"WASHINGTON, March 1L The contro versy between the American Federation of Labor and the Knights of Labor was brought Into the courts again today, -when the Southern Expanded Metal . Company brought Injunction proceedings against A,i:t otz. Henry F. Getz and Rob ert Fortner' to prevent the defendants from further interfering with the com plainant and its workmen. The Getzes are building" contractors, and Fortner is the owner of an apartment-house on an addition to which the workmen are em ployed. It Is charged that the work of the com plainant was stopped March 3 by the con tractors, on the ground that, though the work was being performed by local union workmen, the workmen were objectionable because they were not affiliated with the Federation of Labor. The complainant oaj-s that If the Federation establishes Its claim to prevent other local union labor from working on buildings whereon Knights of Labor members are employed, the company will be stopped from the fur ther execution of many large contracts under way, and will be barred from ob taining or competing for further con tracts, with consequences ruinous to the complainant and to good and lawful work Justice Hagner. of the District Equity Court, declined to sign a temporary re straining order, owing to a technicality In the form of the bill, but gave counsel per mission to amend It. ADMIT THEY "WE KB WKOXG. Colorado & Southern Employe Call Oft Their Strike. DENVER. March 1L The blacksmiths.' boller-makora and machinists formerly in the employ of the Colorado & Southern Hallway Company have declared their strike and boycott oft. They Issued the following statement this afternoon for publication: . . Denver, Colo.. March 1L The black smiths, boiler-makera and machinists, ex employes of the Colorado & Southern Hallway Company, desire through the un dersigned authorized committee to eay that the recent strike of the employes of the railway company was the result of misunderstanding between the employes in the blacksmith shop and mis representation of their case to the boiler-makers and machinists. The railway company, having nothing whatever to do with the controversy, should not have been asked to take any part In it. and we consider that a great mistake was made In demanding any ac tion on the part of the company. We ad mit that the company acted properly and fairly, and we have no one to blame but ourselves for our present condition. "We have no grievance against the company. The boycott which has been declared is now off and we wish the public to know our attitude In the matter. "JOHN NELSON. "WILLIAM FARRELL. "WILHELM VOSS." J. M. Herbert, vice-president and general manager of the company, eald regarding the action of the strikers: "This communication, signed by the ex ecutive committee representing those who left our mechanical departments, was sent to me yesterday for my Information and publication. I understand that it voices the unanimous sentiment of the entire body of men. and I think clearly vindi cates the action of the company. This declares the strike off unconditionally; the only request which accompanied the paper being that the men be treated individually. and that such of them whose services might be required from time to time be permitted to make application without prejudice, which has been granted."

COXFEREXCE OX SOUTHERN. Conductors and Trainmen to DIscbss Wages "With Officials. SAN FRANCISCO, March 11. Tomorrow afternoon the joint grievance committee of the Order of Railway Conductors and Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, which has been in the city since Monday, will formally submit to Manager Agler, of the Southern Pacific, the demands of the two orders for a 20 per cent advance in wages. Today, pursuant to telegraphic Instruc tions from Manager Agler, all the super intendents of the various branches of the Southern Pacific west ot El Paso and Og den and of the branch to Oregon arrived here. Among the officials summoned are: R. H. Myron, of Los Angeles; C. C. Stroufe, of Tucson; B. A. Worthlngton, of the Coast Division; A. S. Palmer, of Oakland; R, J. Laws, of Sacramento; S. Burkhalter, of Bakersfleld; J. S. Noble, of Salt Lake; P. McGrath. superintendent of the Carson & Colorado Southern, and L. R. Fields, superintendent of the com oanv's lines In Oregon. The nurnose of having tne envision su perintendents of the road attend the con ference is to determine how their respec tive branches will be affected by the de mands made by conductors and the train men. While the demand of the employes Is a 20 per cent increase, it Is thought a settlement will be reached on a basis of 12 or 15 per cent FORCING ISSUE AT VANCOUVER.

WILL NOT SELL SAN JOSE PILOT-BOAT WILL REMAIN THE PROPERTY OF THE STATE. Commissioners Are Opposed, to Tying Their Hands by Giving: Up to the Pilots Their Only Boat. ASTORIA. March 11. (Special.) The proposed sale of the state pilot schooner San Jose to the Columbia River bar pilots has not been consummated, and will not be by the present Board of Commission ers. That decision was arrived at by a unanimous vote of the members. What action the new board will take, of course, cannot be ascertained until after It meets and organizes, but as at least two of Its members are known to be opposed to the sale, the schooner is likely to remain the property of the state for some time to come. Secretary Tj. T. Chutter, of the board. In explaining the decision of the commission this evening, said that his annual reports for the past three years had stated that the San Jose .was unseaworthy and unfit for service on the bar. The statement being based on the reports of the. pilots to the commission, he had recommended that the vessel be sold, but had also rec ommended that a new schooner be pro cured, so that the state would always have a boat In the service. In the face of these recommendations, the Legislature bad, without consulting the commission, and upon the sole recommendation of a special Legislative committee, passed a concurrent resolution authorizing the sale of the schooner to the pilots for the fixed price of $1000, although perhaps a much better figure could have been obtained The Legislature failed to provide for a new schooner, thus opening the way for what the commission was endeavoring to avoid, namely, placing the whole pilot 'service at the mouth of the Columbia River in the hands of a few men. For the commission to sell the San Jose to the pilots would look too much like a "job." It would be selling to them for use on the bar a vessel which' the com mission had In Its official reports de nounced as unsafe for that service. Fur ther than that. It would be tying the hands of the Commissioners. They