gentlemen on the other side ought not to
< assail this House because it could not bring
about remedy in day, but they ought
rather to confess the crimes and sins OF
Their twenty years OF legislation.
MR.. o'NEILL, OF MISSOURI,
said that the Arbitrat tlon bill had been dis
/. cussed by the House four days and not one
word OF partisan bias had been injected
lnto the debate. 1T had passed by a four
hIths vote, it had been ,eported unani-
mously by the Senate committee it had
Deen endorsed by the journals of the coun-
try and by the intelligence OF the country
and it rested with the gentlemen from Ohio
to take this petext Of injecting partisan
bias into the question. Thege tlemanwas
IKE a man with one story-"the gun
story"-if conversation di not give him
an opportunity OF telling his story he
would stamp his foot on the floor and saw,
"That sounds like gun; and talking of
guns, etc. The gentleman was SO full OF
partisan fire that he could resist no oppor-
tunity OF showing it.
MIR. REED, OF MAINE,
/
had cast for the arbitra ton bill The gen.
tleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. RandalD
III undertaking to excuse the President for
MS message, was the only man who had
accused him. Nobody on the Republican
side had found any fault with the President
or had even complained OF the lateness of his
arousing the subject. The question which
deliberately considered by Congress-. 1t
might be that Congress could devise a
remedy, it might be that it could not, but
II was bound to consider the question and
bound to consider it with regard to some
thing else besides the. November elections.
MIR. McREARY, OF KENTUCKY,
was gratified with the Presidents message.
regarding 1t as a wise aud forcible docu-
ment. The relations between labor and
Gcapltai ca were not as harmonious as they
should be, and the message looked towards
bringing them in harmony. He did not be-
neve that the proper way to settle the
dlflcultles between labor and capital was
to lose violence. He believed that arbi-
tratlon was the better plan. Congress
should recognize that labor had rights but
also that capital had rights and it was the
duty of Congress to cultivate harmony
and pleasant relations between the two.
MIR. SPRINGER, OF ILLINOIS,
supported his motion, contending that the
Committee on Labor was the proper com
mlttee to consider the message. He had
moved the instructions because he desired
TO respond promptly to the recommended
ION OF the President. The wise and
thoughtful message of the President should
De considered in proper spirit. He op-
posed the motion to refer it to the Com
nlttee OF the Whole, because it would be
,uried there
Mr.. Springer's motion was then agreed
