vote without more than certain
number OF hours debate. And the
chairman of the rules committee is
Representative Fobert Henry, OF Tex
as, acknowledgedly the leader OF the
pro-cotton legislation group.
There are several bills for the re-
lief OF the cotton growers, however.
One of these is the bill providing for
the licensing OF cotton warehouses.
and their inspection. This bill pass
ed the senate with a number of am
endments. so that It included not only
cotton, but grain. tobacco. naval
stores. canned salmon and several
other products.
The other piece of cotton legisla-
ton which apparently will be passed
without trouble consists OF amend
ment TO the federal reserve act. One
of these permits member banks to
keep all Of their reserves in the re-
gional reserve banks, and the other
permits the issuance of the equival-
ent of 100 per cent OF the unimpaired
capital and surplus of the bank in
emergency currency, instead OF only
80 per cent as under the present law.
Then there is the conservation pro-
gram in its many phases.
Fights were also expected today to
occur during this session on the riy-
ers and harbors. the public buildings.
and the good roads bill.
ship Purchase Bill.
The attitude of the president will
probably determine the fate OF the
ship purchase bin so far as the house
Is concerned. There is strong OPP
position to this measure in both hous-
es, and. while 1t was admitted today
that it would be easy enough to force
ii through the house by means of
rule. there is no assurance that the
president could force the bill through
the senate in the brief time which
will be available. Opposition in the
senate centers with those senators
who are intensely opposed to govern
ment ownership as a general prin-
ciple.
One OF the hottest fights expected
on the appropriation bills is that on
the armament question. The Euro
rean war has, in their own minds,
strengthened the arguments OF both
the little navy men and the big navy
men. The big navy men declare that
the suddenness of this war proves
emphatically the necessity Of being
prepared. The little navy men point
tn the destruction of battieships and
cruisers by submarines, and say:
why build battleships until we find
cut Il there is any way to protect
battlrship from submarines-ali ships
constructed along present lines may
be made obsolete any day by scme
development in this way"

Diplomacy In Secretary OF Labor
Labor Wars. Wilson to the conven-
ton Of the American
Federation OF Labor; and the secre-
tary is trades union man. Answer
ing the assertion that he has been
guilty OF partisanship in the conduct
, OF his office, he said:
III securing justice 10 those who
earn their living by the sweat OF their
face is partisanship. then count me a
partisan on the side OF the man that
labors"
Secretary Wilson says his depart
ment is performing diplomatic func-
tons. as 1t should do. 1t is as much
its duty to handle labor disputes in a
} diplomatic manner. as 1t is the duty
OF the state department TO handle In
ternational matters in a diplomatic
manner. And the secretary says.
What we want in handling labor
disputes is men who are experienced
and level-headed and who understand
the technicalities involved. In carry
ing out its work. the department takes
men who are experienced and have
the technical knowledge OF the en-
ployees' side and also men who are
experienced and have the knowledge
OF the employers side, and sends
them out to perform their work"
The Department OF Labor was es-
tablished for a definite purpose-to
see that labor gets justice. 1t was
necessary because labor has never
had justice. either in this country or
in any other. And it will never have
Justice so long as some men are per-
mitted TO monopolize the natural op-
portunities that labor must use in or
der to produce wealth. The world is
getting away from the idea that labor
is commodity. or a part Of the ma
chinery Of a plant That idea is ex-
pressed in the Clayton antitrust law,
which Secretary Wilson says is "the
greatest step taken by labor and for
labor in the last two generations"
1t is fortunate for the country that
William B. Wilson is the first Ameri-
can secretary of the Department OF
Labor. He is putting the department
on a firm foundation.-san Francisco

Diggs may be despicable enough,
but in this latest case, brought by
Mrs. Elizabeth Fearing, it appears
that Mrs. Pearing's 17-year-old
daughter was with Diggs in cafe
celebrating New Years eve and,
early in the morning, found herself
attacked in a convenient hotel room.
Maybe the public ought to shed
bitter tears of sympathy for the Pear
ings and rend Diggs some more. But

present the large engines are able to
haul only forty-five loaded cars
through the territory. but Stout has
invented a device which he attaches
to the piston and which gives more
power Provided the experiment is
a success, the new device will be
placed on all the Mallet engines own

mo INCREASE IN
LAND CHARGES

considerable apprehension on the
part OF the settlers on the Truckee-
Carson reclamation project as to the
disposition of the government on the
question of delinquent payments due
December 1 next, was relieved yes
terday by receipt of news from Sec
retary Lane assuring them that the
new reclamation extension act will
be based on. the original contract
price for land and not on the new
valuation. Amounts in arrears will
be extended over the 20 year period.
The telegram received by Senator
Newlands in response to an inquiry
is as follows:
Answering your wire of Septem-
Der 28 no increased charges will be
announced as to the Truckee- Carson
or any other project as to condition
precedent to the acceptance of the
terms of the Reclamation Extension
act. General public notice just issu-
ed, together with the form for ac-
ceptance of the terms of the act dis
dncuy provides that "the amount
heretofore fixed in the several public
notices may not be increased except
as provided in the Reclamation Ex-
tension act, Of which see Section A."
FRANKLIN X. LANE"
Section referred to provides for
an agreement between the secretary
Of the interior and majority of the
water right applicants affected by
any proposed increase. Increased
charges If any shall be added to the
construction charge and distributed
over the unpaid installments, but the
secretary in his discretion may agree
That the increase shall be paid in adj
ditional annual installments each of
which shall be at least equal to the
largest fixed installment and shall be
due and payable December of each
year subsequent to the year when the
final installment Of the construction
charge under the public notice, is due
and payable.
1t is said that the settlers contract
ed for the purchase OF water rights
at from $22 to $50 per acre payable
in ten installments. This year they
faced payments for two installments
on December 1. A new valuation OF
new unit fixed charges there at $50
per acre and the idea grew that the
extension of time would not be allaw-
ed except on the basis of $50 yaula-
ton.
The message calls attention merely
to the meaning of the new law and
the secretary's disposition with refer
ence to the exercise of his discretion.

mitted in the presence of street full

yesterday afternoon on the subject of
Civics. Mr.. Klein was well received
and enthusiastically listened to dur
ing his very interesting discourse.
His subject was handled in master
full way and his listeners were inn
pressed with the argument made
therein. Mr.. Klein dwelt on the fact
that the modern system of education
impressed to much theory on the
minds Of the young people and left
out much that is of great practical
Importance. He advocated the intro
duction of course of Domestic Arts
in High Schools and impressed the
Importance Of all courses in training
in the manual arts.
Both teachers and pupils of the
High School were delighted with Mr.

ering having him start a series Of
