TO PREVENT STRIKES.

Important Labor Measure to Be Presented to Congress. It Is Prepared by Carroll D. Wright and Embodies Recommendations of tile Recent Pullman Strike Commission. Washington, Dec. 19.—Labor Commissioner Wright has sent to Mr. Erdman (Pa) the draft of a bill for the national arbitration of strikes. The bill was prepared by Mr. Wright and his associates on the strike commission appointed by President Cleveland to investigate the great Chicago strike. Such arbitration was recommended in the commission’s report and the bill now gives the practical details of their plan. It differs entirely from the arbitration bill heretofore introduced by Mr. Springer, being more elaborate and precise in its details. Mr. Erdman will introduce it in the house to day. The title of the bill is “A ‘Bill Concerning Carriers Engaged in Interstate Commerce and Their Employes.” It is modeled after the interstate commerce act. A synopsis is as follows: It provides for the appointment by the president. with the advice and consent of the senate. of a commission consisting of five persons, to be known as ‘the United States board of conciliation and arbitration.” Not more than three of the commissioners shall be appointed from the same political party. One of them shall have had experience in the management of railroads, and the other is to be selected from some incorporated association of railway employes. The commission shall have authority to inquire into the conditions of all employes subject to the act, and shall have the right to obtain from common carriers all neccessary information. The provisions of the interstate commerce act are closely followed In this respect. The commission has the power to make all necessary rules and regulations and may administer oaths. The salray of each commissioner shall be $7,500 per annum: the secretary to be appointed shall have a salary ol $3,500. The principal offices of the commission shall be in the city of Washington, where its general sessions shall be held, but special sessions may be held anywhere in the United States. An annual report shall be submitted, and publication of the reports and decisions may be authorized and shall be competent evidence in all courts of the United States.

The bill provides that the system of arbitration and conciliation shall apply to common carriers engaged in the transportation between the states of passengers and property by railroad and by water, and to all persons and corporations leasing cars used for such transportation and all their employes; that the wage* paid in such transportation and handling, and the rules and regulations shall be reasonable and just, not, however, taking away the right to make contracts. Whenever it shall come to the knowledge of the commission that a strike or controversy between those subject to the act is threatened or has occurred it shall be its duty as soon as practicable to put itself in communication with both parties and endeavor by mediation and conciliation to effect a settlement. Likewise upon the request of employes or corporations, as well as of its own volition, it may make an investigation. All reports of investigations and mediations and the findings of facts therein shall be prima facie evidence as to each and every fact and be given due weight in all judical proceedings, and the attorney general of the United States, to whom the same shall be transmitted, shall take such action as is necessary. During the pendency of an arbitration it is not lawful for an employer to discharge an employe, nor for such employe to aid or abet strikes, nor to quit employment without thirty days’ notice. The violation of this provision is made a misdemeanor. In section 13 the incorporation of employes is encouraged and chapter 567, United States statutes, 1885-1885, is enlarged so as to provide that the constitution and by-laws of such association shall contain a provision that membership shall cease by participating in schemes of violations, strikes, etc., and that the members shall not be personally liable for any acts, debts or obligations of the organization. Whenever receivers appointed by the federal courts are in control of a railroad the employes shall have the right to be heard in the court upon all questions affecting the terms of their employment, and no reduction of wages shall be made by the receivers without the authority of the court after due notice. It is further made a misdemeanor for any officer or employer to require employes to enter into an agreement not to become a member of a labor organization, or to threaten an employe with loss of employment or discrimination because of such membership, or to require such employe to become a member of a beneficial organization.

NOT A CHATTEL.

If You Owe a Woman Money Don’t Give It to Her Husband. Milwaukee, Dec. 19.—1 n the circuit court Judge D. 11. Johnson decided that a woman is not a chattel of her husband. Sophia Manegold and herhusband, August Manegold, sold ground to the Cudahy Packing company for 84,014.29. In addition to this sum Mrs. Manegold was to get SSOO for signing away her dower right. The packing company gave both checks to Mr. Manegold. He did not give the SSOO check to his wife and she brought two suits, one against her husband for divorce and another against the Cudhays for the SSOO. The Cudahys held that the handing of the first check for SSOO to Mr. Manegold was sufficient delivery to Mrs. Manegold, but the court held that it was not and gave plaintiff judgment for her claim and cost of the action.

Prominent New Yorkers to Test the Constitutionality of the Income Tax Law. New York, Dec. 19.—The Sun Tuesday morning printed the following in its editorial columns: “We are enabled on the highest authority to state that Joseph H. Choate and Clarence A. Seward regard the new income tax as unconstitutional; and that these eminent lawyers will represent a large body of public-spirited New York merchants and business men who propose to test the constitutionality of the law in the courts.”

