Parades are great nuisances for the
laboring men Of the United States. ...

The Fargo Trades & Labor assembly
is taking an active interest in the
welfare of the city and ONE of its
employees. Within the mont two.
measures have been introduced in the
city council which have had their or
igin with the laboring men of the city.
Ore of these was a resolution in the
interests of the patrolmen Of the Far
go police department. 1t is felt by h
to serve o long hours and have no
regular day of rest as is accorded
every other kind of labor.
The resolution which was introduced
in the council at one OF its recent ses-
sions call for shorter hours for the
patrolmen and for one day of rest for
each man in the department. That is
being considered favorably by the
aldermen who shown at last nights
session when Alderman Mcdonald
brought the matter up again to the
attention of the a and the other
councilmen.
Mr.. Mcdonald seemed anxious to
take the question up at once, but the
mayor said it would have to be de-
ferred until after the budget for the
coming veal would be made out, when
a provision for extra patrolmen could
be made In the annual appropriation
for the police department. Mr., Nc
Donald will watch out for the resolu-
ton to see that it is not tabled nor
buried.
The speakers who appeared before
the council last night for the plumb
ers' organization made a good inn
preston on the council and the
chances are that at the next regular
meeting, Sept. 3, when the proposed
plumbing ordinance is reported back
from It's committee, hat it will re-
ceive very favorable consideration at
the hands of the mayor and the coun-
cilmen. Mayor Sweet seemed much
impressed with the merits Of the bill
last night after the talk Of Mr.. Lamb
Of the plumbers organization n the
other labor representatives, who spoke.

Wilton, N. D., Aug. 24.-A mass
meeting was called by the village
board of trustees last Friday evening
and a representative number Of citi-

was called to ascertain, through pub

park purposes. The proposition was
discussed at length and 1T was finally
agreed that the village was not in a

postponed for a time at least.

Memories Of the sinking OF the, ILL
fated Titanic were recalled TO the minds
of a number of Washingtonians last
night, when word was received here
from Cincinnati of the birth of baby
boy to Mrs. Lucien d. Smith, daughter
of Representative James A., Hughes of
West Virginia, and whose husband gave
up his life to save her.
When the first news of the disaster
reached this city Representative Hughes,
knowing his daughter TO be a passenger
on the Inflated vessel, and frantic with
fear. wired the White Star officials for
information. He received in reply a tel
egram which afterward aroused world
wide Indignation and played an impor-
tant part in the Senatorial investigation
Of the wreck.
The telegram he received in reply was
as follows:

HOUSE DEMOCRATS
NOW FEAR SHOALS
Preferment and Patronage Are
Bound to Stir Up Lot of
Trouble.
LEADERS PLAN PROGRAMME

As the session of Congress approaches
rumblings of discomfort are heard among
Democratic leaders arriving in Wash
ington. 'Preferment and patronage are
bound to stir up a lot of trouble in the
new administration. and the party lead
els fear that they have a task ahead
that will keep them on their mettle. Test
is added to the situation by the in
sistence OF members who are arriving
here that now that the election has pass
ed into oblivion the leaders should loosen
the purse strings. Back in the districts
there is a demand for public buildings,
river and harbor appropriations, and the
like that must be satisfied.
1t is already apparent that the ma
iority of more than 100 that the Demo-
Gratis will have in the new House will
prove a source of embarrassment. When
the Democrats came into the control Of
the House at the beginning of this Con-
gress Southern members, who had seen
long years of service, naturally monopo-
lied most of the important committee
assignments and practically all of the
House patronage.
The Northern. Democrats, few in num-
Der, mad TO take a back seat. In the
new House the Northern Democrats will
far exceed their Southern brethren nu-
merically. Some of these recruits have
given notice that exceptions must be
made in the application Of the rule of
seniority. or there will be trouble, They
want 4 more equitable division Of COM
mittee assignments and patronage. IN
less they are accommodated they threat
en- to stir up = rumpus at the very be
ginning Of the new administration. The
same state Of affairs will obtain in the
Senate. There are some live wires in
the group of Senators that will be sworn
in on March 4. and they threaten 10 up
set traditions by demanding recognition
al the start.
Leaders in Conference.
1t was brought out at conference yes
terday between Speaker Clark and Re
publican Leader Mann that there will be
little or no time available in the session
that will begin on Monday for the con-
sideration of anything but strictly rou-
tine business. This Congress will expire
by constitutional limitation at noon on
March 1. Between December and
March 4 ninety-six days will elapse.
1t was pointed out by Mr.. Mann that
only twenty-six days will be available
for the routine business of the House,
such as appropriation bills. Sixty-six
days will he consumed by the holiday
recess. Sundays, and special orders. For
example. thirteen Sundays will fall with
in the three-mOnth period.
The holiday recess will cover a pc
riOd OF fourteen days. Thirteen We'd
nesdays will be devoted to special bills
on the calendar. Thirteen Fridays will
be set apart for pension claims.
Under special order of the House
thirteen Mondays will be devoted to leg
islation affecting the District Of Co.
lumbia 1t is believed that it is alto
gether probable that one or more of the
regular appropriation bills will be put
over until April, owing to the lack of
time for proper consideration at the
session this winter.
