ed south-bound Eighth avenue car
near Hath street, knocked down and
beat the conductor, robbed him of all
the money he had with him and ter

The passengers were warned not to
leave their seats until the gang had
worked its will with the conductor
and escaped. In the midst OF the
fracas, the motorman, who had kept
the car moving at its usual pace,
blew his whistle for a policeman.
When the officer appeared the ter
rorized conductor meekly said the
men who had committed the robbery
had escaped, although they were
then on the car When the car had
gone a few blocks farther the con-
ductor was beaten again and severely
bruised. The men then escaped from
the car with their loot.

Whipping Majority Into Line.

The parallel to that situation is fast
being developed this session. The House
Democrats started their flibuster TO
force the Republicans to support GER
tain bills representing the policies of
the President. There probably has been
10 time In a month when the President
could not have mustered enough in
sUrgent Republicans TO make a con1bi-
nation with the Democrats secure a
majority of the House. and pass his
measures. But he has not done it that
way.
Instead, the Administration set about
10 bring the Republicans into line so
that when the bills passed they should
have enough Republican votes to insure
their success even If no Democratic
votes were cast for them. In all prob
ability, from present manifestations,
this win be the conclusion. The Re
publicans, with their usual capacity for
doing so, will get together, will dictate
the form in which the measures will
