 trict of Colorado.

Trinidad, Colo, May 12.-Ffve strikebreakers were deported by the military authorities at Aguilar today when they applied for work in the Royal mine because the strikers ob- jected to their presence. The men were put aboard a train bound for Denver.
 P. E. Quinn, union leader in the Aguilar district. said tonightthat con 'ditions in that section probably were better than at any other point. He added that Captain Johnston of the federal forces had treated the strik- CTS fairly and that treatment had done more toward inducing the men to sur render their arms than all the talking the union men could have done

HOUSE DEMOCRATS
 TO LIMIT PROGRAMME.
Vote in Caucus to Let Rural Credits Go Over Until Next Winter.

Washington. May 12.-Tiouse demo- cratS in caucus tonight voted to limit the legislative programme for the re- mainder of this session to antitrust measures and appropriation bills Ru- ral credits will go over unti, next winter.
 Of the 230 members who attended the caucus. not more than 20 voted against the programme. Majority Leader Un- derwood outlined the plans of the ad- miaistratioT, and explained that the work of the session was being curtail- ed fin the hope of an adjournment of congress by July 10." President Will son has suggested to house leaders who called upon him early in the evening that no attempt be made to pass rural credits during the present session.
 The caucus voted to have the house devote the next two weeks to consid- eration of the antitrust bills, the Gov ingt0n interstate trade commission bin, the Clayton antitrust bill and the Reyburn message for federal control appropriation bills are to be taken up.
 The prohibition and woman suffrage proposed constitutional amendments were not considered by the caucus on the ground that they were not party measures. The action of the caucus, sideration in the house if they are reached after the programme as ar ranged has been disposed of.
 In presenting the administration plan MT. Underwood said the presi- dent had counted upon inclusion of rural credits. because of pledges in the party platform, but that with the banking and currency committee abso- Iutely unable to agree it was impracti- cable to make it a fixed part of the pro- gramme for the present session. Inei- dentally MT. Underwood referred with feeling to hls coming removal from the house to the senate.

VOTE NOT IMMINENT
 ON TOLLS EXEMPTION CLAUSE
Numerous Senators Have Sisnified In-
 tention to Speak on Measure.

Washington, May 12.-It became ap- parent today that the senate cannot reacn vote on the proposed repeal of the tolls exemption clause of the Pan anna canal act for at least ten days or two weeks. unless democratic lead CTS make an extraordinary effort to speed up the proceedings, as half a. dozen senators have announced their intention to speak on the tolls ques- ton, and several more gave similar notice today. It is probable that if teen will have to be heard before the vote can be taken. and under the pres ent arrangement with only one senator speaking each day, action on the re- peal bill is still some distance in the future.
 In the three hours it gave to tolls today the senate listened to a speech by Senator Smith, who favors repeal, ana to debate between Senators Borah and Williams over regulations governing the Weliand canal, which led to dispute between the United States and Great Britain several years ago.
