LAFOLLETTE WINS OUT. Penrose _Resolution Days’ Fight. Senate Passe: After a Thre Washington, Aug. 26.—At the end of a three days’ flght in which Senator LaFollette's threat of a continued fili- | buster hung over the semate to force | consideration, that body today passed | the Penrose resolution, calling for a complete investigation of the cam- aign contributions of John D, Arch- bold and George W. Perkins, and of all “financial transactions and corre- | spondence relating thereto,” between | the two financiers and “Col. Theodore | Roosevelt, representatives in congress | and members of the semate of the | United States.” | The objections to the resolution died | out in the final hours of the session. When the senate met at noon it had been mutually agreed that no opposi- tion would be mada to Senator LaFol- lette’s request for action. Based on | the charges made by Senator Penrose that the Standard Ofl company had contributed $100,000 to the Roosevelt fund in 1904, the resolution had been | amonded by ‘Senators Poindexter and Penrose, to cover all the activities of Mr. Archbold and Mr. Perkins of a political nature. The resolution, once before the sen- ate, passed with little discussion and with no negative votes. One important change which was made gives wit- nesses the right to have a*tornoys at the hearings before the senate commit- tee, Senator Clapp, chairman of the sub-committes which will conduct the | investigations, kald today that his committes probably would not recon- | vene before September 30, “There was @ general understanding among the members of the committee,” Senator Clapp said tonight, “that if the Penrose resolution passed we wauld resume ou rinvestizgation et the end of September. The passage of the resolution will make no material change in eur plans, exespt to widen somewhat the scope ef the inquirs,” Senator LaFellette stated that he intended to make public a eomplete schedule of his expenses as a eandi- date for the republican nomination for | president DECLARES ENGINEERS ARE LIBERALLY PAID | | Railroad Attorney Argues Against Granting Demand for Increase. o New York, Aug. 26—Willlam Mc- Kinley Duncan, aftorney for the gifty- two railroads east of Chicago, today presented a longthy brief to the arbis tration board that recently heard the testimony of officials of the companies and of their englneers on the demands of the engineers for an increase in and changes in conditions of their The brief is an exhaustive ar- gument against granting the engl- neers increased compensation, con- tending that their wages at present are full, fair and lberal. It says also that a standardization of rules s im- practicable. Mr, Duncan says the engineers of | the lines involved received in 1910 and 1911 an increase in pay of $4,444,230, lor 108 per cent, and that if their present demands had been granted and | plied against the year 1911 it would | have increased their compensation | $7,172,545 or 17.71 per cent. This would | Inot mean, he adds, that ail the | railroads would have been called upon to increase th®ir payrolls 17 per cent., but the increases would have varied from 10.4 per cent. on the Bessemer and Lake Brie to 56,36 per cent. on the coal and coker ailroads. The brief says that the granting of the engineers' demand for a standard- ization of pay and of rules would be | impracticable on g0 many railroads op- | erating In territory so extensive be- | | cause of the dissimilar physical char- | [ acteristics of the roads, their varying | traffic conditions and the marked va- riations in their earning capacities.
