 Proposed.

Washington, July 10.--A row be- tween Representatives Hili and Riley, Democrats, both of Connecticut, en- llVen5d debate on the Sulzer bill for a department of labor, which was h;a- fore the House today. Hill opened the proceedings by reading from a ser- mon delivered by Woodrow Wilson in Prince ton in 1909. He quoted Wilson as saving labor unions were produc- tive of unprofitable labor and the reg ulations of hours of work injured in- dividual enterprise. Hill then attack ed the Democratic stand on the Tariff.
 This brought Riley to his feet with charge that Hill, when in Connecti- cut recently attem pted to force the Hill denied this and replied by charg ing Riley with having misrepresented him in a tariff speech last spring. He said Riley had shown himself un- worthy of the belief of the House.
 The Lorimer case was before the Senate for seven hours today but a vote was not reached. All of that time with the exception of half hour during which Senator Johnson, of Ala bama, defended Lorimers right to his seat, Senator Jones, of Washington, held the floor
 Wben the Lorimer case was first before the Senate Senator Jones voted in favor of unseating him, but today after having heard all the evidence as a member of the committee, he revers- ed his former judgment and made an elaborate argument in defense of the Illinois Senator.
 An intimation that political deaths had threatened the members of the United States Senate if they did not stand by Senator William Lorimer, or Illinois. and vote to retain him in the Senate was made today by Senator William A. Smith, of Michigan, dur ins an exciting tilt with Senator Jones. of Washington. who had the floor for a speech in defense Of Lori mer's right to his seat.
 T merely want to give them to un- derstand that the people are not chls the ones who are eXerting pressure m this case' said Senator Smith, out side the Senate Chamber. There IS a plenty of it on the other side.
 Senator Smith arose to answer the charges of the I.orimer forces ana sala most of the senators who intended lo vote against Lorimer would do so be- cause the people wanted them ous'eu' and inc senators were afraid to go against the will of their constituents.
 Senator Smith was plainly angry He openely charged that the perjury in tbe I.orimer case came from LOTT mer's friends and not from the Wit nesses against him. He said the developments in the case had m1luehc- od him to the point where he would not believe Lorimer himself no" as much as he did year ago.
 The Senate committee on appropria- t;ons agreed to the sundry CIVIL ap- nropriation bill, carrying approximate lv s116.OOO,o ,oOo an increase Of $o'ooo'- OOo over the House bill.
