conference with the ma
tional officers of that body. They will
all remain for a hearing before the
committee on immigration and nat
uralization. of which Congressman
Howell is the chairman. next Saturday.
