The weight of argument which pre-
coded the adoption of this resolution
came from speeches by men in the

Trust" investigating committee of the
House, today. that city derelicts recruit
ed from the slums We're kept practically

Mr. Bodkin expressed contempt for
the city chaps who We're sent by the
Sugar Co. to oversee his operations, ana
he criticized the newspapers in his Sec

The committee took great interest in
his description of the "slum labor"
Mr. Bodkin expressed the belief by the
committee of farmers, of which he is a
member. that the Sugar Co. was not paw
ing a fair price for beets. IF the tariff
is of any benefit to sugar. the company
gets it," said the witness.
He cast doubt upon the accuracy Of
the polaliscopic tests by the Sugar Co.
but acknowledged he had no proof of
their inaocuracy.
Before W. p. Willet, New York sugar
expert, left the witness stand he de-
scribed the sugar trade of Denmark foc

Good Results AL
ready Being Seen.

New York, Dec. 6.-At a meeting of
labor leaders here, today, to settle a
dispute between the metal workers and
the carpenters and joiners there was d
deal of informal discussion of the Nc
Namara case and it's effect upon labor
unioism.
While it could not be ascertainea
whether the matter was brought up in
the meeting, there was much talk in the
Hobbies and halls of the hotel concerning
a countrywide effort to settle all exist
ing strikes Immediately with view to
oHsetting the present outcry against
unionism'

member of the executive council of the
Federation OF Labor; and James Short Of
Chicago, president of the Building
Trades department of the Federation.
Not only did the leaders seem to want
to make peace with the EMPLOYERS and
settle all existing labor troubles, but 1t
was suggested in the informal talks that
if all warning labor unions could hold a
peace meeting and settle their difficult
ties in an amicable way world of good
might result. One of those who took
part in the session, today, expressed his
belief that the matter would be finally
settled when Samuel Gompers, president
of the Federation of Labor, returns here,
tomorrow or next day, to take part IN

The executive session, today. lasted
more than four hours. Mr.. Tveitmoe
said no definite action was decided upon
