Labor Agitators MeddIine
Washington, March 24.-The pro-
tests Of southern cotton manufacturers
against the interference of congress
in regulating labor contracts was the
feature today in the hearing on the
eight-hour bill before the senate com"
mittee on education and labor. Jack
j. Spalding, of Atlanta, Ca, asserted
that the southern manufacturer does
not need the help of congress when
that help consists of embarrassment
and Encouragement to the manufac-
turers in their efforts to obtain per-
centage of the foreign trade, hame-
stringing them and setting barriers in
the way Of their progress in the inter
est of labor agitators and against the
interest of the workingmen and wo
men,
Chairman McComas asked il it is
not fact that the southern manufac>
turers are a unit in protesting against
legislation of any kind. Mr.. Spald-
ing said the manufacturers had vol
UNFAIRLY adopted regulations more Sc
we're than any legislation that had
ever been proposed in Georgia and
that SO far as child labor was con-
cerned, the young boys and girls that
are employed are minding machines
where they can play half the time.
He declared also that rs per cent of
the mills maintain schools and free
books equal to the state schools and
that it was part of the regulations
that the boys and girls should attend
schools in certain number of months
each year.

Witnesses Testify that the RiaIto Co.
Gave Him Money.
st. Louis, March 24.-The first wit
| ness in today's session of the trialSof
United States Senator Burton of Kan
sas, charged with having illegally ac-
| cepted fees from the Rialto Grain and
Securities company, was Joseph Carr,
who was clerk in the employ Of the
Rialto company.
On March 26, 1903, witness drew a
check for $500 in favor of Burton,
cashed it and handed five $100 bills
to Vice President w. d. Mahoney, in
whose room Burton was sitting. The
check was offered in evidence.
Vice President Mahoney testified
that on March 26, 1903, he handed
Burton $500. On Dec 5, 1902, in the
Willard hotel in Washington, witness
was present when President Dennis
showed Burton copy of an indict-
ment returned against Dennis by the
federal grand jury. Discussion of the
indictment continued several days, re-
sulting in the decision that there was
not much danger to Dennis in the in
dictment, but because of Senator Bur-
toms position, it was deemed best for
him not to appear as general counsel
in defense of Dennis.
On March 25, 1908, in the Rialto
building, when Mahoney paid Burton
the $500, he and Burton discussed the
advisability of Burton still remaining
in the employ of the Rialto company.
Burton said if the Rialto company
had any letters from him it would be
just as well to destroy them as, ow-
ing to his position, his motives might
be miscOnstrued.
Witness said he (Mahoney) Burton S
Witnesse said he (Mahoney) there
upon told Burton he had two of his
letters in his desk, and destroyed them
by tearing them up. One Of the let
ters destroyed, witness stated, relat-
ed to telegram sent by Burton to the
