Mr.. Chipman Mich. said that he
would vote for the bill because the la
boring men seemed - desire II. but be
thought that they should have asked
for a stronger measure.
Mr.. Brewer (Mich.) asserted that the
men who had worked in the navy yards
had entered into contract with the
Government 10 wC-k ten hours and had
been paid for ten hours work. To say
that they took the work under protest
and that they ought 70 be repaid for the
extra two hours was too ridiculous an
argument 10 be presented IN any intel
ligcnt bo :. This was species CT class
legislation. Too true WAS IL that the
great body OF the people to-day
had seemingly come 10 the con-
clusion that the Government in
some way had duty to perform in sup
porting the people, instead oi the peo-
pie supporting the Government They
seemed TO think that there was in
this Capital city fountain OF wealth
which poured forth greenbacks. gold
and silver in untold quantities, and that
ii was the duty of Congress TO so legis-
late that this money should be divided
among the people, and this was tho
reason that they were asking for special
legislation.
EnMUNDs' PROPOSITION FoB 4 RECESS.
WASHINGTON. Aug. So.-There was a
great deal of talk at the capitol about
an extra session OF Congress. Ii was
precipitated by a resolution introduced
in the Senate by Senator ERmunds
providing that Congress shall take re-
cess from September l9 to November 10.
The resolution was simply an Individual
suggestion from Senator Edmulds, was
in no way the result of any conference
or understanding among the Republic
ans, and was intended simply as basis
upon which to discuss the feasibility Of
a recess. 1t is not likely that recess
can be taken. The Democrats would
fight it to the bitter end, as II would pre-
sage the consideration CT the elections
bill. and it could not be finally agreed
to without amending the rules. Many
Republicans believe it would be better.
should it lie deemed advisable 70 have
more time in the next session, for the
President to call Congress together.
The President has not expressed him
self to any ono upon the question OF an
extra session.
