Misquotes the Record Twice.

You have here misquoted the Rec
ord twice A bill to create Depart
ment of Labor and Commerce was nc
then under consideration. Phe b
under consideration was, "a bill to
create the Department of Commerce
The words Labor and" did not appear
in its title and hence there could prop
erly be no motion to strike from the ii.
tie words that were not in it. The mo
ton was to strike from the body oil
the bill the words Department of La
Dor and" 1t was made by Senator
Pettus in accordance with the clearly
expressed wishes of officials of great
and representative labor organizations,
and for this motion / cast my vote
aye. Congressional Record, Vol. 35,
page 1051).
The words in the body OF the bill in
this connection were:
That the Department of Labor, and
the office of Commissioner of Fish
and Fisheries, and all that pertains to
the same, be and the same hereby are,
placed under the jurisdiction and
made a part of the Department OF
Commerce"
The labor organizations were oppos.
ed to having then independent De
partment of Labor placed in and un.
der the jurisdiction of the Department
of Commerce. and Senator Pettus'
motion was to see that 1t would not
be so subordinated. The Department
of Labor, as 1t then existed, was a sep
arate and distinct department of the
Government and created upon the re-
quests of the great labor organizations
of the country, which hoped eventual.
ly to see it equipped with what 1t still
lacked, viz, the right for its secretary
to have place in the Presidents
Cabinet in order that the counsel OF
Labor might be heard upon all great
questions of law, equity and economics
in which labor has vital interests.

Would Yours Have Been Different

You have proclaimed that my votes
on some OF these propositions were
wholly wrong. Would yours have
been different? And would you have
been recorded in the Gold Standard
column?
Referring to the Congressional Rec.
ord (Vol. 80, page 1851 you say:
THAT the platform seeking to up
lift the condition of the American
workingman calls for the creation OF
a Department of Labor in charge OF a
Secretary with seat in the Cabinet,
while you, when the bill to create a
Department of Labor and Commerce
was under consideration, voted for an
amendment to strike from the title
(italics mine) the words labor and,
thus disregardipg the platform, and
especially the interests of the labor
ing people Of Florida"

The Delegation a Unit.

You say that have not gotten an
appropriation for any place or point
west of the St Johns River. By your
reading Of the record what hsYe got
The Palatka news and advertiser. [volume] (Palatka, Fla.) 1902-1905, 1904-03-18

ten east OF that river? say that The
work of the delegation is the work OF
a unit and is not bounded by nor
circumscribed in geographic lines OF
limits. say thatI assisted IN ge'
ting every appropriation west OF the
st. Johns River just as my colleagues
assisted in getting every appropria-
ton east of that river. 1t Is true
Won add, that you are not dealing WIN
what has been done by the Florida
delegation-that you are not candi-
date against the delegation. But lei
me tell you that the record of the del
egatiOn is one and inseparable. II
your system of reasoning be sound
then each Of us has done nothing, and,
# each of us has done nothing, then
how is it possible that all of us have
done anything? l will remind you
again that | have never claimed any
results whatsoever not associated
with the work of my colleagues and
you cannot credit the whole delega-
ton with the accomplishment of any
thing without giving due credit to
each member for his proportionate
part thereof
No member of the delegation has
ever complained that each and every
other member has failed to do his part
in any matter relating to the interests
OF the people of Florida, but, on the
other hand. we have all realized with
great satisfaction that we have work
ed in full accord and harmony in
obtaining results. No member of tine
delegation, who have labored with me
here, or rather with whom | have la
bored will sustain you in the asser'
ton that 1 have not done my full part
Why. therefore, should you complain!
Your reference to my interest in tn
First National Bank of Tampa would
seem to have no proper place in this
discussion, and yet, let me assure you,
there is nothing whatever about it to
be ashamed of or to conceal. The
United States statutes provide for the
establishment and regulation OF Ma
tional Banks and authorize the Secre.
tary OF the Treasury TO designate de-
pOsitories for Government money.
Years before | came to the Senate the
First National Bank OF Tampa was
designated one of these repositories
because it was located at a point
where the Government was collecting
and disbursing large sums of money,
and it was as much for the convent
ence of the Government as for the
bank. Since have been in the Sen;
ate the deposits have been increased
there just as they have been increas-
ed, as l understand, all over the .coun.
try. This was no privilege accorded
the bank because Of my connection
with it, nor was it any special source
of profit, for there has never been a
time in the history of the bank since
1t has been a depository that it has
not had more idle money than the to-
tai amount of the Government depos-
its. If you think that my sense OF
justice or conscientious regard for du-
ty would be warped by a connection
with a National Bank, you can east
ly disabuse your mind of that idea
by turning to Congressional Record,
Vol. 80, page 1888, where you
find my vote plainly recorded in favor
of abolishing the tax on State Banks
(See amendment that follows):
The Palatka news and advertiser. [volume] (Palatka, Fla.) 1902-1905, 1904-03-18
Voted to Abolish State Bank Tax.

Section g. That sections 3412 and
3413 and all other acts and parts OF
acts which impose any tax upon the
circulation OF State Banks or State
Banking Associations be, and the same
are hereby, repealed"
I voted for that amendment to the
financial bill.
How does that comport with your
charge, which you say you have made
publicly, that | have not, during my
Congressional service, attempted to
secure the enactment of any law on
this subject?
You were once prominently connect.

and surely you do not mean to say
that a connection of this Kind would

SUITS AGAINST BROKER
A. J. CUMMINGS DEFENDANT
IN FIVE ACTIONS SERIOUS
CHARGES ARE MADE.

AS result Of allegations embodied
in five suits, for various sums, aggre-
eating about twenty-four thousand dol
lars, A. J. Cummings, member of the
Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce, is
laboring under the charge of misappro-
-priating funds, and the further insinua-
tion Of having at one time carrieton a
"bucket shop" business, under the
guise Of a legitimate stock exchange
firm. Mr.. Cummings has not, yet
been heard in his defense. ".f
Meanwhile Mr.. Cummings, whose
headquarters are in St. Paul, has had
his bank accounts tied up at Owatonna,
Wabasha, Red Wing, st. Cloud, Mel
sofa towns, where he has been conduct
ing branch Offices.
George p: DeNeen, q prominent Mary
county, is plaintiff in the principal suit,
which is for recovery of $4,000, money
placed by him in the hands of Cummings
for, the purchase of Brooklyn Rapid
Transit, United States Steel, Amalga-
mated Copper and other stocks listed on
the New York exchange. ....
| If the allegations are true, Mr.. Cum
mings, instead Of purchasing these
stocks on the floor Of the New York
| stock exchange in the regular way, took
the risk himself, and "bucketed' the
trades, taking chances that the market
would work about in his favor. In
stead, however, the trend was against
him, and finding it impossible to make
good,4 the firm Of which he was then a
member, with an office at Pittsburg,
faded away. Only recently Mr.. De
Neen discovered that Cummings was es.
tablished in the northwest, and was a
member Of the Minneapolis Chamber of
Commerce. James E. DeNeen, brother
Of the sheriff, came on to Minneapolis
at once, and yesterday the suit was be
gun in the United States court at st
Paul.
Coincident with this are the suits OF
Henry H. Hartsock Of Cumberland, Nd.
and Of others living in Detroit and Bay
City, Mich, fled in the district court
of Ramsey county.
ALI these suits allege that the defal
cations or misrepresentation occurred
while Mr.. Cummings was a member Of
the firm of F. L. Camp & Co., whose
main quarters were in Buffalo and De
! troit and who operated branches a
