SABOTAGE BILL IS
NOW Up TO WILSON
Carries Penalties of 30 Years and
Fines of $4,000.
ACCEPTED BY THE SENATE
Conference Report Eliminating Pro.
visions Designed to Punish Strike
ers on War Contracts Ap-
proved by Upper Body.

Washington, April 1.-THE sabotage
bill, carrying penalties of 80 years inn
prisonment and fines of $4,000
for injuring war materials or Interior
ing with war industry, was made ready
for the presidents signature when the
senate accepted conference report
| eliminating provisions designed to
punish strikers on war contracts.
The report was adopted after de-
| bate, during which Senators Sherman
Of Illinois and McCumber of North
Dakota asserted that the labor situa-
ton was getting beyond the control
of labor leaders and that congress
should take action.
Senator Hollis of New Hampshire
defended the loyalty Of labor declar-
ing that strikes in this country today
were 'inconsiderable" and saying the
passage of legislation designed to pre-
vent peaceful strikes would not tend
to increase labors efficiency. He de-
MED that labor was responsible for the
delay in the airplane program, holding
that capital was at fault
Laws Do Not Force Work.
"You can't make men work by pass
ing laws Senator Hollis said 81
concur in the opinion of President
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor that If congress passes a law
preventing peaceful strikes that law
cannot be enforced"
Senator McCumber said that never
have there been as many strikes In
the history of the country as there
have been since the United States en-
tered the war, although during that
period labor has been better treated
and received higher wages than ever
before.
The North Dakota senator deplored
what he termed "A lack of courage by
members of congress to oppose or
ganized labor because of political in
lluence and said the anti-strike pro-
vision Of the bin should have been re-
tanned.
Senator Hardwick of Georgia as
serted congress ought to prohibit
strikes of workers engaged in the
manufacture of war necessities and at
the same time insure fair treatment
i for labor.
Holds Gompers Sincere.
Senator sherman said he believed
+ President Gompers and other officials
of the American Federation of Labor
were "sincere, loyal and patriotic" In
! their efforts TO control union labor.
I hut he added that Mr.. Gompers knew
the whole coal bin I'm the Missouri
valley Is on the edge of a volcano"
and that strikes were contemplated

Property Damage

CHICAGO, May 21.-Inside history
of the ruin wrought by the l. W. w.
in the hop fields and fruit orchards
of California by the practice of sabot-
age several years ago in an effect to
obtain the release from prison of Rich
ard Ford and Herman Suhr. members
Of the organization convicted on
charges of murder and sentenced to
life imprisonment, was revealed to-
day at the trial of l12 I. w. w. lead
ers.
The government attorneys read a
number of letters written by Charles
L. Lambert, of Sacramento, Cal, who
was secretary of the Hop Pickers' De-
fence Committee in 1914 and later
elected a member of the general exec
utive board of the I. W. w. He was
one of the leaders who directed the un-
successful fight conducted by the or
ganization in California in the hope
that the Governor might be Influenced
to pardon Ford and Suhr
According TO Lambert, the l. w. W..
campaign Of sabotage resulted in the
destruction of property valued at S10,-
100000 annually for several years.
In letter written to George Childs,
treasurer of the Joe Hill defence fund,
Lam bert, under date of August 4, 1915,
said:
There is SO little justice toward our
class that we will have to change our
tactics, and in the future when one Of
our class is murdered in the interest
of capitalism, two of theirs should be
murdered in the interest of labor, and
then the authorities will have more
respect for Us. We will have to use
more direct action"
Lambert declared, "Our only hope
lies in sabotage and direct action" in
a letter addressed to Dick Highfield at
Oatman, Ariz.
In a letter written to G.. ]. Bourp.
another defendant in the present trial.
Lambert told of property in California
valued at $2,000,000 being destroyed by
fire and added:
This does not seem to have wake d
them up yet, but if they get enough of
1t they will wake up and get move
on"
He concludes this letter by telling
of the killing Of Sheriff Meadows, Of