could not appoint an additional pilot or replace any who might drop from the service without the sanction of the existing pilots, because there would be no boat for them to go on. The commission believes that the best interests of the service demand that the state schooner be retained, and so long as the Legislature simply "author ized" the sale of the San Jose, and did not direct that she must be sold, the Commis sioners will decline to dispose of her and will turn her over to their successors in office. V COULD THE BOAT BE SOLDI Governor Chamberlain Thinks Would Require Special Act. It SALEM. Or., March 1L (Special.) Gov ernor Chamberlain this morning tele graphed the Board of Pilot Commissioners at Astoria inquiring whether any action had been taken under the concurrent res olution of the last Legislature authorizing u sale of the pilot schooner San Jose. He asked that, If no action had yet been taken, the commission delay the sale until an investigation can be had of the legal authority of the board to pro ceed. In speaking of the matter Gov ernor Chamberlain said that It seemed a little strange that the Legislature should, by mere resolution, direct the sale of state property. In view of the fact that the schooner cost $6000 and Is to be sold for 51000. he thought there should be no doubt about the legality of the pro ceedings. Without having investigated the legal questions Involved, he Is of the opln Ion that the authority for the sale of state property should be by an act passed In the usual manner. If the pilot schooner can be sold by mere resolution, passing without roll call, the Legislature can In the same manner direct the sale of the asylum, the State University or the Cap! tol. The Governor thinks the sale should be authorized by the passage of a bill. which has been printed and read three times in each house and passed upon by the ayes and noes. The resolution author izlng sale of the pilot schooner was H. C. R. 32. Introduced by the special commit tee on Inspection of pilotage at the mouth of the Columbia. It was adopted by the House on February 19 and by the Senate on February 20. It is as follows: "Whereas, the pilot schooner San Jose is practically useless for service on the Columbia bar except during the Summer months, when there is very little shipping; "Be It resolved, by the House, the Sen- p.te concurring, that the Board of Pilot Commissioners of the State of Oregon be. and they are hereby authorized to sell and dispose of said pilot sch6oner San Jose tc the Oregon bar pilots, now owners of the schooner Joseph Pulitzer, at such figures and on such terms as said. Board of Pilot Commissioners shall deem for the best Interests of the state, and that said pilot schooner be foereafter maintained without any expense to the state. "Provided, that said pilot schooner be sold to the bar pilots upon the condition that the be put into service during tho Summer months, or when the Joseph Pul itzcr Is laid up for repairs In the Summer, ant' without any expense to the state. "Provided further, that the said Oregon bar pilots shall give and execute to the State of Oregon a bond In the sum of 51000 to be approved by the Board of Pilot Commissioners, to the effect that they will put said schooner In good repair and condition and maintain her and use said schooner exclusively as a pilot' boat on the Columbia River bar. and outside thereof, fpr the "period of two years from the date of the bill of sale, and In the event of a failure to com ply with any of the provisions of said bond, the same shall be forfeited to the State of Oregon." The legal phase of the question is pre. sented by the fact that the sale was au thorlzed by a concurrent resolution, which docs not require a vote by roll call, nor any other formality. It has always been considered by the Legislature that a joint resolution has tho same effect as a law passed by bill, but the roll is alwayi called on the adoption of a joint resolu tion. Governor Pennoyer often questioned the power of the Legislature to adopt joint resolutions, which would have the effect of laws, for If the Legislature has that nower It can deprive the Governor of his veto" power. No one has ever claimed a similar effect for a concurrent resolution. The legal status of a joint resolution has never been passed upon by the courts of this state. It was held a number of years ago'by the Supreme Court of Mississippi that a joint resolution In that state has the same effect as a statute, but in that state the constitution required that joint resolutions be approved by the Governor the same as bills; In this state joint reso lutions are not given that dignity by the constitution, and concurrent resolutions are not mentioned at all. Governor Chamberlain tonight received a message from the . secretary of the Board of Pilot Commissioners saying that the board had decided to Ignore the reso lutlon. WILL SEARCH FOR GOLD. Captain McLeod Sails for the Strait of Magellan. Captain Charles H. McLeod is about to sail from Halifax In an S3-ton schooner to seek for placer gold In the Straits of Le Ma ire. The schooner, which will leave the Eastern port this week, has on board timber for houses and sluices, and all mining appliances a complete outfit for washing gold and amalgamating. In case the gold-seeking venture does not turn out a success, the seal rookeries ot tne Southern coast will be the goal of the sehnnnprn erew. and thev- are taking a shipment of salt along in case it Is neces sary to go ashore and club seals to re coup the promoters of the expedition. Oantiln McLeod has been In the Straits of Magellan several times, having landed there on one occasion, and he was aston ished at the brightness of the sand. On pxsmJnntlnn. hf snvs. he found the sand rich in gold, and kept samples of the sand. Analysis of these samples, showed tne beach to be a gold field. Captain McLeod talked the matter over with friends, and soon had $20,000 subscribed for the expedi tion. The gold-laden oeacn is Detween Cape Horn and the Straits of Le Maire. Cmtain McLeod was mate of the steam er Danube on the trip she made north to th "Prlhvlnffs. carrlnsr the Seallnc Com missioners to the Islands of the Behring Sea. He was afterward mate on tne steamer Wellington, engaged In carrying coal from British Columbia to San Fran cisco. He Is well known to shipping men of the Pacific Coast, VOYAGE OF THE DUN EARN. Coal Ship Was Unable to Round Cape Horn. Cantata Hacklund. of the British bark Dunearn. which made a 220 days' trip from Cardiff to Sitka with coal ior tne Rnvemmont station there, makes the fol lowing report of the long passage: "We left Barry June u. ana naa tui u AT'Pntfni vnvnre extent off the Horn.
