REACTION CHECKED
n the Stock Market Yesterday But
Dealings Lacked Animation
Close Was Steady.

New York, Feb 15.-There was
little animation in the dealings in the
stock market today but decided head
way was made in the price movement
against The reactionary tendency
which developed yesterday. The first
tone of the money market was prac-
tically ignored owing TO the supposi-
ton that the lightness of call loans
was due 10 temporary causes and that
forces Of relief would come into play
New York banks today tulnde over
10 the subtreasury some $4,000
being the remainder Of deposits made
with the banks in December. Interior
banks have drawn on their New York
only to a small extent
to meet these payments, higher rates
for call loan here acting as dis
suasjve influence on any reduc ion Of
New York accounts. Repression of az
tiyity in the market is believed t. be
due in part to the desire to await
the adjournment of congress before
entering upon extensive market com
mittments. Not only were dealings
held in moderate bounds today but
price movements of any consequence
were restricted to a comparatively
few stocks. The sharp advances in
Missouri, Kansas and Texas and St.
Louis Southwestern, preferred, were
unexplained by any deals Realizing
sales impaired the best prices of the
LAY but the closing tone was steady.

LABOR HOURS BILL
DECLARED VICIOUS
Measure Amended Too Much
in House, Claim of
Labor Men.

Study by competent authorities Of the
lours-of-service bill that was reported
10 the House by the Interstate and For
eign Commerce Committee today leaves
little room for doubt that it Is a much
weaker measure than that which passed
the Senate nearly six weeks ago.
The House committee has spent the
interval 'perfecting" the measure. and.
according 10 the friends of the Iegisla-
ton, has succeeded admirably in per
fecting' it into a form highly salts
factory To the railroad lobby. which.
by the way, has probably been as big
and as insistent in connection with this
particular measure as it was on the
great railroad rate measure OF last ses-
sion.
The House committee reported the
bill by a strictly party vote, the Demo
Gratis making IL clear that they would
have minority measure which would
substantially, If not literally. follow the
Senate bill The representatives of or
ganized railroad labor frankly express
doubt whether they would prefer the
House committee bill TO no legislation
at all.
The House measure is declared by
NiANNN WIZ nave oluIltu IL 10 Dc a ulOSL
slillfully devised measure for doing one
thing while seeming 10 do another.
Thus. in the matter of the hours of
service, the Senate bill prohibited over
sixteen hours of work I'm a twenty-four-
hour period. The House bill makes a
INTERROGATION period the basis. and
is so arranged that man could be
worked tWenty-three hours. practically.
in a single period. provided there were
brief intervals of suspension from duty.
The word knowingly is written into
the bill, despite the determined protest
against 1t. This particular word is held
by constructors Of legislation to be the
most dangerous I'm the whole English
language In the present measure IL
is declared effectively 10 violate the
purpose Of the whole legislation. There
are a dozen of other grave defects.
Friends OF the legislation are confident
that the President Will take a hand be-
fore the House management is permitted
20 report the bill with a rule that will
prevent possibility Of amendment
