STEEL BILL PASSED
Adopted in the House by Vote
of 21O to 100.
LOUD MINORITY PROTEST
Twenty Insurgent Republicans Join
Reconsideration in Senate
Hoped For.

BY passing the iron and steel revision
bill yesterday afternoon the democrats
OF the House established something of
record for speedy tariff legislation.
The measure was introduced last We'd
nesday, taken up for general debate
Friday. read for amendment Saturday
and put through at 43O o'clock yesterday
afternoon over the voiciferous protests Of
the minority.
Members of the majority who have
suffered severely in past years from the
rulings Of Uncle" Joe Cannon, Serene
Payne OF New York. Ebenezer Hill of
Connecticut and others Of the stand
pat old guard. derived Immense salts
faction from listening to the screams
OF anguish drawn from these same gen.
tlemen yesterday as the democratic
steam roller passed over them.
The vote on the bill was 21O to 100. Only
three acknowledgements Martin.
Taylor and Rucker of Colorado-voted
against the BILL and they did so by per-
mission Of the democratic caucus which
approved the bill, having previously
pledged themselves to their constituents
to vote for higher duties on lead and zinc
than are provided by the revision meas
ure.
Insurgents Help Democrats.
Representative Berger of Wisconsin, the
single socialist member of the House.
and twenty insurgent republicans voted
with the democrats to pass the bill. They
were Representatives Davis and Lind
bergh Of Minnesota, Haugen, Hubbard
and Woods of Iowa, Helgesen, North Da-
kota: Jackson. Murdoch and Young Of
Kansas, Kent and Stephens of California,
Kinkaid, Norris and Sloan Of Nebraska,
Lanerty Of Oregon. La Toilette and War
burton Of Washington, Lenroot, Morse
and Nelson Of Wisconsin.

against its passage were: Representatives
Anderson. Miller. VOlstead and STEVENSON
of Minnesota, Cooper, Esch and Kopp of
Wisconsin. French of Idaho, Good Green
Kendall, Kennedy and Pickett of Iowa,
and Hays of California.
Only One Amendment.
The metals schedule measure went
through the lower branch exactly as re-
ported. except for one amendment, merely
corrective Of an imperfection in the text,
that was offered by Majority Leader I'm
derwood- Hope is expressed by the House
democrats that the democrats and repub-
lican insurgents of the Senate will form
a coalition similar to that by which the
tariff bills Of the special session were put
through, so that the steel bill may be sent
to President Taft for approval or veto.
There doesn't seem to be the slightest
question but that Mr.. Taft, basing his
attitude on the fact that the tariff board
has not yet reported on the metals sched-
uIe, will veto the bill.

"Organized crime has here appeared to
an amazing degree" said Mr.. Noel. and
it was carried on and it grew, because 10
cally the arm of the law failed Had
local authorities done their duty, this

SUBMITS HER SOLUTION
OF THE ALLEYI;QUES !
Miss Helen Parrish Suggests
Purchase by. PhiIanthropic
Stock Company.

That the most practical way to solve
stock company to buy the properties
and have direct supervision over the
moral, sanitary and educational life of
the tenants was the giA of an address
this morning by Miss Helen Parrish,
speaking before the woman's welfare de-
partment of the National Civic Federation
in the Southern building.
Miss Parrish is an Official Of the Octavia
Hill Home Society of Philadelphia, which
has as its object the aiding Of the poor
of the Quaker city, who live under i'm
moral and ;nsanitary conditions.
Using conditions in Philadelphia eX-
amples she pointed out that in Washing
ton it undoubtedly would be possible for
a stock company TO buy the alley proper
ties in Washington, supervise the life of
the residents and guarantee from to j
per- cent dividend to the stockholders.
She said that the relation of the land
lord to the tenant is of the greatest inn
pOrtarce in forcing the lowest class of
people to change their mode of living.
Rent collectors. she said. should be wom-
en- who have the authority to inspect the
homes. see that the children go to school
and that the sick receive the necessary
medical attention.
She asserted that the worst kind of a
landlord is the foreigner who has no
advantages over his tenants other than
money. This class of landlord, who has
made money, but who has not developed
any American ideas regarding morality
or cleanliness. she said, will not aid the
tenants In any way. Another type OF
landlord who does not aid the tenant is
the absentee. who has the rental handled
through an agent. AS an experiment Miss
Parrish suggested that in Washington
three or four houses be purchased at first
to get an idea Of how the plan will work.
