WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE failure
of the senate to make public its action
on the arbitration treaty has created an
unusual condition OF affairs. There is
no official information that the senate
has taken action, or that the treaty has
been rejected. or that the defeated
treaty was different from the one
originally submitted, It is felt to be
due to the other contracting party to
the treaty that some notice should be
given MS to what has been done. ana

rejected. In case the senate never
should make its action known. the last

TERRA HAUTE, Ind, May 1.-THE
lodges Of the Brotherhood OF Locomo-

voted the frst Of this month on the
proposition to affiliate with the AmeE1-

tion was before the biennial conven-
tIou Mt Galveston last summer and was
strongly urged by grand master sar-
gent and President Gompers OF the
Federation, who was present by invita-

turns will show that the proposition
has been carried by more than the nee nee,

nfiiIIiation Is for fraternal and financial
assistance and cannot involve the hre-
men in a strike OF other radical actlon
