IABOR'S CLAIMS,
The Boust Committee on Labor held a
long meeunslaet night. Every member
AS presentand Mr.. WeaYer's bill Great
ing departIlent Of labor was discussed.
Mr.. FOran, Q Cleveland, spoke against
Inc bill as ittands, He and others pre-
fer to nave bureau OF industry with
enlarged powrs, and which will take in
tne Agricultural bureau and the several
statistical Dteaus of the departments.
Tine trouble With the present labor bureau
is that its sppe is so limited as to be
practically vtueless. 1t IS allowed to
spend bat S2s0Q9 per year, While the
agricultural breau has four times that
amount simplylo look after pleuro pneu-
monla IN cattle.
1.-THE JEALOUSY.
The Agricultural COMMITTEES is some
what jealous of tie Labor Committee. but
for the purpose of working together
smoothly tle Lab)r Committee appointed
hartman ONeill and Mr.. Foran to con-
suit the Agricultural Committee OD plan
oi action. One Of the remarks in the COM
mlttee wa that labor questions are not
even propr attention by Congress, and
that the subject of the rate of wages, and
the moral md political condition OF the
labOring MN is more important than
other questlns on which Congress now
spends large Nms of nlOncy. The Labor
Committee WI hold further meetings and
hear represent tive men before taking
any action looking to the establishments OF
the new bureau.
CLEVELAAD WON'T WORRY.
a The action of ne Senate Republican
Faucus to-day tn NsOlving to ask the Pres
fldent 60 furnish tn Senate with full in
y formation respecting his suspensions
) rom and appoIntm nts to Office, will not
disturb the Presidtnt. He has not an
uounced what actiOt ne will take on such
O. request, but II is TCObable that he viii
furnish such information as is of record
ald VIII decline 10 furnish such informa-
4 uon as he regards as confidential. This
VIII probably not satisfy some Of the Re
publicans but IL ls the NOS, that they
viii get. Inen the question or them will
2 We whether they viii confivm the Presi-
tuenGs appOintees on such Information
Ss they have OF reject them oaiy to nave
Gther Democrats appointed intheH stead.
An the long run If they make ita matter of
endurance the President Wil tire them
eM. They VIII all probably oDme to see
LII5. Some Oh them see IL now
