CHICAGO MAN NOT MOss-covEREp
Hasn't Had Time tn Learn to Love the In
crtia Of the senate.


Washington. April 22.-Senator Ma
son. Of Illinois. made his maiden speech
in the senate yesterday and signalixed
1t by some breezy criticism on the rules
Of the senate. 1t was such q variation
from the prosy debate of recent DAYS
that the senator was accorded close at
tention, and twice received the hearty
applause of crowded galleries. The
speech was in support of a resolution
introduced by the Illinois senator di-
recting the committee on rules to report
a rule by which debate could be closed
and the previous question ordered. In
this connection Mason sarcastically re-
ferred to the inaction of the senate on
all great questions before 1t; the long
and fruitless debate on Cuba; the delay
Of the arbitration treaty. and the in.
ability to say whether our difficulties
are to be settled by arbitration or by the
methods OF Corbett and Fitxsimmons.
1t was time. he said. to send the senate
into dry dock and rid II Of accumulated
barnacles.

CATION from the American Federation of
Labor. headed by Samuel Gompers the
chief officer OF the order, called They
presented memorial asking the ap-
pointment of Representative Gardner,
Of New Jersey. to the committee on la
bor. and also suggested amendments to
the cight-hour laws. Gompers said
there was great distress throughout the
country and many unemployed. and
expressed hope that congress would
do all in its power to alleviate the dis
tress. He remarked that there had not
been as much legislation in the interest
OF labor by the last congress as the la
boring men wished. They regretted that
the eight-hour law was not more strict
ly enforced in It's application to govern
ment works. They desired 1t to be un-
derstood. however, that they were an
tagonistic to revolutionary leaders and
believe in lawful and orderly agitation
and In the improvement Of existing con-
ditions by legislation.
Force Of Public Opinion.
Speaker Reed in reply expressed ap-
probation Of the moderate and reason
able attitude of the laboring men. The
labor organization, he said, was a neces-
sary concomitant of the factory system.
While In the old days laborers had been
individually Independent the growth of
the factory system had forced them to
organize for the preservation of their
rights and interests. He believed that
results beneficial to humanity were COM
ing from those organizations. While
reforms Of the class they spoke Of moved
slowly, they did move. Public senti-
ment was now much more tolerant of
the eighthour law than 1t 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 its impulse conditions were
continually improving.
Reed Prefers Little REQUEST
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 decision on the pending tariff bill,
one way or another. He hoped the del
egation would use its influence to mold
public sentiment to ask for as speedy
action on the tariff bill as could he OBJ
tained. II was not thought best for the
house to deal with other matters until
that question was out of the way, be-
cause any action taken here might COM
plicate and delay action on the tariff,
which all must concede to be necessary.
The tariff question once disposed Of
there would be opportunity for consid-

of Figueroa or Alvarado streets, to con-
meet with the northwestern entrance of

donate land for the purpose, making the

ter in hand consisting of w. B. Wiltshire,
