WASHINGTON, August l2. General
Bingham, who has been criticised for de-
lay in reporting the Anti.Lottery bill,
in defense Of the House Committee on
Postoflices points to the fact that the
Senate Committee only yesterday re-
ported favorably the same bill. p
The House Committee reported the
bill on July e5, showing it to have been
much more III earnest than the Senate.
The bill was prepared by the Post.
Office Department, and is known us the
Wanamaker bill. The Senate Commit
tee added the following amendment:
provided that this shall not be con.
strued to exclude newspapers published
in foreign countries from the mails, ur.
less, in the opinion Of the Postmaster
General, they are being circulated for
the purpose ofadvertisirg such schemes,
in violation OF, the statute which says
advertisements shall not be publicly
contracted by said person, firm, bank,
corporation or association"

At Buffalo.

BUFFALO, N. Y, August l2.-The
New York Central railway authorities
in Buffalo are more confident than ever
that the strike, as far as this end Of the
road is concerned, is practically over.
This view Of the situation was borne out
by the fact that such trains as had ar.
rived up to 1880 o'clock were not any
later than they might be at any time
when there was no strike in progress.

That have been made public CONCERNING
tho New York Central and liz employees,
District Assembly 2iG presents the toI.
lowing explanation Of the situation:
Last November the men employed In
the train service OF the New York Cen.
tsal presented petition to the company
asking for pay In excess OF twelve hours
per day at the rate Of wages received a,
Tue time. The men were willing to per.
form twelve hours labor for one davis
pay. The company in response, entered
into an agreement to pay the men for
over timo in excess OF twelve
hours, at a slight reduction in rate
""kSo paAu W ttle uHy, which
agreement was signed by the President
Of the road, Chauncey NJ. Depew, and
was lived up to for two mouths. and
then broken by the company. When a
committee OF employee waited on
the officers OF the corporation at thu,
time, to inquire as To why it's agreement
was not lived up to, they were coolly in.
formed that the agreement was obnux.
ious to the company, iuasmuch as thew
lthe ollicials) did not realize at the time
OF making, the large amount Of money
1t was going to cost. ,,~ ~
Another agreement made by tho cor.
poration with It's employees was also
ruthlessly broken. The real reason for
the discharge Of the men seems to lie in
the fact they are Union men, The
article concludes with charges of col. |
lusion between Webb and Depcw to !
clear out labor Knights, the chSree
being based upon the fact that Mr
Depew went abroad this summer. II ia
also said that the Knights Of Labor. the |

STl;lktliS CONFIDENT

That They will Wiu-rhe Report of tho
Press Committoe-Contempl .,ed Move.
NEw York, August l2.-Notwith-
standing the statements Of the officials
Of the New York Central road, that the
backbone Of tbs strike is broken and the
apparent belief Of the public in these
assertions, the strikers themselves are
still confident that the crisis has not vet
been reached, and that before the week
is over the road will be tied up tight as
a drum. This belief was strengthened
by the speeches made at the meeting
OF the strikers which was held this after.
noon.
Master Workman Lee spoke, and al.
terward, when asked about the letter
which appeared in morning paper,
and. which he was accused OF having
written to General Manager Toucey, he
replied: sits forgery. I did not w1tte
it. l am not double dealer, or a traitor:
and would :not write such document
The situation is 80 serious that the rail-
road officials are resorting to every
means to discredit me in the eyes Of my
fellow workmen." 1'
"Why did you tell the reporters that
the tiremen would go out that night ?'
he was asked.
"Because believed they would. I
made the statement in good faith, I
had reason to believe that the tiremen
in the Grand Central depot would 20
out" o.
"Mr. Holland is not in entire control
Of the strike" he said, in response to
another query. I'VE (meaning the Dis.
trict Assemblies) have full power to con.
duct the strike as we think proper. We
are on very friendly terms with the
engineers, and l still believe they will
strike"
BY this time the meeting had ad.
journed, and the press committee had
greed on what information they would
give to the reporters. Reports had been
read, showing that only one or two de.
ser,ions from the ranks OF the strikers
had taken place so far, and not one OF
these had been in the Grand Central
yard.
Reports from towns all along the line
stated that the strikers are as hopeful as
they we're on Friday night. "They can
not instruct the green hands," eaid a
prominent member, ito run the trains
in less than six months. Even the
superintendents don't understand the
business This running OF trains on
schedule time is all bosh. tell you,
not train has been switched yet; they
are. sent out as they come out without
regard to ORDER"
The press committee said that vote
OF confidence in Mr.. Lee had been pass.
ed. I'VE have every confidence in our
otlicers," was the statement hich sun.
plemented this, "and we will stand by
them through thick and thin"
The strikers will meet again to.mor.
row, and hear reports from the en-.
gineers. They evidently believe that
the latter will support them.
Subsequently Mr.. Lee said: "Tht
General Executive Board alone has the
power to order out at one time the mer
on the roads throughout the country
and any apparent delay in forcing con
clusions is because We are now waitin,
the endorsement OF that body, which
meets tomorrow in Detroit" ser
| Mr.. Lee stated that no conference hat
been had with Mr.. Powderly. Z .l
At present Lee is the one that is di
recting all the movements OF the striker

WASHINGTON, d. G., August 12.-The

MIR. Morgan resumed his argument be.
gan yesterday against the increased duty
provided in the paragraph.
Abiding to Mr.. Edmunds' motion to
limit debate and to other propositions OF
a like character, Mr.. Morgan said that no
Democratic Senator desired to prevent
the passage OF the bill. They had mere.

cussion OF it. MFR ga..g
MIR. Daniels, referring to the PROPOSE.
ton 10 limit debate, said that such u gag
rule would be y fitting wind up to the
sud and tragic comedy before the Senate.
Those who spok. for the farmers were
to be gagged like Gulliver, and were to
be told to speak their five minutes aud
to 70 home. Shame, he exclaimed, upon
you American Senators, il you can make
such suggestion with pleasure or with.
out indignation.
Mr.. Moody said he was opposed to
tariff levied exclusively for revenue on
any articles except those Of luxury. On
the question OF tin and tlu plate, MIR.
Moody said that he was advised by
majority OF the Finance Committee that
an amendment was to be offered impos.
ing duty ION and after the 1st Of Jan.
usry, 1922 on black oxide of tin, and
on bar, block and pig tin, and he asked
MIR. Aldrich whether that was 80.
Mr. AldTich assented to the correct.
ness OF the statement.
The tariff bill WIS laid aside tempor.
arily and Mr.. Allison from the Commit
tee>on Appropriations reported back the
House bill to continue temporarily the
appropriations for the support of the
government, and it went over till to

The tariff bill was again taken up and
