The contention Of the Socialists that
the rate of wages is kept above the

colleague, MCLaurin. In brief, he
charged that his vote in support OF the

MCLaurin was not in the chamber at
the time, being engaged in committee
work, but he was sent for, and appear.
ed just as Tillman concluded his
speech. Pale as ashes, McLaurin rose
to address the Senate, speaking to a
question of personal privilege. He re.
viewed Tillman's charges briefly. and
then denounced the statement made
by his colleague as a "willful, mali.
cious and deliberate lie."
Scarcely had the words fallen from
his lips when Tillman, sitting few
seats from him, with Teller of Colo.
RADIO between them. sprang at him
McLaurin, who had half turned toward
Tillman. met him half way, and in an
instant these two Senators. having
swept Teller aside, were engaged in q
rough and tumble fight. McLaurin re
ceived a heavy blow on the forehead
while Tillman got punch on the nose
which brought blood.
