BRANDEIs CLASHES HARD
WITH STEEL LAWYERS
'Criticises cutter Inability of Large
Corporations to Regard Human Life"

Washington, Jan. 30-Louis d.
Bradeis of Boston, and d. A. Reed,
counsel for the United States steel
corporation, clashed today before the
Stanley committee over a line of in
quiry into the corporations labor pol
icy. Mr.. Reed contended the commit
the labor question. Chairman Stanley
tee had no authority to Investigate
labor question. Chairman Stanley
overruled him.
Mr.. Brandeis challenged Judge Gary
for a recent statement that the cor
poration's treatment of employees COM
pared favorably with that of any 9th
er, and introduced portions of the re-
port upon the steel industry recently
made by Commissioner Neill of the
bureau of labor. He criticised the
length of hours of workmen.
"The percentage of men who under
go nardships is unusually large" said
Mr.. Brandeis. Judge Gary's comment
on criticism of the corporations pol
icy shows to me the utter inability Of
large corporations to regard human
life"
Mr.. Brandeis declared ''the steel in
quiry in England has eliminated en-
tirely all these Objectionable fea-
tures.''
you don't mean England has been
able to do anything for labor that we
can't do IN this country" demanded
Chairman Stanley. "You must be mis-
taken"
Unfortunately in this case am not
mistaken" returned Mr.. Brandeis, say
ing that the working week Of an Eng
lish steel worker was 55.2 hours, and
that AZ per cent of the workers IN
this country averaged 72 hours.
"Mr. Carnegie has said the steel
business was a case of feast or fam
inc, prince or pauper, in the early
days Today with the steel corpora
ton it is case of prince and pau
perizing,' said Mr.. Brandeis He
charged that the steel workers were
worse than slaves.
"The slaveowners were human" he
said, "and slaves came into personal
contact with their owners. On the
other hand the owners of this steel
corporation are in the position exact
ly similar to the absentee landlords
in Ireland and through the stock dis
tribution scheme to employees have
brought about a condition exactly
comparable to the appalling rent con-
ditions in Ireland.

Nearly $50 passengers had reached
Birds Point yesterday, and when they
sought to cross to Cairo, to transfer
to another train, they found the reg
ular ferry service suspended because
of great foes that jammed the river.
Anxious to cross, however, a large
number of the passengers engaged pri-
vate boatmen to undertake the pas
sage. Frank Jones, an experienced
river man, took a party of twelve in
his ferry. Midway in the river he
was caught byb an ice foe that
smashed at his boata and turned the
craft perilously about Immediately
panic seized the party but before
attempts to rescue them could be
made, they had swept out of sight by
the ice foe, and soon the big ice pack
was hidden by heavy fog.
Searching parties braved the rivers
dangers, patrolling the broad, ice
swept stream all night. Before res
cuers reached them, however, the
party landed below here.

RESOLUTION ASKS FOR
PROBE OF MONEY TRuBT

Washington, Jan. So.-Representa-
tive Henry, chairman OF the house
rules committee, this afternoon intEO-
duced a resolution in the house pse-
viding for a special committee OF
seven to investigate the money TRUST.
The resolution is most sweeping in
its character, covering every imagin-
able subject relating to banks, cor
porations and to dealings through the
New York stock exchange. The reao-
luton, Mr. Henry says, will be urged
upon the house for adoption.
Stringent provisions are made for
the requiring of testimony from wit
nesses and the production of books
and document.
The resolution may precipitate
crisis in the house owing to the di-
vision OF feeling among the demo-
Gratis over the question OF investigaL-
ing the so-called financial monopoly.
The Bryan democrats favor the IN
vestigation, but the conservatives are
against 1t,
Democratic leaders say that the res
olution will probably be acted upon
in party caucus before it Is taken
up in the house. If its adoption is au-
thorized by the caTcus Mr. Ienry
probably will te pble 10 force 1t thru
without difficulty.

TIPP|NS BILL TO
COME UP EARLY
1T WILL BE ONE OF THE FIRST
MATTERS HANDLED
BY LEGISLATURE.

Atlanta, Jan. 3O.-When tba laSis-
'deure meets this summer the advo-
cates of the Tippins bill are going to
prlng 1t to the front as quickly as
posslolbe. That it has a majority in
Ooth house and senate was conceded
70 be the case last summer. and II
Is not believed that there has been
any material change in sentiment re-
garding 1t.
IL IS generally believed that oppo-
nents' Of that measure are going to
concentrate their efforts towards eth
er w1plng near beer completely ont of
existence in the state, or else remove
all subterfuge by licensing the sale
of real beer.
That there is little near-beer sold
In Georgia now is the general belief
OF those who know anything about
the business. Just after the passage
of the prohibition bill, beer of a low
percentage of alcohol was generally
sold wherever the sale of near-beer
was pei mitted
But that condition did not continue
for any very extended period, for the
dealers and manufacturers began edg.
ing in on the real STUFF until now il
Is commonly accepted fact that the
same kind of beer sold everywhere
is sold in Georgia.
This condition, at least. is be-
lleVed to exist in the larger cities al
any rate, while in some smaller places
the near" article may still be
served. =
At any rate there is a considerable
element in the general assembly that
believe all subterfuge should be
thrown of and that Georgia should
license the sale of regular beer. or
else wipe out for all time the near
beer" fraud.
And the fight is going to be made
along this line. If the advocates OF
the sale of beer straightout cannot
rally sufficient support to pass such
a measure, they will start a fight to
wipe out the sale of near-beer com
pletely. They say even If the Tip
pins bill is passed with its one pei
cent limitation on alcohol, that it will
not be observed, because beer cannot
be made with such low percentage OF
alcohol.
Sell beer or stop the near beer
fraud, is the slogan.
