reached Utah and made a statement
in the newspapers. He denOunces US

Well we have our little frailties, and
one of them is a lack Of love for any
thing in the shape of trusts. If religion
was a trust we'd have the devil here

CHANGES IN B. R. |. & P. co,
Veterans Vote In Favor of Certain Changes In the Pension Laws of Aabama-Other Ems
 ley News.

Ensley, January 14-(Special 1.-The semi- monthly pay day at the steel plant has been arranged in such a manner as to greatly facilitate the handling of the large pay roll.
 It has been the custom to pay on the Saturday after the 1st and the 18th of each month. but the large increase in the number of employees has necessitated the change in the plan, and the new arrange ments will be very beneficial to the em- ployes.
 Saturday, the 19th under the old plan, would be the regular pay day for all de- partments, but the roll has been divided into three parts and the employees are to be paid as follows:
 On Thursday. the 17th, the men who are employed in the blooming mill and rail mill departments will be paid On Friday, the 18th, those departments that come under the head of mechanical, and on Saturday, the construction and general labor departments will receive their money
 It can readily be seen that this will not only be of great benefit to the clerical force in that a corps of men can be clos ing each separate roll, while heretofore It had to be closed as one, but it will do much toward relieving the congestion that is caused by the immense crowd of em- nloyes lining up on Saturdays for their money.
 There is no doubt but that all the em- ployes will be greatly pleased when the new system is begun, for it has long been their desire for some plan to be arranged whereby they would not have to line up and await their turn in such an immense crowd

gated the cause in advance. Assuming
 that the President had exercised power he possessed in discharging these sol
 diers, MT. Spooner denied that Congress had any constitutional power to set aside such an order. The power of the Presi- dent as commander-in- chief of the army and navy In time of peace was not defined by the constitution. Mir. Spooner quoted | judicial authorities to show that 1t was "the power to command and control" MT. Bacon remarked incidentally that in all his experience in the Senate he had never heard a doctrine advanced which he regarded as more dangerous than the suggestion that the President has any power in the use of the army that can not be controlled by the law-malling pow CT. Mir. Spooner at this point yielded the floor to adjournment not having finished his argument.
