sausage suffer. who comes in contact
with Winthrop Beach, German spy. The
police are led to believe that Morris is
the spy, situations and complications
follow, and ii would spoil the story and
be unfair to the author to try and tell
the plot of this amusing play.

A CRIMINAL OFFENSE
Harbor Measure Keeps All
Of It's Items-S250,000
for Sanitarium

Washington, JAN 27.---RaiIroad strikes
and lockouts are not forbidden by the
terms of bill to supplement the Adam
son law which the Senate interstate com
merre committee virtually had completed
| yesterday. President Wilson had sug-
gested that provision be included to
prevent strikes or lockouts pending in
vestigation of differences. The new bill,
however, would make it a criminal Of
Tense, punishable by heavy fine, for a
railroad employee who has quit work to
| trespass on railroad property with view
to preventing by violence, intimidation
or threats, the operation of trains. An
other important provision of the bill
would authorize the president to take
over and operate "such part of a rail
road or its equipments as is necessary to
move troops or munitions in war time,
threatened war, or insurreetion.
A fine of 800, or Imprisonment for
six months, are the penalties for viola
ton of the trespassing provision. Chair
man Newlands said it would not apply
to picketing and the use of peaceful per-
suasion by strikers. The committee has
incorporated section declaring that
nothing in the bill shall be construed to
annul the provisions of the Clayton act
exempting labor and other organizations
from the operation of the antitrust
statutes.
Strike Out Income Tax Provision.
Democratic members Of the House
