tariff is, of course, the all Important con alteration. But with all of the tariff fn- vestigations that have already been made that subject should not occupy ans1indue amount of time. I see no objection to taking up such general legislation as may be properly prepared, at the special ses- sion. There are certain defects in fhe currency system, now under investigation and there is a demand for amendments to the Sherman antitrust law Both of these, it seems to me. should receive early consideration.
 Washington, November 1S.-There will be legislation during the approaching short session of congress as a result uf the money trust investigation of the house of representatives, if Representative Pujo, the chairman of the Investigating com mittee, has his way about it.
 MT. Pujo today said he hoped the com mittee would be able to conclude it's in- vestigation by December 20. His desire is that the report should be ready to pre- sent to congress by January 20, "in or- der" he said that congress may take such action in the way of remedial leg islation as may be warranted by @he facts.'

FAVORS GENERAL LEGISLATIVE PROGRAMME
 FOR THE EXTRA SESSION

Washington, November 1S.--A general legislative programme for the special ses- sion of congress to be called by oresi- dent-elect Wilson next spring was advo- cated tonight by Senator O'Gorman of New York, one of Governor Wilson's chief campaign advisers. The senator declared that he could see no objection to taking up such general matters as cur rency legislation and amendments to the antitrust law, as incidental to the re- vision of the tariff which will be the main business of the extra session.
 Without having conferred with any of my colleagues" said Senator O'Gorman. T am in favor of revising the tariff schedule by schedule, as we attempted to do in the last session of congress. How ever, if sentiment in congress favors a single general bill. I shall not interpose any objection.
 T believe that the special session could do much in carrying out legislative plans now formed, and in redeeming the pledges of the democratic national platform. The

New Members in House

As the election did not change the party complexion of the House the appointment of the rivers and harbors committee will remain the same, with Mir. Sparkman of Florida as chairman. The new members will be three democrats and five republic ans or progressives.

The fatality rate for 1911 per 1000 men employed in and about the mines was s.7s as compared with 3.92 in 1910. and the death rate per million short tons or coal mined decreased from 5.ss in 1slo to 5.4s in 1911. The number of tons oI coal mined per death increased from 1T,oO0 to 1ss0Oo. There was. there fore, distinct improvement in 1911 over the previous year. continuing the improvement which has been made al- most steadily since 1907, when the death rate per 1000 mon employed reached a maximum of 4ss due to a number of exceptionally disastrous ex- plosions.
 There has been a substantial de- crease in the fatality rates in the coal mining industry of the United States in the last half decade, and, as already stated. the indications are there will be a still further decrease in the rates for 1912.
 For the first six months of 1s1z. Ala bama reports 56 men killed in and about the mines in that state, as against 209 in 1911, and 23S for 1910. It will be remembered, too, that it was in 1911, when the appalling disaster oc- cured at the Banner mine. in which 128 persons lost their lives. This dis aster and the one at Briceville, Tenn, where S4 lives were lost, head the lists of mine disasters for 1911.
 Pennsylvania in Lead
 Pennsylvania leads with the num- Der of men killed, reporting in 1912 from the anthracite mines, 381 for eight months, and for the bituminous mines 279, but according to the number of men employed and the number of tons mined her per centage will compare fla vorably with Alabama for 1912. In for mer years Pennsylvania has had much lower percentage Of fatalities from mine accidents than Alabama,
 The statistics showing a yearly de- crease in fatal accidents in and around the coal mines of the country indicate improved mining methods and more competent and skilled inspectors, and also shows that state mining laws are being enforced and carried out by in telligent officers. The department &C., knowledges with thanks the prompt manner in which Chief Inspector Charles H. Neshett and District Inspec- tors W. W. Kicker, David KKelso, J. F. Webb, ". R. Ray, Frank Hillman and Thomas Roscoe of Alabama have made their monthly reports, and declares that the monthly reports made by the de- partment Is not for the purpose in any way to usurp the field covered by the annual or biennial reports of the state mine inspectors or mining departments, but simply to issue promptly reports of the number and causes of fatal acci- dents occurring in the coal mines throughout the country and perhaps to include short descriptions of the major

the progressive citizens in all states vii look to a democratic administration ane l believe that their policy will be to carry on their work of river, harbor and cana improvement now under way on th' ground that the platform of the demo cratic party is even stronger than tho platforms of other parties with respect tc this vital question.
 Personnel of Committees
 The result of the general election, while it does not affect the advancement of sem timent for waterway improvement in har- mony with the doctrines of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, has in a number of instances changed the per sonnel of the committees of both houses having to deal with rivers and harbors appropriations.
 The Senate committee on commerce, which consists of F members, lost two' Ser ators Bourne of Oregon, republican, and Percy of Mississippi, democrat; while the House committee on rivers and har- bors, consisting of 21 members, lost eight, three democrats, Messrs. Ransdell of Louisiana, EIlerbe of South Carolina and BGenne or 1nulaDdt lshHItlcc ol unS- sachusetts, Davidson Of Wisconsin, Young of Michigan. Rodenburg of Illinois and Kennedy of Iowa, republicans.
 The only member of the House commit tee who will continue in Congress is MT. Ransdell, who has been elected to the Senate. His distinguished service not only in the House, but as president, since its reorganization of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress should in the very na- ture of things place him upon the com merce committee of the Senate.
 Tho hold over senators of the commerce .mittee are Messrs. Nelson of Minne- sota, Perkins of California, Smith of Michigan, Stephenson of Wisconsin, Bur ton of Ohio, Burnham of New Hampshire, Crawford of South Dakota and Oliver of Pennsylvania, republicans; Martin of Vir- ginia, Simmons of North Carolina, New lands of Nevada, Bankhead of Alabama, Fletcher of Florida and Redd of Missouri, democrats.
 Now that the democrats are practically assured of control of the Senate, MT. Nel- son will be retired from the chairman ship of the committee for democrat, the membership of the committee being in- creased by the addition of four to make up the 1O the apportionment accorded to the majority party. There are nine repub- lican members of the committee holding over, two of whom will have to be elim- mated, and six hold over democrats.
