New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., Dec. 16.
BY unanimous vote to-day the Senate
approved the resolution of Senator Cal
der IN. ". Republican, authorizing the
special committee on reconstruction to
employ counsel and to make a nation
wide investigation of the building trades
and allied concerns. BY agreement the
salary of counsel was limited to $4,000.
This action was taken after Senator
Thomas (Col.), Democrat, had severely
denounced the statement made yesterday
in New York before the Lockwood COM
mittee by Eugene Grace, head of the
Bethlehem Steel Company. that his con-
Germ would not sell steel to concerns
which did not adhere to the open shop
policy
Commencing highly the proposal to
have Congressional investigation, Sem
ator Thomas said 'the combination of
steel producers which proposes to die
tate to purchasers the course they shall
pursue with regard to employment dis
closes a combination as vicious, as I'M
holy as indefensible as any combina-
ton he ever heard of. He believed, he
said, that Congressional investigation
such as is contemplated would result in
the punishment of profiteering. which he
said was Infamous"

Today Talk
BY George Matthew Adams
YOUR JOB TODAY


This Is a big world-but It isn't too
big for every useful man or woman.
The other day, friend took me
thru a great museum. l saw the wax
figures of workers of a day several
hundred years ago. I saw great rocks
with millions Of different forms buried
In their bulks. | saw skeletons of
animals so huge that they occupied
big rooms by themselves. l saw the
evidence Of years-and years.
And l felt like a very small human
being
But as thought 1t all over, I said to
myself that l had job to do just as
important as the greatest of the dead
and gone. And l said that every man
or woman has a job that must needs
fit every day.
You are very important-no matter
what your job and no matter who you
are.
We all fit into a vast time. Like
the seemingly unimportant piccalo
player in the large band, every man
and his work would be missed if he
shirked or did not do his best. The
whole is always dependent upon it's
most insignificant part
If you simply try to go thru your day
as easily as possible, if you leave
things undone which should have been
done, you will have to pay a penalty
and everybody, at some time or other,
will feel the effect Of your careless
toll.
Do your job well. Do it better than
you think anybody else could do it.
Imagine a thousand gods looking down
upon you.
The little coral gives his body to the
great reef. In like manner be glad to
give your heart and soul to the vast
work of the world. That is life and
that is greatness.
il,
