1 -Itt order to keep a horse in health, at

In winter,lt is best to trot horses for ex

exercise should not be given too late in
the autumn or too early m the spring. In
both eases it wilt have a bad effect on the
appearance of the horses, as their coats
during the ensuing season will be patched
and iwiry. Sweating exercise in, fine
weather, when the coats are changing,
i very useful and necessary; but when
the weather is bleak and - cold it should
be avoided, as it checks the shedding of
importanoe with regard to -health, and
this : refers to all kinds of live stock
No universal plan of ventilation can be
suggested, as it will aiwajs depend on
the state of the ; atmosphere, the num.

quently the plan of f entilation can
net always be alike. The great object
in .ventilaUon is that the air should be
constantly changing, without a direct
drafts of iVupon the animal. Thorough
draft ' hould .be ayoided, and when
men are in f the stable cleaning it, or
watering and attending to the horses,
the doora atboth ends should not be
opened at? once. The bedding should
on all occasions when the weather per
mits, be daily dried and aired in I the

to a representative of the Associated

1 WASHnralow, D, C,, April 23. --The
fourth day's session of the House select
cbmmittee On 'labor, difficulties in the
Southwest was opened at 11 a. m.,: with
the examination of Frederick S. Turner,
the general secretary and treasurer of
the Jbrightsfof LabOri '.
I Lawyer Swayne was again present, to
watch the proceedings in the interest
of the railroad companies. Superin-1
tendent Somerville, - of the Western
Union telegraph company, who! yester
day accompanied Mr. Gould, wai also
present. Representative Warner, of
Ohio, was istroduoed' to and had Hong
conversations with Messrs. McDowell and
Turner. The latter is a short, stout and
rather youthful-looking man ; of 40.
fie described himself as a resident of
Philadelphia and as secretary and gen
eral treasurer of the Knights of Labor.
He had been a gold-leaf beater, but had
not worked t that business since 1876.
He was now in the grocery business. He
had taken a part inj the attempt to ar
rive at a settlement, and was present at
the Powderly interview with Gould,;
The stenographic report of that inter
view was substantially correct. There
was a general talk about arbitration,
and all seemed pleased with the subject.
Jt was thought to be f the proper way of
settling disputes. In reply to Mr.
Parker, he stated tht there were1 121
district assemblies of; Knights of Labor
in the United States, with about six
thousand 10$al assemblies. In these lo
cal assemblies there "were from two to
three thousand members. ' , The
Knights of Labor had no political
object, and did not seek to influence
legislation. He had known of no such
argument On iheir; 'part. Mr. Parker
handed the witness's petition in favor
of the unlimited coinage Of the standard
silver dollarj purporting to be signed by
700" local assemblies. :
J;. Mr. Turner stated 'that he had never
seen or hearbVof the petition before, but
the organization did not deny the right
of afly assembly to 'petition Congress.
U was not responsible as a body for the
Action of particular; assemblies, his
movement in favor of unlimited coinage
was not si general movement of the
Knights. . I :' i r
Mr.Buchanan.after examining the pe-
tition, stated that he thought the'peti-1
ibn could be traced to sources outside
Of and unoonnected with the Knights
of Labor. ' - i I '
Mr. Turner; went on in reDlr to Ouea-
tions from Mr. Crain to describe the in-
iew he' and his colleague, $ Mr.
had with Mr. Hoxie in St? Louis.
He said Mr Hoxie'a treatment of them
was very discourteous; that he stated
he would have no oonversation with
them as officers of the Knight of Labor,;
but wpuld j receive them as American
citizens. They informed nun that they;
did not desire to stand on their dignity
and were willing tor talk with liim as
private citizens; that all they Wanted
was to hate the trouble settled, peace
restored and the men sent back to work.'
Mr. Cram: Was the strike overt then?
Mr. Turner: None of our people
were atrork; the strike was not i Over.
The Chairman j In your statement
you used the word "order" in infer
ence to men going back to work. , I
wantto know whether the central power
of your organization can order men to
work or order them to quit work 7
Mr. Turner: General laws do not
contemplate strikes.; ' .
The Chairman : That is not the quest
tion. A- - ! !.
Mr. Turner (hesitatingly) : Well, I
do not understand that if we issued an
Order for the men to go to work they
would refuse to go, no matter who or
dered them out. f ; ; j
Mr. i Crain: You have no ' power to
order a strike, have you ? .
Mr. Turner: les. f )
The Chairman (with an air of sur
prise) : You have ?
Mr. Turner: les. There is no law
in our constitution' governing strikes
vinl tiAliAwa fn aVaa 'it'-
Mr. Crain : Then where do you de-1
rive your power to order strikes? j
Mr. Turner : We nave no power
directlv to order strikes. butv we have
the power to approve or disapprove
