BYRNES REBUKES lo OPPOSITE PARTY h o In Speech in House He Asked That t R?niiklimn? Name Their Work. I ll 1 i' By P. H. McGowan in The State. Washington, Dec. 15.?One of the! most scathing rebukes ever delivered an opposite party in congress was f handed the Republicans of the house j today by Congressman Byrnes of t South Carolina. He rapped them j fote and aft and sent his shafts deep, j He accused them of having done many ( things they should not have done and f having perfected practically no legis- t lation of any value to the American t people. In part, Mr. Byrnes said: r "This is the first time in the his- \ tory of the house that the committee c on rules has brought in for the con- j ai/formtinn nf this hf>dv a rule that p provides for iour hours' political de- i bate and provides for the considera- L tion of a report which recommends r no affirmative action by this body. \ The minority of this house has co- i operated and will cooperate with the I j committee on rules for the considera- j f tion of every legislative measure that j? is brought here for consideration by the committee, but this rule provides for a filibuster against the legitimate business of this house. Last spring the Republican party clamored for an extra session of congress in order that i you might consider reconstruction' legislation. What reconstruction legislation has been considered? I call attention to the calendar which came mfrt vmir this mornine. Look- i ing at page 29 you will see a. list of house bills which have become law, a list of the legislative achievements of the Republican party in this house. Take from that list the appropriation bills, which were framed by a, Democratic house and which were j filibustered to death by the Repub-j licans at the other end of the capi- j tol, and you have left nothing but | bills providing for the payment ofj private claims and bills authorizing ; the construction of bridges across the ; streams of this cduntry. Read it. In = this history of your reconstruction measures, we find bills to build | bridges across the Susquehanna j river, a St. Johns river bridge, one j for the relief of Carey, a Sulphur j I nver Dnage, a iuissis&ippi n*ci bridge, a Rainy river, bridge. Recon-: struction measures? Then we have a. Snake river bridge, a White river, bridge, a Red river bridge. Gentle-1 men of the house, instead of meeting for the purpose of considering meas- i * ures of reconstruction, it is quite evi- j dent the Republicans wanted the ex-j tra session to consider bills of bridge construction and that is all * they have^ done. Nothing to Do? "T" Viflvo nfttMnc to! id lb uiav vuvj MMfv . do? No, look at the calendar. Over 10,000 bills have been introduced and among them are bills promoting the safety and prosperity of the, people of America, bills on the immi-J gration question, on the activity of the Reds in this country and while; boys of the American Legion are be-i ing shot down in the streets of; America, and the attorney general i asks for legislation, you come here* and ask-us for four hours of political, debate in order that you may criticize j tha nrmv that foueht for the safety' of America. "On the calendar you have legis-i Jation providing relief for soldiers ! agkfd for by the American Legion,' and instead of the committee on[ rules bringing in a rule which would i enable this congress t6 consider tn&t * r kind of legislation, you bring in this I rule which seeks to criticize them, i 1 The gentleman from " Kansas, Mr. j ^ Campbell, says it is not so. He says this makes in order a criticism of | those who conducted the business of ! the army and not the officers and soldiers in the field. Who conducted the business of' the army? No one but the officers of the army, officers selected in a more democratic manner than have been the officers of any army in the history of the world. They came from Republican homes. They came from Democratic homes. ? ^ ! iney came m every instance lruni | American homes and reflected credit on this country. The gentleman from Kansas says they do not criticize the men in the field. They do criticize the men in the field. You sent one of j your subcommittees abroad, I think you sent nearly all of them abroad, and I am glad to see the members of this select committee, as a result of that trip, in better health to day than 1 have ever seen them before during my service here. I like them. I am glad they had these trips. Eut when the gentleman from Kansas i says you are not criticizing the men j and officers in the field I call attention to a statement issued by one of these subcommittees, when an attempt was made to hold up General, f ersnmg as ne was leaving x- tantc. j They insisted that it was essential to j ihis investigation that he be brought before them immediately. America will never forget the position in which you sought to place the commander; of the American forces. He told you i I-- U TV, nn irAn COir] lit; WUU1U I1VU appeal. 1 1X11 juu uwiu | he treated you with scorn and con-j rempt, and yet you have never had: the nerve to come into this house and; jomplain that Pershing treated your; committee with contempt. Possibly ! he ignored your committee because i lie knew he was sent for in bad faith and the best proof of the bad faith lies in the fact that he has been back here since September and to this hour you have never seen fit to call him j before your committee.
