Chicago Cars May Stop.

Chicago. = Chicago is threatened
with one of the greatest labor dis
turbances in its history. A strike of
5000 street car men, meaning a tie
up Of all surface lines in the city, is
possible, on account Of differences
over wages. So serious has the sit
uation become that Mayor Busse has
intervened in an effort to prevent a
possible repetition of the scenes of
violence and bloodshed which marked
the last street car strike in Chicago
and have accompanied these labor
struggles in other cities.

Washington, Jan. 26.-At the instiga-
tion of Hitchcock of Nebraska and
criticised the unexplained delay,
which Speaker Cannon resented i'm
piled criticism of himself, the house
today adopted almost unanimously a
resolution by Hitchcock of Nebraska
ordering an investigation by the com
mittee on rule of the 40 days delay
in getting the reports of the Ball
inger-Pinchot investigating committee
printed and into the hands of men,
bers of the house. The resolution
requests a report within one week.
A former resolution by Hitchcock
stated that three reports were re-
ceived from the committee on investi-
cation December Z last and sharply
criticised the unexplained delay,
doubt and mystery in referring said
report to the committee on agricul-
ture. The resolution set forth that
the reference was not made until De-
cember 10. The committee did not
receive the printed reports until yes
terday.
This amendment, which was drafted
by the committee, authorized the
of two dredges, as was
in the recent report of
the army engineers, to cost not ex-
ceeding $520,000. The bill will carry
100000 cash, an authority is given |
to expend an additional 1920. 900. |
sufficient to complete both dredges. !
In addition to these amounts, the
$4,000 which was provided in the
original house bill for continuing op-
erations between Portland and the
sea under the old project is retained.
making a total for the Willamette
and Columbia below Portland of
1870 900.

Washington. - The senate today
agreed to an amendment to the In
dian bill. appropriating $4,000 for
beginning construction on the Modoc
Point irrigation project on the Klam-
ath Indian Reservation, the total cost
not to exceed s185.OOO. An amend
ment was also agreed to appropriate
ing $4,000 for the extension of the
brick school building at Chemawa.
Piecemeal revision of the tariff was
attacked vigorously in the senate to-
day by Senator Flint, of California,
member of the finance committee
which helped frame the Payne-Ald-
rich law.
He deplored the fact that the re-
suits of the last election seemed to
be a declaration in favor of local
revision and he charged that the prob
able effect of such action was not un-
derstood by the people.
Senator Flint based his speech up
on the Cummins' resolution, which is
designed to- limit the power of amend
ment to schedules actually under con.
and to prevent the weigh |
ing of the interests of one section |
against another in what is commonly |
termed "log rolling"
The California senator contended |
that the very essence Of the protec-
tive system was to frame a bill which
would protect the industries of the |
entire country against the competition
of the balance Of the world.
He quoted from a speech by Chair
nan Emery Of the tariff board to
show the intention of that body to
have considered first the print paper
then wool and third farm
