By Trust Attorney, But He
Is Overruled.

Washington, Jan. 3o.-Louis d. Bran
deis, of Boston, and N. A. Reed. coun-
sci for the United States Steel corpo-
ration, clashed today before the Stan
ley committee over a line of inquiry
into the corporations labor policy. Mr..
Reed commended the committee had no
authority TO Investigate the labor ques-
ton. Chairman Stanley overruled him.
Mr.. Brandeis challenged Judge Gary's
recent statement that the corporation
treatment of employees compared favor
ably with that of any other.
The percentage of men who undergo
hardships is unusually large said MIR.
Brandeis. Judge Gary's comment on
criticisms of the corporations labor
policy shows to me the utter inability
of large corporations to regard human
life"
Mr.. Brandeis declared that the steel
industry in England has eliminated en-
tirely all these objectionable features
You don't mean England has been
able to do anything for labor that we
cannot do in this country?" demanded
Chairman Stanley. You must be mis-
taken"
Unfortunately, in this case I am not
mistaken" returned Mr.. Brandeis, say,
ing that the working week of an Eng
ish steel worker was 55.2 hours, and
that AZ per cent of the workers in this
country averaged 70 hours.

made this morning to assassinate Brig.
Gen. Chang Huai Chih. ut the rail-
road station here. The general was not
injured. The would be assassin, who
is a young Chinnman, apparently ar
rived here on the same train as Chang
Huai Chin from Picking. The general
on leaving the train proceeded to his
brougham. which was in waiting. The
assassin followed him and threw two
bombs, which wrecked the carriage.
The assailant fled, but was quickly
surrounded by soldiers and police. He

Inc agents Of the revolutionary party
In this city recently intimated that a
dynamite campaign was not improb-
able in the near future. Yesterdays

attempt to keep the nature of their

THORNE STARTS
ROW AT MEETING

Chicago, Jan. 30.-A wrangle marked
the meeting of railroad commissioners
of seven states and Chief Examiner
George N. Brown, of the suspension
committee of the Interstate Commerce
commission, here today, when a new
tariff schedule created by railroads In
western states came up for discussion.
The railroad commissioners finally left
the meeting because, according to a
: statement they issued later, the chief
examiner had "~prejudiced the case" of
the shippers.
Trouble started when Commissioner
Clifford Thorne, of the Iowa board.
asked Brown to recommend a 120-day
suspension of the new freight schedule
of the roads, which is to go into effect
February is, pending the preparation
of the commissioners attack On the
new rate. Insufficient time has been
given the commissioners to protest
Request Is Denied.
Brown firmly refused to grant the
request. The following commissioners
are lighting the freight measure:
Clifford Thorne, Iowa; George A. Hen
shaw. Oklahoma; Il. c.. Robinson, South
Dakota; j. A. Little, North Dakota; J.
Hedlund. Texas; e. E. Smith, Kansas,
and T. N. Bradbury, Missouri.
The statement says:
THE chief examiner has ~prejudiced
our case. We regret to fine this sit
uation and wish he could have awaited
until he had heard our reasons for
asking the suspension of the entire
classification.
This classification the railroads ave
proposed raises the freight charges on
$50 subjects between all points in
American west of the Mississippi river.
1t has been estimated that there are
90, 900 towns in this territory. One
half of them probably are Of minor
Importance. That means more than
5000, 900 raises affecting Chicago alone.
The same is true of Kansas City, Des
Moines, st. louis and every other point
west of Chicago. Think of the vast
territory affected and the millions Of
rates involved. +
Time Is Too Short.

a few grievances. The great shipping
public and the consumer of the coun-
try will not be heard. All we ask is a
suspension of the whole schedule for
12O days as contemplated by the act to
regulate commerce."
Much objection has been made to the
new schedule because of the raise on
agricultural implements, farm machin-
ery and accessories. The commission
ers planned to hold another meeting
late today to decide on their future
course,

NUMBERS FOR WESTERN
LEAGUE BALL PLAYERS

Denver. Jan. 29.-It is not unlikely
that the Western league at it's coming

adopt the scheme of numbering the
baseball players, each player having a
numera on his sleeve corresponding to
his number On the score cards.
Opposition to this plan may be en-
countered from some Of the old timers
among the club magnates, but this will
probably be overcome when they are
shown that the numbering of players
will greatly increase the gale of score
