al. The only difference was that the
pending bill provided Tor special boards OF
arbitration to be appointed by the Presi.
dent to inquire into the causes OF strikes
and report to congress.
Mr.. Parker, OF New York, regarded the
bill ia good for nothing. It pointed no.
where and went nowhere. It was q mere
temporary makeshift, and left all the
great questions which were troubling the
labor 81 tho country precisely where they
were before, with O mere pretense that
congress had don something. It was
sweeten ed wind. It was q cheat and fraud
upon the people OF the country. He fav.
ored a law upon the subject which would
prevent the m of the country from
being para:yzed whenever q difference &C.
cured between a railroad management and
it's employees.
Mr.. Tillman OF South Carolina hoped
that the house would not allow this
fraud to pass. 1t was as useless as a bal
loon. 1t was a mere tub to a whale.
MI. Tarsney Of Michigan favored the bill as
a step in the right direction, although he
admitted that it did not reach the foun.
dation OF the labor troubles.
Mr.. Buchanan. OF New Jersey, said that
the remark OF the gentleman from New
cheat. was conspicuously inaccurate. The
committee On labor did not claim that
there was anything in the bill except a
provision for voluntary arbitration.
Grave difficulties would beset the Ameri-
can congress when it attempted to go
further than that.
Mr.. Breckenridge, OF Kentucky, regarded
the measure as unconstitutional and un.
wise.
The committee then rose, the bill was
passed, and the house adjourned.
SENATE.
Mr.. Hoar offered q resolution, which was
referred to the committee on foreign rela.
tions, providing that the official reporter
shall be admitted to report the debates
and proceedings OF the senate when the
fisheries treaty shall be under considera-
ton.
The senate then resumed consideration
OF the bill for the admission of South Da.
kota. and it was finally passed by a strict.
ly party vote.-Yeas 25, nays 23.
