washington, D. C. Jan. 1.-THE
extra force of stenographers, which is
drawn from the commercial steno-
graphic firms of this city, threw down
their tools and quit thej OBJ without
any preliminary efforts to concilate
or arbitrate, on January 8, when the
Committee on Accounts Of the House
Of Representatives insisted upon re-
ducing the price paid per folio 40 per
cent, or from rs to Is cents. The reg
luar stenographers receive an annual
salary of $4,000 each, but as they are
not affected. no trouble exists in their
ranks. The tremendous increase Of
work among the several committees
and COMMISSIONS require substitute
help. These, Of course. have to be
drawn from outside sources. Arbitra-

Of the difficulties, but the stenograph-
