Security Trusts
And Trust Contractors

WASHINGTON, May Sin the river
and harbor bill. now in conference be-
tween the two branches Of Congress, IS
a short iunocent-iooking paragraph
that is causing mre trouble than the
biggest appropriation In the bin. 1t
provides that the Secretary OF War
may require contractors for river and
barber Improvements TO furnish bonds
for the faithful performance of the
work by surety companies that Lave
qualified according to the require
ments of Congress.
The statement has been made to the
conferrees that certain big contractors
for river and harbor y ork and some of
the dig surety companies have formed
b combination to cont oil all this class
OF work in which there is a large
profit.
Here is how the scheme Is to pc
worked: A contractor not in the
trust goes to the surety company AMI
says he intends to bid for certain
work He is asked by the compa ay S
representative what amount he will
bid He will demand why the COM
pany wants to know, The reply will
De IUdJ inc tOiipduA tluSL hbON' lOi
fear he will name a price so low that
he can notfulfll his contract, and that
consequently the company will be
called on to pay the bond.
If the would-be contractor declines
to disclose his business secret to the
company, and goes to some other COM
pany, he will meet the same question.
He will be compelled to disclose his
bid in order to secure the necessary
bond.
Ii the company kept the ecret no
narm would be done. But, it is
tharged, the company does not keep
the secret II the non-trust con-
tractor bids ten cents foot for the
work. the company sendsfor one o. the
| trust contractors and tells him that
| an independent is going to bid GER
tain GGule.
Thereupon the trust contractor bids
rine and seven -eighths cents foot,
mere fraction below the unfortunate
non-trust contractor, and, being tht
Lowest bidder. gets the work. This, i
charged, will be the procedure al
along the line.
A vigorous fight is being mad
against this clause in the conference
committee. with fair prospect o
putting it out of the bill.

BILL HIS ENEMIES
The Republican Leaders Working
Hard to Defeat 1t, But q Ma
joritu OF the House Are
Probably Favorable.

WASHINGTON. .. C., May s.
The Statehood bill holds the boards IN
the House of Representatives today.
A vote will be taken before adjourn
ment today. and while the friends OF
the omnibus bill feel certain of a ma
iority. there Is no doubt that the yigor
OF the opposition is causing them some
nervousness.
The Republican leaders are fighting
the measure hard and bringing all the
pressure possible on the rank and fle
OF the party to vote against 1t. Speak
er Henderson has openly worked
against the bill, and has made per-
sonal appeals to members known to ne
doubtful to vote against 1t. Payne,
/ Dalzer and the other Republicans in
althority. who enjoy the confidence
o. the Speaker. and formulate the
PARTY policy. have been pleading with
the Republicans to cast united party
vote against the bill.
There are no indications, however.
that a breach has been made any
where In the solid wall of the bills

There was no preliminary business
taken up when the House met, and Mr..
Knox called up the omnibus State
hood bill An agreement was made
that the general debate should close at
o'clock.
Mr.. Moon. of Tennessee. the ranking
Democratic member OF the committee
on Territories, got the floor and made
an exhaustive and able argument In
favor of the admission OF the three

that 1t was but simple act OF justice
to the people residing In the Terri
tories, who were as much entitled to
all the privileges of American citizen
ship as the people of the older states.
He reviewed the conditions in the Ter
ritories, and PROVED that in resources
and population they were fairly en-
titled to be made States.
Grosvenor of Ohio. one of the Re-
publican leaders on the floor, and
often the official spokesman of the ma
iority party. antagonized the bill. He
appealed to the Republicans to defeat
it. and made no bones of insisting that
| it should be done In the interest of the
! Eepublican party. He insisted.that the
/ fact that 1t was an omnibus bill, In
which the strong could carry the weak.
was proof positive that it was not an
/ honest bill, and that some Of the Ter
ritorics could not stand the ordeal or
close scrutiny. He insinuated that he
would be willing to admit Oklahoma.
Tut that he was unalterably opposed to
letting in Arizona and New Mexico.
Grosvenor taunted Knox, the chair
mar OF the committee. with being hood
winred and bumfuZzled by the Demo-
crats. Fl esaid that the claim OF Knox
that the bill was non-pplitical was abb
s,rd. and contradicted all the facts
of history.
Giosvenor cracked the party whip
sharply, but he seemingly made no Inn
preston on those Republicans who
had pledged themselves to support the
bill Grosvenor was still speaking at
a !atc hour in the eevning, and 1t was
arranged by the friends OF the bill that
