tied one to the end of a long shoe

PUJO COMMITTEE
SUGGEST LAWS
Money Trust Investigators Meet, but
Members Disagree On Pro-
posed Lexislation.

The Money Trust investigating COM
mittee of the House met late yesterday
to discuss framing a report on its in
meeting had concluded II was learned
that the members of the committee are
at wide variance as to what legislation
shall be recommended
Most of the members are agreed that
number OF financial evils exist but
it was largely held that these are mat
ters for State regulation. and that there
would be insurmountable obstacles
to Congressionally framed remedies
Among the plans discussed were a law
prohibiting national bank officers from
receiving bonuses for loans, a law for
the prevention of interlocking direc-
torates among national banks. Federal
regulation OF the stock exchanges. and
changes in the national banking laws
to limit the operations Of clearing
house associations.
Most of the members of the commit
tee feel that it would be unwise to at
tempt any legislation aimed at pre-
industrial corporations. For the re-
form of clearing house associations
three remedies were suggested, as fol-
lows: Federal Incorporation. a law
preventing national banks from join
ing clearing house associations the
rules of which are too autocratic, and
a proposal to regulate clearing houses
in the matter of charges for the collec-
tion of checks by application Of the
interstate commerce law.

District Salaries.

The few small additions which have
been made to the meagcr salaries paid
to District employees invite attention 10
the fact that a great many OF these
employees are rendering efficient scrv-
ice for inadequate compensation.
In one case winch was brought to
the attention OF the Senate it was
shown that subordinate official whose
duty il is to sec that contractors fur
nI>hing more than 5000 articles to the
District deliver goods in accordance
with ,amplcs and who has custody of
the supplies is paid the munihccnt sum
OF 5000 i year.
AS an employer of men all my
life, said Senator Oliver during the
debate Il would be ashamed in my
private establishment to employ man
to perform such dutic, as this man
performs and pay him only the salary
that is provided in thi> bill"
So an increase of SIoo year was
added to the amount paid to this en-
ployc. The case is by no means
unique There arc scores OF other men

Both the railroads and organized la
hor are agreed that the Erdman act
needs revision. a the Federal govern
mcnt under IL provision is not able
to handle successfully such problems as
arc involved in a large wage dispute
between capital and labor. OF course,
each contestant has his own ideas as
to how such 4 revision is to be accom-
plishcd. The railroads believe that
wage commissions arc the remedy, be-
causc such body would have the same

as a fact that the bargaining power OF
the individual employc is far inferior
to that of the employer. Only by
union of the individuals has the weaker
element been made strong enough to
deal with the employer on an equal
footing. Back of the workers col
lcctive demands and propositions has
always been the only argument of any
persuasive influence upon employers
pswer.
Public opinion will compel Congress,
either at once or soon after rcassenl-
bling, TO take action to ''lick these two
extreme points of view into legislative
shape" by amending the Erdman act.
The question of compulsory arbitra-
ton admittedly is confusing to the dis
interested student of the capital VS..
labor problem, because of the relations
between the railroads and the public,
the former being dedicated to the use
of the latter. This is apt to make GER
tain viewpoints rather one-sided in
given circumstances.
Congress should, and no doubt it
will. cndeavor to suit both parties,
when considering the arbitration prob
lem, by extending the Erdman act in
the manner suggested by the labor
leaders. instead of lcgislating compul-
sorry arbitration. The Erdman act
failed in the present instance to give
complete satisfaction to the railroads
because it provides for only one rep
rcscntative on either side OF the con-
tcstants, an objection well taken by the
roads. who insist upon large enough
body OF arbitrators. who would be apt
TO know more and to understand better
the intricacies of the issue involved.
