NO AGREEMENT

details of the agreement by which the
Cummins amendment to the traffic
agreement section was kept out of
the railroad bill in the senate were
given out by democrats yesterday in
view of the report that the minority

pledge vote to table" all amend
ments to section Z in return for q

STEEL LABORERS
HAVE Il HOUR DAY
MORE THAN 1000 WORK SEVEN
DAYS A WEEK AT SHILLING
AN HOUR.

Washington. May 5.-The report OF
the bureau of labor upon the condi-
tions at the Bethlehem Steel works,
of South Bethlehem, Pennsylvania,
which was submitted to the senate
yesterday, says that 1922 men
worked twelve hours day for seven
days a week, a large percentage OF
the laborers earning only 1919 cents
an hour.
A large number of those working
1015 hours, frequently were required,
it was stated, to work overtime on
week days and to do additional work
on Sundays, and it was a protest
against this requiring of work on
Sundays from employees who had the
shortest hours, that led to the strike
which began February 4.
The report of the bureau OF labor
was sent to the senate in response to
a resolution calling for it.

BULKELEY POKES
FUN At HEPBURN
IDAHO SENATOR GETS ON HIS
DIGNITY AND MAKES MAT
TIERS WORSE.
THEN CONNECTICUT soLoN AT
TEmPTs APOLOGY BUT TWAS
NOT SATISFACTORY.

Washington, May 5.-The word in
sulting" was used in debate in the
senate Yesterday. 1t was applied by
Senator Hepburn to remarks concern
ing him by Senator Buckley. The
Idaho senator, discussing the post
Office department bill, stated that in
order to insure their reaching their
destination he was compelled to reg
lister all the United States maps sent
out by him.
Mr. Buckley interpreted the state
ment as a reflection on the postoffice
department and said that he had a
contrary experience. He added that
he did not know what should be the
difference between Idaho and Con
necticut.
Something about his manner caused
the senators to laugh, and the mani
festation of mirth provoked a protest
from Mr. Hepburn. He said that Mr.
Bulkeleys remarks were insulting,
and it was regrettable that the sen
ate should be turned into a "giggling
school"
MIR. Buckley said that if the Idaho
senator's maps were lost, he had a
right to complain, and concerning Mr.
Hepburn, he said: His very pres
ence on the floor is apt to cause lit
tie amusement.
Mr.. Hepburn appealed to the chair
NO senator on the floor is entitled
to make a remark so full of intention,
al insult as that spoken by the sena-
tor from Connecticut, he said. The
rules provide protection against such
treatment
Mr. Buckley was beginning to say
that he had merely undertaken to de
fend the postofice department, but
Mr.. Hepburn would not permit him to
proceed. He demanded ruling on the
question of privilege which he raised
Yielding, the vice president held the
remark of the Connecticut senator TO
be in disparagement of his colleague.
Mr. Buckley was proceeding to say
that if he had said anything disturb
ing TO the peace of mind of the sena-
tor from Idaho, he would withdraw
the remark. Even this did not salts
fy Mr.. Hepburn, but the chair held
it to be sufficient amends and the IN
cident closed,

Chihuahua, Mexico, Dec. 21.-Forty-
two wounded government soldiers were
brought III, thus confirming reports
that the troop train which left here
Saturday was shot to pieces in the
mountain trap known as Malpaiso,
few miles east Of Pedernales and about
l20 miles west Of here. The official
report states that The federals lost
twentyone killed, ten missing and
forty-two wounded The latter in,
cludes Colonel Guzeman, who was in
command Of the expedition. The in
surrectos loss is not known here.
The train left here Saturday, travel

diers Pancho villa, the bandit who,
while operating independently, still re-
CARDS the government as his enemy,
fred on the second section as it was
passing through the Andanya canyon,
but did no damage.
The mountains Of Malpaiso, howey-
er, swalmed with reyolutionists. They
halted the first and also the second
sections as they came up. Colonel
| Guzeman disembraked his troops and
for five hours defended himself with
desperate courage He was in trap,
however. His enemy was on the
heights, sheltered BY boulders and 9TH
er protection north to the mountains,
and poured in deadly fire. He was
unable to use his big guns effectively
owing to the nature of the ground
Notwithstanding his precarious condi
tion and the number Of the insur-
lrectos, he held his ground for five
hours He was shot through the leg,
while the third officer in command was
raked across the stomach. Although
General Navarro was at Pedernales, or
near there he was unable to lend as
sistance.
Unconhrmed reports state that he
has his hands full with the rebels,
whom he has been fighting off and on
since Thursday When out with the
one-sided Battle, Colonel Guzeman
loaded his dead and wounded togeth-
er with the remainder Of hiy force,
onto the troop train and ran back to
Bustillos
Here the uninjured disembarked
buried their dead and prepared to seek
junction with Navarro by some route
other than the railroad.

ferred to it. This train arrived early

Signals Misunderstood.
The wreck was the result OF a mis-
understanding OF danger signal,
which the fiagman of a section force
claims TO have given the engineer OF
the wrecked train. The section men
moved one rail of the track just a
few moments before the wrecked
train was sighted. The section fore
man claims that torpedoes were
placed on the track at regulation dis
lance, and that his fiagman was sent
back in accordance with the rules.
The engineer stood nobly to his
post, preventing his train from being
wrecked on Cedar Run bridge and
hurting the passengers to death i'm a
swollen and seething stream. forty
feet below. He says the fiagman was
carrying his flag under his arm when
his train, running at fifty miles an
hour, shot past him. This statement
is corroborated by the fireman. Four
Sleepers and the baggage car were
wrecked. Twisted iron, broken car
wheels and bent rails were much in
evidence.
Fifty Feet Meant Death.
The track was plowed up for a dis
lance of zoe feet The engine part
ed from the train scarcely fifty feet
from the bridge, and was brought TO
a stop on the bridge. Had the train
gone the length of two coaches far
Their fearful loss of life would have
been inevitable.
