BRANDElS PROBERS GET
CHARGES AND DEFENSE
Documentary Evidence on Both
Sides Laid Before SEN
ate Committee

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.--After sorting
over pile of documents, letters, tele.
grams, charges and counter.charges, and
discussing methods of procedure, the sub
committee investigating the fitness OF
Louis u. Brandeis to be Associate Justice
of the United States Supreme Court ad-
journed until Saturday morning without
taking definite action.
The committee intends TO digest the
documents laid before 1t before issuing
subpoenas for witnesses TO appear for or
against Mr. Brandeis II is probable that
a method of procedure will be outlined
Mt the Saturday meeting so that an early
report to the complete Judiciary Commit.
tee can be made.
Among the most important documentary
evidence was that said to have been sub
mitted through Senator Lodge OF Massa-
chusetts. This is understood to have con-
sisted mainly OF documents, made public
from time to time i'm recent years, show
ing Mr.. Brandels' legal connections in
New England cases. The purpose of
placing these before the committee, 1t
was explained, was to show that MIR.
Brandels was ION both sides" of about
six important cases in Massachusetts,
courts.
Senator Hollis of New Hampshire and
Representative Oglesby of New York are
salo to have laid important facts before
the committee in support of Mr.. Brandeis
ano designed to show his fitness for the
position.
1t was reported today that Mr.. Brandels
will go before the subcommittee personally
90 answer the charges made against him
in connection with his relations with the
so-called shoe machinery trust and In the
railroad rate cases before the Interstate
Commerce Commission for which he was
special counsel. The opposition to Mr..
Brandeis will be led by Clifford Thorne,
Railroad Commissioner Of Iowa, and L. a.
Coolidge, treasurer of the United Shoe
Machinery Company.
Pressure to force confirmation will be
very strong. Letters and kilograms from
labor leaders and labor organizations.
philanthropists and leading attorneys are
pouring in on the committee and on all
Individual Senators. Many of the tcle.
grams characterize the opposition to con.
firmation of Brandeis as due to racial
prejudices."

SUPPLY OF PAPER.
SMALLER NEWSPAPERS IN PnospEor.

-----
If, as seems highly probable, the Govern
ment withdraw ships from carrying goods
which are not essential for national purposes,
one Of the earliest effects will be to reduce
the size of the newspapers.
Both pulp and paper are brought to this
country from America and the Continent,
aud if the number Of vessels used for thus
purpose were restricted to any considerable
extent there would soon be insutfic emit ma
terlal in the country to print newspapers OF
the present size. As yet the war has not bad
a very serious effect as far rs the SIZE OF the
English newspapers is concerned, lu the
Allied countries the SIZE was reduced lmme-
diatelv on the outbreak OF hostlllties but IN
this country, after the first momeut"ry "nNl-
ely when a scarcity of paper was threatened
th~ supply which continued to come IN was
sufficient to Justify the publication OF news
papers Of normal siza.-IGDseS.

TROUBLE IN BIRDLAND.

The recent suowstorms have silenced the
birds. Snow is a mystery to them. re"
birds of the present generation have ever
seen it before, Aocient crows tell that IL
was a common trouble of the winters OF their
youth, but they are not believed. The birds
are lost and homeless.
Even the thrushes and blackbirds do not
realise that they have only to scratch under
the bushes to come to warm wet earth and
Int worms. QusrreIs arise between the OPP
timIs's and peasimist5. The optimlsts say
tue snow Will 80 in five minutes, the pessI-
mists say that it win last forever, The thrnSn-
es puff out their chests and sit sulk7. The

BIG COLLARS ONLY SOLD.

The only collars, says the Out filter, for
which there is any demand nowadays are
those Of the larger sizes, 16, II, and Is inch
8s.
The explanation does not appear to be IN
the theory that as a nation we are growing
necks but in the fact that millions OF men IN
khaki are nc longer buying collars and that
the only buyers are middleaged men whose
necks are normally larger. Perhaps the
popularity Of golf in the last decade has de-
veloped the neck, and perhaps, also officers
have found that they take a larger size IN
soft collars after trainirg.-46id.

