The debate will con- tinue tomorrow, as numerous Demo- crats are anxious to defend the bill. and many Republicans propose to at tack i, The speeches will be circui ated as campaign documents.
 Republicans scored the Democra because they had not waited for the report of the Tariff Board on the steel sche edule The Democrats view was that the Tariff Board could furn- ish no information not published by the ways and means committee and that the country was demanding r' duction of the Payne law rates. Whila the House debated steel, two commit- tees were engaged in the consideration of proposed legislation to regulate the trust Samuel Utermeyer, the | New York lawyer, appeared before the rules comimttee, and declared the money trust is a menace to the nat ion, that the finances of the country are in the hands of few men and that tie investigation contemplated by money trust power

This criticism was oc- casioned by James A. Emery gen r. al counsel for the National Associa- ton of Manufacturers, who appeared in opposition to the Hughes eight- hour bill, and to ask the chairman what industries he refe erred to, when he said some of them needed Federal attention.
 The Senator said: From reports of the Department of Commerce and Labor on the steel industry, it js shown the United States Steel Corpor- ation is paying millions of dollars in dividends and has in its hell-holes men who have worked twelve hours a day, seven days in week and others who work eighteen to twenty-four i'll shift.

The re egular semi-monthly luncheon of the board of trustees of the Pine Bluff Chamber of Commerce at the Hotel Jefferson yesterday was one of the most enjoyable and interesting af- fairs of it's kind attended by the trus- tees since the organization of the new commercial body.

 A letter was read from Rev. J. M Lucey in which he suggested that ill future when new additions are ad- vertised in this city that the real es- tate men first improve them with side walks, sewer system, good streets, etc. Such improvements, said Rev. Lucey will add to the health condi- tions of the city and be of great bene- fit to the residents of the new locali- ties. His suggestion met with ap- proval on the part of the trustees, but it was stated that the Chamber of Commerce had no control over such matters and no action was taken.
 Want Representation.
 A letter was read from the Real Estate Association demanding that 1t have repre esentation on the board of trustees. MT. Boyce stated that three real estate men were already on the board, but as the members of the Real Estate Association considered them Ill other lines of business, they did not look upon them as representatives of their association. Eight new mem- bers are to be elected to the board in October and unless vacancy occurs before that time the trustee have no authority to add new trustee to the board. It was stated that only one o1 the members of the association, Will liam Burke, had contributed to the maintenance fund of the Chamber of Commerce.

TO CONFER ON
 PACKING HOUSE SIMON WHITESTONE DISSATIS- FED WITH INTEREST MANI
 TESTED IN HIS PROJECT. BY TRUSTEES Local Capital Would Build Packing House Without His Aid-He
 Mshes Demands.
BY TRUSTEES

Unless Simon Whitestone, who is promoting the packing house project here, displays more patience and more fully explains his lot selling proposition to the trustees of the Pine Bluff Chamber of Commerce at a meeting to be held for the purpose of discussing the matter With him and Mr. Black, who is said to be as sociated with him in the proposition, the trustees of the Chamber of Con- merce may call the deal with him off. This developed at the bi-month- ly meeting of the board yesterday at the Hotel Jefferson. At the same time P. P. Byrd and other wealthy business men who were in attend- ance, asserted that they would build the packing house here-entirely with local capital, or induce Messrs. Well or some other packers to do so.
 The discussion ended with Secre- tary Spaulding being requested to write MT. Whitestone and MT. Black l letters, inviting them to attend a meeting of the trustees to discuss the matter and reach more satis- factory agreement. This action was taken after Secretary Spaulding had explained that MT. Whitestone was dissatisfied with the interest being taken by Pine Bluffians in the pur- chase of the lots near the proposed backing house site. As MT. White ;; stone demanded, through MT. Spauld- ing. that the people of this city Z1r- chase s6O,0OO worth of lots from him by March, Cor he would have to withdraw from the city, the trus- tees did not take kindly to his in direct message.
 w. N. Trulock, who urged the ! Chamber of Commerce board of trus- tees to go slow when the matter was first considered, was quick to move that MT. Whitestone be allowed te take his packing house elsewhere. J E. Boyce pleaded for conservatism He said he believed the project could be made a success here and that the trustees should demand more pa tience from Mr. Whitestone.
 P. P. Byrd suggested that the $6o, 900 be spent by Pine Rluffians on packing house and not on town lots He said he would be on of severa men to build packing house here MT. Trulock voiced the same senti ments. He said that if MT. White stone is "showing cold feet" ant "bad faith" with the trustees th' sooner they get rid of his proposition the better.
 MT. Bair thought MT. Whitestonf should be given more time and tha the trustees should meet with h1n ! and talk the matter over. MT. Schobe1 did not place much confidence in thf way in which the project was han died. He said that MT. Whitestont had led him and others to believe that he would not ask that many lots be purchased by Pine Bluff people but that he was going to interest the farmers over the state in the propo sition. MT. Bair classed the whole matter as "flim liam" game. MT Bridges also urged immediate actior on the part of the trustees, suggest

AuLT HuLLER
STARTS MONDAY

Ault, June 26.-By Monday morn
ing the first pea vine will go through
the new huller that Is rapidly near
ing completion here. The pea crop
will be one of the largest In the his
of the Empson Canning company
and it is thought that the quality OF
the peas will be superior to any
heretofore. Because there is some
shrinkage of the pea pods when the
vines are carried direct to the fac
tory, pea hullers have been installed
at central points in the pea growing
districts. AS soon as several wagon
loads OF the vegetable have been
hulled, large auto truck will be
waiting to rush the hulled peas
down to the Empson Canning fac
tory at Greeley. This method OF
transportation will be Of great bene-
tit to the farmers that grow the
peas.
Before some of the farmers had
to drive long distances and the peas
would lose their strength by the
time the factory was reached. By
using the motor trucks load OF
peas can be carried to the factory in
a short time. The farmers that
live only a short distance from the
factory will continue to haul in
the pea vines.

WHAT Is THE MATTER WITH
OUR FARMING COMMUNITIES?

Many people are asking why
prices are so high. In the irrigated
district. We are strictly farming
community and depend entirely up
on the farms. Our system OF bust
ness is carried on upon wrong
basis, viz: too much credit, The
chattel mortgages in one county in
this state OF Colorado last year
amounted to two and one half mil
lion dollars, drawing not less than
per cent interest. Bank loans in
that county were over three mil
lions; probably one-third to farm
ers. The merchants and produce
oeaiers were carrying one and
three-fourths millions on their
books or on unsecured notes. Four
collection firms In this same county
collected from farmers 100000.
and charged for collecting 10000,
One firm In this same county had
$4,000, on its books. and paid 8
per cent OF $4,000 to carry these
| accounts. In that county here are
5000 farms. AT a low estimate n
takes $1,50O to make cron m

when crop is sold or put away. This
means that four and one-haIf mil
