BILL FOR CONGRESS
Progressives Meet and Perfect
Details for Campaign in Sen
ate and House.

WASHINGTON. April 9.-The legis-
latiye committee of the House caucus
of ProgressiNes got down to work to-
day following a conference with mem
bers of the legislative committee of
the National Progressive party. The
House Progressives met with Walter
Weyl, Dean Lewis. of the University
of Pennsylvania Paul Kellogg and
Frances Kellar and reviewed the am
bilious legislative program outlined
by the House members Of the party.
Jane Adams. who was to have at
tended the caucus, is abroad, and she
will be called on later for her views
on progressive legislation. The con-
ference discussed at length the details
of the various measures to be framed
to embrace reforms urged by the Pro-
gressive platform The legislative
committee of the caucus, headed by
Representative Kelley, of Pennsyla
vania. Immediately took up the work
of drafting the bills, and some OF
them will be introduced in the House
at an early date.
In the formidable list of measures
making up the Progressive platform
the efforts of the little group of leg
islators will probably be devoted Il
pressing two or three for considera-
tion.. One of these will be a measure
calling for he establishment of an
industrial commission to regulate cor
porations in interstate commerce
with powers similar to those now ex-
ercised over railroads by the inter-
state Commerce Commission. Special
attention will also be paid to a reso-
luton providing a constitutional
amendment extending the suffrage to
women.
The Progressiyes will urge the APP
pointment of a special woman suf-
frage committee in the House, to
take the question out of the hands of
the judiciary committee, which has
failed to report on it. During the
tariff debate the Progressives plan to
exploit their party platform pledge
Endorsing the plan for a -parti-
san, scientific tariff board"
The Progressives will also urge the
passage of a minimum wage law in
some form, and today they seemed
to lean toward a plan for wage
commission TO establish equitable
scales of wages.

PARADE HABIT LIMITED

NEW YORK, April 9.-In protest
against the great number of public

If the ordinance is adopted the use
of the avenue for parading purposes
will be restricted to the National

STRIKERS TO HOLD
PEACE MEETING
Perth Amboy Workers to De.

turn to Mill.

PERTH AMBOY. N. J.. April s.
To decide whether they will continue
their strike for more wages or hold
out until the Standard Underground
Cable Company makes a concession,
the 500 striking mill hands will hold
a meeting in Union hall here this
afternoon. They will be addressed
by Hugh Frayne. an organizer of the
American Federation of Labor, who
came here from New York last night,
and Edward CROUCH. of the Western
Federation of Miners.
Other manufacturing industries in
this vicinity are looking with anxiety
TO the meeting, because If the strik-
ers vote to remain out the strike
fever will probably spread as 1t did
last spring when armed deputies
patrolled part of the city for two
weeks and riot ran supreme. I'm
employed labor acts as an agitating
force, and realizing this. other fac
tory officials will cooperate with the
Standard plant to have the men and
women return.
Meanwhile, the Standard plant ls
at standstill. Most OF the 500 strik-
ers spent this morning lounging in
the streets outside the factory. They
watched the general superintendent
w. A. Conner, come in in his auto
from his home in Plainfield. and they
saw the clerical force pass through

IL the strikers vote today to remain
out the company will probably make
arrangements 10 engage extra labor
and resume operations at the plant
with the assistance of special depu-
ties from New York. So far the local
police, assisted by several of the
companys watchmen, have been
guarding the plant. No arrests have
been made.
After the conference this afternoon
deputation will probably call on
Superintendent Common. According to
their present demands, the striking
men and women will return to work
if they are given an average increase
of fifteen cents day, and If the
working hours are decreased from ten
to nine, with a half holiday Satur-
day. A notice posted by the company
last week informed it's employees that
they would be given a raise in pay,
but the exact amount was not made
known. Before this was done, the
500 men and women walked out and
700 other employees were thrown out
of work.
No Disturbance.
