DEBATE ON FLOOR IS HOT
Xtepuhlican Leaders Insist Demo
crats Are Trying to Force Issue
Which May Lead Amer
ica Into War.
WASHINGTON. March 6. On the eve
of what friends of the Administration
have planned as the final fignt to end
agitation in the House over the ques
tion of armed merchant ships, debate
on the subject broke out on the House
floor late today and continued hotly
for more than an hour. When it was
over there seemed to be more of a
partisan alignment than at any time
since the issue arose.
Representative Mann, of Illinois, the
Republican leader, and Representative
Lenroot, of Wisconsin, Republican
member of the rules committee, gave
notice that they would opVose the
rule tomorrow under which It is pro
posed to table the McLemore warning
resolution after 90 minutes of debate
on the rule and four hours' discussion
of the resolution itself. On the other;
hand. Chairman Flood, of the foreign
affairs committee, who has oeen under
stood personally to favor a warning
resolution, voiced an appeal to all
patriotic Congressmen to stand by the
President.
Absent Democrats Summoned.
Realizing this task ahead of them,
the Administration whips sent out calls
to all absent Democrats within reach
to hurry to Washington in time for the
vote tomorrow. The President's sup
porters believe that a large majority
of the Democrats, as well as man Re
publicans, will stand together to put
through the rule and kill the McLemore
resolution. There will be formidable
opposition, both in and out of the
party, however, and the influence of
AVilliam J. Bryan is being taken into
account as a big factor to be dealt
with.
f Fourteen Representatives and two
Senators met at lunch today with Mr.
Bryan in the private dining-room of a
hotel near the Capitol and discussed af
fairs generally. What happened there
remained a secret, except that Repre
sentative Bailey, of Pennsylvania, who
was the host, said no general agreement
was reaoned on what action should be
taken on the armed-ship question.
Bryan Remains Silent.
"Several of the diners asked Mr.
Bryan for a direct answer as to what
they should do," Mr. Bailey said, "but
it was not forthcoming. While all of
us felt strongly favorable to a warning
resolution, we do not want to do any
thing that would embarrass the Admin
istration at the present time."
Those present were Senators Kern
and Vardaman and Representatives
Loberk. Stephens and Shallenberger,
of Nebraska; Ayers and Helvering, of
Kansas: Bailey and Steels, of Penn
sylvania: . Slayden and Callaway, of
Texas: Hansagy of Missouri, Gordon of
Ohio, Tavenner of Illinois, Huddleston
of Alabama. Dill of Washington, Sisson
of Mississippi. Tillman of Arkansas and
Van Dyke of Minnesota.
Mr. Bryan left tonight for Wilming
ton, Del., to deliver a lecture.
Mr. Mann Loudly Cheered.
Speakers on both sides of the warn
ing question were applauded during to
day's debate until it was difficult of
determination which sentiment was the
stronger. When Mr. Mann vigorously
protested that the question never should
have been thrown into the House
and criticising Americans ' for taking
passage on armed ships, expressed the
hope that such an act would never
draw the country into war, he was
cheered heartily by the whole House.
The first step toward getting the
Mt-I.emore resolution before the House
was taken by Representative Fosa, of
Illinois, a Republican, at the request
of the Democratic members of the rules
committee, it is said. He asked that
it be placed on the calendar, and It was
done without debate. A short time
later the rules committee reported its
rule and the House, relieved of its long
days of anxiety as to when debate
would start, settled down contented to
await the official opening at 11 o'clock
tomorrow morning, the time set by the
rules committee.
Mr. Gardner Launches Attack.
Mr. Gardner did not wait. The
House was in the committee of the
whole considering the homestead bill
when ! heard the report and, obtain
ing: time for a speech, he launched into
a vigorous attack of the rules commit
tee, declaring that its failure to re
port a straight warning resolution
cpuld be attributed only to partisanship
i'jind fear of the resu( of such a vote.
"I hope to see the vote come directly
fjn the question of adoption or rejection
.f the McLemore resolution," Mr. Gard-
; ner declared, "because it has been her
, aided to the world that our action on
! that resolution is to bo the test show

Public Utterances Quoted and Rec
ord of Argument When Counsel
for Brewers Is Submitted.
WASHINGTON. March 6. Rev. James
Cannon, Jr., of Virginia, chairman of
the executive committee of the Anti
Saloon League of America, protested
against confirmation of Louis D.
Brendeis' nomination to the Supreme
Court today before the Senate investi
gating committee because of statements
made by Mr. Brandeis in 1891, when he
was counsel for the Protective Liquor
Dealers' Association and the New Eng
land Brewers' Association before the
Massachusetts Legislature.
Senator Chilton charged that this in
cident occurred 25 years ago, and that
there was quite a difference between
the public attitude toward the liquor
question then and today. Dr. Cannon
insisted, however, that Mr. Brandeis'
public utterances had failed to show
any change in his position. He said
the objection was not based so much
on the fact that Mr. Brandeis appeared
for the liquor interests and opposed
pendng legislation as on the sweeping
statements he made about the liquor
traffic in his arguments. Particular at
tention was directed to certain quoted
statements, one of them to the effect
that liquor dealing was not wrong.
Dr. Cannon submitted photographic
copies of the records of the Massachu
setts legislative committee, including
an argument by Mr. Brandeis.

NAVAL SECRET GIVEN OUT
Target Practice Figures Correct: In
former Declared Traitor..
WASHINGTON, March 6. The House
naval committee became interested to
day in finding out where Representa
tive Gardner got the confidential fig
ures on target practice of the Atlantic
fleet, which he made public some time
ago Admiral Fletcher, testifying be
fore the committee, said that the fig
ures were approximately correct, and
that such information was regarded in
the Navy as highly confidential.
"Whoever told them," said Chairman
Pagett, "was false to his trust and a
traitor to his country. If I find out
who did it, I am going to publish his
name."

