WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator

charges of speeuIatIng in sugar stocks.
etc.
The report takes strong position
against ordering the investigation, and
Is very exhaustive review of the pro-
cedure OF the senate In the past OF such
measures. The report takes the position
that aside from the names OF the news
paper men themselves only the name OF
Senator Smith, OF New Jersey is mem
toned in the newspapers making the
charges on which the resolution was
based The position is taken that the
newspaper men do not count "InaRmuch
as the gentlemen do not profess to write
from knowledge, and usually II not al
ways decline to disclose the sources OF
their information"
report says; Here Is a newspaper
charge made against n senator OF the
United States without any ayerment OF
personal knowledge on the part OF the
writer, and without the slightest particle
OF evidence to sustain it-not even as
much as would warrant Justice of the
peace In summoning witnesses to deter
mine the truth OF q complaint by one
citizen against another with reference to
the most trffiing incident OF every day
life. II Is the bold and naked assertion
" man who does not profess 10 pretend
10 have any knowledge whatever OF the
alleged fact OF which he writes.
on the other hand we have the definite,
explicit and absolute denial OF the charge
from the senator affected-a denial pub
licly made from his place in the senate,
upon the responsibility OF his position, as
a senator of the United States"
AS to the clause Of the resolution
which charges that "brokers in New
York knew in advance as to what the
finance committee would report az 10
"the sugar schedule" the committee say
they can find In the newspaper clippings
presented in support OF the proposed In-
quiry, nothing but indefinite illusions.
inslnuatlons, guesses and inferences
drawn by correspondents from heresay
statements, and the heresay sometimes
several degrees removed. Many OF their
expressions Indicate the nlmsIness OF the
foundation on which they have erected
this structure OF scandal"
The attack of one OF the correspondents
Is characterized as "a deliberate, unfair
and venomous determination TO, II pos
sible, bring upon the subcommittee OF
the finance committee the contempt OF
the country"

10 force the men TO quit work,
The miners leaders continue at work
In an effort TO get the miners In the Con-
neiisville coke region out, but dispatches
from Unlontown and Dunbar indicate
that they are meeting with poor success.
A uniontown dispatch says the leaders
are very much dlsheartened and admit
privately that they have failed TO create
any strike sympathy. The Redstone
miners, II Is claimed, will be back next
week.
Dunbar dispatches say there Is very
little probability that the coke region
will become factor in the strike.
The new state law to compel operators
10 weigh the coal before II Is screened
and to pay the miners on It's basis, Ia to
be tested to Its fullest extent. and tho
whole uniformity agreement hinges on
this test, A large number OF operatora
are putting In scales so as to weigh the
coal according to the new law, but 9th.
ers are preparing TO fight It. Among
the latter Is William P. De Armiti, who
says the law can be abrogated by the
right Of private contract and he intendi
10 try 1t by the contract he has with hia
men. Under this contract he agrees 10
pay his men "a cents per 1000 pounds Of
OF coal SCREENED over III inch screen with
nothing to be paid for coal dropping
through said screen. He claims the
miner has n right to mine coal to be paid
for after screening and that the operator
can also pay the miner In this fashion.
A member OF the arbitration commits
sion said tonight that the new anti
screening law would cut figure in the
new agreement and the law would be
thoroughly tested before It is incorpo-
ated In the agreement.
The arbltrators were Mt work among
the Pittsburgh operators to-day. and
they are trying every means TO bring
about meeting Of the operators. So
far they have been unsuccessful In ar
ranging for meeting. but 1t Is hoped to
accomplish this shortly Mayor Ford
said to-day that he had not consented
TO call meeting and that he would not
do so, although It had been suggested
to him that such q proceeding would be
the best thing to do under the circum-
stances.
