Hewitt's Committee Again in Session—
Two Witnesses Heard, But Nothing Practical Elicited.
New York, Aug. 21.—The Congressional labor committee resumed its session to-day. The first witness was B. Goodwin Moudy, of Boston. He said he could not discover that there was any conflict in a theory between capital and labor, but found there was an artificial conflict between them, growing out of misconception of the relations between them by both parties. The direct cause, he thought, was that the laboring classes could not understand why capitalists could be in affluence and they in poverty. He had no sympathy with the hostility against capital on the part of labor. One was to a great extent dependent on the other. He believed that in Massachusetts they were living in as much harmony as they could in the present condition of things.
Witnesses continued at some length but even under cross examination nothing practicable was stated.
Herbert Radcliffe, agent for the Business Improvement society, of Boston, advocated a reduced tariff and submitted statistics regarding trade in Massachusetts. Adjourned.
