Report Of New Contracts
Makes workmsn Happy


South Bethlehem, Feb. s.-The news
contained in dispatches from New York
that Charles M. Schwab had sailed for
Europe to secure armor plate contracts
from the Russian Government, Is glad
news to hundreds of workman employed
in the armor plate department of the
local company.
While this department is still work.
ing on this Governments orders, it Is
not being operated with full force,
and soon 1t was feared would have to
cut down its present force if new or
ders were not received. The capacity
of the local armor plate department is
far greater than the present orders re-
ceived from the Government can keen
it going, but the Midvale Company has
been forced at times to have the Beth.
lehem company aid in fulfilling its con-
tracts and this has been also a big fac
tor in keeping the local plants in opera
ton.
But now that there are visions of big
contracts from the Russian Government
decidedly better feeling has again
been aroused among the workmen and
local business circles.
While the Bethlehem Steel Company
does not employ a majority of its men
in it's armor plant there would be little
difference felt if it should shut down.

BETTER PREACHER
THAN PRESIDENT
Mr.. Leake DenOunGeS Bryan and
His Methods.
HAS STOLEN THE BIG STICK
Aud Now Roosevelt is Using the Big Slip
Per-Speaker Thinks American People
Need No Spanking from the President

Washington, Feb. 10.-Debate on the
Indian appropriation bill was resumed
in the House of Representatives today.
At the very outset politics was injected
into the proceedings when Mr.. Leake,
a Democrat of New Jersey, denounced
William ]. Bryan and his methods.
Mr.. Leake said he had been surprised
at the usurpation of the prerogatives of
the delegates to the Denver convention
next July. There were some men, he
charged, who believed that this was the
time and the House of Representatives
the place to nominate a candidate on
the Democratic ticket, ''and," he said,
"unless my silence might be construed
as an endorsement Of the nomination of
William ]. Bryan, rise for the purpose
of making the protest.
"If," proceeded Mr.. Leake, 'T adopt
ed the example of Mr.. Bryan, 1 would
vehemently condemn him, as he did the
distinguished Democrat, the Hon. Gro
yer Cleveland" But he would, he said,
content himself with admitting that Mr.
Bryan was honest, consistent and sim
cere. He declared, however, that ''Mr.
Bryan's familiarity with the decalogue
better qualified him for the pulpit than
the Presidency"
IS CRUCIFYING DEMOCRACY.
''He has taken the big stick from the
President of the United States, and to
$50 b;c o,,y,, c;,,,;Ia be 10 -ox,v ,r,,c;fv;1cr
the principles of Democracy and Ameri-
can individuality and ambition on the
cross of socialism. The President thus
being deprived of his big stick, Mr..
Leake declared, had resorted to the big
slipper.
Mr.. Leake expressed the opinion that
the American people did not need spank
ing from the President, nor a scolding
from Mr.. Bryan. He thought the health
of the American community was such
that doctor was needed, and he hoped
that either of the two great political
parties would get one and that in his
administration of the remedies for the
care of the many ills, he would not for
get when men condemn the American
railroads, that the American railroad
system was one of the greatest in the
world and that American business men
and American enterprises were the best
on earth.
Mr.. Leake expressed the hope that
one of the two political parties would
nominate "a specialist in statesman
Ship"
''Wil the gentleman name the doc
tor7' interjected Mr.. Gaines, Of Ten
nessee.
81 do not propose to name the doc
tor" Mr.. Leake replied. 81 think that
is the privilege of the delegates to the
Chicago and Denver conventions.
