Senator Pomerene's Position.

Senator Pomerene, who has been sup
porting the Works substitute, admitted
yesterday afternoon that he would ac-
cept the Gallinger bill as 1t stands il
the substitute had been voted down. He
is strongly of the belief that public
utility legislation is needed for the Dis
trict, especially to settle the contro-
versies which arose in the Senate during
a discussion of the measure regarding the
financial status and operations Of the
local public utility corporations. So he
does not want to see all legislation fail.
and would accept part of a loaf in lieu Of
a whole loaf. in preference to no bread
at all.

Special Committee of House
Opposes Its Adoption.
FAVORED BY GEN. CROZIER
Refuses to Abolish It at Watertown,
Mass, at Time Report Is Made.
CALLED HARMFUL TO WORKERS
mo Economic Necessity to Require
Workmen to Speed Up to Highest
Point" Says Chairman Wilson.

The Taylor system OF shop management
is not fit for adoption in its entirety in
any government workshop, according
to a report submitted by a special COM
mitee of the House yesterday afternoon.
The committee has had the matter under
investigation for several months.
Almost at the same time, Brig. Gen.
Crozier. chief of the ordnance bureau
of the War Department, in letter denied
the request of employees Of the Water
town. Mass, arsenalj to abolish the Tay
lor system of management which has
been installed in the shops there
In addition to the arsenal at Water
town. the Taylor system has been tried
at the Rock Island. ILL.,. arsenal, where
employees went on strike when the sys-
tenn was installed. Strikes were threat
ened also at the Washington navy yard
when it was suggested that the Taylor
system be installed there by the Navy
Department.
Because there are some loafers." says
the report Of the House committee, of
which Representative Wilson of PennSyl-
vania is chairman. 'is no reason why the
remainder of the workmen should be COM
PEELED or induced to work up to the very
edge of breaking strain to hold their
positions. There is no economic necessity
to require workmen to speed UP to the
highest point to the injury of their
health. To place workmen in this posi-
tion Is to place them in the position of a
beast of burden The other members Of
the committee are Representatives Red
field of New York and Tilson of Connecti-
cut.
The report says:
A great amount of good work has
been done by Mr.. Taylor and others in
working out the details of scientific
methods of shop management, but
neither Mr.. Taylor nor any one else has
presented to this committee q system SO
complete as to justify recommends ton
that 1t be imposed in its entirety in any
government shop.
The report declares that neither the
Taylor system nor any other should be
imposed from the men above upon an un-
willing working force. ANY system Of
shop management it says, ought to be
the result of mutual confidence and
mutual consent

suggested Changes.

Special efforts will be made to make
changes in the sections giving the COM
mission control over the issue Of new
stock and bonds by the public utility
corporations, and over the uses to which
the money raised by these new issues can
be put. Senator Works substitute pro-
vides IN considerable detail the steps
which the corporations and the commits
sion are to take when q new issue of
stock or bonds is proposed, and the con-
ditions under which such issues are to
be allowed by the commission.
Senator Gallinger has contended that
his bill gives the commission full, though
general, authority over proposals to in
crease the bonded Indebtedness or the
capital stock of corporations, leaving to
the commission discretion In working
out what steps 1t will take in investi-
eating the needs for more money and
the propriety of giving its certificate of
authority to issue the bonds Of stock
Senator Works would have the law to be
enacted by Congress give specific direc-
tions to the commission as to how to act
in such matters, contending that such
provisions are essential to make the bill
thoroughly effective.

HA[TS UTILITY BILL
Senator GaI|inger Has Meas
ure Returned to Committee.
ACTION COMES AS SURPRISE
Special Efforts to Be Made to Change
Certain Provisions.

Senator Gallinger's move yesterday
afternoon in having the bill establishing
a public utilities commission for the Dis
trict of Columbia recommitted to the
Senate District committee. came as a
surprise to the members of the commit
tee who have been seeking to amend it.
The bill had the advantageous position
in the Senate of being the unfinished
business, to come up every day for con-
sideration, and it has lost that advantage
by the recommittal.
Senator Gallinger declined yesterday
to give the reason for his action, but
he intimated to senators who had sought
to amend it, with whom he talked later
in the day, that he had no intention Of
letting the bill rest indefinitely in the
committee but that he desired to have
the suggested amendments considered Nv
the committee.
Senator's Works of California and
Pomerene of Ohio. who. during the dis
cussion of the measure Friday in the
Senate. urged either a substitute hill
more radical in its nature than the Cal.
linger bill. or amendments to the Cal
linger bill that would make il more
drastic, said yesterday they would push
their amendments in the committee.

Site of New Reservoir.

Mr.. ProbaSco, the representative OF Mr.
William H. Boardman of Philadelphia
Pa. consulting engineer 10 the Fred
erlck water system, has prepared an
Official map, containing four sites, all of
which are sufficient for the proposed
new storage reservoir, and the water
shed Of each is given. The largest
shed, covers an area of over : square
miles and has maximum altitude OF
1906 feet. Other sheds are smaller,
but have practically the same altitude.
1t is estimated that the dam to be
built to control the smallest water shed
will provide several hundred gallons OF
water, and the largest shed will hold
something like 500. 900, 900 gallons with
sufficient provision for making add,
tons to the dam in the future as to
nearly double the supply.
All of the dams and sites are located
in an area of about 20 square miles, and
are either on Tuscarora. Fishing Greek,
or Ok Creek. The present system comes
from small dams and receivers on these
three creeks.
At the recent session of the LegiSla-
ture of MARYLAND bill was passed and
signed, authorizing the city officials TO
issue bonds TO the amount of $50, 900
TO provide for the new storage reservoir.

ing but Dead Sea fruit-idle talk, and
ended in panic He has been chasing
all over the country and making speeches
in his present campaign and has de-
nounced, vilfied and abused everybody
and everything opposed to him.
He has said he is the only man who can
save the people. Save us from whom
and what? The only single thing he has
specified from which the people are to be
saved from are that awful Mr.. Taft and
the bad bosses who are with Mr.. Taft.
Not one other earthly thing has he point
ed out specifically that he will do. Sup
pose we grant the fact that the people
ought to be saved from Taft and his bad
bosses. Then Mr.. Roosevelt will say,
as he said of the trusts, there are good
bosses and bad bosses, and my friends
Bill Finn and OrmSbv McHarg and Per-
kins and all my boys are good Bosses
and we suppose he then will say he has
sufficiently hoodooed the people to be-
lieve him and It really looks like he has
hoodooed great many people, and even
good, intelligent people among the rest.
The strange thing about it is that the
people are hoodooed without being able
to give YOU a single fact in all this mans
record on which his wild claims can be
supported, on the contrar" he has the
most pieballed record Of the demagogue
in the history OF the republic.
The only man that convention could
name who would give slight hope Of re.
lief is Mr. LaFolette and he cannot be
nominated. So the people can rest as
sured that there is no hope of anything
for the relief of the people from the
Chicago convention.
