WATSON MAY Be
LEFT ALL ALONE
Stands for Revised Subsidy
Bill While Other Hoosier
congressman Don't.
SUBSIDY LOBBY IS BUSY
REALIZING THAT SAILiNGER
BILL is OUT OF QUESTION, ARE
TRYING TO GET COMPROMISE
LEGISLATION.

dispatch from Washington last
night said:
Republican members of the House
from Indiana, with the exception of
Representative Holiday, got together
yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock and
in short order decided to stand as a
unit against the present subsidy bill.
Mr. Holiday was unavoidahly absent
from the conference. but is in hearty
sympathy with the stand taken by his
colleagues. The two Democratic
members OF the delegation are also
against the bill, so this means solid
delegation against the Gallinger bill.
after the delegation had voted to
oppose the pending measure, Repre-
sentative Watson brought forward his
suggestion that the committee on
merchant marine and fisheries report
an amended bill providing for
South American subsidies and subsi
dies for two lines to the Philippines.
The suggestion was not cordially re-
ceiyed. 1t was the informal decision
of the delegates that the members
would want additional light on this
proposition before committing them
selves to it.
Opposed to all Subsidy.
"Some of the members of the dele
CATION are outspoken in opposition to
any subsidy legislation whatever, and
Notwithstanding the revised program
of Representative Watson, as a mem
ber of the committee on merchant ma
rine and fisheries, it seems altogether
likely that the entire delegation, with
the possible exception of Watson will
be found opposed to any sort of subsi-
dy legislation at this session.
THE subsidy lobby realizing that
the Gallinger bill is out of the ques
ton. is now anxious to obtain just
such compromise legislation as Repre
sentative Watson has proposed. The
inference has gone out that Speaker
Cannon is willing to let modified
bill go through, but as a matter of
fact he has given no utterance on the
subject Representative Burton an
nounces that he will fight the proposed
compromise as vigorously as he fought
the original bill, which is now on the
shelf of the dead ones"

Gompers Of the American Federation
Of Labor has been asked by leading
Chicago manufacturers to compel local
unions to cease fighting amoag them

the unions must abide by their written
contracts and conduct themselves
peaceably or else a great lockout,
which may involve as many as 5000
or 1000 skilled factory workers, will
follow.
After receiving the complaints Of the
employers Mr.. Gompers admitted that
they were In the right and declared

ONE HUNDRED FEMALE suFFRA-
cIsTS CAUSE DISTURBANCE
HOUSE OF coMMoss.
OFFICERS COMPELLED TO USE FORCE
VIGOROUS MEANS FINALLY re-
OF ARRESTS MADE,

London, Oct 24.-Unusual excite
ment in connection with the reorening
of parliament was caused by the pres
ence of about 100 woS1l suffragists,
many Of whom, despite the protests of
the police, managed to find their way
into the outer lobby of the house of
commons with the intention of button
holing the members in support of their
movement. A number of the suf-
fragists mounted vacant chairs in the
lobby and began to harangue the few
members Of parliament present in that
part of the house.
The police, after being reinforced,
made strategic advance against the
invaders, taking the women singly
and gradually elected them, one by
one, from the house The most mil
liant of the women struggled so des-
perately that two officers were re-
quired to remove them. The hysterical
shouting and screaming brought
crowds of members from the house
and the unwonted scene created tenn
porary excitement such as has seldom
been witnessed In or about the house.
During the height of the tumult a
small band of the staunchest suf
fragists determined to attempt to
break into the house itself and, as
though by concerted action, this band
suddenly charged towards the en-
trance of the inner lobby Some of
the women tried to climb over the
barrier and others attempted to crawl
utmost disorder prevailed and the po-
lice had all they could do to eject the
stern, determined women without
Utiiizi,1o More Vigorous Means,
which would have been used in the
case of men,. The women resolutely
refused to leave the house without be-
ing elected by force, clung tenaciously
to the stalwart policemen, the railings
or other means of support and offered
strenuous resistance to expulsion,
while shouts of I'VE will have votes"
and you cowardly men dare not give
us justice" resounded through the
halls.
Finally the police were forced to
carry out several of the women bodily
and the struggling and shouting suf-
fragists were all ultimately deposited
IN Palace yards, where for some time
they continued their vehement pro-
tests. A procession of house of COM
mons attendants followed the women,
bearing hats, cloaks and fragments of
millinery and finery dropped in the
scuf11e. So noisily demonstrative were
some of the leading suffragists that
after they had been expelled from the
house the police arrested several of
them and marched them off to the
nearest police station.
Altogether eight suffragists were
arrested, including the well known
leaders of the movement. Miss Kenney
and Miss Ellington, who will appear
In court charged with "riotous con-
duct"
