Senator in the luxurious bath rooms

John Sharp Williams of Mississippi
yesterday renewed the agitation TO!
the removal of the baths to make

"Let US move out the baths" said
Mr.. Williams. "There is no use tc
have the Government battle US. Tht

and is of little use. 1t is like 60
ing through bull pasture with REQ

chance to rake and the graft isn't
worth while. There is no sense in it,

following:

of things, there is no telling what

pear in Congress in the future. In

NO PEACE IN SIGHT.

Seven persons, including two wo-
men, were wounded in a battle yes
terday between the police and band
of striking Lancaster Mill weavers.
The police were compelled to use then
revolvers, while the strikers hurled
bricks and stones at the officers. No
arrests were made. One man was SER
iously injured.
Forty policemen charged three
times on crowd of 800 textile mill
strikers, who were massed on slope
in the church yard of Our Lady of the
Rosary at Clinton, Mass.
Notwithstanding the many move
ments inaugurated for the purpose
of bringing about more amicable re-
lations between employers and en-
ployees, the world is still convulSeG
with wars and rumors of wars be-
tween industrial organizations, and
people conducting business enterpris-
eS. AS soon as one contention is SET
tied cloud is seen coming from an
other direction, and while optimists
are crying peace the fact remains that
there is no peace, nor is it in sight.

THE SENATE ACTS WISELY.

We congratulate the Democrats OF
the Senate who threw aside party
lines yesterday and voted for an am
endment to the navy bill providing
for two additional battieships for the
navy. The vote was so pronounced
that there is but little chance of the
conference committee consenting to
make any change from the stand
that the Senate has taken and it is
thought that the two ships will now
be provided for without further de-
bate. This is the proper thing to do.
The Democrats in the House have
made their position on economical
plain to the country at large,
and they can now retire gracefully
from their position on the battleship
question as the Senate has refused
to concur with them in this part OF
their program.
