OPPOSED BREAKING The RULES
(By F. D. Lander, Jr.)

Washington, Feb. 9.-The Congress
of the United States probably never
again will face a situation SO fraught
with human interest as that written
into last Thursdays record about Con-
gressman Bob" Bremner's bill for the
creation Of a bureau of labor safety
in the Department of Labor.
The question that presented ITSELF
question more serious than may at
first appear to the casual reader-was
whether the House of Representatives
should adhere strictly to its rules or
should relent long enough to inform
dying member of that body that the
bill in which his whole heart was cent
cred had passed.
But for the objection of Congressman
Sisson, of Mississippi, the Bremner
bill for labor safety probably would
have passed the house, and Bob"
! Bremner, an original Woodrow Wilson
Democrat from New Jersey, whose
courageous fight against cancer has at
tracted the attention Of the whole
! world, might have ended his days in
the happy satisfaction that his efforts
Of many years to create a bureau that
would insure safety to workers in fac.
tories and sweat shops had not been
in vain.

Mr.. Sisson evidently regarded the
rules of the House as supreme and
objected to consideration of the bill
Other members shook his hand after
he had done it, so there might have
been an objection of Mr.. Sisson hat
kept his seat. But the bill could no
have been considered except by unan
imous consent, SO Mr.. Sisson's objec
ton ended it.
