CONTINUED ATTACK
ON FEDERAL CONTROL
OF STOCK EXCHANGES.

Washington, Feb. S.--Federal reSu-
lation of Stock Exchanges as pro-
posed in the owen bill under consld-
Grafton by the Senate banking and
currency committee is radical inva-
sion of state rights, in the opinion of
officers of the Consolidated Stock Ex-
change of New York, who appeared
Saturday before the committee.
The BILL" declared Hjalmar II.
Boyesen, counsel for the Consolidated
Exchange, seeks to do, through pos
tai and other regulations. what Con-
gress has no authority to do directly
and constitutes the most radical IN
vasion of state rights with which l
am familiar"
Boyesen, President NJ. f. De Aguero
and other officials of the Consolidat-
ed. saw in the owen bill, however.
some sound legislative recommended
lions which they declare should be
enacted by the various states. They
criticised sharply other features of the
bill.
President De Aguero told the COM
mittee that the section which would
require members of Stock Exchanges
to keep a record of the serial numbers
of all securities dealt in each day,
would abolish the exchange clearing
houses and throw the machinery of
the financial world back 25 years" He
agreed to prepare an amendment
which would provide otherwise for an
accurate accounting of transactions by
brokers.
Boycsen declared the bill as drawn
would abolish short sales. which had
not been condemned by the Pujo
money trust" committee or by the
Hughes investigating committee of
New York.
America still is a borrowing ma
tion," he said The money saving ma
tons of the world like England.
France and Germany have much
money invested IN American securities.
We have TO get foreign capital to de-
velop our business.
ITO make it unlawful for brokers to
borrow securities in order to deal with
foreign bankers would impair these
transactions and put the foreign bank
ers eight or 10 days behind the Amer
lean market

PLEADS FOR REST DAY
IN MIDDLE OF week.

New York, Feb. S-The necessity for
and the economic significance of, "One
rest day in seven" were discussed at
the Saturday luncheon of the Repub-
lican Club Saturday. A physiological
argument for the day of rest was
made by John Mitchell, former second
vice president of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, who, quoting Profess
sor Irving Fisher of Yale. said that
the present working day kept men
and women in continual state of
over-fatigue, which was leading to
the use of means for the deadening Of
fatigue. the starting point in vi
cious circle" that could bring society
no good. He favored law which
would punish with fine and impris-
onmeut the forcing of AN employee to
work seven days a week.
Charming W. Cox, Republican floor
leader in the Massachusetts Assembly,
said it was suicidal policy for the state
to permit employers to keep men and
women at work for seven days in the
week.
James Beggs, president of the Must
cal Protective Union. spoke in favor
of the Saturday halfhoiiaay. saying
that this would give an opportunity for
recreation and at the same time dis
pose of the problem of filling the
churches on Sunday.
That a day of rest in seven and an
eight hour day increased the efficiency
of employees was the burden of

REPORTED SCHEME
WOULD DEFEAT HOME
RULE FOR IRELAND.

London, Feb. SIT is reported that
the latest Unionist device to force a
dissolution of Parliament and thus de-
feat the measure providing for home
rule for Ireland, is for the House of
Lords to reject the annual army bud
get bill. If this were done the army
would cease to exist and the govern
ment would be compelled to appeal to
the country.
1t is believed that such an extreme
course is hardly practicable and the
milder suggestion is said to be favored
of amending the bill in such manner
as to put the army out of existence in
Ireland and thus prevent it being en-
ployed to coerce Ulster.

0 'GORMAN RAPS
REPEAL IN A 3
HOUR ADDRESS
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Washington. d. c., May 7.--Sena-
tor O'Gorman. chairman OF the Inter-
oceanic canals committee, and leader
of the forces opposed to the repeal
of the toll exemption clause of the
Panama Canal act, gave the senate
today the legal. economic and politi-
cal reasons for his opposition.
In three-hour speech the senator
discussed exhaustiyely every phase
OF the subject. He discovered no
ground in international law which
would forbid exemption of American
coastwise ships from toll payment,
say behind the repeal movement the
han of the railroads and declared
that failure to impose tax could
not be called a subsidy.
The senator warned his Democrat
ic colleagues that to repeal the ex-
emption was to violate the pledges
oI the Baltimore platform and to re-
verse the verdict of the people when
they elected President Wilson last
November on that platform.
Senator O'Gorman said that mas
much as former Presidents Roose-
welt and Taft, and preceding con
gress agreed that coastwise vessels

should think twice before giving It's
approval to the repeal bill, for it
in turn might find itself reversed by
a congress yet to be elected
This question of tolls said the
senator. lis but an incident in a
great contest now in its initial
stage, which may determine the con-
troll of the Panama Canal for all
time. The construction of the Pan
anna Canal will rank among the
worlds wonders. but the opinion of
mankind will pronounce the surren-
der OF our sovereignty over 1t a
colossal blunder and triumph of
British diplomacy.
81 know there is vague suspicion
that diplomatic reasons require this
national abasement but my judg
ment, maturely formed and based
upon such information as is avail
able, is that the gravity of our inter
national relations has been grossly,
though unconsciously, exaggerated.
The American people want peace,
but they fear no power on earth.
Shadows cannot disturb a brave man.
They should not alarm brave and
intrepid people.
