ALAsKA's NEED OF CAPITAL

STEEL INQUIRY GOES ON
Stanley and Littleton Settle
Their Differences.

Washington. Dec g.-All differences OF
opinion between members OF the House
Committee OF inquiry into the United states
Steel Corporation were settled to-day at d
special meeting, and 1t was decided unant-
mously to continue the investigation IN
spite of the government suit against the
Steel Corporation not however, for the
purpose OF determining any questions in
volved in the suit, but to enable the COM
mittee to recommend legislation. Hearings
will be resumed Monday.
The meeting of the committee was har-
monious, Representative Littleton. who
raised the question of the propriety Of pro-
ceeding TO investigate matters covered in
the government suit agreeing with his
Democratic colleagues on the solution OF
the problem The committee will continue
the inquiry into the ore holdings and trans
portation facilities Of the Steel Corporatior
and It's effect on Independent ore holders
and shippers
The matter is settled Justly aud hsr
moniously." said Chairman Stanley to-
night
1t is a happy solution OF the difficulty
said Representative Littleton. 1T shows
that the committee has respect for the court
and the position of the executive depart
ment of the government which has broush
the suit against the corporation"

GOVERNMENT AND LABoR.-There is
evident a disposition TO attach too much
Importance TO the part the federal govern
noent is playing in the prosecution of the
perpetrators of the dynamiting outrages at
Los Angeles and elsewhere, and in some
quarters that part is wholly misconstrued.
These outrages are violations of the laws
of the states; they come within the purview
OF the police power OF the states, and IL is
not the purpose of the federal government
in the slightest degree TO encroach on the
domain of the states in that respect. In
connection with these cases and their
prosecution by the states, however. there
has come 10 the attention OF the Depart
ment Of Justice what looks like evidence
that the federal statutes designed TO pro-
tect the travelling public from the menace
Of high explosives transported without due
precautions have been violated. This made
necessary prompt and energetic action on
the part OF the Department of Justice 20
determine II such violation had occurred,
and how far hundreds, perhaps thousands,
OF innocent men and women had been
placed in positions of extreme jeopardy by
the reckless transportation of dynamite and
other explosives on passenger trains, Tin
suitcases and other receptacles. To that
end Oscar Lawler has been retained in Los
Angeles. and United States District Attor-
ney Miller has been instructed TO conduct
an investigation and procure such evidence
as may be available in Indianapolis. 1t Is
almost needless TO say that if the evidence

ARMY TO SUFFER--The draft OF the
army appropriation bill, on which hearings
will begin In the House committee on Mon
day. shows that Chairman Hay has received
orders to cut the army appropriation In
order TO make up some part OF the S4o'-
GOO 900 which the Democrats purpose to add
to the pension budget. The bill as drafted
abollshes all foreign service pay for officers
and soldiers, abolishcs the posts OF chief OF
coast artillery and chief of the division OF
militia and reduces the number Of major
generals from six TO five and the number OF
brigadier generak from fifteen TO twelve.
1t provides for the consolidation OF the
pay, subsistence and quartermaster's de-
partments In a single department, to be
known as the supply department; for the
consolidation of the adjutant generals and
the inspector generals departments in
bureau of the General Staff and reduces the
number of staff officers of the various
grades. The allowance of clothing for the
enlisted men, reduced only a short time
ago, is restored TO the former figures. All
further changes in the uniform are pro-
hibted except when authorized by statute.
OF course money cannot be saved In this
way except by a serious sacrifice Of the
efficiency Of the army, but, as in the case
OF the navy, the Democrats appear to be
blind TO any consideration OF the necessity
of a high state of efficiency for the ma
tional defence. There will be bitter oppos-
tion to the propositions contained in the
Hay bill, which is the most radical measure
proposed by the chairman Of a committee
for a long time but what the outcome will
be no one can foretell.

WOOL REPORT DELAYED
May Not Go to Congress Before
End of This Week.

Washington. Dec. 9-President Taft
probably will not he able to send the wool
report Of the Tariff Board to Congress until
the end of next week. In spite Of vigorous
efforts to rush the work that the Presi-
dent might have the report to-day, the task
is not completed. The boards summary Of
its Investigation, which will he a compre-
honsive digest Of the difference in the cost
of the production of wool in this country
and abroad, will probably be given to the
President on Wednesday The compilation
of the statistics will not he ready, however,
until near the close of the week
In order to avoid a deficiency in its ap-
preparation. the board has begun to reduce
its force. Practically the entire field force
which Investigated wool and about fifty
clerks have been discharged. After the
wool and cotton reports have been made, 1t
is estimated the board will have 100000 or
So 600 on hand January 1 for the second
half of the fiscal year Its total funds for
this year amounted 20 S27j,O00. The
amount on hand Will be applied to investi
eating the leather and metal schedules.

is OF a character to warrant a prosecution
such will be undertaken and pushed with
all necessary vigor. incidentally, it may
be said that the call of District Attorney
Mccormick, of Los Angeles, to-day had
nothing to do with such prosecutions. 1t is
only necessary to remember that the part
OF the government consists OF prosecuting
violations OF federal statutes, not of con-
Quoting any general prosecution of the
labor unions, to avoid being misled.
SOUTH IN ARMS.-It is interesting to
observe the enthusiasm with which the
proposition Of Senator Jonathan Bourne to
curtail the representation of the Southern
states in the national conventions has been
received by the national committeeman
from that section. Mr.. Bournes scheme
has proved itself a nifty little device for
Tallying the support Of. the Southern Re
publicans to the Bourne candidate, who Is.
ostensibly, La Toilette, although there is
some reason also to believe that it is
actually Bourne. The Southerners are so
delighted with the suggestion that they
have called a meeting of the Southern
members of the national committee for
Monday morning, when they hope TO nave
cooled off sufficiently to enable them to ex-
press their admiration for the proposition
in language which will be at least parlia-
mentary. Cecil Lyon, national committee
man from Texas and one of the wheel

was later of the Taft organization-al-

Thinks Many Heads Should Fall.

Il do not doubt the honesty and integrity
OF this body but have lost my respect for
its courage. There are lots OF you here VINO
are not willing To vote your honest convic-
tons for fear of defeat. I think decaplta-
ton for good many cowardly statesmen
here would do this republic good.
Presently We are going to have a good
deal Of flannel mouthed oratory on the tariff
question" said Mr.. Dies. Some OF our
vociferous leaders are going to talk about
free wool and lower taxes and lower tarifts.
Do they not know that In voting for this
bill 10 increase pensions from $20Ooo,OOo to
$50. 600. 600 a year they will vote for higher
tariffs? I have not much patience for our
fellows who are going to talk about lower
tariff after having voted for this bill"
Mr.. Dies added that he was a political
coward. like the balance Of you" but he ex-
pected somebody to arise some time brave
enough to risk his hide and stop some OF
this notorious legislation
1T may he President Taft" he added.
"He may veto the Sherwood bill. II so,

Representative Trbble. Of Georgia. also
a Democrat refused to yield to the plan of
the party leaders.
This House recently cut down expenses

Gus act of the Democratic organization was
heralded all over the country and the peo-
pie approved it. Yet. now, six months after
that time still preaching retrenchment and
reform. we come and offer to the people
dose in one bill 81 s600OO,O00. If some
fnancer in this House will explain how you

planned that sectionalism played no part in
his attitude, but that he was opposed to
