CHARGES NELL WITH

Of GOVT STATISTICS

Washington, Feb. IS. Charles
r. Dawley, Jr., a former special agent
of the Bureau of Labor, has preferred
charges against Charles P. Neill, COM
missioner of labor. "for gross incOm-
potency and official dishonesty in the
administration of the Bureau Of La
bor."
Dawley, who was separated from
the bureau in August last. has given
out a statement reciting his charges.
Dawley said in part: During my
connection with the bureau, statistical
data obtained in the field not only
has been changed at the direction OF
the officers. but actually has been
manufactured out of whole cloth ard
that with reference to the woman and
child labor investigation for which
congress appropriated 100000, was
biased and prejudiced, and Commits
sioner Neill deliberately and wilfully
set out to develop only such facts and
conditions as would support his pre-
conceived hypothesis that labor is
detrimental to some women and chill
dren engaged in it,
Dawley says that after he had been
assigned to Investigate conditions of
child labor in the cotton bills of the
south and was preparing his report.
Commissioner Neill endeavored to Gin
spire his report adversely to his find
ings.'

Stevenson Gets ''Tubby Bills"
0. K. on Labor Crushing Measure

Washington, Feb. 25.-Representa
tive STEVENSON of Minnesota, whose
bill giving discretionary power to the
government to put railroads in re-
ownership to avert tie-ups has receiv-
ed the tacit approval Of the Presi-
dent, is making many converts to his
proposed law in view of the recent
strike of the national railways OF
Mexico and the threat of the Ameri-
can railroad men that they would re-
fuse to handle Mexican freight on this
side of the border when the strike was
declared.
Stevenson is telling his colleagues
that President Taft has promised to
give his measure personal attention
and quotes the President as saying
that "the bill has profoundly inter-
ested me-"
1t will be remembered that the
Minnesota representative was most
urgent in pressing the claims of his
bill at the time when the st. Paul
strike was pending and now he points
with equal vehemence to the recent
crisis in Mexico, and what effect it
might have upon the country.
Without talking government own-
ership.' Representative Stevenson
asserts that some form of government
control should be adopted which
would as effectively control the power

most favorably impressed with the

must be provided by the present con-
gress.
T Attorney General Wickersham
formerly connected with national
railways of Mexico, is another friend
of Steenersons bill, but is understood
to favor something more In line with
what Mexico has accomplished in
railroad control rather than mere
temporary receiverships.

FOOD TRUST sW1NDLEs
PATRONS IN YORK STATE

New York, Feb. 25.-State superin-

Reichman says that, on putting up
package foods such as raisins, prunes
meats, cheese, cereals, crackers, bot
tied stuff, lard, exc, the packages
have been reduced in size to increase
profits. Here is Ills statement:
1T is interesting to notice the in
genuity displayed in avoiding any
statement of weight, MEASURE OF
count, and, by vagueness, % defeat
comparisons, as, for instance. modern
price lists compared to those before
1906. We read Of Jumbo size,' large

bottles, jars or boxes. The number.
ing of sizes also used, for instance, 2
No. 3, or 10 pail of lard does not

The remedy, he says, is to buy bulk
goods by the pound, and avoid pack
age foods. The price may be higher
but you know what you are buying
