Washington, Aug 5-Representadve
Stanley Of Kentucky, to-day introduced
in the House a special rule TO bring about
debate on the results OF his committee
Investigation Of the United States Steel
Corporation. Mr.. Stanley failed a few
days ago to get an order from the House
fixing Thursday OF this week as a day
on which to thrash out the differences be-
tween the Democratic and Republican
members.
His plan under the rule Is to devote six
hours on Thursday to the debate. half the
time to be controlled by himself and half
by Representative Gardner, Republican,
Of Massachusetts
Two bills designed 20 amend the Sher-
man act were presented by Mr.. Stanley
to-day. one prohibits ownership by one
corporation Of stock IN another. and the
other Is the Brandeis bill. which gives in
jured parties the right TO sue on the same
status as the government to dissolve com
binations which threaten them.
Representative Gardner. Of Massachu-
setts. was Jublant to-day over the latest
bin on the trust question which Mr. Stan
ley mas prepared This bill is not that
Of the majority Of his committee, but his
own views. Il seeks to prevent corpora
tons in the iron and steel trade engaged
in interstate commerce from doing bust
ness with apitalized stock Il ap-
.proaches the Republican view Of The ne
Cessity OF government Intervention.
Il cannot help believing that this new
proposition OF law. coming as Il does so
soon after the minority report, IS con-
ceiyei in the self-same spirit which act
yates the true Kentucky gentleman when
re says We'll. stranger. I'll Just go you
FIVE plunks better"

Insurgents Are Determined.

II free debate is denied-as il was at
the last Caucus-there will be trouble.
None Of US seeks personal glory in
this fight, but we are determined that
the supremacy Of the navy shall be
maintained, and We challenge the right
OF the party caucus 10 dictate how we
shall vote on the question OF battle
ships.
II is ridiculous for sixty-two Rep
resentatives. who are pledged by their
oaths to do their duty as they see It
and 70; carry out the wishes OF their
constituents. to be bound hand and foot
by eight men. What We want is re-
lease, and we are determined 10 have
IT, II is monstrous 10 think that eight
men can render US helpless merely by
the order Of King Caucus.
Earlier in the day House leaders were
apprised officially by the Senate that
the upper branch would agree to a
compromise Of one battleship. The
Senate provided for two in. an amend
mend 10 the House bill. The concession
further complicates the situation. for
II is conceded that number Of battle
ship advocates in the House who would
have gone over 70 the two battleship
camp probably will accept the COM
promise as the best means Of ending
the deadlock between the two houses.

Vote on Cotton Bill Delayed.

Senator Simmons, the Democratic tarI
leader in the Senate. made an ineffectual
attempt to secure a vote Friday on the
cotton bill passed By the House last week.
Spurred on by the success OF the Demo-
cratic Progressive forces on the other
hills. the House sent the cotton bill over
al the end Of the week.
Senator Penrose reported II uniavorap!y
from the Finance Committee to-day He
did not oppose Senator Simmons's request
for vote on the measure Friday. but
the plan failed because at the demand OF
other members the appropriation meas
ures and the Panama Canal bill were
taken UP.
Clashes between the Democrats and Re
publicans were frequent during the con-
sideration Of the pension appropriation
bill. The Senate insisted upon standing
by It's amendment eliminating the House
provision 10 abolish the pension agencies

that II was neither an economy nor an
advantage. II was suggested that the dis
