The subcommittee was given further
charge Of the bill with the instructions
to prepare certain amendments to that
part of the bill pertaining to the widen
ing Of the Benning road. One Of these
was made necessary by the inadvert-
ence of the House in using language in
the bill that made no legal appropria-
ton OF money. The other related TO
disposal OF a strip of ground within the
limits Of the road as proposed to widen
it belonging to a street railway COM
pany.

and many point to the sacrilege as one
Of the baneful influences Of Sefatorial

HIGH LIGHTS ON BRYAF,s
LABOR SPEECH IN CHICAGO.

The first thing that is needed for a
better understanding of labor questions
is the recognition of equal rights to all
and second, more intimate acquaintance
"A long step toward the elevation of
labor to its proper position in the ma
tons deliberations is to be found in the
establishment of department of labor,
with a cabinet officer at its head. The
wage earners deserve this recognition and
the executive is entitled to the assistance
which such an official could render him."
THE labor organization has been seri-
ously handicapped by the fact that it
has been-and l am not sure that it has
been done unwittingly-yo up with the
industrial combinations known as trusts"
The laboring man is justified in his
demand that distinction shall be drawn
between the labor organization and the
industrial monopoly"
The trust is combination of dollars,
the labor organization is an association
of human beings"
IF the labor organization needs to be
regulated by law, let it be regulated by =
law which deals with man as man and
not by law that was aimed to prevent
the cornering of commodity, or the fore
stalling of the market
1.-The labor question, as It presents itself
at this time, is chiefly question of dis
tribution and the legislation asked for is
legislation which will secure to each that
to which his services entitle him"
