SENATE WRANGLES
OVER GERMAN PAPER
Printing of Document Con
corning Foreign Labor
h. Starts Lively Debate.

The question Of publishing a certain
document sent by the German govern
ment to the State Department and con-
tanning statements Of various German
manufacturers as 10 the wages paid in
various industries in that country
stirred up all sorts of specialization in
the Senate today. For two hours the
Senators wrangled over this document
and the proposition of having it printed
In the end, II was ordered that it be
printed as soon as it can be translated.
In TIE discussion. the debate ranged
al the way from international relations
between this country and Germany 10
the cost Of making razors there
The course of this particular dOcu-
ment has been mysterious. AT least. it
appears that way TO good many Sena-
tors. Senator Stone OF Missouri brought
the matter up first in his speech yesteT-
day afternoon, in which he charged
Aldrich with suppressing the informa-
zion contained in the document. Sew
eraI days ago Senator La Toilette got
q resolution through calling for the
paper. This brought forth letter from
Huntington Wilson, Assistant Secretary
OF State. 20 the effect the Finance Com
mittee had the document and that it
had been sent to that body for its in
formation. This morning, when Sena-
tors fell to talking. it was discovered
that IL had found its elusive way out
OF the hands Of the Finance Committee
and was headed once more for the
State Department.
Sent To Senate.
Later, after the debate had been long
and animated, the document was sent
back TO the Senate by the President
and the messenger arrived at the Capt.
toi with it just after the Senators had
disposed Of no end of time.
Senator Nelson of Minnesota stirrc6
the question up this morning by askiEs
that the document be translated and
printed. To this La Toilette offered the
suggestion that a brief abstract be
printed. He pointed out that to delay
until a translation of the whole could
be made might deprive the Senate of in
formation II needed for weeks.
Senator Aldrich took the ground that
il was confidential. and that while the
German government had transmitted
st. he did not think it ought tc be pub
lished
Simply Compilation.
Senator Depew said the document was
simply a compilation of statements of
firms. and was an effort on the part Of
German concerns to diseredit their
American rivals He thought it could
have no value whatever
we will all know lot more about
this document when il reaches the Sen
ate. said La Toilette sarcastically. Il
venture TO say that il came through the
German ambassador to the State De-
paTtment 1 believe that any infOTma
ton the Finance Committee has in its
possession should be IN the hands Of the