Mr.: Crain : Was this strike approved
or disapproved?
Mr. Turner : We never knew any-
thing about it until we received a tele-
gram from Mr. Hopkins.
Ithas
never
been approved.
i Ml. Crain: Then I suppose the
power is vested in you to direct men to
return to "work. S
Mr. Turnery ; Yes. J
Going back to the interview with Mr
Hoxie, Mr. Turner quoted Mr, Hoxie
as saying their dutv was to see Martin
Irons. They replied they thought it
better to talk with Hoxie. Uoxie said
the company would not require mqre
than 50 per cent of its former force.
1hat when the former strikes .loecurred
the company had reduced, the hours ; of
labor and incieased the number of men,
but now he would reduOe the number
of men and increase the hours of work,
because the general expenses of the rail
road were the same whether j the men
work long hours or short hours. The
stenographer's report of file Interview
was. handed Grain, who proceeded to
'question Turner on the various points
therein stated. ; F
: .Mr. Crain : Do you mean to say that
when Mr. Hoxie was seenuhgly putting
his objection on two grounds, namely,
that the company only wanted 50 per
cent Of its former force and, that he
waniea u. rigu i acieouiur won even
fronts Knihii of iiboF Yon reall;
wanted the right of selecting them even
believed men were to be refused em
ployment simply on the ground that
they were Knights of Labor?
Mr. Turner: Yes, I mean that.
Mr. Crain: Is the strike over now? ;
Mr. Turner: I do not know. I have
only the newspapers to go by. Our
people are not at work.
Mr. Crain: Who ordered the strike?
Mr. Turner: District assembly No.
101.
; Mr. Crain: What officer was author
thorited to promulgate it?
Mr. Turner: The secretary of that
district assembly, Mr. Martin Irons.
. Being questioned on the subject of ar
bitration, Mr. Turner said he had read
the President's message on that point
today and thoroughly agreed with it
He believed that there should be some
fixed tribunal of arbitration, not one
raised on the spur of the moment. He
thoroughly believed in arbitration, and
would like to see arbitration made com
pulsory. , j
Mr. Grain: Suppose the arbitrators
reported that .the Knights of Labor
should go to work at a dollar per day,
when they wanted a dollar and a half,
are you willing as ah American citizen
to say you would ask your fellow mem
bers of the Knights of. Labor to abide
by that?
Mr. Turner: If I entered into an
agreement to abide by arbitration I
would submit to the award.
Mr. Buchanan asked whether, that
subject was within the province of the
executive board, and the witness replied
that it was not.
Mr. Buchanan: The strike is ordered
by the district assembly? fc ;
Mr. Turner : Yes.
Mr. Buchanan: When a strike is
ordered, what is the first action taken
by the' executive board ?
Mr. Turner : It . takes no action in
the matter unless appealed to.
Mr. Buchanan : And do you then
seek to investigate the right or wrong
of the matter?
Mr. Turner : Yes. . i :
Mr. Buchanan t You also seek to have
differences composed? '
Mr. Turner : Yes. .
Mr. Kuchauan : If you do not suc
ceed, what is the next step ? r I
Mr. Turner: If we approve it we
have to lend it a hand financially. '
i Mr. Buchanan : Do you ever direct
financial assistance to a strike without
first investigating its propriety ? J
I Mr. Turners No.
Mr. McDowell was recalled and made
a statement as to the propriety of haying
railroad engineers and officers licensed
by the general government. He favored
that, finding an analogy for it in the
licensing of steamship captains , and
pilots. These men Were bound to bring
their vessels into "port, and so railroad
engineers should be bound to bring
their engines to their -destination, r The 1
laws governing international commerce
were drawn up with great care.T The
railroads had come in and taken the
place largely of that kind of commerce,
and inter-State commerce by rail could
be and should be governed by the same
sort of laws. As to arbitration, it must
necessarily be voluntary; it seemted to
him that the difference between the
President and the House on that subject
was as to the appointment of the third
arbitrator.Selection by the UnitedStates
judge, the President seemed to re
gard as an unusual thing.
Mr. Crab: Evidently the President
had not read the bill as it passed the
House. There is nothing Of that kind
in it. An arbitration is to be appointed
on each side, and the, two are to, select
the third. ;
Mr. Buchanan: In other words the
President's criticism was of a bill not
passed by the House. Referring to the
remark made yesterday by Mr. flop
kins as to prominent persons connected
with the Knights of Labor having been
seen around the brokers offices,; 'the
most positive denials of all the stock
speculation were made by Messrs. Pow
derly, McDowell and Turner.
Thomas P. Bynder, of Centre county,
Pennsylvania, made an appeal to th
committee on behalf or the miners in
Pennsylvania and West Virginia, that
the oommittee should have its powers
enlarged so as to investigate the troubles
I in the mining regions

