IJUST LIKE SLAVES Only the Modern Bondmen Are in a Worse Condition Than Any History Tells About. (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 29. There will be mi appropriations for battleships or public buildings at this session of congress. This was the decision of the democrats of the house after a spirited caucus tonight.

Elimination of a battleship appropriation was a surprise, the caucus having bccn called to consider a public building bill, recommended by tho committee on public buildings and grounds. Representative Burnett, of Alabama, however, offered an amendment to resolution to dispense with the public buildings bill, and that no battleship appropriation be reported to the house. Unpreseiitathe Hobson. of Alabama, headed a hitter attuck on the amendment, but it was passed. AS to US.

Tito savings resulting from this ai tion of tho caucus is estimated by the democratic leaders to aggregate about $10,000,000, $24,000,000 to bo required Tor two modern battleships, nnd $16,000,000 for public buildings. In the case of public, buildings, however, there may bo some appropriation for emergencies. The issue was precipitated by Rep-rescniattvc Fitzgerald, of New York, chairman t'f the appropriations committee, who introduced a resolution that the state of the government finances did -not now justify public btilldipp: bill. Mr. Fitzgerald said it would bL.

impossible for government architects to begin work on new plans for two years, and that It would bo three years before new construction work could be started. The caucus was by no means harmonious, many members from the country districts pleading the neees fifty of such a bill to safeguard tho welfare of the party In the approaching Miss ltachel Eltince.

(By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Jan. Hrandeis of Boston and U. Reed, i counsel for tho United States Steel Cor-i poratlon, clashed today before, Ji Stan- ley committee over iine or inquiry Into the corporation's labor policy. Mr, Heed contended the committee-had no author-1 Kv to Investigate the labor question. Chairman Stanley overruled him.

Mi. Hrandeis challenged Judge Gary's recent statement that the corporation's treatment of employes compared favorably with that of any other, and introduced portions of the report upon the lep industry recently made hy Commissioner Neill of the bureau of labor, lie criticised the. length of -hours of workmen, "The percentage of men who undergo lumlshtpH is iisiisillv large," wild Hrandeis. "Judge Gary's comment on criticisms of the corporation's policy shows to nie tile utter Inability of largo corporations to regard human life." Mi. Hrandeis declared "that the steel Industrv in Knglatid has eliminated entirely all tlnese objectionable features.

BEHIND ENGLAND. "Von don't mean England has been able to do anything for labor that we can't Co In this country?" demanded Stanley. "Vou must he mistaken." "Unfortunately in this case, I am not mistaken, returned Hrandeis, saying jut the working week of an English worker was hours, and that i-pir cent of the workers In this country averaged 7ii hours. "Mr. Carnegie lias said tho steel business was a case of feast or famine, prince or pauper, in tin early days.

Today with the steel corporation It is a of prince and pauperizing," said Mr. Hrandeis. He chnrged that the sleel workers were worse than slaves. "The slave owners were human." he said, "and slaves came Into personal contact with their owners. On the other hand, the owners of this steel corpora-lion are in the position exactly similar to the absentee landlords In Ivelanu.

and through their stock distribution scheme to employes have brought about a condition exactly comparable to tho -appall-In rent conditions In Ireland." LET HIM OFF EASILY.
