SAYS CONDITION OF
 WORKER WEAKENED
Representative Lewis Testi- fies in Probe of Philan-
 thrOpic Institutions

New York, January 19.-Repi esentative David J. Lewis of Maryland chairman of the House labor committee, testifyins today at the first session of the investi- gation by the federal commission on in- dustrial relations into the great phlan- thropic foundations and the causes of in- dustrial unrest, declared he believed the condition of the individual worker had been greatly weakened since formation of the large American corporations Two other witnesses, Ida N:. Tarbell, author and investigator, and Basil M. Manley secretary of the commission, also testi- fled today.
 MT. Lewis occupied the witness stand the entire afternoon. He argued at length for government ownership of teie- phone and telegraph systems, presenting figures designed to show that the cost of both would be materially lessened and the workers would be paid well If not better.
 Questioned as to what the government would do should the employees of q ''postalized telegraph service demand action upon certain things collectively, Mir Lewis replied:
 neTe WOulu De DO Ilecu TUT lhcui u act collectively. The purposes of tha government are ethical There is no need of underpaying as sometimes develops in privately owned ana managed cor porations. Unions have no purposes among government employees as do they among employees of private owned cor porations."
 Miss Tarbell said large corporations were interesting themselves more and more in the welfare of their employees and cited the United States Steel cor poration. She advocated scientific man. agement in shops and establishment of an eight-hour day. Referring again to the Steel corporation,s she said she be- lieved only about 25 per cent of it's em- ployes now were working 12 hours a day. Mir. Manley quoted figures designed to show that 50 per cent of the corporations employees were working 12 hours a day.
 Jacob Hollander of Johns Hopkins uni versity and Jacob H. Schiff, August Bel mont and Adolph Lewisohn, New York financiers, have been summoned to testify tomorrow.

RESUME WORK ON RURAL CREDITS Senate Democrats Plan To Report Bill in the Near
 Future

Washington, January 19.-Although there
 may be no opportunity to enact rural
 credits legislation at this session. Senate
 democrats today resumed activity on this
 subject with a view to reporting a bill in the near futcre.
 In accordance with the resolution adopt
 cd by the democratic caucus Monday
 night. declaring 1t the sense of the Sen
 ate den ocrats that a rural credits sys- tenn bill be pressed at 'the earliest prac-
 tical date," the banking committee today
 decided to get such a measure before the
 Senate. The committee tomorrow will
 take up the bill known as the Hollis bill,
 framed by the joint banking subcommit-
 tee of the Senate and House last sum
 mer.
 Some leading democratic senators in
 sisted that an extra session of Congress
 could not be avoided. Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia declared an extra session in the spring or summer absolutely cer- tain. Those who hold that view argue that there is no necessity for immediate action on appropriation bills. and that time therefore can be given rural credits legislation. That plan will be urged at a party caucus in the near future. President Wilson, who suggested in his annual message that there would not be time to take up rural credits at this ses- sion, told callers today it was his under standing that the Senate democrats did not mean to infer by their caucus action tha. a rural credits measure should be rushed through at this time.
 The Hollis bill would establish a rural ! credits system under general control of 1 the federal reserve board. An executive | officer of the system would be known as | the farm loan commissioner, and loans would be made on first mortgage and first | liens on farm lands, through associations organized ir the agricultural district.

wrote down the accounts as reported
to her by her brother in the day
book, or by the employees.
Mr.. Zechiel then took the stand, and
told of repairing the car owned by
Harris and Craney on three separate
occa sions,- twice at the garage, and
once in Norwich. The first time a
broken transmission, case was re-
paired, and on the other occasions
stripped gears were replaced with new
one ordered from New York. The
first repairs were made when he was
absent. Some six or eight days later
a telephone call from Norwich was
received by him to the effect that the
car was not running right, and he sent
two men there to look it ov..--. The
second and low speed gears were
found broken, and he personally riv :
etad on rev gears Later re heard
again fcof1 the defendants that things
Were not right, and he told them to
send or bling the car up to the garage.
This was DONE and the gears were
again found broken. No charge was
made for any repair work done after
the first complaint.
On cross examination, Mr.. Zachiel
said he was a mechanic working on
marine and automobile engines in
Brooklyn previous to coming to Will
mantle. He said "speedoline" oil was
used in lubricating the car on one of
the occasions on which it was repair
ed, but denied that there was any
sawdust of cork chips mixed with the
oil. He said the car was in thorough
repair when sent to Norwich. On re-
direct examination Mr.. Zechie1 attri-
buted the broken geas to incompetent
driving.
Leon Walden. foreman for the
plaintiff during the spring and sum-
mer of 1914, told of the first repair
work done, and identified his entries
in the day book of the plaintiff. He
said he, served an apprenticeship of
four years with the Willimantic Ma
chine company, and worked for the
Turnbull Auto Co and the Natchaug
Mr.. Zechiel. He left his employ be-
fore the car was repaired the second
time.
Arthur Johnson, now of Nowrich,
where he is employed as chauffeur, a
former employee at the garage, testi-
fed also to the work done On the car,
and to the final delivery in Nowich, at
which time he drove the car down,
took Messers Harris and CraHey
aboard, and drove them to PIaintield,
where he caHeht the Providence train.
The machine was in good working
order when he left it with them.
Johnson was subjected to a lengthy
| coss examination as to his Qualif1ca-
| tins, the work done on the car es-
pecially the trip to Plainfield, made
all the way on high gear. although
| witness stated this was not because
it was impossible or hard TO use the
second gear, but just because there
proved no need of SO doing. He ad-
| mitted the owners complained OF

| them it was the UNIVERSAL Joint which
| caused that. Witness could not re-
member in many Instances where he
was pressed for reply, but his main
testimony remained about us given or

question, and his testimony was main
