Washington, Jan. S0-What is con.
sidered strike at the railroads was
taken by the house in the adoption Of
a resolution calling on the president
to furnish information as to the ex-
istence of an alleged agreement in vio-
lation of the interstate commerce law
between the Pennsylvania, Baltimore
& Ohio Norfolk & Western, Chesa-
peake & Ohio. Northern Central and
the Philadelphia, Baltimore & Wash
ington Railroad companies. Opposition
to the resolution did not develop until
after it had been declared adopted by
the speaker. At this point Mr.. Dalzell,
of Pennsylvania, moved against it with
a motion to reconsider. This motion
was laid on the table with the aid of
81 Republican votes united with the
Democrats, which makes it impossible
to reconsider the resolution without
two-thirds vote of the house.

perhaps you think it impossible
that a mans soul should entirely
shrivel up in the pursuit of wealth"
said Mr.. Forgan. "If you knew some
millionaires as well as l know them,
you would agree with me that they had
lost the last vestige Of the souls they
may be presumed to have possessed

possessed them. would nike to acquire

clerk who faithfully had served him
80 years. The man who wrote the let

letter, after disposing Of several mat

employe incidentally, and directed that
the exact date of the severance Of his
connection with the office because of
his last illness be ascertained, the ex-
act amount due him for the fraction of
the month he had worked be figured up
and a check for the amount be mailed

TRYING TO HIDE
BEHIND GARFIELD
Neat Packers Claim They Were
Promised Immunity.
PRODUCED SECRET BOOKS

Chicago, Jan. 31.-Edward Morris
vice president of the FairbaRk Can.
ming company, and of Nelson Morris &
Co. testified in the meat packers i'm
munity plea case that he had been re-
auired by Commissioner Of Corpora
tions Garfield to produce for the in
speetion of the commissioner the Sc
cret profit and loss books OF his com
pany, after the commissioner had pre-
pared a report on the beef industry
Norris declared that Commissioner
Garfield had taken these books and
had inspected them.
Morris told of receiving assurance
from Commissioner Garfield that no
knowledge furnished by the packers
to the department of commerce and
labor would be used against them. Mr..
Norris told him he gave the informa-
tion to Commissioner Garfield and his
representatives, and then declared
that Commissioner Garfield returned
TO Chicago with the greater part of
his reportin proofs, which he sub
mitted to Mr.. Morris. The witness said
that he read the proofs and told Mr..
Garfield that the report was correct.
The commissioner then, the witness
asserted. demanded that the profit and
loss books of the company be brought
to the down town office of Morris &
Co. for his inspection. They were
brought, and the commissioner looked
them over. The statement that the
commissioner had called for the secret
books after completing his report
caused a stir in court, but the witness
insisted that he was required" by
Commissioner Garfield to submit the
books to him.
The other witnesses of the day were
L. C. Krauthoff, Samuel McROberts,
treasurer Of Armour & Co, and
Charles G. Dawes, formerly comp
troller Of the treasury, and now presi-
dent OF the Central Trust company, Of
Chicago. Both Mr.. Dawes and Mr.. Nc
Roberts insisted that they had heard
Commissioner Garfield declare that
any information he might procure from
the packers would not be used against
them In court.
