Child and Woman Labor.

Representative Crumpacker had a
conference with the President on the
proposed investigation Of child and
woman labor conditions in the United
States which inquiry was authorized
by Congress. The bill provides that
the investigation shall he made by
the Secretary of Commerce and La
Dor, which means that the work must
be done by Commissioner Neill, Of the
Bureau of Labor, who was also in
consultation with the President.
The President finds one thing in tie
bill not entirely to his liking, in that
the investigation shall be made by
employees of the government appint-
ed under Civil Service laws and reg
ulations. just why this clause was
put in the bill is not known, unless
it was the intention of Congress to
put stop to the appointment by the
President of special agents and cons
missioners, such as cid duty IN the
beef and other Investigations. Con-
gress has gotten heartily tired Of so
many of these appointments, it was
stated. However, the investigation
will be made when the machinery for
conducting it has been arranged.

Standards Of Pure Food.

Controversy over the question Of
food standards is pointing clearly to
the probability that there will be a
prolonged contest on this subject dur
ing the coming year, and that there
will be earnest effort to discredit, or
show to be illegal, the food standards
which the Department of Agriculture
has already passed and proclaimed.
The success of certain interests III
securing the elimination from the ag-
ricultural bill of the department $
power to make further standards will
embolden those who have been work
ing against the present mode of adj
ministering the food law to empha-
size their attack on the standards al
ready created. There have been init
nations of an intention to pursue
such course. It is undoubtedly q
fact that from now on attention will
be concentrated on the standards thus
far promulgated, and upon their eff
fort in securing the purity of the pro-
ducts to which they relate as sell as
upon abstract legality of the stand
ards.

Ship Subsidy.

Though defeated by Congress on
the ship subsidy proposition, the
President is not cast down, for he has
intimated to a number of people that
he proposes to push the fight again
next winter.
Talking with Representative Hum
phrey, of Washington, one of the
strongest advocates in the House Of
subventions, he said that when ne
goes into the Middle West for few
days in May and June he proposes
to have something to say in favor of
subsidy if he has al opportunity to
do so. The President is scheduled for
a speech at Indianapolis Memorial
Day, on the occasion of the unvell-
ing of a monument to General Lawton
and on May 81 he is to talk to the
students Of the Michigan Agriculta-
raj College at Lansing. He has not
accepted any other invitations, but
he may do SO that he may have an
opportunity to give his ship views. It
was from the Middle West that most
of the Republican votes in the House
against such subsidy was cast.

Agreement Reached.

Washngton.-Dr. C. II. Iron, presi-
dent Of the Louisiana Board of Health
and secretary W S Ingram have been
in conference with Surgeon General
Walter Wyman and other Treasury
officials on quarantine matters affect
ing the control Of the State station
at the mouth Of the Mississippi River
There have been pending a PROPOSE
ton from the Government to take
over the station on payment of $751;
600 to the State of Louisiana. This
did not seem altogether fair to the
State Board of Health, and after con-
sidering that the sale of the self-sup
porting station would leave other nom
supporting stations on their hands,
the members of the Board laid the mat
ter before Governor Blanchard, and
President Irion Ingram to endeavor
to get better tearms.
DIR. Wyman and DR.. Irion have re-
ached a satisfactory agreement, which
in general is that the Federal Govern
ment also will look after the other
stations in question and save Louis
lana the expense.
DR. Iron, without going into details,
said that he considered the proposed
arrangement entirely fair and salts
factory to the State of Louisiana.

Lumber Trust roiled.

Lumber Trust Foiled.
The President by adding 100000
acres to the forest reserve just on the
eve Of the final enactment Of law,
which deprived him Of the power,
has thrown down the gauntlet to a
gigantic trust and insured a battle in
the next Congress which, in the esti-
nation of leading men in Congress, is
likely to shake to. its foundations
the entire forest reserve policy Of the
government. The determined and
desperate fight in the senate, which
was led by Senators Hepburn and
Fulton in the session just closed, is
too recent to have been forgotten, and
it was as result of their efforts that
the Fulton amendment was added to
the agricultural appropriation bill.
The effect of that amendment was to
prohibit THE extension of forest re-
serves in the six states Of Washing
ton, Montana, Oregon, Wyoming, Ida
no and Colorado, except by an act OF
Congress. Within the limits of these
states are 100000 acres of forest
land, either more or less heavily tim
bered now or useles for agriculture.
bered now or useless for agriculture.
entry. 1t was the purpose of the adj
ministration to purpue the customary
policy of creating forest reserves, and
as soon as a preliminary survey IF
mlnistration to pursue the customary
the Withdrawn area had been COM
pleted to proclaim the boundaries Of
OF forest reserves. Some of the
area had been withdrawn as
long ago as 1905, and others
parts down to within a few months.
Most of the land is we'll timbered,
and the prospect that it would be
removed forever from their grasp
drove the members of the lumber
trust almost to desperation.
Had the western senators had their
way the whole service would have
been crippled by the elimination Of
the appropriation necessary for its
creditable administration, but Senator
Spooner led the fight in support Of
the administration and Senator De-
pew introduced an amendment appro-
prlating 81 100000 for administration
and improvements, and so the day
was temporarily saved, although ii
became necessary to accept the Fulton
amendment to end the filibuster on
the appropriation bill. When the
amendment was adopted it was sup
posed that the President had been
circumvented, that the lumber trusts
would be able to acquire the 17,000,-
900 acres which it coveted. But once
more President Roosevelt proved toe
resourceful for the corporate inter-
ests. just before signing the agricul-
tural bid containing the Fulton
amendment, the President signed the
proclamation making forest reserves
out Of the 100000 acres which had
been previously withdrawn from en-
try.
In the estimation of the members
of Congress familiar with the situa-
ton, the President has removed the
100000 acres Of timber land from
the coyetous grasp of the trust, and
next year the trust will seek to wreak
its vengeance on the President. It is
declared by some conservative men
that the President has done a bold
and manly act, but hazardous one.
