BIG STRIKE IN
PHILADELPHIA
Tho Number of Men Idle Is Swelled
to 8,000 The Carpenters Quar
rel. Philadelphia, May 3. The stiuggle of
the men engaged In the building Hades
In this city for an eight-hour workday,
with Increased wages, took a new turn
today, when there was a. split between
one of the carpenters' organizations
and the Allied Hulldlngs Trades league,
and as a result a bitter war Is on.
From nn aggregate of 3,000 men who
quit woik on Tuesday, the day the
eight-hour campaign was Inaugurated,
the total number of men now Idle liar
swelled to over S,000. When the eight
hour movement began thirty-six build
ing trades amalgamated in order to
better carry 011 their contest. The or
ganization was named the Allied Hulld
hig Trades league. In this city there
aie three Independent organizations of
carpenters, namely, the Hrotherhood of
Cat pentcis and Joiners, with a mem
bership of 4,000; the Amalgamated Soci
ety of Carpenters, with 3.')0 members,
and the Philadelphia Curpcnteis' asso
ciation, with ISO membeis. The lat
ter two organizations became affiliated
with the league, but the brotherhood
steadily refused to join for various
reasons. The lehitlons became strained,
and last night the brotheihood decided
that Its men could work on opeiatlons
where non-union carpenters and other
non-union workers were employed. It
also decided that Its members should
not engage in sympathetic strikes. In
retaliation, the Allied Hullding Trades
league decided that no men affiliated
with the league should wink with a
brotheihood carpenter, and that the
latter should be looked upon as non
union , men. As a result, thirty-six
business agents, representing all the
trades In the league, began war on the
unaffiliated curpcnteis eany today, and
kept It up all day. The United Hod
Carrleis' and Laborers' union put six
extra agents in the field, and the entire
delegation scouted a considerable por
tion of the city, notifying the men to
quit work where biotherhood caipen
teis are employed. The building trades
affected for the first time today In
cluded palnteis, cablnetmaktis, ele
vator constructois, hardwood finishers,
wood, wire ami metal lathers, struc
tural Iron woikeis, freseoe painters,
marble cutters, house smiths, plaster
ers and plasterers' laborers. Over 000
brlcklayeis whoaio not on strike have
been foieed Into idleness because of the;
hod can lei s" strike.
It Is claimed by the league that
many carpenleis joined the brother
hood with the belief that It would af
filiate with the league, which repre
sents some 2.1,000 In the buildings. To
provide for them a movement has been
put on foot to organize new local
unions of the carpenters' oiganlzatiuus
affiliated with the league. If this
movement Is successful It Is said the
power of the brotherhood will be great
ly em tailed.
Quite 11 number of employers today
signed the wage demand of the strlk
eis, nnd the men leturned to wot It In
all places where no brotherhood car
penteis were employed. There were
scleral additional strikes where em
ployers had given their Dual refusal
to sign the new s-cale, but the number
of imi effected was not large. About
T."i girls returned to work at George
Campbell & company's worsted mill,
where nearly .Vio girls stiuck yesterday
for an Increase in pay of 10 per cent.

Received with Great Applauee.
The Cnurch Will Not Abandon It a
Position on tho Liquor Quostlon.
Reference to the Degradation of
tho Dance Hall Recommendations
Concerning the Limit of Pastor
ates. Chicago, May 3. The Interest of the
delegates to the Methodist gencial
conference today was centered In ttv
reading of the bishop's quadrlcnnlal
address by Bishop 13. O. Andrews. Tho
address was prepared ut tho recent
meeting of the bishops at Indianapolis.
Bishop Andrews was given close at
tention, nnd when the s'ectatois gath
ered from the tepoi't that while the
country had Increased fourteenfold
during the past hundred years, the
Methodist Hpiscopal church had de
veloped ninety-seven fold, they ap
plauded enthusiastically.
The bishop's address stated that the
church will not abandon Its position
on the liquor question. On the con
trary, "aroused and indignant at the
aggressions of the liquor power, at the
Inexcusable miscarriage of the anti
canteen law, and at the new perils in
which the nation Is Involving Its new
possessions, It will summon and pledge
ull our ministers and people to a more
determined struggle against this enor
mous evil."
As to marriage and divorce, the ad
dress continued:
In Ihc priMiicc of thu nil the chuiih lannot
allow iu rule on Ibe subj.-ct of dloue and ie
marriage to be in any lase iiiopcratlic nnd told.
Let, if need be, tlic church law be amended
to more peifeetly pxprem the N'w Testament
rule of marriage Hut by the wh of Its public
( niblles, by Its publicities and judicious ever
ie of discipline the chinch should keep itself
pure and aid the eicil law and the pMctlec of
society to become pure.

daries be formed with the provision
of the rules of the discipline. The dis
cipline provides that this committee

ing the committee nn equal number of
lay and clerical delegates. Dr. Buck

pension of the rules. A committee was
appointed to Investigate the case of
Caleb Butterworth, of Camden, X. .T
as his right to a scat was questioned
yesterday.

FREE HOME BILL IS
PASSED IN HOUSE
GOVERNMENT PATENTS ON IN
DIAN RESERVATION.
Hon, Gnlusha A. Grow,Who Fathered
the Homestead Bill Nearly Forty
Year3 Ago, Makes a Speech in
Favor of the New Measure in the
Interest of Western Settlers Sen
ate Postpones Consideration of tho
Clark Case.
Washington, May 3. The house to
day, without division, passed the "free
home" bill, which has .bepn pending
before congress for a number of years.
The bill provides that the government
shall issue patents to actual bona-fldo
settlers on agricultural lands If the In
dian reservation Is opened to settle
ment. These lunds were taken up by
settlers who contracted to pay from
J1.25 to $3.7.1 per acre. Dy the terms of
the bill the government assumes the
payment of the purchase price to the
Indians and changes the existing law
relative to agricultural colleges so as,
to Insure the payment of tho endow
ments which heretofore have come out
of the sale of public lands, in case ot
deficiency. These payments involve $1,
200.000 annually. Of the 29,000.000 acres
in Indian reservations opened to settle
ment, for which the government is to
pay or has paid $3.1,000,000, about S.000,
000 acres have been taken and about
2.000,000 are supposed to be still avail
able for agricultural purposes. A re
markable thing In connection with the
passage of the bill today was a speech
In Its favor by Galusha A. Grow, of
Pennsylvania, the venerable ex-speaker
of the house, who thirty-nin years ago
fathered nnd passed the original home
stead bill. He was then the youngest
nnd Is now the oldest member of the
house. The temalnder of the day was
devoted to the sunry civil appropiia
tlon hill, tho last but one of the great
supply bills.
In the Senate.
Tho senate today adopted the motion
of Mr. Hoar to take up the recommen
dation of the committee on elections,
declaring that Mr. Clark, of Montana,
was not duly elected to the senate, and
then postponed consideration of the
question for a week, The army appro
priation bill, after some rather spirited
debate, was passed without division.
The day closed with the passage of a
number of private pension bills, among
them being hills granting a. pension of
$100 per month to Mrs. Ju'.la Macy
Henry, widow of the late General Guy
V. Henry, and $30 a month each to
