PAGE SIX THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUX TELEGRA3I, UNDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1911). CONGRESS IS 10 : FIGHT FOR LABOR; NUMEROUS BILLS This Is the Result of the Su preme Court's Decision in the Celebrated Oanbury Hatters' Case. ANTI-TRUST LAW TO BE MODIFIED LITTLE Democrats Make Heavy De mands for Addresses Deliv ered in the Senate by In surgent Chieftains. (By Roderick Clifford.) Washington, Feb. 'Mi. When con gress met in extra session, March 15, last year, members, in whose districts labor unions are strong, lost no time Introducing bills to amend the Sher man anti-trust law so that it could not be applied to labor organizations; the United States supreme court, in th Danbury Hat case holding that the law applied to labor organizations. . Then numbers of bills were introduc ed to exempt labor organizations from the application of injunctions, to say . nothing of the many bills to amend the eight hour law, so as to have it apply to all labor engaged on government work doae under private contract. There was much talk at the time by the authors of these labor measures, but it gradually died out, and has just been revived. i The fight for the enactment of a law to free labor organizations from the operation on injunctions and the Sher man anti-trust law will open up on the floor of the house committee on inter state and foreign commerce reports the administration's bill amendatory of the Interstate commerce act, and when the judiciary committee reports a bill to amend the Sherman anti-trust law as recommended by the president. Then the members, who are looking for fa vors from labor organizations, will get busy and burden the Congressional Record with speeches laudatory of la bor. The record of the house shows that when the supply bills are well un der way the members who make a "grand stand play" for the labor voe get anxious, and lose no opportunity to let the country know how much they think of organized labor. Within the next two months labor speeches for campaign purposes will be the order of the day. For Campaign Material. , Just at this time the demand on the democratic congressional campaign committee for copies of the tariff speeches delivered in the Senate by La Follette, Dolliver and Cummins, is so great that it takes a number of clerks to fill the orders. Thousands of cop ies of these speeches are being sent broadcast, but principally into the Western and Middle West states. A number of the committee said today that the demand for the tariff speeches of these progressive senators was the best evidence that the tariff would be the chief issue in the campaign next (all. An Appropriation Bill. : When the legislative executive and judicial appropriation bill comes up in the House for consideration there is some talk that a "reformer" may throw a "bomb" by offering an amendment requiring secretaries to remember to be sworn in and have their names plac ed upon the pay roll, as with other house employes. .

