SO IS THE MAXIMUM
PHONE RENTAL,
Mr.. HANNA MAY MAKE
0VERTURES TO Mr.. BURTON
Expected That Senator May Make a
Proposition Acceptable to the
Representative.

Representative Burton spent yester-
day in waiting for information from
Cleveland. but received little. except
that contained in the press dispatches.
Toward evening the situation resolved
itself into one where nothing could be
done until Mr.. Hanna reaches Wash
ington this morning. Mr.. Burton will
visit to Cleveland. and the decision
which he has reached.
In spite of the assurances received
from Cleveland and the rumor which
was persistently circulated about tie
Capitol yesterday that Mr.. Burton would
assent to the proposition that he should
have a separate committee 10 manage
his campaign in his district, there seems
to be no reason to believe that the situ-
alton has changed in the least, and 1t
is very doubtful IL Mr.. Burton will con-
sent to any such arrangement
Aside from the fact that the mainte-
nance of a separate campaign commit
tee would prove a very expensive I'M
dertaking. and one with which Mr.. Bur-
ton has already had experience, a con-
hict could scarcely be avoided between
the county committee and the Congress
sional district committee.
1t has been suggested that Mr.. Burton
should have thrown himself upon the
hands Of the county committee ard have
placed upon that organization the re-
sDonsibility of electing him, Gn the
ground that he was the candidate OF the
Republican party, and that Il defeat
would have reflected upon the commit
tee more than upon the candidate. In
view Of his statement that unless con-
ditions were changed he would with
draw. this action on his part is made
- broad proposition it may be
stated that unless Mr.. Abel resigns from
the craftsmanship of the county commit
tee Mr.. Burton will withdraw from the
ticket. and the issue is thus sharply de-
fined. 1t is possible that Senator Hanna
may have some compromise proposition
to present to Mr.. Burton today, which
may be acceptable to Mr. Burton. but
If so. no one in Washington Knows what
Il IS
Mr.. Burton has no objection to Mr.
Abel personally. but he does object to
his being placed at the head of The
committee by a combination of Federal
1fticeholders in opposition to the wishes
Of the candidate.

STEEL WORKERS SAY
THEY WERE DISCHARGED
Heard Mr.. Gompers Advo-
cate Eight-Hour Day.
Attended Mass Meeting and Lost Jobs
Negotiations Pending With Western
and Southern Manufacturers.

Now that the session is drawing to
close. labor leaders are making de-
termined effort to furnish all the testi-
mony possible in support of the eight
hour bill, at present being considered
by the Senate Committee on Education
and Labor.
When the committee met yesterday
Mr.. Gompers, president of the Fedora
tion of Labor. told Chairman McComas
that it YVES difficult to bring laboring men
tefore the committee to testify in sup
port of the bill, but that he had sue
appear.
1t was stated by two of the witnesses,
William Robertson. of Allentown, Pa,
and Thomas H. Flynn, of Pittsburg, that
the Bethlehem Steel Company discharg-
ed thrty-seven of their men last March
for attending mass meeting at South
Bethlehem, addressed by Mr.. Gompers on
the subject of an eight-hour day.
Discharged for This Cause.
Robertson contended that he was dis
charged by the foreman of the Bethle-
hem Works for this cause, although the
reason given was lack of work.
Flynn, who Investigated the affair for
the labor unions, said that a Mr.. Hege-
lush, stenograTher to one of the officer:
of the Bethlehem Company, attended the
meeting and took down the names of
all the employees of the Bethlehem
Works who were present.
Mr.. J. H. Hayden, representing the
Cramps. the Carnegie. and the Bethle-
hem interests. cross-examined Flynn
closely, and finally ELECTED from him the
fact that altogether 200 men employed
by the Bethlehem Works were among
Mr.. Gompers' audience.
Under the circumstances, said SEN
ator Harris of Kansas Il think 1t emf
rcntly proper that the stenog:apher
should be summoned before the COM
inittee, so We can have the real facts
H. the case.
Stenographer to Be Sent For.
Senator McComas said that he thought
this was very good idea and ordered
that it be done.
NJ. NJ. Garland, at present surveyor OF
the port at Pittsburg, and who for man,
years has figured prominently in labor
circles, informed the committee that az
present negotiations were pending be
tween number of manufacturers in the
West and South. and their employees as
to the adoption of an eight-hour day.
Mr.. Garland :aid that the affair would
be settled in very short time, and in
answer to 4 question from Senator Har
ris said that under the contracts drawn
the men would not be permitted 10 work
more than eigh. hours day.
DO l understand" questioned the
senator, that eight hours will be COM
pulsory, and that man shall not bs
permitted 20 work overtime?"
Garland caid that such was the Ian
Guage of the contracts.