would, on its return, ask to have its

Washington, April 23. The House
met at lllo clock, in continuation of
yesterday'! session, and immediately
went into oommittee of the whole (Mr.
Wellborn in the chair) on the river and
harbor appropriatisn bill. For. an hour
the bill was-considered and some little
progress was made, and a few mo
ments before noon the committee rose,
the i house adjourned and the ses
sion of Friday opened with . prayer by
the chaplain.
The President s message upon the
abor troubles having been read by the
clerk, Mr Springer, of Illinois, moved
its reference to the oommittee on labor.
with instructions , to that oommittee
to report -upon it by bill or other
wise on or before May 15.
Mr. Hammond, of Georgia, thought
that there was no reason to believe that
the oommittee would not act diligently
and it was : unusual to instruct a com
mittee on such a matter.
Mr. Butterworth, of Ohio, moved to
refer the message to the committee of
the whole. I
Mr. Butterworth's motion lost yeas
77, navs 147. There being thirty min
utes debate allowed under the rules
Mr. Butterworth secured the floor. The
object of his motion to refer the mes
sage to the 'committee of the whole, he
said, had been considered by some gen
tlemen as unwise, because it could not
be reached' at an early day. Every
gentleman believed, or affected to be-
teve, that' toe .message presented a
Question of ast conseauence
to
the : country. It was his
A - - .
purpose
to ask unanimous consent to fix
an early day for the consideration
of thisi question, with the hope and ex
pectation that it might be fairly consid
ered, not with the view of controlling
elections in November, but with the
view to getting a right solution of the
great problem. Mr. Butterworth said
Congress owed it to itself to take up the
abor question and consider it carefully.
and then refer the subject to an : appro
priate committee. If it were referred
to the committee ' now, he feared that a
measure would be reported representing
not the needs of hour but the political
necessities of the coming campaign.
Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, con
fessed a feeling of surprise at the man
ner i with i which the gentleman from
Ohio had approached this subject. He
desired to direct , his attention ; to the
fact that the constitution made it the
duty of the President from time to
tune to communicate to Uongress-toueh-
the state of the Union and recommend
such measures as he shall deem necessary
and expedient. The President had not
ventured a hair's breadth beyond that and
how was he met here ? Be was met With
an assault on his motives. There was
not one word against the proposition
which he made. On the contrary there
was not an intelligent man in the coun
try but knew that the present condition
of labor in- the oountry commanded the
attention of Congress. It was easy to
question men s' motives. He had also
suppose that the right to question the
motives of a human teing rested with a
higher power. He asked that the mes
sage should have due consideration and
deliberation, and . a remedy for the
troubles oOnourred in if possible. He
declared proudly that there was not a
word in it that appealed in any particu
lar to any party or 'any sect or any class
of men .. in the ITnited : States.
On the .contrary it appealed to
Congress I as a body! of American
oitisens' wishing for the publio welfare.
(Applause).
Mr. Weaver, of Iowa, was in favor of
the mouon to commit with instructions
that the message might be calmly con
sidered. The gentleman from Ohio (Mr.
Butterworth) said it could only receive
a deu Derate ua cum aiscussion in
committee of the whole, but wnat
example had the gentleman him
self set?- It was easy to find
fault to; carp and criticise, but it re
quired statesmanship and calm delibera
tion to meet the underlying causes of
the present troubles.
Mr. Gibson, of West Virginia, re-;
gretted that the gentleman from Ohio
should undertake to bring politics into
the discussion of this question. The
gentleman had charged the majority of
the House with not bringing forward a
proposition which would nave any prac
tical results on the laoor troupies
The troubles the country was suffering
from Were the results of powers given
by corrupt Congresses to great corpora
tions' under twenty years of Republican
administration. It was watered stock
and unjust charters granted by Congress
