WASHINGTON July ". .--SENATB-Mr Peffep
| in his address OH the relations OF employers
| and emplo :es, referred to the troubles at Home
| stead. and said the employers at that place
| were protected by the power OF the state in
| keeping their old workmen out and In bringing
| in new men. The troops surrounded their
| mills Their proprietors were protected, while
| the workmen were sent to Jail. In calling at
tention to these facts he represented, and
spoke in the name of AT least two Of the. largest
| organizations of workmen and women in the
country. The country was face TO face with one
| of the gravest phases Of tho labor problem;
| and there were but three peaceful ways out Of
It. The first was for the government to keep
Its hands of both parties and let the employers
| and the employed settle the matter between
| themselves. And they would do it and do II
without q resort to arms
| HoUsE-Mr. White, in q three hours' speech
| against the antioption bill, said OF it's passage
| 1t would strike blow at the commerce Of
the country, the length and breadth and width
| and depth Of which no human mind could COM
| pass until its results OF disaster were worked
out There was consensus Of opinion on the
part OF the great commercial bodies d the
country against the measure. In proof OF this
| he sent to the clerks desk and had read resolu-
tons Of the chamber of commerce of the state
of New York, protesting against it as injurious
to the best interests OF the community. That
| great body. he said, was not o trade body. II
was not the chamber of commerce Of New
| York city, but Of the state Of New York.
