MAIDEN SPEECH
OF Senator Meredith in Senate
Makes a Fine I'm
preston.
tBy charles Brooks smith.)

CHARLESTON, Jan. 27-Sepator
w. Scott Meredith, of Fairmont sat
quietly in his seat for thirteen days
before he arose and addressed the
senate. He didn't talk until It was
absolutely necessary ana his remarks
were in. line of explanation why the
senate committee on judiciary had re-
ported that senate bill! No. II do not
pass. Senator Meredith is chairman
OF the judiciary committee. The most
important and hardest working com
mittce OF the senate.
For thirteen days his coliehgups
have watched the distinguished, quiet
hammered. courteous Fatrmont man,
always at his desk ard always inter
ested in the proceedings and always
appearing at ease and as man dead
sure OF himself. If the interest
in him so noticeable on the part of
his colleagues was reciprocated he
gave no token OF it. But It may he
accepted az certain that he was
Weighing the abilities OF the various
senator's in the scales oc his equal
Judgment. and it is no. Indictment of
abnormal vanity to charge that lie
reached the decision that he was not
lost in the deep maze OF statesman
ship and believed himself capable of
holding his own. Senator Meredith's
first appearance on the floor of the
senate as n speaker made n decidedly
splendid impression. His address IS
pleasing. his manner easy, his words
well chosen and his presentation OF
facts and arguments clear He was
given rapt attention by the senators,
and the unfavorable report made by
his committee was sustained by a
large majority and No. n. relating
TO consideration by appellate courts Of
errors not referred 70 by counsel. was
rejected.
Those persons who had known the
Fairmont senator or had heard of his
ability as a lawyer. logician and
speaker ana were prepared for the
fine impression that his first appear
ance on the floor o. the senate would
make. were expecting the compli-
ments passed on him yesterday and
We're by no means surprised. sena-
tor Meredith from now on will. II he
so desires, WELD an influence in the
upper branch. and be a help to his
colleagues and to the best interests
Of the state, that no other senator will
surnass.

Select Committee Says His
Remarks Were Not AT
All Justified.
WILLETT INSISTS YET
But Report is So Strong
Against Him That His
Efforts Are Futile.

WASHINGTON. d. G., Jan. 27.-
Recommending that the speech de-
llyered in the House of Representa-
tiyes last week by Representative
Willett in which the President was
severely criticized, be expunged from
the Congressional Record, the special
committee appointed to consider the
speech submitted its report to the
House today. a letter written to the
committee by Willett. urging that his
speech should remain in the Record,
accompanied the report. declaring
that consideration of the speech in
question, involves consideration OF
what is an what is not orderly debate
in the House"
The committees report defines
what are privileges of the members
OF the House and the limitations OF
debate. Your committee carefully
considered the remarks by the gem
tleman from New York" continues
the report, and finds that his re-
marks concerning the President were
not justified by any consideration of
constitutional duties or powers OF the
House. that they transcribed the
proper limits or criticism in debate,
that they were destructive of that
courtesy, respect and dignity, which
ought to be preserved and that they
ought not TO remain in the prominent
official record of the proceedings in
the House"

OPPOSITION
To Lower Tariff There Will.
Be From Independent
Steel Men.

P1TTsBuRG, Pa, Jan. 27-The
presence Of a large number OF steel
men from Western Pennsylvania and
Eastern Ohio not allied with the Uni
ted States Steel Corporation gives
rise to various rumors concerning a
merger of independent interests. act
ion protesting against tariff reduction
and price cutting and price reduction.
But there is nothing to verify any Of
the rumors. That conference was
held seems certain but no Information
concerning 1t will be given ont by
any one present. That the independ-
ents are seeking merger anc general
price reduction in opposition to the
United States Steel Corporation is de-
nied by some manufacturers. Ii
seems reasonably certain from the
few iutimaions that were given. that
the purpose of the meeting was to
oppose any reduction on iron and
steel tariffs. Nothing Of an authora-
tive nature, however, could be learn
ed today.

WILL STAND FIRM
THE STRIKERS SAY
Relief Committee Receives
Money From Headquarters
and Men AT Work.


Window glass workers here who
are out on strike declare their
union organization is standing firm
and that they are in a position to
fight it out for long time yet. They
say they will continue on strike

organization and until the manufac-
turers adopt the wage scale for which
the strikers are contending.
A relief system has been establish
ed by the local union for aid of
strikers and the latter say 1t is work
ing very satisfactorily. Money for
relief OF the strikers is received from
two sources. The national organiza-
tion forwards a check to the local
union every Saturday and in addi-
tion to this, all of the union men who
are at work give portion of their
wages to the strikers relief fund.
Those of the strikers not in need OF
assistance give their allotment Of
money to those who do.
A special relief committee has
been formed, consisting of four men
from each factory, and this body at
tends to the distribution of the relief
fund and looks after the interests of
the strikers generally. Twelve mem
bers of this committee aye active
members. The committee is organ
lied with George Ernest, of the West
Fork factory as chairman: William
Rider, of the Tuna factory. treasurer.
and Frank Spires. of the Tuna fac
tory, secretary.
There Is practically no change IN
the strike situation, there having been
no new overtures for termination
of the strike for several davs.

Revival

number OF anxious souls were ON

the Lord and the interest has been
growing very rapidly since that time.
So far there have been about fifteen
persons professed saving faith in
Jesus Christ, mothers are praying

children praying for their parents,

We believe If we preachers would

preaching rhetoric and elocution as
we have been doing. we would see
men and women of every walk and
station in life coming to and accept

five believing children with Christ
in baptism. We pray thy kingdom
