Will Report on Investigation.

Washington.-The secretary of con- merce and labor informed the senate that the bureau of labor as early as March last, began an exhaustive in- quiry into the wages and living condi- tions of the textile mill operatives at Lawrence, Mass. A few days ago the senate adopted the Poindexter resolu- tion, requesting the department to investigate the subject The communi- cation was in response to that resolu- tion. In his communication the acting secretary of commerce and labor says: By direction of this department, the bureau of labor in the early part of March began an investigation into the wages and conditions of living of mill operatives in Lawrence, Mass. Since the completion of the field work of this investigation the bureau of labor has been steadily engaged in the preparation of a report. The ta- bles, giving wage data, for more than 21,000 employees practically are con- pleted, the text of the report already is we'll advanced and I hope to be able to transmit the complete report within the next two weeks.''

Will Aid Flooded Valley.

Washington, D. C.-Senator Thorn tons bill, appropriating $50,0O0 to aid farmers in Mississippi flooded dis tricts to get in new crops as soon as the waters recede, passed the senate. The secretary of agriculture is to su- ,pervise distribution of the funds. The bill as oringinally introduced provid- ed $100,000, but it was cut in half by the committee. It originally provided for seed, but this clause is eliminated. The money will be used to send agri- cultural experts to the flooded districts to assist the farmers with advice about new crops. Plenty of seed will be available, because the Louisiana and Mississippi congressman, under the law, are allotted large amount of seed annually, and they will use their allotment for the flooded districts. The Ransdell bill, identical with the Thornton bill, but carrying $100,000, has been favorably reported to the house, but has not passed. The house will accept the reduction to $50,0O0 and pass the Thornton bill.

PASSES HOUSE
Three Cent Pieces Fa- ], Acted Upon.

Wester Union News Service.
 Wal The bill for the re- vival t and half-cent pieces passe, under suspension of the rJ Mayor Newton D. Baker of Cleveland and Mayor Brand Whitlock of Toledo have been strong advocates of this legislation, declaring that g. cent piece will be of incaluculable ad- vantage to communities where the prices of various commodities and services are on a Scent basis, such as the Scent street railway fares in Cleveland and Toledo, Scent lunch rooms, and Scent amusements. The bill passed provides that the new coin shall be 75 per cent copper and 25 per cent nickel, which is identical with the composition of the 5-cent piece. The bill further provides the 1-cent pieces shall hereafter be of the same composition, instead of the present composition of 95 per cent copper and 5 per cent tin and zinc, which corrodes badly and is unsanitary. The new g. cent piece will be of 60 troy grains weight, and the half-cent piece of 30 troy grains weight, while the new nickel cents will weigh AS grains The Scent pieces will be legal tender up to 30 cents and the half-cent pieces legal tender up to 25 cents. The bill has been so framed so not to have the new coins interfere with the coin counting machines now in use in bank ing establishments.