against which labor was rebelling. The
gentlemen on the other side ought not
to assail this House because it could not
bring 'about a remedy in a day, but
ought rather to confess the crimes and
sins of their twenty years of legisla
tion. ;
Mr; 0'Neill, of Missouri, said that
the arbitration bill had been discussed
by the Bouse for four days, and not one
word of partisan bias had been injected
into the debate. ; It had passed by a
a four-fifths vote. It had been reported
unanimously by the Senate committee;
it had been endorsed by the press and
by the intelligence of the country and
it rested with the gentleman from Ohio
to : take this pretext of , injecting
m partisan bias into the ' question.
The gentleman was like the : man with
one story we gun svory ii we con
versation did not give him an oppor
tunity of telling his story he would
stamp his foot on the floor and say
"That pounds like ft fun, tad talking
of guns, etc." The gentleman was so
full of partisans bile that he could resist
no opportunity of showing it.
Mr. Reed, of Maine, expressed: his
satisfaction with' the vote he had cast
for the arbitration bill. The gentleman ;
from Pennsylvania, Mr. Randall, in un- :
dertaking to excuse the President for
his message, was the only man who had :
accused him. 'Nobody on the Repub
lican 'side had found any fault; with
the President or even complained
of the lateness of his arousing
to the subject. The question
which was stirring among the : peo
ple should be deliberately considered
by Congress. It might be that : Con
gress could devise a remedy. It might
be that it could not, but it was bound
to consider the question and bound $o
consider it with regard to something
else besides the November election. ,
Mrs MoCreary, fof Kentucky, was
gratified with the President's message,
regarding it as a wise and forcible docu
ment; The relations between labor and
capital were not as harmonious as they
should be, and the message looked; to
wards bringing them into harmony.; He
did not believe that the proper way to
settle the difficulties between labor and
capital was to use violence. He be
lieved that arbitration was the better
fIan4 Congress should recognize that
abor .had rights, but also that capital
had rights, and it was the duty of
Congress to inculcate harmony and
pleasant relations, between the two. '
Mr. Springer, of Illinois, supported
his motion, contendingjthat the commit
tee on labor was the proper committee
to consider the message. He had moved
the instructions because he desired to
respond promptly to the recommenda
tions of the President. The wise : and;
thoughtful message of the President
should be considered in a proper spirit.:
He opposed the motion to refer it to the
committee of the whole, because it wpuld
be buried there. Mr. Springer's mo
tion was then agreed to.
Mr. Voorhees, of Washington Terri
tsry; rising to a question of privilege,
offered the following resolution : ,' ;
Resolved, That the committee on
rules, be instructed to inquire whether
Hon. L. D. M. Sweatt, or any; ether
ex-member of the House, l. rwbo
has availed himself of the privilege of
admmission to the floor under rule 34,
is interested as an agent or attorney for
any railroad or other corporation or in
terested in any claim or bill pending be
fore Congress, and report to the House
the result of Such inquiry, with such
recommendations as may be necessary.
It had been an open secret, he said,
that ever since the beginning : of this
Congress, a powerful body organized in
the interest of various railroad corpora
tions had invested the capital, and that
the rules of the House had been openly.
repeatedly and notoriously set at de
fiance by some members of that lobby i.
He protested against the continu
ance of that ranx and crying abuse.
He did not intend to reflect upon
Mr. Sweatt, but had inserted his name
because he personally knew Sweatt was
the attorney for the Northern Pacifio
company. Accepting the suggestions
made by"Messrs. Blount and Randall,
Mr. Voorhees modified his resolution by
omitting the name of Sweatt, and by pro
viding that the inquiry shall be carried
on by a select committee of five mem
bers. As so modified the resolution
was adopted.
The House then went into oommittee
of the whole on the private calendar.
At 4:30 the oommittee rose, and at 4:40
the House took a recess till 7:80, the
evening session to be for the considera
tion of pension bills. - ;
