No. 100.

(C0NeQUt0) introduced the Committee
Report and said, Mr.. Chairman. AS
speaker of the Committee appointed by
the Colonial Council to report on this bill
| have the honor to submit the following
report, i am doing so today with feel
ing of regret. The Committee labored
with the intention of effecting an agree
ment between the Government and the
people. The site at Richmond was
agreed upon, and the Council thought if
by any means funds could be obtained
the project would be carried through.
We all had agreed that the Reserve
but when we were told that the fund
could not be increased we thought
it best to use it in the building of
the hospital. This morning the Commit
tee met and we were made aware by
Government Representatives that the
fund could not be expended and
that if even the Council voted the money
bill it would not obtain the sanction Of
the Governor. AS | see it, TIE question
before us now is, that we either have the
hospital in its present location or have
none at all.
The people have a right to be heard;
they have shown a great desire to coop
crate with the Government, and it IS not
unreasonable to expect that the Govern
ment would at least meet their wishes
half way on a matter of such great i'm
~portance. Without saying more | lay be-
fore the Council the Committees Report
for it's consideration and action.
Despatching Secretary (WjJiams) re
marked Mr.. Chairman. Prior to the
meeting of the Committee appointed by
the Colonial Council to further the Ad-
ditional Money Bill for Christiansted Hos
pital, | had written to the Governor in
regard to the probable desire of the peo-
pie and Of the committee meeting; and
unfortunately, through some delay in the
mail the letters did not reach the Gov
ernor until the following Tuesday. Hav-
ing received no reply | attended the meet
ing personally with DR.. Bailey and DR..
Jenkins; and thought at that time that
the Governor might be favOrably inclined
to the proposed change; and that the hos
pital might be located at Richmond. but
the Governor feels that the Reserve Fund
although small, should not be obligated;
and t e Chief Medical Director felt that
the location as prescribed in the original
bill was the most advisable, and this was
concurred in by Mr.. Pettigrew and Paw
master Beach from a stand point of
funds and they have come over for
the sole purpose of explaining the pro-
position and the reasons, so | trust that
the Colonial Council will understand

WANTS NATIONAL 8 HOURS

Washington-A national eight-hour
day beginning January l, 1921, is pro-
posed in a bill introduced in the
United States senate by Mr. Moses,
of New Hampshire. To meet con-
stitutional objections the bill applies
to any mine, quarry, mill, cannery,
workshop, factory or manufacturing
establishment engaged in production

author of the bill explains that it
would be similar to that of the Adam
son law of the railroads.
This legislation was passed by con-
gress in 1916, just prior to the date
set by the four railroad brotherhoods
for nationwide strike to enforce an
day.

CONGRESSMEN AND COMMAND
ERS.

Why should congress haggle about
comforting no .ors on the four men
who have had most to do with the
practical work of winning the war
Pershing, March, Sims and Benson?
1t is question of giving to Per.
shing, commander of the American
Expeditionary Force, and to March,
the chief Of staff, the permanent title
of general, and to Sims, commander
of the feet in the war zone, and Ben
son, chief of naval operations, the
full title of admiral.
Every other country has its gener-
ais and admirals, even though it may
have no army or navy worthy Of the
name Every other power actively
engaged in this war has given fitting
recognition to the men who were in
charge of its forces and Immediately
responsible for success or failure. Shall
congress refuse similar recognition to
the American commanders, who,
whatever their defects may be, GER
tainly performed their unprecedented
duties with more devotion and sue
cess than congress showed in attend
ing to it's own war tasks?
