SENATE COMMITTEE
DOWNS CONFUSION
Would Not Prevent Compul-

Prohibition of Strikes

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE railroad
brotherhoods and the American Fedora
ton of Labor have won the round in
their fight to prevent the administration
putting through legislation that will tie
the hands of labor in disputes with en-
ployes. By vote of to the Senate
committee on interstate commerce yes
terday decided not to recommend the
item IN the presidents program calling
for measure similar to the Canadian
disputes act, which would prohibit the
calling of strike pending the result
of an investigation into the merits of
the controversy. Senators Smith OF
South Carolina, and Underwood of Ala
bama, Democrats, voted with the Repub-
licans against the Canadian plan. The COM
mittee voted instead to empower the
board of mediation and Cancellation to
conduct Investigations in such cases, and
although these were made compulsory
as far as the calling of witnesses and
the giving of testimony is concerned, the
investigation would not operate to pre-
vent declaring a railroad strike while the
inquiry was under way.
This action is a reputation by the
committee of perhaps the most vital
demand in the presidents program, the
main purpose of which is to make rail
road strikes practically impossible. IL
is known that the president has expect

but heard and saw nothing. The door
leading into the office of the firm was
not forced or marked, and it is believed
the robbers entered by means of key
as employees are positive it was locked
as usual.
This is the third safe that has been
opened in almost the same manner in
the financial district since November
of last year. The first was in the office
OF William Sheldon, II Broadway, when
man, posing as an employee of the firm,
entered its offices without suspicion and
escaped. In that case, however, the per-
sons in charge of the building knew
that the man had entered the Office, but
thought he was doing night work.
The cracking of safe of an insurance
with offices in the Woolworth
building occurred some time during the
three days of the New Years holiday.
The conditions were almost identical
with that of the Berner robbery. The
door had been opened with a key, and
the safe had not been touched.
The theft was only discovered ON exam
ming the interior.
Near the safe at that time small
tool, similar to, a jewelers. punch, was
discovered. But it was too delicate an
to have been of use in crack
ing the safe, the police believe. Futher-
more there were no scratches on the
safe.

Report for Week Ending Jan. 10.

| Subsequent to the meetings held Dec
30 in the various counties of New Eng
land regarding the formation of the New

held meeting in Boston Jan. 10, for til,
purpose of drawing new constitution
and putting the n. +. M. p. A. on 1

pleased to note that the association viii
be so conducted as to represent fairly
the interests of the milk in Vermont al

Under the present scheme of organiza.
ton the n. +. NJ. p. A. will be made up

1t is gratifying TO note that Vermont's
voice was heard and heard strongly, in

The various county committees of the
state appointed at the meetings of Dec.
30th. met at Burlington on the night of
Jan. and informally discussed the pos

nous in believing that the presidents
program, as embodied in the the new

measure of fairness to the railroads,
could not pass Congress in the present
session, and many of them, as the vote
yesterday shows, regard the Canadian

not, the senator's have demonstrated that
