Precedent Shows That 1t is Not
Necessary to Send Cuban
Treaty to House.
LOWER BODY WILL HAVE VOICE.
When Reciprocity is Ratified by Sen.
ate the Preslden. viii Send Mes
sage TO Both Branches Asking for
Legislation to Make l. Operative.

Washington, Dec. 23-President
Roosevelt has let It be known that be-
fore he reached his decision to send
the Cuban reciprocity treaty to the
senate and not TO the house he con-
suited freely the leaders of the house
and the members Of the cabinet.
After mature consideration 1t was de-
termined that 1t was unnecessary to
send the Cuban treaty to the house.
Notwithstanding the fact that 1t at.
fected revenues of the government.
Precedents were looked up carefully.
1t was found Tat previous reciprocity
treaties had been sent directly to the
senate for ratification. This was
notably true of the Newfoundland
treaty. which is regarded as being on
all fours with the Cuban treaty. No
objection ever was raised to the con.
sideration by the senate alone Of that
treaty.
II can be said to be the purpose OF
the president. when the Cuban treaty
shall have been ratified by the senate.
to send message to both branches
of congress with recommendation
for such enabling legislation as will
snake the treaty operative. This will
AFFORD the nouse fun opportunity. It is
expected, to stamp with its approval
and It's individuality the negotions for
reciprocity with Cuba.

McCammon's Plea.

Judge McCammon said that the spe-
cial evil OF the bin consisted first i'm the
clause that no laborer or mechanic
shall be permitted TO work more than
eight hours i'm any one calendar day"
He said this provision iuterfered with
the contracts for labor by manufacturers
engaged in private work. and was not a
proper subject OF legislation by Con-
gress' that its effect would De to pre-
vent laborer or mechanic from selling

opinions in order to show that the bill
was unconstitutional. and he called spe-

why a Penalty? ?"

In analyzing that clause in the bu
which penalties contractors for working
men on Government contracts more than
eight hours per day. Judge McCammou
said.
The question Of first Importance.
however. is why is a penalty imposed ?
lt "a prohibition is violated. certainly the
United states suffers no injury. The
violation by the contractor cannot be a
crime or misdomeauor. or. Of such. the
offender must be cCnstitutionally tried.
The laborer or mechanic so emploved
does not suffer injury because me has
either been adequately paid. OF. III not
adequately paid he has the right of ac-
tion against the employer"
In conclusion. Judge McCammon said.
The mere fact that II this bin should
become law it would De- declared nm
constitutional by the courts rs scarcely
an excuse for Congress TO pass IL. II is
true ihat Congress has passed acts which
subsequently have been declared invalid
by me supreme Court OF the United
States. but it must be assumed that i'm
no case has this been done where /. is
apparent on the face Of the act thar tho