Chester Park

People of discrimination have
voted Chester Park their amuse-
ment headquarters for the 1916
season. No doubt of this Is left In
the minds of those who have OBJ
served that even though all the
other summer amusement resorts
In Cincinnati and vicinity, have
opened their season, 1t Is to- Chester
that the large crowds hecks in mum
bers that seem to increase daily.
Of course this Is readily accounted
for by the fact that Manager I. M
Martin Is again exercising his lin.
eral policy in providing superior
entertainment features. No other
resort In this section or In the
whole country, for that matter
has as many new amusement fea
lures as has Chester. And the fac
that they are free, does not detrac
In the least from their high stan
dard. The Chester bathing beacf
offers new attractions this year
which have proven irresistible te
thousands of bathing enthusiasts
The new water Merry 60 Rount
installed as a free attraction fo
women bathers, has become one o
the most popular of the many fire,
aquatic amusement devices. Th
closing of the Queen City Beacl
has brought new friends to tn,

Want An Investigation.

Milwaukee, June "a number
of local manufacturers have peti.
toned the state industrial com nais-
sion to begin an investigation of
hours Of labor throughout the mid
die west with a view TO showing
that working hours in Milwaukee
are as short as elsewhere. Officers
Of the Machinists' unier have noti-
fed the commission that they will
fcrego for the present, their shorter
hour demand and assist the com
mission in this investigation on
condition that the inquiry includes
the financial and industrial cendi-
tions Of all the shops, and that the
employers be compelled to produce
their books and "other evidences
necessary to produce all the facts. +"
The workers, however, have no
intention of permitting the en-
Ployers to delay, by length In
vestigations, labor's demand for an
eight hour day or to empower the
commission to make edicts,
Frank J. Weber, busines agent
OF the Milwaukee Federated Trades
Council, said:
IF employers think they can de-
lay the demand of labor In this way
they find themselves badly fooled.
The state industrial commission
has done much good. / do not be-
lieve. however, that ii should be
given the power to force arbitra-
tion. That should be arranged at
a roundtabje conference between
employers and employees, where
both can talk over matters, make
suggestions and cooperate for their
mutual welfare.

"prsfit Sharing" Declined.

Everett, Wash, June. 2. Strik-
ing shingle weavers in this city de-
clined the offer of q mill owner to
establish profit sharing scheme
instead of the old wage scale which
was promised these workers last
year. Attached to this profit
sharing plan was an agreement that
the shingle weavers were net to be-
long to union.
Last year the mill owners pro.
missed TO reinstate the old wage
scale when the market improved
Now some of them refuse because
of the high price of logs. The
shingle weavers insist on living

broiled in the fight between loggei

Hattars' Relief Fund.

Washington, June 2. Up to and
including Wednesday, May "A, A.
F. of L. Secretary Frank Morrison
has received S135, 590.73 for the
benefit of the Danbury hatters.
Last week the executive council
of the American Federation of La
Dor issued a circular to all trade
unions In which attention is called
to the effect of exaggerated state
ments in the public press on the
amount of money that was being
raised Immediately following Jan
uary q, the date set by the A. F.
of l.. convention for all workers to
contribute the wages of an hour s
labor 70, the benefit of the hatters.
Because these statements created
the impression that more than
enough money was contributed, the
A. F. of L. executive council urges
all unionists who have not contri-
buted the pay for an hours labor
to do so on June 10.
All moneys are to be forwarded
TO Secretary Morrison.

Ststson Strikers Firm.

Philadelphia, June 2.-Despite
every attempt to ignore the strike
of Stetsen Hat company employees
by local newspapers, these workers
are as determined as ever TO over
threw the system of paternalism
that has been forced on them for
years. At their last meeting Ii was
decided that ''all of the Stetson
strikers, soft hat fnishers, the girls
from the trimming department and
the little apprentice boys who
walked out in sympathy with the
haishers" secure work elsewhere.
Mediators represeting the United
States department of labor are at
tempting to settle the strike, but
the spirit of absolutism so throu-
oughly permeates the msnage ment
that they are still hopeful the strik-
eYs will TASK for their jobs
These workers were unorganized
when they struck, but are accorded
every assistance by the local trade
union movement
