IMPORTANT BlLL-FiNAL
VOTE ON JULY 25.

London. July 20.--Thc veto bill
passed It's third reading without di-
vision in the house of lords this even
ms
The third reading debate on the bill
was launched In the house of lords to-
day by Lord Morcly. who, while dis
associating the government from the
amendments introduced In the upper
house moved the adoption Of the meas
urc.
At Il meeting of insurgent peers
under the leadership of the Earl Of
Halisbury a little before the opening
of the session. a strong feeling was
expressed that I'm the event the house
of commons struck out the lords
amendments the upper chamber
should insist upon them even To the
extent of forcing the creation of II
host of new barons.
"The last dtchers" therefore have
not been separated yet. SO the real
crisis may s,iil arise on July % when
the bill us returned to the house Of
lords for final acceptance or rejec-
ton
Despite all the transformation which
the bill had undergone, LORD Morley,
said he hoped and believed 1t would
receive third reading.
Lord Morley concluded:
II would like to have this inevitable
parliamentary political operation car
ried through without anything like Il
social shock. / do not mean sup
erficial shock but a real wide-reach-
ing Shock
This was the only passage In Mr..
Morleys speech which could be con-
strued into reference to the possible
creation of peers.
Lord Lansdowne declared that some
amendments to the bill were so SEN
timental. In view of the opposition,
that they certainly would not be pre-
pared to recede therefrom I'm SUBJ
stance so long as they remained free
agents.

UTAH COAL KILLED
IN MARKET
DEALERS TESTIFY THAT RAIL.
ROADS KEPT PRODUCT OUT
OF COMPETITION.

Salt Lake, July 2O.-An unknown
quantity In the markets of northern
Idaho and the coast states Of the
northwest, Utah coal. though recog-
niZed by dealers as having excellent
storage qualities. was never quoted
and no rate for its shipment west of
Huntington. Ore, was ever made by
the railroads. Such was the testi-
mony offered at today's hearing before
the interstate commerce commissions
special examiner by witnesses from
Seattle and Spokane to support the
contention Of the independent coal
companies of Utah that they are being
kept out of the larger markets and
overcharged by the railroads handling
their output.
r. M. Hamilton, sales agent of
Seattle, informed the commission that
there would be a good market for
Utah coal in Oregon and eastern
Washington provided the railroads
would make reasonable rates. No coal
from Utah entered that territory at
present, he said.
He was followed on the stand by
lJames s. Ramage, representing the
Spokane Chamber of Commerce. The
witness said that he, too, was familiar
with conditions I'm the Pacific coast
markets and his views as to the ad-
vantage possible for Utah dealers
coincided with those of the Seattle
agent.
r.. A. Sweet, president of the Con-
solidated Fuel company, under cross
examination today. again declared that
his company had suffered losses by
reason of the failure of the railroads
| to furnish sufficient cars.
| A. ID. Looney of Payette, Idaho, APP
peared as representative OF the
Wright-W Lumber company, de-
clared that a dlfferential of rs cents
exists In favor Of coal shipments from
wyoming to Payette. as against the
Utah district. He had made applica-
ton to the Denver e. Rio Grande fol-
a rate on Utah coal, according tt
his testimony, but no reply was ever

Had Expected to Pay.

Wiehe knew nothing of Shields
political activities for the company,
but called attention repeatedly to the
statement that Shields got about 1000
out Of the Hines company as insurance
premiums. He said he expected to
pay Shields IL he presented IA bill
Wiche said he had Shields come to
Chicago about 10 days ago In order
to ask him If he had experienced
much trouble in locating the witnesses.
Wiehe denied that he wanted more
information as to what the men would
testify, because, he explained, he had
their affidavits. Wiehe said he could
not assist the committee in locating
Shields.
Attorney Hanecy, counsel for Senator
Lorlmer, objected to a published re-
port Of Yesterdays hearing, and had
the article read to the committee. He
contended that the witnesses should
be free from surroundings that might
influence them to tell anything more
or less than the truth. Senator
Kenyon asked how he would suggest
controlling comments on discrepancies
in the testimony of witnesses. The
attorney replied that he was referring
to newspaper assaults on witnesses.
Chairman Dillingham; announced the
committee would take the matter un-
der consideration.

