Brown, presented to the Georgia Legislature at Its opening session hero today. . . ; ' i Governor Brown's criticism of or ganized labor , is made, in connection with his argument for the enactment of laws reojuirmg compulsory arbitra tion of., differences between employes and employers. He predicates this recommendation upon the strikes of employes of the Georgia Railroad and the Augusta Street - Railway Company last: Fall. Both of. these strikes, the Governor declares, were "manifestly indefensible- and -condemnable," and "the strikers placed themselves in a state of open rebillion to the laws of Georgia." ' v"We are brought face to face with the fact,' the message continues,' "that these unions, or combinations of employes on public service and oth er ' corporations have ' forced their wages above those received by work men in all other departments of life who 'have not - formed these aggres sively militant combinations, u "The trend of the laws of the present-day -1s to suppress combinations, or trusts, in restraint of trade. Yet while it is a matter of public note that the labor trust is the most widespread and aggressively exacting trust in America, politicians pander to it, be cause or its voting power. . . r "The labor nnions by combination which -they work through strikes and kindred methods are aggressively levy ing a toll upon all the other elements of our citizenship. They have organ ized a trust and demand that all other people"1 buy labor at whatever price they choose to put upon it. And con temporaneously they are trying to force from employment all similar workmen who do not join their or ders.. '-"I do not declare that all of the members of the .labor unions are wil ful violators of the law. - Yet they are the victims of a system which is breeding anarchy, which already has put the- State's constitution in con tempts which haff.relentlessly wronged hundreds-of thousands of their fellow Citizens, who have . not.oXf ended thenn. which, in plaiir words, '..has, ...applied lynch law. methods to millions, of dol lars' worth" of property. . v " ,.ri . tAmong ? other . - recommendation made by!

Withdrawal from - South Carolina of the support given by the Federal government to all : other - States and territories brought many inquiries to the War De partment today, and caused Secretary Garrison to issue the following state ment: . 'With respect to inquiries made of me :. concerning the relationship be tween this department and the Gover nor of South Carolina, the facts are, briefly: MThose - In control of the National Guard of South Carolina were not com plying with the law entitling them to Federal aid. The attention of the Governor was called to this and a rather sharply worded reply received: Fearing that there was some misun derstanding, I wrote a long explana tory letter to the Governor, statins: the law and the particulars in which his State had failed to comply, and suggesting that upon this being brought to his attention it was sup posed that he would desire to com ply with the law and continue to re ceive the federal aid. In response I have received another sharply worded letter reiterating his previous position ana practically stating, that soutn Car olina . did not wish anv federal aid. and would not do those things neces sary to secure it. The latest letter re ceived by me from the Governor, is self-explanatory and seems to close the matter, is as follows: , " 'June 24th, 1913. 'Hon. Lindley M. Garrison, Secretary ;,ii.

The advanced surgical operation known as decapsu lation of the kidney was performed ypon Mrs. Juliano Riso at Bellevue Hospital today in an effort to save the woman's life after she had swallowed 15 grains of bichloride of mercury, an amount similar to which caused the death of B. Sanders Walker, ' the Macon, Ga.,, banker several weeks ago. The operation is new in surgery and has been performed but a few times in the United States, and for the first time at Bellevue Hospital today. It consists of making an incision in the back and removing one of the kidneys, which is split and peeled and then replaced. ' In the case of Mrs. Riso, the kidneys were so impregnated with the poison that it was necessary to remove both parts of the organ. At the last report tonight the pa tient had not fully rallied from the effects of the ether, but the surgeons held out considerable hope for her re covery.

' Schedules After Prolonged -Discussions. Washington, June 25. Free sugar in-1916, and free raw wool, are . now established in the tariff revision bill,; having been approved late today by the Democratic aucus of the Senate, after,, a two-days' fight. The sugar, schedule as reported by the majority members of -the Finance committee, and practically as it passed the House was approved by a vote of . 40 to 6. Free raw wool as submitted by the majority, and just 'as it passed the House, swept the Senate caucus by a vote of 41 to 6. This ratification of President Wil son's tariff policy, ne having insisted upon the wool ano sugar propositions before the Ways and Means commit tee in the beginning, came- after a long series of developments since the tariff bill -passed the House, in which the President had been an active parti cipant. When the fight of the anti-free sugar and anti-free wool Democrats was geting hot, the President issued a public statement declaring that any suggestion of compromise on the wool and sugar schedules ideas was abso lutely out of the question, and later he stirred all administration leaders to action when he made his -charge about the existence in Washington of an "insidious lobby" investigation of wheh. has brought results regarded as (favorable to the tariff bill. , .. .7 The six Democratic Senators, who voted against free sugar on the final vote approving the schedule - - were Hitchcock, Nebraska: Newlands.

'he .six. jsrhcormosed-f re- raw -wool to the end were Chamberlain, of Ore gon; Newlands, Nevada; Ransdell and Thornton, Louisia, and Shafroth and Walsh. No attempt, was made in the. cau cus today to bind the members to the action of the caucus. The question will come up when the entire bill has been passed upon. Some members fought it, but administration leaders said tonight they believed only the two Louisiana Senators would ask to be released from the caucus . pledge if one is submitted. The general opinion is that a binding resolution will be offered. ' ,. Approval of the schedules canie af ter prolonged discussion, and af ter several amendments had been voted down. On some of the amendments the opposition showed more strength, the maximum being 10 votes fdr Sen ator Shafroth's amendment to the su gar schedule. This would have elim inated free sugar, and substituted a duty of approximately one-half, cent a pound on refined sugar. This am endment was lost by a vote of 37 to 10, Senators ' Thompson, Chamberlain, Hitchcock, Newlands, Shafroth, Lane, Ransdell, Thornton, Tillman and Walsh voting for it. . " When this had been lost Senator Thompson, of Kansas, offered an amendment to retain the Underwood rate for-three years, reducing it "50 per cent, in : 1916, and 15 per cent, each succeeding year until it. reached the free list. Senators Chamberlain, Fletcher, Hitchcock, Newlands, Shaf roth, Thompson, Tillman and Walsh supported this amendment. The am endment offered by Senator Thornton to eliminate the free sugar provision and maintain the Underwood ratefs In definitely, was supported only by. Sen ators Ransdell and Thornton. : . Senator Walsh offered the amend- ment to the wool schedule, proposing a duty of 15 per cent, ad valorem on first-class wools, and that wools ' of the second and third classes, such as carpet and clothing wool, be .free. This was defeated 39 to 7, Senators voting for it being Chamberlain, -New-lands, Ransdell, Shafroth, Thompson, Thornton and Walsh. Three Senators were absent, Culberson, Owen and Lewis :- Discussion of the issues was lively all day. Senators RansdelV Thomp son, Thornton, Newlands, Lane -and Shafroth took up most of the time for the opposition, while the chief admins istration defenders were Senators James, Thomas and Pomerene. -The. arguments were long and the weather hot, and most of the Senators remov ed their coats in' the privacy , of ; the caucus room. '. When sugar and wool had beenHis posed of the caucus ratified the com mittee amendments . placing, hair Of the Angora goat on the free list. Con sideration of the agricultural sched ule was then resumed and a dispute at once arose over the committee amendments putting, a countervailing, duty on wheat and uour. As the discussion- developed the opposition grew and decision of the . question went over until tomorrow. .. .Some Democrats asserted following the ad journment that the countervailing duty would be stricken off, leaving wheat and flour on the : unrestricted free list on a parity with cattle and meats- ' ':' : .... - TWO ARE KILLED.