PLEA SENT WELFARE BOARD
All Shades of Opinion Heard
at Big Meeting.
WORKERS ALSO PROTEST
Special Delegation Will Appear Be
fore Commission Today Reg
ulation Approved, but Lack
of Notice Stirs Ire.
Employers of Oregon want no fur
ther regulation by the Industrial Wel
fare Commission.
They expressed themselves, with em
phatic voice, on this subject yesterday.
At the close of a meeting that packed
the assembly room of the Chamber of
Commerce to the outer walls they
adopted a series of resolutions appeal
ing to the commission not to place in
effect the new wage and time sched
ule suggested by a conference commit
tee recently appointed by the commis
sion. The principal changes that the sub
committee suggests provide a maximum
of 48 hours a week for women workers
of the state, instead of 54 hours as at
present, and a minimum wage of $8.64
a week Instead of $8.25 a week, as at
present, in the industrial occupations.
The opposition centered against the
time regulation rather than against the
wage regulation.
A special delegation of employers
will appear before the commission
when it meets in its rooms at the
Courthouse today to present this view
point. The meeting yesterday afternoon
heard almost every shade of opinion on
the Industrial welfare question from
the ultra-radical employer who wanted
to repeal all such legislation, to the
ultra-radical agitator, who wanted to
confiscate all private property.
Meeting J Arranged.
As a consequence the meeting adopt
ed a conservative middle course and
agreed to meet the commission as "man
to man" and present its views.
With only one or two exceptions,
ever? employer who spoke gave em
phatic approval to the minimum wage
regulations and the limited time regu
lations for women.
More or less criticism was directed
at the commission because employers
had not been given adequate notice of
the meeting tomorrow. Various speak
ers declared that had it not been for
the employers, themselves few of them
would have known of today's meeting.
"It was only by the merest accident
that we heard of these proposed
changes," declared W. P. Olds, depart
ment store owner, who was the first
speaker following the opening remarks

Conference Held With Public
Service Commission.
RELIEF ONLY TEMPORARY
Kailroad President Not Optimistic
ad to Future, Expressing Opin
ion That Condition in Fall
Will Bo Far More Acute.
SALEM. Or.. March S. (Special.)
Return of P. W. Campbell, assistant
general manager of the Southern Pa
cific Company, to Portland within the
next 30 days and the establishment of
a car distribution bureau at Portland
immediately, was promised to the Ore
gon Public Service Commission today
by "William Sproule. president of the
Southern Pacific, after a conference
here in which plans to relieve the pres
ent car shortage in the state were dis
cussed. Prospects for permanent relief for
Oregon lumber mills in the Willamette
Valley and other industries were de
clared by the Commission after the
conference with Mr. Sproule to be
small, though assurances that the
Southern Pacific will do its utmost to
supply thi3 territory were given.
Worse Condition Looked For.
"I see nothing to prevent the great
est car shortage this Fall that the
country has ever seen, as it is cumu
lative." President Sproule advised the
Commission. "Our cars are being held
in the East until they can be unloaded,
and even then it is difficult to get them
back unless they come empty. The
pressure which the Western roads are
exerting on the Eastern lines it is
hoped will prove effective."
That there will be no discrimination
against Oregon shippers as far as sup
plying cars is concerned, was the re
peated assurance of President Sproule
today to members of the Commission.
He declared that Oregon would receive
its Just proportion of cars, but was
not optimistic that the relief would be
adequate to the needs.
Cars Ordered Unloaded.
"Mr. Sproule was unable to offer us
any absolute assurance that the situa
tion will be materially bettered in the
number of cars the state is now re
ceiving," said Commissioner Miller.
"We called his attention to the fact
that the Southern Pacific now has 1500
cars in San Francisco, which have not
been unloaded. He said he had ordered
100 of them unloaded today and that
this state would receive its just pro
portion. "The trouble is that apparently the
Southern Pacific hesitates to ship
empties to Oregon when the cars can
be loaded in California, thus saving the
extra haul without load. President
Sproule said that his road had just
ordered 2000 cars built, but they would
not become available until after the
Fall crops are moved, if it is possible
to move them."
Further Trouble Expected.
According to the commission. Mr.
Sproule could offer but little hope
for permanent relief for Oregon ship
pers his Fall, though he said a tem
porary relief now might possibly be
given.
One of the principal causes of the car
shortage in Oregon and why no relief
has. been provided was declared by the
Commission to be the lack of a chief
executive in Oregon. At present ail
questions must be referred to tbe San
Francisco office. The car distributing
bureau and Mr. Campbell's permanent
presence in Portland are expected to
relieve this situation.
Lack of Head Criticised.
"Clerks in the dispatcher's office are
now handling the distribution of cars
in Oregon," said Commissioner Miller.
"Under the present system of absentee
management, the head office muBt de
pend upon the filed reports of agents
for its knowledge concerning the needs
of shippers. There i a state law re
quiring a resident manager in Oregon
and when we called the attention of
President Sproule to this, he acquiesced
immediately in our request that Mr.
Campbell remain in Portland rather
than San Francisco or Chicago.
"President Sproule admitted to us
that one trouble has been that South
ern Pacific officials have not under
stood the potential possibilities of the
business in Oregon."
The Commission has been advised
that all serious car shortages have been
relieved bv all railroads in the state
except the Southern Pacific.
