REPARTEE ABOUT PENS
TAKES TIME OF HOUSE
Moors's Remark About Wilson
and Brotherhood Heads Gets
Democratic Answer


WASHINGTON. Sept 5.-"Pens" became
campaign issue today.
Because Representative J. Hampton
Moore. Of Philadelphia. referred yesterda y
70 the fact that President Wilson used four
pens In signing the eight-hour law for rail-
way employees and gave them to the heads
ofNthe four brotherhoods, Representative
Thomas J. Helm. Of Alabama. said
The gentleman from Pennsylvania didn't
want the trainmen to have the pens. The
engineers, iiremen and conductors went to
the White House with SCOT on their faces
and grease on their hands TO talk with the
president
The gentleman from Pennsylvania and
che other Republicans are used TO secret
star chamber sessions that they throw up
their hands now and cry. Lord God Of
Hosts, the old days are gone The gentle
man is sore because the President used four
pens In signing the bin.
II wonder what Roosevelt did with the
pen he used to write My dear Hartman
and invited him TO come over to read his
speech TO sec whether there was anything
in II he objected TO. I wonder what Taft
did with the pen used TO approve schedule
IL OF the Payne-Aldrich tariff act. He should
have given one pen to the head Of the
woollen trust and the other TO the mills at
Lawrence, Mass, where they were grinding
out the life blood or children"
Republicans and Democrats both laughed
at the oratory obviously intended for politi-
cal ammunition.
Representative Hchin said Representative
Moore was one OF the Republicans who
wanted the railroad strike to come"
Representative Moore asked Represent
ative Hehin whether he favored an eight
hour law for Alabama.
II am for the principle OF the elght-hour
law" he said.
Are you in favor Of an elght-hour law
on the farms Of Alabama?"
No" admitted Hehin. "If the gentle
man came from any other district than the
one he represents in Pennsylvania, he
would be sent to the farm" continued
Hefin.
