TO FIX MINIMUM WAGE.
llinoisan Patron of Bill, Gives His
Views and Hopes for Improved
Conditions.

Washington. May 29.-One Of the
most revolutionary proposals that
has ever been submitted to Congress,
whose operation, if tbs bill is enacted
into law, probably would effect vast
changes in the nations economies, Is
that advanced by Senator Jas. HAM
iton Lewis, of Illinois, for national
wage commission. FiNatlon of a
minimum wage for every worker IS
the ultimaya purpose of the measure.
Senator Lewis explains his bill:
~ wish to leave free all persons to
make their own contracts, but n0: IN
matters of interstate character, rail-
road transportation, railways or other
institutions. I wish to assure that
no person shall be forced to live at
a wage less than that upon which the
human being can exist, consistent
with the status of life necessary to be
occupied in connection with the part
undertaken.
at is my purpose to have estab-
lished under this government some
forum in which the least citizen may
feel that he does not need to resort
to lawlessnes sto maintain his citizen
ship and his rights. | wish to estab-
lish in the hearts Of the citizens a
confidence that there is a court to
which they may, go in peace with as
surance that they will obtain equity
and be backed by public opinion
whenever the facts of their rights are
known. In this way strikes will be
avoided riots and lawnessneS provided
against, patriotism inspired in the
citizens and peace be the uniform
enjoyment of all communities

Expresses Hope That Bill Will Reach
House and be Disposed of at Pres
ent Session.

ash;ngton May 29.-President Viii
son and the congressional leaders who
will have charge Of the. currency bill
when it is placed before Congress are
Fastening considerable nof the subject
so that there shall be no delay in
taking up The measure when the
House is ready for it. Congressman
Carer Glass, who will be chairman OF
the House Banking and Currency
Committee has rewritten section OF
tentative draft he had placed before
the President, the draft of the bill
is believed now to be near final COM
pletion, unless differences should de-
velope in further conferences.
The President has repeatedly eX-
pressed the hope that the bill might
reach the house early enough 70 in
sure passage before the close of the
special session. The President has no
hopes of pushing the bill through the
Senate at this session, owing to the
slow PROGRESS of the tariff bill. The
DELAY vii larise from the action
of the Senate conrmEtee in sending
out a long list of questions to bank
ers will add to the improbability OF
Senate action this season.
The Senate Finance Committee has
encountered delay in consideration of
the tariff bill owing to Ehe necessity
Of taking action on items in. the bill
objected to be Germany and France.
The State Department has received
protests from representatives of these
two nations TO the clause in the Un-
derwood bill which provides a . per
cont drawback on imports brought to
American shores in ships of American
rieester. France and Germany object
to this as a violation of existing trea-
ties.
Conferences between Senator Sim
mors chairman of the senate finance
committee and John Bassett Mooer
counselor of the State Department,
are expected to straighten out the
international legal question, and to de-
termine whether amendment of the
bill TO meet the wishes of the foreign
governments will be necessary.
