whether Mr.. La Toilette favored legis-
Ia ton in the postoffice appropriation
bill which would sanction a strike OF

THAT is offensive" retorted Sen7-
tor Root. Il have asked the senator
what is his position in regard TO the
right of postal employees to strike
Il do not sanction legislation hat
would in any way authorize strikes on
the part of postal employees" replied
Mr.. La Toilette. Then the squall blew
over, with several senators remarking
that a false issue had been raised.
The clash came up over a provision
in the bill which would prevent any
organization of postal employees from
Joining with any other organiza tion.
Several senators contended i vas

contention sharply.
The next step would be a strike Of

into custody Sam Schepps, held as a
material witness in the Rosentha1

Schepps refused to comment on the re-

After holding him three days, the
time limit under the law, the police
turned Schepps over to the postmas-

has been hidden until the arrival Of
