AGAIN CONFER ON I
STATEHOOD |. /. BILL
SENATE PERMITS WITHDRAWAL
OF TIE REPORT.

Washington, Juno 1S.-In the SEN
ate Tuesday, Senator Bsveridge sought
to withdraw the conference report on
the statehood bill so that the con-
ferees might take UP the compromise
agreed upon Monday, but the request
was opposed by Senator Blackburn,
who made the point OF order that a
conference report being the property Of
the two houses of congress, cannot be
withdrawn except by unanimous con-
sent. Senator Carter replied that tech
nically the report In this case had not
been presented to the house. He con-
tended that under the practice of the
senate a conference report could be
withdrawn at any time previous to ac-
ton by the senate. He took issue with
statement by Senator Blackburn that
the report is the joint property of both
houses, saying that the papers are all
in the senate, ana the matter has not
been presented to the house.
Senators Lodge and Foraker took
the position that upon objection to
the withdrawal of a report such per-
mission can only be granted by vote
of the senate.
Leave to Withdraw Granted.
Senator Beveridge thereupon moved
that leave be granted to withdraw the
report, and this was carried without
division. He then formally withdrew
the report, thus taking the bill back
to conference.
Conferees on the bill met Informally
later and agreed upon the new report
to be made In accordance with the
compromise plan in regard to Arizona
and New Mexico. In view of some dis
satisfaction among the Democrats in
the senate 1t was thought best not to
bring in a report until Wednesday In
the meantime efforts are being made
to pIacate the Democrats in order to
avoid reopening discussion of the
statehood question.
Rate Bill In Conference.
The railroad rate bill was sent to
conference, 1S4 to SO, and Messrs
Hepburn Ia), Sherman IN. " and
Richardson (Ala.) were appointed con-
ferees on the part of the house.
The TiIiman bill prohibiting oorpor-
ations from making campaign con-
tributions under penalty of a fine,
which the senate passed, was received
by the house and referred to the COM
mittee on election of president, vice
president and members OF congress.

COAL COMPANY is
/ ALLOWED EXTRAS
SECURES $4,000 PER MONTH
y FOR ALLIED SERVICE.
RAILROAD DOES THE WORK
Crews of Pennsylvania Perform Labor
for Which Berwind- White Con-
Germ Settles at the Rate Of
A @ $7oo Monthly.

Philadelphia, June 13.-The Ber-
wind-White Coal Mining company was
the issue before the interstate COM
merce commission when It resumed its
investigation Tuesday into the rela-
tons Of railroads to coal and oil inter-
ests.
Probably the most important fact
brought out was that the coal COM
pany is allowed seven cents a ton By
the railroad company for handling its
cars on the HarsimH pier. This al
lowance gives the coal company about
$4,000 month for this service. The
work is performed, however, by Penn
sylyania railroad crews with railroad
locomotives for which the coal COM
pany makes monthly settlements with
the railroad. the amount of the month
~ bill being something over $500.
Simply Guess at Weight.
Charles Heebner, counsel for the
Berwind-White company, aroused the
!, ire of the commissioners when he told
them coal loaded into the bunkers of
steamships was paid for by estimated
weight and that there was no way Of
determining the quantity of coal that
remained In barge when the steam
ship did not take the entire load.
Commissioner Cockrcil suggested
that counsel was evasive which Mr..
Heebner Indignantly denied.
I'VE have nothing to eVade," he de-
clared, "but don't know how you
are going to find out what you are try
tng to learn, because we have no way
of knowing 1t ourselves"
''Well, we will stagger along the
best we can" was Commissioner Glenn
ents comment
~ Company Gets Cars.
It developed through the testimony
of Frederick MacOwen, treasurer Of
the company, that during period
iwhep cars were scarce e. ]. Berwind
made arrangements with the Pennsyl-
vania railroad by which his company
secured 1000 individual cars. several
hundred CT which had been in the
service of the railroad.
Mr.. MacOwen detailed the history of
the Berwind- White company and ex-
plaihed the lease of Harsimus pier.
Allow Claims for Delay.
r. L. Franklin, assistant freight
agent Of the Pennsylvania railroad, was
one of the witnesses. Through him it
was shown that out of seven claims for
coal lost in transit, four made by
Weston, Dodson & Co. were not grant
ed and three made by the Keystone
Coal and Coke company were allowed.
The Keystone company's claims
were allowed for delay en- route, Mr..
Franklin said. But while there might
have been delay In the case of the
other claims it was likely that they
occurred at destination for which the
consignee was probably responsible.

DEMOCRACY ONLY
HOPE FOR LABOR
General Organizer Brickell Points Out the Reasons
Why the Workingman Who IntelIigentIy Seeks
to Secure Benefits of Legislation Cannot Con-
sistently Do Otherwise Than Give His Hearty
Support to the Only Party That May Be Trusted

ests OF organized labor and for the direct
object OF bidding for the position and its
creation.
THE American Federation OF Labor has
regretted that with so many organizers
here Il was forced 10 send men from 9TH
er sections and other duties here 10 create
favorOble conditions for the working
people which local organizers have failed
and neglected 10 accomplish.
The Democratic reform movement has
given ample recognition TO labor at this
time. since there are two representative
labor men on the ticket
There is in the present Democratic
campaign an opportunity for the working
people OF the state 10 support the can
didates and the platform OF the only
party committed 10 the enactment OF leg
lslation that for years the working people
have had no means of securing, except by
resorting 10 strikes with all their abhor-
ent results.
1T is better for the workingman 10 Sc
cure the legislation which is favorable
10 his interests through the ballot box
than by the now primitive method OF
strikes.
For that reason the Democratic, or
Good Government party commends Itself
I'm this campaign To the support of all
workingmen, whether organized or other
wise"

Will give some idea OF the extent OF the
growth.
