Tho House Committee on Labor Makes Its
Report For an Investigation
Z WASHINGTON, May 1l.-Chairman Nc.
Gam, Of the house committee on labor,
has completed the report favorable to
an investigation by special joint COM
Inittee Of tho senate and the house OF
the depressed condition Of labor and OF
the Coxey movement
Tho report advocates immediate act
ion and says that Congress should en-
deavor TO alleviate this condition of
affairs cannot reasonably be questioned,
and the cause OF such financial and in
dustrial depression as the committee
may find will more thoroughly en-
tighten and aid Congress as to the best
course to pursue. 1t cannot be denied
that the influx OF pauper labor into our
country and the use OF convict labor
against the skilled American workmen,
us we'll as the employment OF women
and children in factories and industries
OF all kinds, arc among tho many causes
which have tended, not only to lessen
the value Of mans labor, but to greatly
diminish tho field Of industries in which
he could find opportunity for u prodta.
BILE use OF his energy and skill.

a Lively Tilt lIctwoen 1ir. Rccd and Amos
Cummings, OF Now York.
WASHINGTON, May l1.-After action
on somc minor bills tho house at 1927
to-day went into committee OF the whole
to consider general appropriation bills
(Alr. Richardson, OF Tennessee, in tho
chair) and the naval appropriation bill
was taken up. Mr.. Boutelle advocated
liberality towards tho navy to continue
the work commenced undcr Secretary
Chandler.
Tho discussion was closed by Mr.
Cummings, chairman of tho naval af-
fairs committee, who revived the old
charges against tho Robson regime.
Mr.. Reed delivered sarcastic reply
to Mr.. Cummings. He ridiculed the up.
plause which had followed the close Of
Mr.. Cummings speech, asserting that it
was the applause oil men who wero ig-
norant OF tho facts.
Tho apooch OF tho gentleman from
Now York was merely rehash OF an
attack which no had made on him (Mr.
Recd) iu the tiity-frst Congress, whom
he was unable TO reply to them even il
he chose to do go. Repe.itions Of fail
ures never made success and he was sur
prised that the gentleman should resur-
rect the charges.
II made no mention of the Bedford
scandal" interrupted Mr.. Cummings.
II have never such largo majority
as whom tho navy yards are in the pos.
session OF the Democrats" retorted Mr..
Reed. "lf I were willing to sacrifice
the country for my good would like to
have tho Democrats in power all the
time" Republican cheers and laugh
ter.
Tho debate continued some timo
longer, taking on very acrimonious
character and the house adjourned.
At the night session sig private PEN
sion bills were favorablv acted upon,
and at 1927 the house adjourned. r.

Sarcastic Speech.
WASHINGTON, May lin the senate
to-day the pending amendment to the
tariff bill was that of Mr.. Perkins to
tho amendment OF Mr.. Jones (Arkan-
sas) to increase tho duty on boracic acid.
Mr.. Jonea' amendment increased the
duty from 20 per cent advulorem to .
cents per pound.
Mr.. Perkins amendment was to In.
crease 1t to the present rate-5 cents.
Mr.. Chandler said, In his opinion, 1t
was unwise to go ahoad with the con-
sidera,ion OF tho tariff bill until tho SEN
ate and country wcro informed upon
what principle the bill was framed. It
had been changed, torn and patched
with protective tariff, free trade and
revenue tariff dusies until it was nell

Mr.. Chandler succeeded in irritating

with some temper, to lay the pending

WASHINGTON, D. G., May 1.-THE Re-
publicans to-day by their votes, and in
private conversation, indicated tho pur.
posc OF voting 70. tho amendments pro-
posed BY the Democratic compromise
comnittee wherever they increase
duties and change from the advalorom
to the specific system. 1t is understood
that this question. OF policy was under
discussion by. the Republican advisory
committee to-day, and that while u
majority OF those present counseled
this course, the decision was not unau-
imous. 1t is one OF tho questions which
will be discussed at the Republican eau
Gus to be held on Monday night.
Among other matters which probably
will receive attention at the hands OF
tho caucus is tina! of tho policy to be
pursued In debating tho tariff bill.
There arc como Republican senators
who hold that il the Republicans aro
to pursue the policy OF niding the Dem.
ocrats in perfecting the bill by voting
for the amendments 1t is useless to pro.
long the debate and extend the session
merely to have the bill pass in the end
In tho shape the Democrats desire 1t rs
expressed in their caucus.
The proceedings OF the senate to-day
have served to emphasize the attention
oil the Republican senators to exploit
every phase OF all the questions present.
ed III every paragraph and OF the Dem
ocrats to permit the Republicans to
consume tho greater part OF the time
that is to be devoted to tho talking.
1t was noticeable that the Democrats,
with the exception of Senator Mills.
stood by ths committee recommends
tions on all votes. Senators Hill and
lrby, concerning whose position there
has been speculation were absent, but
Senator Murphy, whose position has
been considered aomewha. doubtful,
stood with his party.
This practically solid vote on the
Democratic side has given the Republic
cans no little concern ~ they have been
hopeful OF creating division among tho
Democrats. Some OF them predict that
the cohesion so far displayed will not
continue, but tho best information OBJ
taiuable, Mt this time indicates that,
however unsatisfactory tho bill is to a
number OF the Democrats, 1t will con-
tinue for the present at least to receive
tho voting support OF all Democratic
senators, with possibly ono or two OK
ceptions.
Mr.. Harris, almost despaired OF max
ing progress with the tariff bill to-day
when Mr.. Quay introduced in the SEN
ate "a bill to establish code oi laws In
tho District OF Columbia" and asked
for ita reading in full which could
scarcely have been completed by the
end OF the legislative day. Democratic
senators objected, Mr.. Vest saying tho
evident purpose Of Mr.. Quay was to de-
lay, the tariff bill.
The District OF Columbia bill was re-
turned to Mr.. Quay, who intimated that
he might bring it up again tomorrow.
Mr.. A lon tried in vain to obtain con.
sideration for his Coxey resolution and
after very brief consideration OF Mr..
Peder's industrial resolution, the senate
resumed consideration Of the tariff bill.

Tho speculation in grain has again

tors and asking for bounty or
higher duty or tho defeat Of tho Wilson
bill, but the conservative men among
the planters, now largely in the major
ity, intimate to-day that such resolu-
tions will bo defeated and that the con-
vention will contine itselt to the adop.
tion Of a respectful memorial addressed
to Congress asking for adequate protec-
ton for sugar.
Resolutions were adopted declaring
that the sugar schedule OF the senate
finance committee fixing tho duty on
raw sugar at 40 per cent advalorem Is
inadequate protection to tho home pro-
ducer.
Tho sugar tariff was Instituted in the
beginning OF the government and was
continued from that day up to 1890,
when the Mckinley bounty law went
into operation, the bounty being sup
posed to take the place OF the duty thou
prevailing. although the bounty itself
was reduction OF the rate OF tho tariff
law ut that time.
That under the influence OF that
bounty the sugar industry OF Louisiana
has been increased in three years from
10000 tons to $4,000 tons.
That il tho present law be abrocated
and the duty adopted. tho sugar in.
dustry will be practically destroyed.
