FREE SPEECH UPHELD
Trans-Mississippi Congress Con.
cludes That Oratory Is
Not Action.
THURBERs SPEECH NOT ExPUNeED
Several Delegates, Withdraws
His Motion.

st. Paul, Aug. 22.-After some pre-
liminary routine business yesterday
morning the Trans-Mississippi Com
mercial congress took up the special
order fixed Wednesday and William
Henry Eustis, of Minneapolis, opened
the disussiOn in support OF his motion
to eXpunge from the records of the
congress the address of Il. Il. Thurber,
of New York, who had declared that
there was no such thing as Il meat
trust. Eustis charged that the so
called trust was seeking to use this
commercial congress for its own ends.
He did not think the money of this
organization should be spent TO circu-
late the specious arguments of any
trust. w. IL. TOrbett, of Dubuque,
followed on the same side, as also did
Zachary, of Louisiana.
o<gues for Courtesy to Speakers.
a. G. Lewis, of Oklahama, thought
the address should be printed for the
sake of completeness of record, but
that such publication did not commit
the congress to the ideas of Thurber.
He argued for courtesy 10 the speak
erS of the congress, and insisted that
the opinions of the congress should be
voiced through the resolutions, and
that none should fear the addresses
here delivered. Rufus y. HOyt, of
Minnesota, supported the resolution to
eXpunge.
They Speak for Free Speech.
Thurber replied to EustiS, explaining
that he was here as one interested in
the objects of this congress. He said
that he was personally interested in
cattle raising, and his paper was in
tended to give his honest views on the
meat industry. He argued for free
speech, insisting that the opinion or
the congress should be expressed by
the resolutions, and that no members
opinion ought to be suppressed. Il. X.
Moses. of Kansas City, argued for free
thought, asserting that such PROPOSE
ton as that now before the congress
had never before been presented in the
entire history Of the organization.
Not Bound by the OratOry.
Tom Richardson, of New Orleans,
drew the distinction that the speeches
are part of the proceedings of the com
greSS, but We're not the opinions of the
congress. Walter Gresham, of Texas,
opposed the resolution. EuStiS said
that in the interest OF harmony and be-
cause this discussion had exploded any
harm that might have resulted from the
address in question, he would with
draw his motion TO eXpunge. PrOfes-
sOr n. L. Hanson. of Brokings, :. d.,