Roosevelt is now on the last stage of his African journey. Emerg ing from darkest central Africa, he has struck the White Nile, famous in an cient history as the source of the Nile river, which casts its rich, silt-laden waters on the thirsty, arid lands of Egypt. The White Nile, until recent years, was a sealed book, so far as the white man was concerned. It had been for centuries under the dominion of the most fanatical of all Mohammedans. Soudan Arabs, and the dog of a Chris tian who broke through the frontier rarely lived to tell of the country the stream drained. It wa3 Lord Kitche ner, who routed the Mohammedan army hip and thigh at Khartoum in 1894, who threw open the book, and today you travel by steamboat from Cairo clear to Central Africa in safe ty. The Nile rarely carries on its bosom such a distinguished guest as it now bears. Years and years and years ago Cle opatra loved to float down its pleas ant waters in her silk-covered barge. She never wandered as far as the White Nile, though. But another great queen did often travel the waters on which T. R. is floating. That was way back in the days of Solomon, and the queen was the peerlessly beautiful queen of She ba. From Shendi, a few miles down the Nile, north of Khartoum, Sheba's queen went to meet the wisest of men and Arabic tradition has it that Solo mon returned the visit. The domains of the Abyssinian king reputed descendant of a son born to the royal visitor and his queenly host e8ss, lie just east of the White Nile. Slaves of Congo. To the southwest lies the Congo, with its bleeding mass of outraged slaves. When the party left Gondok oro they left the forests through which Livingstone, Stanley and other famous African explorers blazed the path for civilization's progress. The Rooseveltian launch will glide along the land of the Kordofans, a barren waste for six months of the year, and a perfect wilderness of veg etation and water during the remain der. It is now, and will be until the rainy season starts in june, a dried-up, sun-baked desert, peopled with nomad ic tribes of Arabs and Bergers. The jaunt down the Nile from Gon dokoro will not be by any means de void of its exciting features. Col. Roosevelt has not gotten out of the ; dark spot of the continent and still , stands in the shadow of danger; he is, members are allowed "not more than $125 per month for the pay of a private secretary, for so much thereof as may be required for such service." The sec retaries are annual, that is their ser vice can be continued for a year, if needed; and if not employed the money is turned back into the treasury unless certified by the member that he has ex pended it for "clerk hire." It is com mon talk that some members divide the pay allowed for secretaries among several employes, and thus add to the political strength at home. There is no means of knowing from any official record, the names of the men or women, who are employed by members as secretaries. The pur pose of the proposed amendments is to turn on the light and see just who is not living up to the letter of the law. This condition does not prevail in the senate, where senators' secretaries are required to take the oath of office and are paid by the disbursing officers. This is a reform that has been talkod of for several years, but no member has shown any disposition to press it until now. Bishop Scores Garfield (Philadelphia Press.) "If Mr. Pinchot means by the con servation of resources the policy that was pursued by former Secretary of the Interior Garfield, in my opinion the government might as well build a stone wall around Alaska and shut ev erything out." This statement was made recently by the Rev. Peter Trimble Rowe. bishop of the Protestant Episcopal church in Alaska, who is in the city for the pur pose of delivering several lectures on the life and character of the laud where he has lived end worked for the last ten years. Bishop Rowe, although not in sym pathy with the policy of former Secre tary Garfield, refrained from saying that he was in accord with Secretary Ballinger, but he did say the govern ment should lease such natural depos its as coal, making such restrictions, however, as would keep the grants out of the hands of extensive combinations. "I believe." he said, "that such nat ural deposits as coal should be leased by the government, but under such reasonable conditions that capital will not be deterred from operating I think it would be well if we could have a development in Alaska like that which has taken place in the Canadian i northwest, where the rentals or roy-; alties to the government were suffi cient to develop the whole country by a splendid system or roads so that one individual or one corporation was not benefited by it, but the people of the whole country. "I think we are coming to see that the great resources of the country should be so administered by the gov ernment that the people at large should j receive the benefit from them. They belong to the people and not to the i lucky finder the 'lucky Swede,' as the term goes in Alaska, who simply stumbles on things and then appropri ates them." Upon being asked whether the re sources of Alaska are as great as pic tured, the bishop replied: "Yes, greater.- -We are just beginning to guess at what is there."

While there is an abundance of game big and little within easy reach from the river, it is hardly possible that Roosevelt will give much time to hunting, for the animals are such as he has already killed, and there would be little or no inducement for the par ty to spend much time going after them. The launch by which the Roosevelt party is descending the Nile is the private pleasure yacht of the sirdar of Egypt, Sir R. Wingate. Egypt is nominally an independent country un der the rulership of the khedive, but the real ruler is England, and Win gate is England's man-on-the-job. Smoker and lunch Saturday, March 20.

The next regular meeting, held Sat urday, March 20, will.be election night and it is urged upon every member to turn out and vote. Delegates to the national convention will be voted on at this time and every member of the post should consider it his duty to see that the proper men are sent to the im portant meeting of the national associ ation. It is reported that the hatchet was buried by all T. P. A.'s last Tuesday. 5ome of the local post, however, have their little ax to grind- Chas. Beck was In Cincinnati during the week, looking after purchasers for his new, shoe store which he will open shortly. Charlie will quit the road entirely and devote his entire time to the shoe trade. The T. P. A. boys are glad to find one member now and then who has nerve enough to forsake the dusty hard pike. Good luck to Beck Is the verdict rendered by Post C. Lee Ashley picked up his grip last week and made a flying trip to South Charleston, Ohio, where he closed a deal with a party for ten thousand dol lars worth of the Westcott autos. Mr. Ashley reports the prospects for the Westcott cars as being fine and antic ipates a large business this spring and summer. Harry Reeves has accepted a posi tion with his old firm, The Under wood Candy Co., of Dayton, and will again appear on the road. Harry will have the same territory he formerly had before he resigned to enter the clothing business. He will continue to make Richmond his headquarters.

Wallace Teegarden and Tom Wil liams returned from Muncie last night where they attended a large opening of the firm of Newhouse A: Sons. According to reports received from the different boys scouting after bus iness on the road, trade has been some what off during the past two weeks. Weather conditions are attributed as the cause of the sudden let up in busi ness the country people being unable to come into the towns during the re cent storms, and the merchants find ing themselves shy on customers as the result. However, conditions looking to the future, were never brighter, and all branches of trade are anticipating a big business during the coming spring and summer. Prices on all classes of goods are firm, with the mar ket having an upward tendency rather than downward. With the weather once settled trade will enter into a very active period.