To Seize $50 Bakeries

1t is intimated that unless the 500
striking bakers in the lower East Side
soor come to terms the Federal Food
Board will take over the 15O bakeries
where the men were employed and op-
crate them under Federal supervision.
These bakeries produce about Is per
cent Of the city's bread and roll sup
ply.
There was a meeting of the master
bakers in the office of Arthur Will
lams, of the Food Board, yesterday,
but no definite results were attained.
There Will be another meeting Friday
morning. The strikers say they have
been receiving $27, $29 and $35 a week.
They ask for $50, s35 and $40, with
their working day an hour shorter.
Five macaroni dealers were before
the Federal Food Board yesterday,
charged with violating the rule forbid
ding the use of more than 70 per cent
of flour in the making of spaghetti

lotta, 430 West Thirty ninth Street,

Senator's loyalty and urging his re-
moval do not constitute a cuse for
action, and that for that reason the
committee has no jurisdiction.
"The resolution of the Public Sofety
Commission, which is the basis of this
investigation, does not contain any
charge or suggestion that any state
ment in the speech is inaccurate in
point of fact" said the brief presented
to the committee by Roe. Senator
La Toilette has affirmed in this record
that he believed all statements in the
speech to be true at the time he made
them, AID that he still believes them
to be true.
"Whteher Senator La Toilette was
right or wrong he had right to his
views, and he had right to express
them precisely as any Senator or any
other citizen had a right to express
his views on the same question.
Entirely Misquoted"
ut is true that all the newspapers
OF the country served by The Associ-
ated Press the day after the speech
entirely misquoted Senator La Toilette
as proved by the record, and made
him say the very opposite of what he
really said concerning our grievances
against Germany, which led to the war
1T is true that this falsehood has been
repeated and multiplied during all the
months that have since elapsed, and
las been cunningly used to procure
votes of condemnation from various
individuals and bodies throughout the
country. Through all this Senator La
Foilette mas remained silent"
(Ihe record of the Senate committee
shows that the La Toilette case has
been under consideration eight months
and that the Associated Press account
Of the st. Paul speech, so far as the
record shows, has never been chal-
lenged before.)
Even If Senator La Toilette had said
| the things he is charged with saving he
would have been entirely within his
rights. 1t is only by distorting the i'm
promptu retorts of Senator La Toilette
to the Interruptions from the audience
into complete discussion of the intri.
cate causes Of the war that anything
can be round in the speech to which
the most Jealous partisans of the Ad-
ministration can object,
"a Baseless Attack
"But under any construction possible
to put upon it it does not even an.
proach to an improper discussion Of
the war.
There never was more baseless at.
tack made upon the character and repu.
tation Of public man than that made
upon Senator La Toilette by the filing
OF the charges in question.
Il respectfully submit that this hon.
orable committee should promptly re-.
port said charges to be wholly mn,
founded" Wv
The copy of the speech as furnished
to the committee, Mr.. Roe said. was
incorrect, but mot as grossly incorrect
as that carried by the press bureaus"

"What can be done elsewhere can
also be done here" was the message
of the Centennial Celebration of the
New York Institution for the Deaf and
Dumb, held yesterday afternoon at the
school, 163d Street and Fort Wash
ington Avenue.
The audience was composed largely
of students and veteran graduates OF
the institution, and was reached
through the language of the hands
each spoken address being translated
by Principal Isaac B. Gardner and In
structor Elwood Stevenson, whose elo-
quent fingers all but kept pace with
the speakers
Preceding a demonstration by the
pupils of the methods used in teach
ing them to speak. sing and play band
music, President Thatcher NJ Adams
declared that out of thousands of grad
yates of the school less than pei
cent have failed to make successful
livelihoods.
Veteran Graduate Makes Good
AS living testimonial of his asser-
ton, Albert A. Barnes. the oldest liv-
ing graduate, delivered a silent ad-
dress, commenting upon the improved
methods Of teaching the deaf and
dumb. The veteran graduate mas for
forty years been an employe of the
New York Postofice.
The demonstration by the pupils
was opened by the first year class
consisting of children five or six years
old. Led by their teacher, Miss Agnes
Farnum, they grouped themselves
upon the stage about a table Uttered
with toys.
Each object was in turn called of
by the children, in artificial but in
telligible tones
Although it looked easy. it was hard
as one of the small students proved by
her repeated failure to pronounce the
word "lamb." 1t required Miss Far
NUNS hand upon her chest to convey
the vibration of that particular word
Next was "Pabbling for Voice Pro.
duction," accomplished by the aid OF
Miss Mildred E. Caswelf, instructor in
musical vibratory rhythm. With their
hands placed upon the casing of s
piano, the children pitched their voices
in tune with the note struck by Miss
Caswell. The results of this founda-
tionof voice control through rhythmic
musical vibrations were terrified tc
when a group of boys in the academic
grade conversed with the audience.
