Speaker Reed, in reply, expressed ap-
probation of the moderate and reasonable
attitude of the laboripg men. The labor
organizations. he said, were necessary
concomitant of the factory system.
While in the old days laborers have been
individually indepetent, the growth Of
the factory system having forced them to
organize for the preservation of their
rights and interests. He believed that Ie-
suits beneficial to humanity were coming
from those organizations. While reforms
of the class they spoke OF, moved slowly
they did move. Public sentiments was
now much more tolerant OF the eight
hour law than it had been ten years ago.
He could remember when every laboring
man was expected to work twelve hours.
Public sentiment had much to do with
the enforcement of the eight hour law,
and he had no doubt that under it's i'm
pulse:condi5ions were continually i'm
proving.
Referring to Congressional action, the
Speaker said that only one thing could be
done at a time, and he was certain all
would agree that the first thing to be
done by Congress now was to arrive at a
decision on the pending tariff bill, one
way or the other. He hoped the delega-
tion would use its influence to mould
public sentiment to ask for as speedy

tained. 1t was not thought Test for the
House to deal with other matters until
that question was out of the way because
any action taken here might complicats
and delay action on the tariff, which all
must conce lie to be necessary. The tariff
question once disposed of there would be
opportunity for consideration of the other
interests asking legislation. AS to the
speoial request for the appointment of
Mr.. Gardner, the Speaker said that
would he taken under consideration as
ali requests for committee assignments
were.
In response to the complaint that Con-
ersss had not done enough for labor. Mr..
Reed said that remonstrants had been re.
ceived by him complaining that Con-
gress mad been too much under tie
dominion of the Federation of Labor.
This fact would illustrate that there were
conflicting ideas in the country.
In conclusion, Mr.. Reed expressed ap-
proval of the policy adopted by the Fed
GRAFTON. A continual and constant pres
sure within tue law was much more
effective in securin. reforms than violent
methods, he said. Violence always
brought reaction and tie reforms
sought were likely to be lost in the tur-
mOil of the outbreak.

Newspapers Criticize Severely the Cam
paign In India.

Allahabad, Dec. 23.-The Pioneer
publishes scathlng criticism of the
recent fighting on the Indian frontier
and says the operations have ruined
more than one reputation. The Pioneer
asserts that the officers have disap-
pointed expectations and calls upon the
COMMUNICATIVE chief to weed out those
who have signally failed to prove their
fitness to command or perform staff
duties. The paper asserts that the in
stances when the troops were well
handled have been few, while serious
blunders We're numerous and happy
go-lucky arrangements were the rule,
resulting in few hundred British
troops and Sepoys forming the rear
guard having again and again to fight
desperately to save their skins. while
within two or three miles thousands of
their comrades were doing absolutely
nothing"
The Pioneer says further:
THE whole campaign shows care
lessness and indifference for the safety
of the rear-guard and bad disposition
of the fighting strength. While the
fortified enclosures and homesteads of
the Unafridis have been destroyed, the
latter have had their revenge in the
actual conflicts"