Shot According to Law.

Chicago, Dec. 19.—Judge Grosscup made an order that William J. Stark, one of the deputy marshals arrested during the strike for killing, oe discharged, as the prisoner was in custody for an act done in pursuance of a law of the United States, and therefore was held in violation of the constitution and laws of the United States. Chamber of Deputies Elect a President. Paris, Dec. 19. —M. Henri Brisson (radical) has been elected president of the chamber of deputies by a vote of 924 to 213.

WALKER’S PLAN.

Massachusetts Congressman Has a Substitute for the Carlisle BUI. Washington, Dec. 19.—1 n the house on Tuesday Mr. Walker (rep., Mass.) gave an outline of the substitute he proposes to offer for the Carlisle currency bill presented to the house on Monday. Proceeding to the elucidation of the provisions of his bill, Mr, Walker said they would issue two dollars of currency for every dollar deposited, and of the government notes thus deposited they required that 90 per cent, of them should be destroyed, the remainder being reserved as a redemption fund. Under the lead of questions by members surrounding him, Mr. Walker digressed to speak of the method of redemption of notes practiced in the Bank of France, which, he said, must be followed here in any safe system of finance. That was, at the option of the customer to give gold or silver in exchange for notes. In this practice the pressure of the laws of trade compelled a man to take silver when that would serve his purpose, and gave gold to a man who must have the metal to pay his debts. He desired, he said, to provide a use for silver, and his bill would do so. “The laws of trade,” he said, “cannot be defied; the laws of congress can.” Mr. Walker expressed the belief that if this bill was enacted into law that within eighteen months, before President Cleveland retired to private life, the financial difficulties now threatening the country would not be in process of settlement, but entirely solved. Mr. Walker said his bill provided for the appointment of a committee consisting of the five leading bankers in the five prinoipal redemption cities who shall give the secretary of the treasury advice and counsel in all questions relating to the financial matters of the government. This was a measure of relief to the government that was worth a whole session of legislation.

GOLD IN THE TREASURY.

Its Decrease Since 1889 Amounted to SI 05,155,000. Washington, Dec. 19.—The treasury gold reserve to-day stands $8,500,000 below the reserve limit of $100,000,000. The rapidity with which the gold has been withdrawn from the treasury since the second issue of $50,000 000 on November 24 has given the officials at the New York subtreasury so much work in handling and counting the money that extra force has had to be employed and worked overtime. Since November 34 last, the day on which bids for the new bonds were opened, the treasury has lost $25(000,000 in gold by withdrawals, two-thirds of which have probably been exported. Within that time perhaps $3,000,000 in gold’ have been received by mintage, but losses which almost counterbalance this accretion have been sustained by reason of gold bars being withdrawn for use in the arts. The decline in treasury gold holdings, which began prior to 1888, has continued ever since, as shown by the following official treasury figures: Net gold. January, 18895194,655,000 January, 1890 177.385,000 January. 1891 141 728.000 January, J 892 119.574.000 January, 1893 108,181.000 January, 1894 65.850,000 in March, 1893, the net gold stood at $106,892,000. On January 31, 1894, it had declined to $65,650,000. The first bond issue in February, ] 894, increased it to $107,390,000. In eight months it declined to $57,996,000, which point it reached November 24, on which day the second bond issue was made. This second issue of $50,000,000 brought the reserve up to $112,000,000, since which time it has been falling downward until to-day it stands only $33,500,000 above the point it was on November 24, the date of the second bond issue. As above shown, the amount of gold holdings in the treasury January I, 1889, was $194,655,000. The amount today is $91,500,000 —a total decrease of $103,155,000.

INSTANT DEATH.

It Comes to Many Men Through a Boiler Explosion. West Bay City, Mich., Dec. 19. Tuesday noon a boiler in the box factory of Russell Bros, exploded because of low water. The shock of the explosion was felt throughout the city. A number of employes were seated in the engine room at the time eating lunch. Five were killed outright, one is missing and supposed to be Under the debris, and three were badly injured. The dead are: John Calcutt, aged 24 years; George Pfund, aged 17; Albert Rahn, aged 36; John Brann, aged 15, and Al Hearenbacher, aged 17. The injured are Fred Wildanger, Charles Dodge and Roe Hudson. The dead were terribly mutilated, one man having both legs blown off and his neck broken.* One ghastly find was that of a headless trunk. The debris of the mill was thrown over 500 feet and all the windows in the neighborhood were shattered by the shock. Haining, the engineer, professes entire ignorance of the cause of the accident. He denies that the water was low in the boiler. Experts say that the boiler, which was twenty-eight years old, was practically ruined and rotten. Every expert who has examined the surroundings, declared. that the explosion was due to low water.
