Protesting that big business con-
Germs have made systematic raids on

ing in a lessening OF its force since
the armistice, Congressman Nolan
chairman OF the House committee. en-
tered q strong plea on behalf OF the
bureau. calling up the measure.
The Patent Once up to date has
produced a surplus In the Treasury In
excess of $4,000 600" Congressman
Nolan pointed out when he empha-
sized the fact that the revenues or
the afrce were In danger or falling
on unless Congress remedied con-
ditions.
Former Speaker Champ Clark de-
clared that II appeared to him that
under the bill the committee was
planning to absorb this surplus by
providing Sl.9++,74o for Increased
salaries and additional expenses for
the bureau.
The contention Mr.. Nolan vigor-

asked the girls when on the witness
stand II clothes other than their own

the case.
All through the hearing, which last

jcctions and noted exceptions TO cen,
tain testimony and manner OF pro-
cedure OF the commission and George
T.. Hart, OF counsel for the plAintins,
but he was told they made no dif-
ference TO the commission.
Pertinent Questions Barred.
At the opening OF the hearing, At
torney Bowies offered the defense's
answer which told Of the landlords

objected to by Attorney Hart, for the
plaintiffs. At this stage OF the pro-
ceedings Chairman oyster declared:
The commission Is not going to
hold any secret sessions. No not
like the school board" The answer
then WAS admitted.
However. later on when ATTORNEY
Bowles attempted to ask pertinent
questions OF the plaintiffs when thsy
were on the witness stand, the COM
mission UNANIMOUSLY objected with the
result 1t was not admitted.
The commission was told by the
plaintiffs that they paid $40 month
rent for the spartment-that when
