WASHINGTON. April I. (Special tele
gram.) Senator Rruw-n, who originally In
troduced the administration bill amending
certain features of the employer' ' liability
act. but whose bill wt laid aside for the
house, measure, la pushing this bill when
ever he gets a chance, and hopes to have It
taken. up and disposed of within a few days.
The bill amends the existing employer's
liability law In three particulars:
It allows suit to be brought wherever ac
tion arises or where the railroad company
does business. This amendment was made
necemary by a decision of the circuit judge
In Tex its who held that suit had to be
brought In the state where -the company
had Its home office.

( ver the outcome of this affair: don't be
afraid that we will not be able to elm up
an agreement. It will all be over within
thirty days. Anyhow, this Is good fishing
wraither."
This was the advice of Thomas L. Lewis,
president of the I'nlted Mine -Workers of
America, In addressing 3,000 of 75.000 Illinois j
n ine workers who have quit work, at ttene
ville this afternoon.
"It Isn't work we want," he continued.
"We're willing to do our part, but we want
a full and complete share of the results of
our lnbor. and we never will be satisfied
until we get It."
In an Interview after his address, Mr.
l.cwls expressed absolute confldsnee In the
outcome of the present suspension of work,
and said the miners will win out 1n all their
demands within thirty days In all the fields,
with the possible, exception of Illinois and
western Pennsylvania. In these latter
fields, he say, conditions are different than
In the others, and more time may be neces
lai y before negotiations may be concluded.
Vacation for Miners.
"I want to say again," he said, "that
this Is not a strike. If Just a vacation, and
tho miners really will enjoy it. I do not
look for any shortage of coal, nor for sny
differing among the men. The mines
throughout the country have had a big
run for the last four months and hundreds

WASHINGTON, April l.-The most seri

the members of the Ballinger-PInchot In

today. The quarrel, which, continued for
t n hour or more, ww added evidence Of
the growing feeling' of -partisanship amoiiK
the democratic and republican members of
the committee and was taken by many to

The row- was precipitated by Chairman

deceive or conceal something from the
committee. The attorney, flushed with
anger. Jumped to his feet and demanded
that the chairman's remark be withdrawn.
Democratic njembera of the committee
were quick to take up the defense of the
attorney and Representative Graham of

to withdraw the Imputation. ' Representa

jpieviously adopted by the senate for that
I purpose.
As pnssed by the house today the law
! bearing on tills subject provides that "all
corporation ta returns shall bs open to
Inspection only upon the order of the
! president, under rules and regulations to
t be prescribed by the secretary of the trcas
! ury and approved by the president."
j As prevtnualy provided by the senate
such corporation tax reports were "to be
! made public when by resolution of the
senate or house of representatives or
j by order of the president when he deems
, It for the public Interest."
' The senate and house conferees soon will
net together In an effort to agree upon
a publicity amendment In which the views
of both branches will be harmonized.

Mr. Fitsgerald of New Yolk attempted to
(ret a direct vote on a motion to recom
mit the bill under consideration with In
structions for the committee on appropria
tions to report it with an amendment re
pealing the I'ayne-Aldrlch tariff law. By
a strict party vote of liVO to llti. In which
the Insurgents were found side by side
with the republicans, a point of order
against Mr. Fltxgerald's motion was sus
tained. The sennte amendment to the legislative,'

provldlttit for publicity concerning the af
fairs of corporations, stirred up a "hornets'

today In connection with a conference re

rule that records of corporations of use
and value to the public would be made
public. He said he thought the majority
of ' corporation returns ought not to be
made public, as they should not be open
to the Inspection of their rivals.
Mr. Fitzgerald, combating the GUlett
amendment, said he was In favor of thu

it somewhat and let the defendant off

immigrants whose purpose is to enter
agricultural pursuits, either as land own
ers, tenants and laborers, and desires to
exclude those Immigrsnts whose presence
would tend to the congestion of towns and
cities. This Is probably the most Import
