Obligation.
HOT DEBATE IN SENATE
Smith Maintains Men Should Be
Allowed to Exercise
Right.

Washington, Aug. 13.-An attempt
to amend the postoffice appropriation
bill to prohibit employees joining sec
ret organizations outside of the de-
partment was defeated by the SEN
ate, 81 to 20, after a sharp fight with
the possibility of strike against the
government freely discussed.
LaFollette refused to 20 further in
to his charge that his mail was rifled.
Officials of the department character
lied the charge as absurd. LaFoi-
lette's investigation related TO the
right of postal employees to organize.
CLAIMS THEY HAVE RIGHT.
When the provision came up Smith
of South Carolina claimed fatty that
postal employees had the right to
strike. Root and Sutherland attacked
the contention sharply.
The next step will be a strike of
military and naval forces and other
government employees" declared Root.
The next thing we know we will have
10 government"
Smith replied that the soldiers and
sailors were held by enlistment con
| tracts.
WHAT HAPPENED TO FRANCE.
Does the senator know what hap.
pened to France when the postal and
! telegraph employees struck against the
government" queried Sutherland.
Il do not want to compare the
American people with the efrervescent
spirit of the people of France" re-
piled Smith.
Crawford declared Smiths proposal
would give the governments approval
to postal employees siding in sympa-
thetic strikes, which might menace
the governmental service, or of join
ing some dynamiters' organization"
Several senators Contended that the
amendment to prevent organization of
the postal employees was framed di-
rectly to prevent affliation with the
American Federation of Labor.
TACKS ON AMENDMENTS.
The senate finally agreed to the
house provisions with two amendments
by Reed. One is to allow the depart.
ment to remove employees who are
members of an organization affiliated
with any outside organization which
imposes an obligation or duty to strike
or assist a strike against the govern
ment. The second declares the rights
Of any individual in the government
