WALSH STATES AIS POSITION.
The Brotherhood OF Engineers Had Mis-
understood His Meaning.

Il
understood His Meaning.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-In the Senate
this morning Mr.. Walsh, of Georgia,
rising to question of privilege. referred
to the publication In the morning papers
OF dispatch from St. Faul, Mimi,
stating that the Brotherhood OF Loco.
motive Engineers had adopted resolu-
tion condem ling him for Introducing in
the Senate bill to punish with twenty
years imprisonment the obstruction of
trains carrying the United States mails.
he said he had introduced no such bill.
he had introduced bill to prot. CT the
United States mail, but he had no in
tention OF having it apply directly or
indirectly to the Brotherhood of Loco
motive engineers or any other COM
bination of laborers. He recognized
that labor had it's rights as we'll as
capital or corporations. Having served
his apprenticeship at the printers trade
ne had never seen the day when he did
not sympathize with the laboring people
OF this country. He recognized that
they had the right TO organize to ad-
vance their material condition in life
The bill which he had introduced
might have been loosely worded and
might be liable to the construction
which the brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers had placed upon it, but
neither directly or indirectly had he
contemplated that any such construo-
ton would be placed upon 1t. or that in
case OF Its passage 1t would have any
such effect. He therefore asked the
privilege OF introducing an amended
bill and would read il, 80 as to remove
any possibility OF demonstration of
his intention.
Mr.. Walsh then read the bill. Its
title Is ITO protect the United States
mails," and it provides that any person
who shall rob or attempt to rob, or
maliciously obstruct or retard for the
purpose Of robbery, the passage OF any
railroad train on which mails are car
ried, shall be punished by Imprisonment
at hard labor not less than one nor
more than twenty years. Bill was read
the first and second time and referred to
the committee on postof1oes and post
roads.
