He was followed by Mr.. Allison, also a
member of the Conference Committee, who
said he commended and approved every
markable speech made in the other house at
the close Of the last session"
The conference: he declared. had been
conducted in good temper. The Senate COM
mittee never had sough, to go back of the
appropriation bill presented by the House
and inquire whether nny item In II was
passed by the ether house in violation of
its rules.

not in accord with the comfy between the
two houses. Speaking with emphasis and
with considerable Indignation. Mr.. Allison
said:

cedure of this body will be settled by the
body itself in accordance with Its own best
judgment"
He declared that If the deficiency bill had
failed 1t would not have been due to the
rules. but to the situation which was pre-
sented in the House. Therefore, what

time. II was because the House. for reasons
of its own. could not take the orderly and
usual proceeding and method of legislation
by taking these items into the House and
into the Senate. and having the judgment of
the two houses upon them.
VIOLATION OF RULES

The House conferees had sought to put
the blame the Senate rules which had
existed for hundred years. and If any
changes are made in those rules" added

to the noted speakers who were to fol-
low he made only a short talk but he
spoke straight to the point and made
an effective address. He said in part:
Il come to you not as an orator but
rs the representative of my craft. I
am not an agitator but an organizer.
Five years ago the Brick, Tile and
Terra Gotta workers knew nothing of
the benefits of organization today we
have a membership of $500. We have
taken for II example the matchless
organization OF the United Mine Work
ers of America. We consider them
the top notch in labor organization
and our aim and hope is to uccess
fully emulate the success which they
have accomplished"
Address by Edwin Perry.
Edwin Perry, president of District
No 13, United Mine Workers of
America, was next introduced, and
spoke in part as follows:
while a glowing tribute has been
paid to the organization to which 1 be-
long, you must pardon me if I point out
that there are some serious defects and
shortcomings in our very excellent Or
ganization. The labor question is a
complex one, and concerns every mem
Der of every labor organization.
Though the progress in the past few
years has been remarkable, 1 feel that
Ia crisis is approaching. But if every
member will guard every e n of ap-
|proach, | have no fear of the result.
Charged With Lawlessness.
"The trades organizations have been
charged with ~lawlessness and disregard
of the law. This is not true, for the
members of these organizations love
the law and order, respect themselves
and have respect for others. If the la
Dor problems are ever solved. it will
be through the united efforts of every
man and woman who works for a liv-
ing, and, consequently, one of the best
things that can be done is to harmonic
all working people.
