H In the senate there was the first order of the day since the assembly crened. This came on nomination of commissioners for Fairfield county, Henry P. Crawford of Greenwich, to fill a vacancy, John Brophy of Ridge- ficld for four years, and rank E Ballard of Bridgeport for an un- finished term. and also for a full term of four years Senator Mead asked for the passage of the resolution uinder suspension of the rules and in concurrence, and this was done in | spite of opposition from the five democrats. ‘A bill ow Eight Hours a Day. The witness said he did not Juborers in smelting and refining | works should be permitted to work mare than eight hours a day. The increasing high cost of living, the witness lelieved, was the cause uf unr among workers. The American Smelting and Refining com- vany had no objection to organizers going among thie employes, provided they did not interfere with the opera- tlenstof the plants. Mr. Guggenheim :aifl he believed industrial discontent s on the iricrease and had been for ome years, ‘‘and will continue to in- crease unless some remedial measures are taken,” he continued. “The trouble is we haven't had cnough legislation. \We are away behind We neced more business legis- believe “Suspended Rules Session." The rapid manner in which the re- jublicans passed matters from the scnate calendar drew from Senator Purcell the Temark that the senate is already acquiring the name of *Sus pended rules session.” Senator TIs- Lell replied that the republicans knew what they were doing and were sati fied inasmuch as they were expediting business for the state and keeping the desks as clear as possible. Senator ‘Whitton warned against a too light respect for the rules of a legislative body, which, he sald, were meant not only as a protection for the minority but also as a defense for the majority, the senator, at the same time, making it clear that member of the re- publican party he was proud of the record which the senate has made thus far in expediting busin 5 T.ong nate Session. The senate session was longer than usual as there was considerable dis- cussion on various matters. A re: olution was offered to reappoint Burton Mansfield and George 1. Seymour of New Haven as commis- sloners of scuipture. A petition with a bill appeared to regulate the prac- tice of chiropidactics. An appropria- tion bill called for $30,000 to control the gypsy and brown-tall moth pest. Other bills included these: Raising the educational requirements of children under age of sixteen who go to work; defining terms used in laws relating to labor; amending the law as to the drawing and summon- ing of jurors; providing for the locat- ing and abolishing mosquito brecding marsh areas within the state. Amendment to Charter.

Rockefeler, Jr., sitting in the audience, across an aisle from Mother Jones, followed Mr. Guggen- heim’s testimony closely. Mr, Guggenheim said he *“didn't want to advertise” the philanthropic organizations with which he was con- nécted. “T don’t want to done.” he said. “T've done all that T can. 1 don't'think any of us give enough. I'll tell you, though, that I am interested in many hospitals, homes and aid societies Showld Tax Fortunes. It is the duty of the state and na- tional governments to find work for the unemployed and provide free at- ention in hospitals for persons who need it, Mr. Guggenheim said. “Many people don’t want charity,” he con- tinued. “They want work. The state ghould find it for them. The state should tax great fortunes when rich men die, and thereby receive money to take care of the people until they can get along.” Workers should be taught to save, he said. They cannot save now be- cuuse they don’t get enough money to permit it. They should, he said, receive a part of the profits of the {ndustrics in which they were em- ployed. tell what T've Bad Capitalists. Fhere were bad trusts and bad cap- | italists as well as bad unions, Mr. | Guggenheim said. The American Smelting and Refining company op- grates open shops, he testified, be- cause it would not allow unions to run the business. ‘The management, however, would treat with unions, or with the men collectively the same as with individual workers.

He said that since May 1914, the department had stationed eight commercial attaches abroad and that one was about to go to Petro- grad and another to Melbourne. “The department” he continuad, “now has in mind the development of co-operating branches of the bur- eau of foreign and domestic comn- expect of | | ford the | | fire last night merce all over th country in the thought that in time every chamber | of commerce may become affiliated with the bureau and keep in constant touch with it. Material Inaccuracies Exist. “An imjortant phase of the of this bureau is that in with the revision of export and in port statistics at the New York ¢ tom house Material inaccuracies exist in both class of statistics. On the export side there are large dis. crepancies between the published statistics and the actual facts. Our are understated. This undeci- atement may amount to ten an error ifficient to thr our balance at times from the vorable to the unfavorable side. ‘A considerable part of the error arises from tpe failure of shippers to do their part in preparing accurafe | and complete manifests.” e work | conneciion s per w fa- Depends The future welfare foreign trade largely depends upon | the participation in it of an increa: ing number of smaller manufacturcrs and merchants, according to W. Downs. Mr. Downs, who was formerly an exporter and importer of many vears' residence in South America, declarad that with all of the facilities now offered by the government, the rail- roads, the banks and various forecisn | trade organizations, there was no cx- cuse for an American manufacturer not being able to ascertain whether his goods were suitable for any par- ticular forelgn market. The problem of getting the goods into that market could be =olved largely by co-opera- tive foreign selling organizations and export commission houses.
