LABOR LEGISLATION.
The Phillips Bill and Other Measures to
Be Pushod.
F.x-Keprcsonti.tlve Mciiann, of Chicago,
cbairiuuu ol the labor committee lu tbe lust
bouse Is In Wasbiugtou attending to some de
partmental matters. As Mr. Mclisnn is
prominent Is labor circles, he was inked what
legislation of Interest to labor tbe coming
congress would be urged to pass. He re-
I pllcil:
I "I do not know Just what the labor leader
will unite upon, lu my ludirment, however,
the Phillips' commission bill, ol which thu
member lrom Philadelphia Is the author,
ought to be enacted Into a law. ll Is a merl
tlous measure, uud should have been passed
through tbe last congress. It would have
passed the house but for the treachery of
eertulu members who bud promised to aid
Sir. Phillips, aud then secretly opposed Ibe
b,ul. The laboring people iu my suction, and
especially the railroad employes, are very
rtiu.'h in favor ol tbe Phillips bill, und will do
alltliey eau to secure its passage. They nre
a' noxious thut Mr. Phillip shall be ap
pointed vhmrmau ol the Inbor commlttuo by
hiieuker Heed, so that ha will have tbe ad
vantage of that position to push theJLull.
Chief. Hargeut ol tbe Locomotive Firemen,
mid Arthur of the Fiitfinuers, nnd Mr. Goiu
pers if the Federation of Labor, are in
thusiastlo for tho Phillips bill, uud will do all
they can to assist Its author iu nuy way.
Mr. Phillips, however, will havu opposition
lor theclmirinan-liip. as 1 understand that
Mr. Gardner, ol New Jersey, uud Mr. Cleary
of Minnesota are both striving lor the same
honor."

LAEOF. NOTES.
ENDEAVOR SPLIT.
7oung People Are BelDg Taught Wrong
Doctrines.
At the second dny'a session of the Fust
Ohio synod of the Evangelical Lutheran
ehuwli beld in Akron, a resolution wns In
troduced and passed thut will cause no little
excitement among tbe Christian Kndcavor
people of the state of Ohio. Tbe resolution
Is to tbe effect that a committee shall be ap
pointed to coufer with O'lmmittees appointed
by other syuods, who shall appoint un ex
ecutive committee to orguuize u state league
of tbe Young People's society ol the Lutheran
churches of Obio. Tbe discussion of the
mutter brought forth some rather startling
acusatlons against the slate iiuiuu ol Chris,
tlnn Kudeavor societies. First It Is churned
that tbe ollicial organ, tbn "Golden Kile," is
edited by a t'uitari.m, aud that tho doctrines
expounded by hi in lu his paper are not the
proper oues to be read by Lutheran young
people. Therelore It is advised to organl.tt
u Lutheran league, and take the controlling
power ol the church out ol the buuds of the
htato Christian F.uduuvor uulou, and glvo it
to tbo Lutheran icauue. It was ulso stutud
thut tho Mute Christiuu Kudeavor uulou was
entirely too denominational uud by no menus
Lutheran. The resoiutuii was iutioduced
by l:ev. C. L heller of Akron. t
