TRADES COUNCIL
ATTACKS SENATE
Suspends Rule Prohibiting Po-
Iitical Debates TO Discuss
Upper House of State.

To better express its dissatisfaction
with the State Senate, the Essex
Trades Council took radical action
last night. It suspended an article
of the constitution which forbids po-
litical discussion at the meetings OF
the organization.
This was done after specially ap-
pointed committee had Thoroughly
considered the matter. Two weeks
ago the delegates debated the advisa-
bility of taking political action IN
futIre campaigns. 1t was said that
although the assembly of last year
had been manifestly fair TO organized
labor. the Senate had not. This dis
cussion was frowned on and the con-
tending delegates were reminded OF
the contitution.
After some talk. however, the mat
ter was referred to committee and
it reported last night, and on this re-
mort il was decided TO suspend the
rule for four months in order that
the attitude of legislators toward la
bo1 may be fully and freely dis
cussed.

Letters at Inquiry.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 21-Corre-
spondence between John t. Denvir, .
who represented himself as member
of the Illinois Legislature, and the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rail-
road, in which Denvir demanded from
the railroad a personal pass and
threatened legislative action. because
it was not supplied, was disclosed by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
today in a supplemental report upon
the inquiry made by the commission
into the issue of free transportation
by Western railroads.
There was John r. Denvr in the

commission thct he did not sign the
letter and that it was not sent by his
authority.

himself on account of the Legislative

subsequently was received by the gen.
eral counsel of the road, written on
the official letter-head of the COM

"As chairman of the Public Utilities
Commission, you can look for legisla-
tion that will work hardship to your
company, and I wish to assure you
that when our commission gets
through with you that you will find
your road in the hands of a receiver,
for you certainly are violating the
laws of the State in great many re-
spects, and we know it, but have gone
along and been frienlly to you.'
The report of the commission says:
although the opportunity of a full
explanation is afforded Mr.. Denvir,
it was not forthcoming, and we deem
it our duty to make this record of
the matter. 1t Is well to add that our
Investigations of the records of other
carriers at Chicago show that many
requests have been made in the past
for transportation for the use of John
T. Denvir. The records Of the Illinois
show that refusal to issue such a
free pass was followed by the receipt
of letter to its vice-president as
follows
81 insist you grant me transpor-
tation requested, and will not accept
no as the answer. In the event you
disregard my request you can rest
assured that in the next general as

bill with regard to frontage on the
lake front. from Sixty-third street to
Randolph street, which belongs to the
State of Illinois, and which you real

is not my aim to be disagreeable in
the matter, and / am, therefore, at a
loss TO understand how you can con-
sistently refuse me-

apparently is in the same handwrit-
ing as the signature to the letter
quoted above"

week the rediscounts and loans have in
creased only from S5,607,0 900 to $685.
600. The reserve notes in circulation
increased from Sl,2l5,000 to S2,700,O0
issued by eight banks. The Chicago
district is IN advance of all others in

The cash on hand in the reserve banks
shows an increase of S2l, 100000, and
the increase in gold holdings was S24,-

The statement indicates that there is
no scarcity OF credit or money, and il
