committee on labor to-day heard Repre-.
sentatiye Reagan IN opposition TO the
Blair educational bill,
His principal objection was ON consti-
tutional grounds. After MIR. Reagan's
argument four or i've members Of the
committee made set speeches, defining
their own Views on the subject These
speeches caused prolonged aud at times
a very animated discussion. Representa-
tive Daniel OF Virginia moved that the
committee report as a substitute bin to
appropriate the proceeds arising from the
sale Of public lands during the next fiscal
year. After session OF two hours the
committee adjourned without action.

partment Of labor to have records on tlle,
to take careful and constant study OF
the labor question, and be ready TO act
