Escapes In Senate

Washington, March By vote OF
SO to 33 the senate rejected the ma
jority report of its judiciary commit
tee which criticised the department OF
Justice for inaction against the alum
mum trust and censured the attorney
general for his ignorance of litigation
Senators Blease of South Carolina
and Bruce of Maryland voted with the
majority. II they voted with the
minority party and independent Re
publicans, the judiciary committee
would be sustained by a vote of 30
to 81.
Opponents of the judiciary commit
tees report insisted that the senate
is attempting TO substitute itself Tor
the department of justice, and that
Impeachment proceedings against IN
action by officers of the department Is
the solution.
In the debate ii was stated that Sec
retary of the Treasury Mellon al his
brother control one-third of the alum
mum company's stock.
Senator Walsh led the fight for the

Alien Registration
Opposed by Business

Washington, March 9.-Registration
of aliens is opposed by the committee
of immigration of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States.
Several registration bills before

more harshly than criminals. They
would have to register in specified dis
triets under penalty of fine and i'm
prisonment. II they left the district
they would have to report just as un-
der European espionage systems.

Aswel of Louisiana introduced a bill
which provided that aliens be finger
printed In Mr.. Aswell's pending bill,
finger-printing is excluded, but this
can be enforced by regulations which
the department of labor will be em-
powered to make.

council maintain its policy of watch
full vigilance to defeat any measure

Will Americas Bankers
Favor Free Trade Plan

Washington, March 9.--Are inter
national bankers preparing to accept
the free trade theory in the hope that
the importation Of foreign-made goods
will make it pssible for them to Sc
cure payment of European loans?
Possibilities of a tariff split be-
tween manufactures and the bankers
is a subject for many quiet discussions
in the nations capital. This talk has
been renewed since an economist EN-
ployed by large New York bank said
that the remedy for the farmers stu
alton 'is a reduction of the tariff on
manufactures
This plea to reopen the tariff has
aroused the Washington Post, admin
istration spokesman, which says:
"There is something mysterious, IN
such an attitude. Is it possible that
the bank is speaking in behalf Of
clients interested in foreign industrial
securities ?n

Jurist Stopped Strike
I'm 1000 Dress Shops

New York, March 9.--Acting as
voluntary mediator, Supreme Court
Justice Proskauer averted strike oi
10000 members Of the international
Ladies' Garment Workers union.
They were forced on the verge OF a
walk-out By their employers disre-
gard for an agreement.
The new contract provides for the
immediate appointment Of an impair
tial chairman to adjust disputes which
can not be settled by direct negotia-
ton. This is an arrangement long
sought by the union. If both parties
fail TO select a chairman, Justice
Proskauer will assist.
Prior to the adjustment the manu-
facturers asked Judge Proskauer to
enjoin the workers from striking.
Instead of granting the injunction, the
jurist used his influence for peace.

the agricultural problems and in
part said:
This business Of aiding the farmer

il is not matter for mere furry IN

tai right of the greatest industry IN
these United States. | hope with all
my heart that the one Of the many
bills introduced In congress since the
New Year. which will best serve TO
relieve the existing condition of the
industry, will A enacted into Law at
this session of congress-. You may be
sure this wish is tincere. But even
if good law iS~enaeted this year,
that will not be enough 10 assure the
farmer that his industry is safe.
II tepeat what ! have said many
times in this campaign-and | feel
that cannot emphasize it too strong
ly-that what the farmer, TO survive,
must have is an established policy for
his continuing protection
He also gave good illustration OF
what the farmer is up against today
For instance he stated, several years
|
ago the farmer could buy the best set
of harness for $1,000 and corn was
s5 cents bushel; today the same set
of harness costs the farmer $72.o0 and
corn is 55 cents bushel, which is o
wonderful illustration of the farmers
situation.
Col. Smith reviewed his ideas OF

that he Is opposed to the court an,
believes that tssA matter should be lef

Anti-UniOn Program
Doesn't Bring Trade

Charleston, W. Va, March 9.-Busi-
ness men in this city are asking what
became of "high wages" non-union
coal operators say their employees
have earned.
The business mne joined the oper-
ators in establishing the anu-union
shop, but the latter fail TO zee the pre-
dicted increase In business, as com
pared with union conditions. Instead,
trade from the coal fields has dwindled
and empty store rooms and bank
ruptcy proceedings are the rule.
There is no question that the an
thracite strike brought coal produc-
ton in the Kanawha valley to ca
pacity figure, but the business of re-
tail merchants in every line in this
city Is the lowest in a quarter of u
century.

let is that il does not tell the whole
truth as TO the entire record ami that
it deliberately falsihes as to how the
Senator voted on one bill.
Any uniformed reader of the
pamphlet would be led TO believe that
Senator Mckinley voted favorably to
labor on the bill to repeal the Federal
eight-hour law as applied to the
lsthmus of Panama on January 81,
1906. The record as complied by the
A. +. of L. shows him TO have voted
unfayorably.
Mckinley also failed to mention the
five times that he voted unfavofably
and the ii times when he was record
ed as absent and not voting.
Attack Enrages Smiths Friends.
Colonel Smiths friends are hot un-
der the collar over an attack made BY
Senator Mckinley through the Chi
cago Defender, a Negro publication
with a large circulation. The editor of
the paper asked Senator Mckinley
why it was that the Illinois Traction
System, formerly owned by the cap
italist-Senator, Disseminated against
Negroes when hiring employees. Among
other things, Senator Mckinley had
the following to say, according to Ed
itor Abbott:
"Most important of all, though, is
the fact that the interurban lines, the
railroads and sleeping car lines are
all under the control of the Public
Utilities Commission of the State of
Illinois, of which Col. Frank l.. Smith
is chairman.
Colonel Smith is a candidate
against me, and if there is any dis
elimination against your people,
Colonel Smith, and not myself, is re-
sponsible."
Say Senator Told Falsehood.
Colonel Smiths friends, some OF
them well known lawyers, say that
Senator Mckinley uttered deliberate
falsehood when he made that state
ment. The courts, and not the Illinois
Commerce Commission, would have
jurisdiction over such matter, they
point out. spesesssr sr,,-,. s
The Mckinley managers continue 70
circulate literature not bearing the
union label. Not only that, but some
of it does not bear an imprint show
ing by whom it was issued. rms Is
in direct violation Of the law, carry
ing penalties of from 500 to 5000
fine or Imprisonment of from 80 days
to six months, or both fine and I'M

Several samples of such literature
have been sent to the Smith head
quarters.
