ing the usual accumulat tion of resolutions
reported from local unions.
A resolution against Frank Sargent 8

Ing 1t to the twentieth, the Alabama dis
trict. The Tennessee miners complain that
they have not been able to get their share

Alabama district the conditions are more
favorable. They have had discouraging
conditions for three years In the Tracy City
and Whitwill mines, and do not see any re-
lief unless they are placed in the strong
Alabama district. They say that financial
relief will not do; that only strong dis
trict to enforce their demands on the opera
tors for better conditions can do any good
The matter was referred to the executive
committee after much discussion.

ton and Tennessee in the term OF a supple
mental letter to Secretary Mooay in sup
port of the protest of theseompany against
the award Of the contract 10 Cramp & Sons.
This letter is in part as foilnws: Z
The attempted offer otsthe 1Cfamp COM
pany to substitute BabcockAnd wpllcocx boil

$s,OOO,OOO. is a violation % thesconditions
under which we were inseted to bid. and
would be, II considered, Hsnewsabid The
changing Of the plans to seemet,ze contract
under the low bid Is practically the same as
changing the price for the government plans
to $4,OOO,OOO. To allow the substitution Of
plans and prices would be grossly unjust to
the lowest bidder. because it would permit
OF an unralr practice Of putting In all sorts
OF alternating bids to test the position OF
bona noe bidder following the require
ments and conditions. and would ultimately
become source OF much embarrassment to
the government itself in reaching hs de-

DISCUSSED IN COMMITTEE.
Considering Antitrust Bills at Both
Ends Of the Capitol.

Consideration Of the subcommittee anti
trust bill. described in another column, was
begun by the judiciary committee of the
House this morning. The reading Of the
bill was not completed at the morning ses-
sion. and after recess until o'clock the
measure was taken up again.
So far as the reading had progressed no
changes had been made The committee
secured consent to sit during the session
and continued consideration of the bill.
The Elkins antitrust bill was partially
considered today by the Senate committee
on interstate commerce and an adjournment
was taken until Monday for further consid-
Grafton. The purpose of the bin was COM
mended in general terms, but some doubt
was expressed as to whether if it should
become law it would be more effective
than the existing interstate commerce law.
The section relating to rebates received es-
pecial consideration and several senators
expressed the desire to obtain legislation on
that point which would be effective.
