TEXT OF THE PROVISION.
Cochran of Missouri Declares 1t Goes Back
Six Centuries.

The full text of the provision was as
follows: That if any person shall, by
use of force. threats or intimidation,
prevent or endeavor to prevent any
person employed by another from con-
tinuinE or performing his work or from
accepting any new work or employ
ment. or if any person shall by the use
Of like means prevent or endeaVor to
prevent another from employing any
person or to compel another to employ
auy person. or to force or induce an
other TO alter his mode of carrying on
business or to limit or increase the
number of persons employed by him,
or their rate of wages or term of serv-
ice. such person, upon conviction there
of. shall be punished by Imprisonment
in the county Jail not less than one
month nor moAe than six months, or by
fine not less than twenty nor more than
$500"
Cochran Dem) of Missouri declared
that this section was analogous to
statutes which for six centuries had
been designed to secure the help of the
state in the suppression of the laborer.
If Alaska had a future, he said, it
must be by the development OF placer
mining. If gold mining thrived the
time would come when corporations
would seek to displace the laborer IN
their mines with cheap labor. Then
this statute would be invoked. No such
law should be grated on TO the statutes
of the United States
Gibson fRep.) of Tennessee said the
section afforded protection to labor. and
was in no wise inimical to organized
labor. McEwen CRep) of New jersey
warmly supported the amendment IF
congress must take a side in the battle
between capital and labor" said he.
in Gods name let il be on the side of
humanity and the workingman." War

Gated the adoption of the motion to

Brief Synopsis OF the Arguments Used
for and Against the Measure That Was
Rejected.

Washington. Jan. 6-The judiciary
committee had the right of way in the
house for three hours yesterday and
quite a number of bills of minor impor-
tance reported from the committee We're
passed. The remainder of the day was
occupied In continuing the considera-
ton of the bill to codify the laws of
Alaska. Some twenty-one pages were
disposed of, making eighty-three in all
of the 232 pages.
A section in the bill copied from the
statutes of Oregon, providing punish
ment by fine and Imprisonment of per-
sons who prevent or endeavor to pre-
vent employees from working aroused a
protracted debate on the ground that it
was an attack on organized labor. 1t
was finally stricken out.
List of Bills That Were Passed.
The following bills called up by the
judiciary committee were passed: To
provide additional circuit judges for the
Third and Sixth judicial districts. to
regulate the terms of court in the east
ern district Of Tennessee and the dis
trict of Butte. Mont; to retire Cassius
5. Foster United States district judge
of Kansas: to amend the revised stat
utes so as TO allow the United States
five peremptory challenges in criminal
cases: to permit shipowners to file in
demnity bonds: to allow legally ap-
pointed guardians of insane persons to
prosecute patent claims and to release
the International Cotton Press COM
pany. of New Orleans. from liability for
So, ,4S9 of internal revenue taxes.
Debate on the Labor Clause.
The debate on the labor clause of the
Alaska bill was begun when Bell Pop)
of Colorado moved to strike out section
146 which provided that any person
who should by force, threat or intim-
idation prevent or endeavor to prevent
any person employed by another from
continuing work should upon convic-
tion be subject to punishment by
fine and Imprisonment. He declared
that the proposed section was an as
sault upon the liberty of the citizen. 1t
was in reality u. law to prevent strikes
and was q blow at organized labor.
Maddox Dem) of Georgia. and Lewis
Dem) of Washington took similar
ground in favor of the motion to strike
out.
Tongue tRep) of Oregon defended the
provision which he said had been taken
from the statutes of Oregon and there
had never been an intimation there that

Col. Osgood Tells the Origin of the Story
An Inventors Experiment.
General Beaver said: "Col--el Os-
good. 1t has been alleged lbe.-Ie this
commission-not in sworn testimony
and not in way, perhaps, to demand
any great attention-but still 1t has
been stated that beef sent to Santiago
| was prepared in. some way with chem
icals to preserve it. Can you tell us
anything on that head, or why any one
should use chemicals on meat when it
was apparently so easy to preserve it
in refrigerators?
Yes, an tell you a good deal about
that" said Colonel Osgood. THE meat
treated in that way was not the prop
erty of the government or of any of our
contractors. L was aboard the ComaI
one day, and Colonel Weston chief
commissary, showed me four quarters
of beef hanging in the sun which he said
was process beef 1t was prepared at
the request of an inventor named Pow
ell, who claimed that he had discovered
a chemical preparation that would keen
meat in a hot climate without ice. 1t
was purely a private experiment. and
was not issued to the troops.
Il looked at it and 1t seemed to be
perfectly good. There was 70 ..-old on |
it as on the refrigerator beef, and it had |
tasted some of it. So far as 1 know he |
was the only officer who tested it," |
Witness did not say what Colonel wes-
ton thought of the process beef He |
continued: "I think Colonel Daily saw
this meat. and probaly the fact that
this beef was there gave the start to all
this talk of chemically prepared, beef.
1t was purely private experiment and
the government had nothing to do with
it,"
In connection with Colonel Osgood's
explanation of the process beef ex-
pertinent it can be stated that the in
ventor of the chemical preservative
brought the matter to the attention of
the war department before the out
break of the Spanish war and offered
to sell the formula and process to the
government. 1t was considered by the
general, the secretary and