Tom cnrra of Burke expressed him
self strongly In favor OF Il movement
that would put the Western Fedora
ton In the lead in the matter of ad-
vocating general strike. The speaker
said he would favor doubling, or even
more, the proposed assessment for the
benefit of the Mcnamara defense
fund.
Cannon Opposes
Joseph d. Cannon of Bisbee, Ariz.,
made strong appeal for an abandon
ment of the general strike move
ment. There is no general organ
ization of workingmen to enforce a
so-called general strike" declared he
emphatically "We are not In posi-
tion to handle such an undertaking.
1t is ridiculous for one-tenth of one
per cent of the laborers Of this coun-
try to attempt to dictate what the
remainder of the 3OOOO,OOO laborers in
this country shall do in this mat
ter. This proposition IL not seriously
meant by the men who propose it.
The only idea Is to get some cheap
newspaper advertising, by taking a
radical step. They want this organiza-
tion to do something that will put it
far In advance in the revolutionary
class. The men who propose this
measure want to brand the opponents
of 1t as being behind the times and
as being In the grandmother class
They realize even If they do not admit
1t, that here Is no more chance for
the enforcement Of general strike
in this country and Canada than there
is for the Western Federation at this
moment to take on wings and fly to
the moon.'
'All this talk about calling gen.
eral strike is cheap noise" declared
Delegate Guy Miller Of Webb City.
Mo. THE people who have made
similar noises on occasions In the past
are the last to go down in their
pockets and do something practical
and effective in the cause of labor
Such an expression would only make
| us ridiculous in the eyes of the great
| masses OF the people in this country
The advocates of this measure know
| as well as ! do that the railroads
and telegraphs cannot be tied up IN
this country. We want to keep within
the bounds of practicability II We
want to accomplish anything at all.

but his votes were for liberalization Of
schedules at all times, and his enemies
at home have always fought him for
being a tariff-for-revenue supporter, and
ne has always beaten them squarely on
that issue.
''Geogra phically, the committee is d.
vided ideally, we think: 1t has six
Northern and six Southern men, If you
count Missouri a Southern State. In
making up this list, Broussard, Pou,
and Brantley have been dropped from
the present membership of the commit
tee, because of their decided leanings
toward the protective policy, as concern
ing particular interests in their States.
The progressive Democrats are conf
dent that the Ways and Means Com
lnittee as thus constituted, will be en-
powered to name the house committees.
There has been discussion of three
plans, particularly of having the house
elect all committee chairmen, and then
having the chairmen constitute a COM
mittee on committees. This was dropped
because it was feared each chairman
would finally, in effect appoint his own
committee, and friendship would cut too
much figure.
To have the Rules Committee also a
committee on committees proved I'M
practicable, 1t is explained, because
Rules is not a big enough committee TO
satisfy it's members to forego any other
assignment. Consequently, Ways and
Means was picked as the one commit
tee big enough to satisfy its members
to give up all other committee opportu-
nities: and so it will be resolved, in the
caucus, that Ways and Means shall be
elected, shall constitute the committee
on committees. and its members shall

THAT is a question for experts, re-
sponded Captain Peary. -N
Asked to Explain Point.
Mr.. Roberts asked that Captain Peary
explain an alleged discrepancy between
his own account of his equipment and a
statement on the same subject made
before the committee by President
Gannett, of the National Geographical
Society. Captain Peary said he had not
read Mr. Gannett's statement. but be
lieved that any errors must have been
due to the fact that Mr.. Gannett had
forgotten the facts presented to the So
ciety by himself. Mr.. Butler and sew
eral other members of the committee
said the point was not material since
Captain Peary's word should be taken
in preference to that of Mr.. Gannett.
Mr. Roberts and Mr.. Macon protested
that the point was very material, since
Mr. Gannett was one of the scientists
who passed upon the Peary records and
decided that he had reached the pole.
The discussion was dropped, however
when Captain Peary informed the COM
mittee again about the size of his dog
teams, the number of his sledges, and
