REFORMS IN LAWS
Denounces as Infamous False
hood Charge That 1907
Panic Was Premeditated
WASHINGTON. Aug. 10. George
W. Perkins, financier and director of
the United States Steel corporation,
made soma striking, recommendations
today with reference to the govern
ment's control of corporations. A
witness before the house "steel trust"
lavestlgaYing committee, he declared
that existing laws were seriously
threatening big business Interests and
their rigid enforcement was render-
Ing It impossible for corporations to
continue operations In conformity
with the statutes.
Mr. -Perkins touched on needed re
form In the la us, dlM-ussed the exist
ing conditions of corporations and,
pointed' out changes that could be
made by congress In the financial
system of the country. Some of his
observations fallow:
"That great corporations, grown up
In demands . of existing conditions,
could no longer successfully exist un
der ihe-Sheiman-antl-lfust law as
now rigidly enforced.
Waving "Kl Flag."
"That the government's dissolution
of the Standard Oil company served
as a waving of a 'red flag' of warning
to every corporation In the United
States.
.'That something of a constructive
nature must be done by the govern
ment with reference to the control of
corporations, and rather tfian for
present conditions to continue it
would be better to go to the limit of
permitting government regulation of
prices. .
'That the very reason subsidiary
companies of a great corporation can
D violate the law without knowledge ,bf
th officers of the holding company,

LaFollette Has Reason for
Wanting Vote on House Cot
ton Bill This Season
WASHINGTON. Aug. 10. With a
meeting of the full committee of the
two houses In conference on the wool
and free list bills culled for tomorrow.
Senator LaFollette and Representa
tive Underwood, who constitute the
working sub-committee of that or
ganization, spent most of today in an
endeavor to place themselves In a
position to make a full report. They
made material progress, but when the
two houses adjourned late in the day
differences still existed.
The conferees were, apart only to
the extent of two and a half per cent
on raw wool and there was a fair
prospect that they would bridge this
narrow chasm before tomorrow's
meetin. Mr. Underwood was willing
to go to 27 1-1 per cent on ordinary
raw wool and Mr. LaFollette was
willing to come duwn to 3 per cent,
imd to make other compensatory re
cession. There will be little difficulty about
agreeing upon the free lint bill if Mr
Underwood's wish for another senate
vote on the house bill Is refused.
Mr. Underwood, as chairman of the
house ways and means committee,
called the democratic members of
that body together for a long confer
ence this afternoon and they en
dorsed his attitude In conference.
No Poltlo Promise.
There was no positive promise
when the-all for the meeting was Is
sued that an agreement would be
forthcoming, but the demand of the
full committee could not be resisted.
Mr. Underwood wanted to report a
disagreement on the free list bill-so
as to afford the senate an opportunity
to recede from Its amendments to
that measure, which he thought It
might easily Induced to flo4n, view
of the r'aet - that the original bill

PRIVATE SHIP YARDS TO
EXTEND EIGHT-HOUR LAW
ON NEW SHIPS FOR NAVY

Sets Forth Require
. ments of this Law
TO EVERY EMPLOYE
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 The
eight-hour law will be extended in
private ship yards further than ever
before attempted by the government
by contractors, soon to be let, for
two battleships and four submarine
torpedo boats. Controller of the
Treasury Tracewell today decided
that tho latest naval appropriation
art. authorizing these vessels, pre
scrlbes that ewry employe engaged
in their construction must be granted
the advantages of the eight-hour law.
Attorney General Wlckersham con
strued the eight-hour provision of .
previous appropriation act to mean
that the labor limitation applied only
to work done at the exact spot where
the vessel was being built. A slight
change In the phraseology of the
law this year convinced the control
ler that the eight-hour provisions In
regard to theee elx new vessels ap
plies to every man engaged In their
construction. In whatever part of the
yard he performs the work.
The controller also holds that the
eight-hour limitation la not applica
ble to the employes of firms or cor
porations who. In the ueual rourse of
business, may furnish to the contrac
tor materials entering Into the con
struction of the vessel.
