HARRIS D|SREGARDS AN
OPINION BY CRAWFORD
AND SIGNS CONTRACT
State Printer, 1t Is Just Discov-
cred, Has Pact With
Union Here.
DEVELOPMENTS EXPECTED
State Printing Board Will, 1t Is Be-
lieved, Take Steps in Regard to
Harris Action.
DEVELOPMENTS EXPECTED

Absolutely disregarding an opinion
rendered by Attorney. General Craw-
ford last August, State Printer Harri
has entered into label contract with
the Allied Printing Trades Council Of
this city, whereby he agrees to employ
only printers and pressmen who are
members of the local typographical un
ion, to pay the wage scale prescribed oy
it, and to abide by all rules and regula-
tions formulated by it, and the interna.
tional union.
The contract was entered into LAST
October, and its consideration is the usc
of the union label. According to Harris
it may be revoked at any time by SUI.
rendering the label, but pending its ey-
istence union rules and wages are in
full force, and none but union men can
be employed, and they must be mem
bers Of the local union.
This discovery of the contract was
made today and it fulfills a prediction
made by the late State Printer Duri-
way during his campaign against the
State Printer Flat Salary Law. He do
clared that the law authorized the state
printer to enter into such contract
and that Harris and his following were
laboring for its enactment in order TO
obtain the fat plums it would provids,
and to unioniSe the office, and that they
were fighting him because he had re-
fused to sign such contract.
After Harris was appointed to sue.
ceed Duniway upon his death, one Of
his first acts was to declare he intend
ed to enter into a contract with the
union for help. He contended that tho
flat salary law authorized it, but Attor.
ney-General Crawford held that, If it
did, the provision was unconstitutional
on the ground that it would be class
legislation, and that any contract en-.
tered into favoring any special class
was void. Neither the State Printing
Board nor Harris, he declared, could en-
ter into contract to employ only a
certain class of employees or only EN-
ployes belonging to any one organiza'
ton. Contrary to this opinion, how
ever, the contract has been entered
into, aud it now remains to see what the
State Printing Board will do with rela.
tion TO the matter.

battle, which seemed yesterday to be in
the rebels favor.
The big foreign warships were lying

hundred remained in the neutral zone
on shore.
The rebels were understood finally to
have captured the railroad embank-

batteries in the suburb and to be pour

the federaIs. The latter however, were
said to be putting up a surprising resis-
tance.
Authentic news from the scene Of the
battle was extremely meagre.
