TREATY VOTE is

resolution denouncing the Russian

to 1, the one minority being Represent
ative George r. Malby OF the Twenty.
sixth district Of New York. The Ian
guage of the resolution as reported
unanimously from the committee on
foreign affairs was unchanged. al
though efforts were made by Mr.. Ohm
sted Of Pennsylvania and Mr.. Mann OF
Illinois to modify the recital that Rus
sia had violated the terms of the treaty
by refusing to wise passports for Amer,
lean citizens of Jewish birth or of
Catholic faith.
Government officials believe that the
vote by the house on the Sulzer resolu-
ton win bring Russia to a keener
realization Of the resentment felt In
the United States over the treatment
accorded by that country to American
Jews.
II is taken for granted that If the
president reports that ST. Petersburg
still refuses to make concessions the
senate win at once concur In the Sui
yer resolution.
representative Mccall of Massachu-
setts spoke in opposition to 1t. Repre-
sentative Mccall expressed the opIn-
ION that the trouble should be adjusted
by arbitration, declaring that as mat
ter Of policy it was unwise to abrogate
q treaty OF amity in the way proposed.
Representative Mann complained that
the language employed was curt and
impolitic. He objected specifically to
the provision which set forth in terms
that Russia has Disseminated against
American Jews. He urged that the
language be softened so as not to give
offense. Every motion that was made
proposing "a change in the resolution
was defeated by practically unani-
NOUS vote.
Nearly forty members OF the house
spoke In support OF the sulzer resolu-
ton.

WORK AT DOCK
Barber Men Dissatisfied With
Pay-- Unloading Boat.

About seventy ship men employed
at the Barber Asphalt Paving Cora
pany's plant to unload vessels OF
asphalt have quit work because they
were dissatisfied with the rate OF pay
allotted to them. During the warm
summer months of this year they re-
ceived an increase in the rate per
ton of asphalt for its removal from
ships. This was reduced Noven ber
i because the concern considered
the work more difficult and eonse-
queutly worth more Ia summer than
In winter.
Dissatisfaction over the change on
November 1 caused the men to quit
work Monday, after being refused
demanded increases OF twenty ave
and fifty per cent. on the rate per
