Merlin, Sept. 21. Th
metal manufacturers today decided
to crush the strike ol -3,000 workers
which has lieen In progress several
days, by locking out the remalni.ig
7,000 employed until all the others
are ready to resume work. ,Oiwj
hundred and seventy factories uiv
Idle.
The labor situation thiough 'the
manufacturing districts Is acute, and
only the lateness of the season is
supposed to Intervene to prevent an
almost universal movement for high
er wages and shorter hours. Tlie
hopeless split hot ween the socialists
in tho relchstag, it was believed
nuuiu nave a deterrent effect upon
labor movements belonging In the
wage and time class, but such is not
the ease. In spito of the fact that the
socialists are divided, and u large
proportion of them are not .In sym
pathy with tho present striko move
ments, the dissatisfied laborers have
never shown such universal discon
tent, or lieen so well organized as at
present.
I he present movement of which
the metal workers' strike Is but a
preliminary ebulltlon, appears to lie
entirely divorced from politics, and
to have but few sympathizers among
the politico-Industrial agitators goi
erully; yet It Is a widespread, well
organized and formidable movement.

resolution demanding repeal of the
I timber and stone net, the desert hind
rjermiiii i law ami the commutation clauso of
the homestead law, was the only real
change made In Hie report. Tho
other resolutions were passed unan
imously, the most Important of which
follows:
Lewis and ClarK Exposition,
Whereas, An International exposi
tion will be held 111 the City of Port
land, Or., from May 1 to November
1, 19115, In eomniennirutlou of the
HMltli unnlveisary of the exploration
of the Oregon country by an expedi

vast resources of the semi-arid region
lying west of the 9'Jth meridian, und
practically demonstrate the possibili
ties in the line of reclaiming our so-
called arid lands by government an..
jirlvate Irrigation projects-;
Resolved, That this, the 11th an

tion Congress, gives Its unqualified
Indorsement, to said Lewis and Clark
centennial exposition and makes the

gress of tho United States
First That nn appropriation of not
less than $1,000,000 be made in aid
of suld exposition.
Second That a further appropria
tion of $250,000 bo made for the pur
pose of erecting a Lewis and Clark

m,.
linens, ino culture oi sugar
beets is already one of the most im
portant Industries of the arid West;
nnd
Whereas, Our homo market now
requires the annual Importation o1'
over $100,000,000 worth of this com
modity, the most natural product
that can be pioduced under irriga
tion, and shipped in great quantities
to our large centers of Eastern popu
lation; and
Whereas, Under the national Irri
gation act the culture of beets will
afford our greatest quick money
crop; and
Whereas. It is being urged that
the United States congress stimulate
the sugnr industry or the Philippine
Islands by reducing our tax upon
Philippine sugar, by increasing the
prent limited 2,500 acres which "in
dividual corporations may now hoi 1
to 25,000 acres, and by the Introduc
tion of contract coolie Chinese labor;
therefore be It
Resolved, That we hereby protest
against .the enactment of any legis
lation which will tend to arrest the
full development of the American
sugar industry by extending further
concessions to the employers of
Th" congress seemed to cheap Asiatic labor; that we are un
alterably opposed to the introduction
of contract coollo labor wherever the
American Hag floats nnd that legis
lative agitation or attacks on the
sugar Interests ol this country should
cease, to the end that this great In
dustry may develop in common with
all our other great industries.
