WASHINGT0N,.oct 11.--Sat-
urday, the final day Of the war
session, the special committee of
senators that Investigated the
street railway strike Of last spring
in the national capital made it's re-
port. This report denounces the
arbitrary and selfish course taken
by President King Of the WASH

declares that had the committee
any power to do so, it would put
back in their old jobs the strikers,

no immediate help to the men

Twin CITY STREET
CAR STRIKE ENDED
Union Men Return to Work After
Adjustment By Safety Com
mission,

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct. 11.-After a
strike of several hundred conductors
and motormen employed by. the Twin
City Rapid Transit company had de-
moralized street car traffic since Sat-
urday morning, the strikers unani-
mously decided Tuesday night to
agree to an order of the Minnesota
Public Safety commission terminating
the strike.
An organization movement was
started recently, and Sc employees
were discharged for joining the union.
1t was the reinstatement of these men
that precipitated the trouble. The
union men are to return to their old
runs, and those who were discharged
before the walkout was ordered are
to apply for reinstatement to their
former station foremen and, if re-
fused, are to sunbit their claims to
the Public Safety commission, which
will effect adjustment of the individ-
ual cases.
T. F. Shinn, vice president of the
Amalgamated Electrical Railways
Workers unions, said that the condi-
tions of settlement as put forth in the
order of the Public Safety commits
sion, settled all differences.

Fight Against Censorship Fails.
The most depressing phase of the
session has been the failure of the
long fight made by Senators johnson
OF California, Borah of Idaho, Thomas
OF Colorado, La Toilette of Wisconsin
and others, against press censorship.
A free press was one Of the funda-
mentals of civil liberty demanded in
the manifesto adopted by the heads
or all of the International unions
comprising the American Federation
or Labor, on March IL last. The last
days OF September saw the adoption
or a clause in the trading-with-the-
enemy act which, If administered by
the postmaster general as he has ad-
m1nistered the espionage act, would
make him the sole judge as to whett-
er an aggressive labor journal should
live or be put out Of business. This
new law forbids the delivery or cir
culation Of any paper which has been
judged by Postmaster General Burle-
son to be non-mailable. Once de-
prlved of the. mailing privilege, 4
paper is to be legally dead. Several
labor papers are said to be on the
verge Of being suppressed unless they
change their line Of comment on tho
policies of the government in the war
and in diplomacy.
Debate on War.
The final day of the session was
marked by a dramatic debate in tho
senate, in which La Toilette, who put
the Seamen's act on the statute books,
and who alone made possible The
women's elght-hour law in the Dis
trict of Columbia, defended the right
and duty of congress to advise and
direct the president as to the purposes
and ending Of war in which the coun-
try is engaged. His opponents in this
debate were Kellogg of Minnesota,
Fall Of New Mexico ana Robinson of
Arkansas. Robinson led the fight in
the senate last year for the Child
Labor act. Kellogg and Fall have
never been identified with any labor
interest or sympathy.
It is a safe prediction that La Fol-
lette and Robinson will continue to
work together, for years to come, in
behalf of legislation in congress to
advance condition of the wage worker.

Reform of taxation, exempting Improvements

upon privilege and big incomes.
Experimentation; abolishment of parties at

Land for the landless; government aid and en-
couragement in opening land to any person able
and willing to cultivate it; this to include taking
land from spectators and the reclamation of un-
