URGED UPON CONGRESS
John Mitchell, PuhIicists and
Officials Appear Before
House Committee.

A half dozen publicists urged the pas

vide federal commission of nine. two
to be representatives of the employers and
two of organized labor, to study the in.
dustrial situation in the United States

years recommend legislation.
Where once we had one man employ
ing another" testified Edward 7. Devine
of New York, I'VE now have the indus
trial corporation on the one hand and a
body of unorganized or organized workers
on the other. Oppression and tyrannical
assertion of power on the one hand, vio-

power Of the mass action on the other, are
the inevitable evils of such situation.
Such a situation should not be left to the
chance arbitration of a superior force"

Senate Committee Also Ap.
proves Redeeming Certifi-
cate of Indebtedness.

Overruling an adverse report by the
District Commissioners, the Senate Dis

its stamp of approval on the bill for the
incorporation of the American Numis.
matte Association. The committee also
approved a bill to redeem certificate OF

The approval of the bill for the incor-
poration Of the American Numismatic AS
ISOLATION followed an explanation of the
aims and purposes of the organization
by two of It's incorporators, Representa-
tive Ashbrook of Ohio and Henry Chap
man Of Philadelphia.
Views of Commissioners.
The District Commissioners objected to
making the association body corpo-
rate of the District of Columbia because
none of its incorporators was resident
of the District and little of it's business
would be done in the District.
After hearing the explanation of the
incorporators the committee declared it
self favorable to the bill by adopting a
report which says:
Notwithstanding the objection urged
by tine Commissioners that there is gen.
eral law under which corporations of
this character may be formed. the fact
remains that the numismatic association

lection and preservation of coins is not
only interesting to those engaged in the
work, but will be of great value in future
years.
The membership includes prominent
persons OF every state of the Union anC
the provinces Of Canada, who have az
filiated themselves together for educa-
tiOnal and social advantages. Similar or
CARNATIONS exist in many foreign coun-
tries. being incorporated as is proposed
by this bill.
your committee is of opinion that nc
harm can possibly come from the pro-
posed legislation. while much good may
result"
Incorporators of Association.
The incorporators named in the meas
ure are H. o. .Grandberg of Oshkosh,
Wis: Representative William A. Ash
brook Of YOUNGSTOWN. Ohio; Henry Chap
man of Philadelphia: ]. NJ. Henderson OF
Columbus, Ohio; Rowland Wood OF
Brookline, Mass.
The redemption of the certificates of
Indebtedness. which the committee ap-
proved of, was recommended by the Dis
trict Commissioners. They declared that
1t represented an obligation which the
District, though not legally. was moral
ly and in all honor bound to recognize.
The public utilities bill was not dis
cussed today. 1t probably will be taken
up two weeks from today. (,

ORDER OF NEUTRALITY
DISCUSSED BY CABINET
Question Whether the ProCIa.
nation Bars Food Ship
mentS to Mexico.

For much of the time the cabinet was
in session today President Taft discussed
with the members the question of the
scope of his recent neutrality proclama-
ton directed at Mexico. The prOclama-
ton provided that farms and munitions
of war; could not be exported from this
country into Mexico or any other Pan
American country in which a state of re-
volt was found to exist. Scores of tele-
grams have reached the Treasury De-
partment asking if food and other articles
necessary to civilized life are included
within the meaning of the proclamation
under munitions of war" The problem
was looked upon as serious. since thou
sands of Americans now in Mexico might
find their food and clothing supply cut
off, The adoption of complicated system
of bonding probably would be resorted to
If the President directs food to be IN
cluded.
No Information Obtainable.
Representative Hammond of Minnesota
called to talk with the President about
an American family supposed to be in
Durango, Mex, but as to whom no in
! formation can be had. Mr.. Hammond
some time ago asked the President to
have inquiries made. about this family,
named Dwyer, which had resided on a
plantation removed from Durango. Reach
ing Durango. nothing more was heard
from them. The President had the State
Department make inquiries. Up to this
time no facts have reached the depart
ment.
A telegram relating to the Mexican stu
alton has been received by Capt. s. G..
Hopkins of this city, a member of the
firm of attorneys that represented Fran
cisco Madero or Mexico during the revo-
luton which resulted in unseating Presi-
dent Diaz and Placing Madero in the
presidency.
Declares Reports False.
The telegram follows:
Mexico City, March %.
Capt. s. G. Hopkins, Washington, D. G.
please state that the report from
Juarez to the effect that certain groups
of federal soldiers in Chihuahua have
joined the rebels is cowardly falsehood
On the contrary, every one applauds the
loyalty Of our heroic regulars. 1t also
untrue that there has been any mani
fest alton here against President Madero.
Indeed, only a few days since there was
a most enthusiastic demonstration in his
favor, in which 10000 of our best citi-
zens took part, and which will be re-
peated throughout the greater part of the
republic Sunday next
