EXPECTED MORE PROTECTION
Now Various Organizations Are Taking
Active Steps to Have Republicans
Act on Anti-Injunction Bill.

In the matter OF labor organizations
interesting themselves IN politics this
year. there is promise OF developments
Of an acute character az any time.
The organizations are not at all pleased
with the employers liability bill that has
been reported from the Senate Commit
tee They feel moreover that they have
been rather trified with because the bin
was brought only as result Of pledges
made while the rate bin was pending.
Senator La Toilette offered an amend
ment 10 the rate bill. embody1ng the
provisions of an employers liability
measure that was entirely satisfactory
10 the railroad men. who have taken
the lead in urging this class Of legisla-
ten.
Not Incorporated in Rate Bill.
There was objection to incorpora-
ing the measure into the rate bill on the
ground that II was a subject foreign TO
the matter of the bin. Senators rose and
gave assurances thar they were for the
bill and then members OF the commit
tee were recorded as promising a favor
able report on II without delay. Sena-
their places and recounting the assur-
ances they had received. either publicly
or privately. said they would vote
against the La Toilette amendment but
did so only from their confidence that
they would be given a chance this ses-
sion 10 vote on this bill.
