coin will be erected in Washington.
The house without the formality of
roll call accepted the bill recently
passed by the senate, indorsing the
plans of the fine arts commission, ap-
propriating $2,OOO,00O for the me-
mortal, to be located in Potomac park,
close to the Washington monument
and in view of Arlington, the home
OF Robert f.. Lee. The measure later
was sent to President Taft, who put
his signature to it, making it law.
The park is two miles in length, at
one end ~' whicn is The national

Although threats had been made in
the house that the proposed memorial,
favored by commission made up Oi
President Taft, Speaker Champ Clark,
former Speaker J. &. Cannon and
others, would be defeated and high
way between Washington and Gettys-
burg substituted, opponents at the last
moment threw up their hands and
yielded to the prevailing sentiment.
After hours of oratory on the part
of members who favored or opposed
the plans of the commission Repre-
sentative Borland offered a resolution
recommitting the bill to the library
committee of the house, but the best
he could do was to muster thirty-one
votes and his plans failed.

would restrict the president and
vice president to single term OF

son, Theodore Roosevelt and William
H. Taft from again seeking election
was approved by the senate by the
narrow majority of one vote.
After bitter fight in which the
Progressives joined with many Re
publicans in opposing the restricted
presidential term, the senate adopted
the original Works resolution by a
vote of AZ to %.
Senator Bristow's proposal that a
president could be recalled at any
regular election was voted down, 90
to TO- and Senator Hoke Smith )
amendment to make the single term
four years instead OF six was defeat
ed, AZ to %.
The closest votes came on Senator
Owens amendment for direct, popu-
lar vote on president and vice presi'
dent, defeated 30 to 81, and Senator
Paynter's amendment to lengthen to
six years the term of the president
who might be in office when the CON
stitutional amendment was finally rati-
fed. This was defeated, &c to 30.
Proposals for two four-year terms
and one fouryear term, suggestions
to modify the resolution so it would
not affect Taft, Wilson or Roosevelt,
and amendments to make it apply
only to presidents elected after its
ratification, were all defeated by large
majorities.

FIGHTING TO UNIONIzE PLANTS
Former Employees of the Steel Trust
Appear Before Federation Officials
and Tell Of system Of Oppression"

Secretary Frank Morrison Of the
American Federation Of Labor is in
charge of the strike of steel workers
in the Rankin and Braddock CPa) dis
tricts.
The steel strike will be the first bat
tie in the new aggressive campaign
decided upon by the federation against

their workmen to the level Of serfs." ="

targets upon which the American Fed
Grafton in the immediate future will
center its fire in an active warfare tc
unionize all employees and through or
ganization to effect ameliOration OF
working conditions, increased pay and
recognition of the union.
Some of the strikers said that their
principal grievance is system of pay
ing under which a pieceworker does
not know how much he is making
until pay day. They assert that under
the tonnage system, under which it is
said that wages are pooled among the
men according to their positions and
general production, is unfair. They
want also to be paid for time lost at
their machines when repairs are being
made
John Blotnek, local organizer of the
American Federation of Labor, said
that the men want either to be paid
day work for time lost when machines
are being repaired and when they are
compelled to wait for material, or be
sent home and use their time as they
see fit. He asserted that many of the
men have done much work for which
they were not paid.

with revolvers and rifles and strikers

with stones, in Hawkins avenue, Ran

fatally. The dead and the wounded
