Bill Made a Continuing Order
in the House.
OPENING THE DEBATE
LABOR ORGANIZATIONS SAID TO
BE OPPOSED. e..
Senator Tillman Resumes His Attack
on the Administrations
the Attorney General.

Without preliminary business the House
of Representatives today resumed the con-
sideratfon OF the army appropriation bill
without further amendment the bill was
passed.
Mr.. Dalzell pa. from the committee on
rules, then presented a special rule to make
the Senate department of commerce bill a
continuing order until disposed Of, not to
interfere with appropriation bills or other
privileged reports. The rule was adopted
and under it's terms the House proceeded to
the consideration of the measure.
Mr. Mann Qll.) made the opening argu-
ment in support of the measure. it having
been arranged that Mr.. Hepburn Qowa
should control the time for and Mr.. Rich
ardsof (Ala.) against the bill.
Mr. Mann made an urgent plea for the
creation of the new department of insur-
ance and corporations provided in the bill.
Mr.. Richardson (Ala) opposed the bill.
principally upon the ground that the inter-
ests and welfare of the laborfng classes
would not be st1bserved by the transfer of
the bureau Of labor to the new department

THE SENATE.

The Senate today passed the resolution
introduced by Mr.. Hoar yesterday calling
the President to inform the Senate what
government is now existing In the Island
of Guam and asking why Mabini Is de-
tained In that island. 49, - =
The Vest resolution regarding the re-
moval of. the duty on coal was taken Up
andsMr. TfIlman resumed hts remarks. He
declared that the railroads are absolutely
in the saddle on the coal question. They
mine and market coal and fix the price, he
charged, without regard to solitary IN
dependent operator He said 1t was an
infamy the way the press Of the country
was lending itself to befudde the minds OF
the people and deceive them into the idea
that the railroads are willing and anxious
to relieve the distress occasioned by the
coal famine, but that somebody, somewhere
called an independent operator, is response
BILE for the present condition of affairs.
The President deserves no credit, sa ID he,
except for his attempt to effect settle
ment of the question, but the actual fact
is he added, that ]. Pierpont Morgan
gave orders to his co-conspirators or serv-
ants to attempt the arrangement between
the monopoly and strikers" The Attorney
General had been, he said. derelict and
criminal and he Is the man to whom the
people can point and say, You have muir
dered all those who have frozen to death
You are the man who deserves the oppro-
brium and hate of the poor and oppressed
of this land"
In the course of his remarks Mr. Tilman
stated after being closely questioned by
Mr.. Spooner, that w. r. Hearst had
charged that the United States district at
torney of New York had received orders
from the Attorney General not to submit
his report Of his investigation regarding
trusts.
To his mind, he said. a case had been
made and the evidence and facts have been
unanswered. The law, he said, was too
plain for any one to dispute it.
Mr. Beveridge Qnd) took exception to a
statement by Mr.. Tillman which he thought
tmpugned the motive of Judge Woods in
Replying. Mr.. Tillman said Judge Woods
went far beyond anythings ever contem-
plated by any American judge
'Why," he inquired. ARE j. PierpOnt
Morgan or his co-onspirators any more i'm
mune from the proceedings OF our courts Of
justice than Eugene Debs?"
Mr.. Morgan, he said, had such sanctity
thrown around him on account OF his vast
wealth that to imprison him would cause
the stars to get out of their course or the
sun to stand still. He had, he said, brought
in the Presidents name because he is the
boss" of Knox, and IL Mr.. Knox is re-
sponsible he either has misled the President
or somebody else has mised him, but pri
marty Mr.. Knox Is responsible for lack of
action in regard to trusts.
Upon the conclusion of Mr.. Tillman's re-
marks Mr.. Spooner stated that several sem
ators desired to speak on the resolution and
asked that 1t go over, which was agreed
to.
The statehood bill then was taken up and
Mr. Foraker (Ohio) spoke in favor of the
omnibus bill, granting statehood to Okla
homa, Arizona and New Mexico

from what was known as coal-shippinG
point.
He suggested that this condition indicated
collision on the part of the coal shippers
and the railroads.
Senator Stewart ordered that Mr.. Legge
Of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany be called before the committee to ex-
plain this discrepancy.
Cost Of Coal by Bushel.
Mr.. w. c. Haskell. sealer Of weights and
measures for the District of Columbia, APP
peared and testified In regard to the weigh!
of buShel of coal and Its cost to the poor.
He said that hard coal would weigh fifty
eight pounds to the bushel when struck
that Is, measured level to the top of the
measure, and sixty-eight pounds when
heaped.
The law was deficient in Indicating that
all coal measured should be heaped, but he
took the ground that coal measure meant
coal heaped instead of being struck. He
said that coal at 80, cents bushel heaped
would cost 1916 ton, and when struck
would cost $3.50 At 40 cents bushel it
would cost $12.13 when heaped and $14.2O
a ton when struck.
He showed that there was great differ
ence in the weight of q busheI Of coal &C.
cording to the kind of COAL :.
He proposed to suggest law requiring
the heaping of coal in measures in the Dis
trict as Is done in the case of vegeta bies.
A Correspondent Heard.
;, Mr., Robert L. o. Brien, correspondent Of
the Boston Transcript. who has lately spent
considerable time in the anthracite region
OF Pennsylvania, was then called to the
stand, his name having been suggested to
the committee by DR.. Day of the geological
survey.
Mr.. O'Brien said that the general man.
ager, of the Philadelphia. and Reading Coal
Company told him that there were three
classes Of preferred clients to whom the
company sold coal before supplying Boston
and Washington. First. the engines Of the
railroad. which must be supplied with coal
that usually is stored in the summer, but
which was not stored last year; the trade
of the towns along the lines of the road
which have no other source of supply, and
third. the cities of Philadelphia and New
York. where more intimate relations are
held with the retail trade.
He thought that the independent opera
tiers charge what they can get for their Goa
and that the retailers are getting excessive
prices for the coal which they obtain from
the Philadelphia and Reading.
Profit on Georges Creek Coal.
Mr.. C. NJ. Wilson testified to having pur
chased 100 tons of Georges creek coal al
Cumberland. at $3.50, upon which. he paid
go freight, making the coal cost IS. 10
mis- :ceal was for private consumption. -
Senator Stewart said it had. been testified
that the city government had paid 50 fol
Georges Creek coal. - E't-e.@
THAT dealer said Senator Stewart, sis
making big profit. He is not asleep by
any means, and he will get rich surely
