tor Thomas lColO.) In the Senate yes
terday demanded the immediate recon-
vention Of Congress to enact ironclad
anti-strlke legislation.
Senator Thomas declared that the
peace lime offers OF wUI kiGen to better

more money usually had his sympathy
but that strlhjne at this line was noll.-
ing more or less than helping the
enemy.
"Wnlle our troops and our Allies
troops are lighting day and night" said
Senator Thomas, lit is certainly un-
fortunate that we should have work.
men striking in this country. It shows
an Indifference TO duty and to the re-
quirements OF the times. The failure
OF the strikers to do their duty is Civ
ing aid and comfort TO the enemy. 1t
should be treated as such.
These strikers injure our cause in
a manner more actual and more terri
bic than have the disloyalists. The
time has come when Congress should
convene and act TO meet this situa-
tlon. Maximum wages should be fixed
by law and strikes should be dealt with
as other forms OF disloyalty are dealt
with"
All strikers at this time are proflteers
OF the worst sort, said Mr.. Thomas.

ASKS WHY U-RA|DER
ESCAPED AIR bombs
Daniels Orders Inquiry as
to Failure of Missiles in
Cape Cod Attack
TUGBOAT IS
TOWED INTO PORT

WASHINGTON, July 23-Secretary
Daniels has asked the commandant OF
the First Naval District for report
concerning the reasons for the failure
OF bombs to explode after they were
dropped by naval aviators who yester-
day attacked a German submarine of
the Massachusetts, coast The aviators
twice circled over the submarine when
1t was shelling tug and barges, but
apparently none Of the bombs they lei
loose exploded.
BOSTON, July 23,-An investigation
was started TO determine why bombs
carried by naval ayiators failed to ex-
plode when dropped on or about the
German submarine which attacked the
tug Perth Amboy and her barges off
Cape Cod on Sunday.
Experts at the headquarters OF the
First Naval District here said the bombs
were provided TO the different naval
districts with explicit instructions that
the mechanism must not be overhauled
nor any effort made to improve IL. 1t
was reported some svlators had said
some bombs had failed In tests.
Rear Admiral Spencer S. Wood, com
mandlng the district, refused to com
ment on the report that the bombs
dropped by the airmen were "duds'. In
report to the attack he said:

there and dropped two bombs. the ex-
plosion OF either one Of which might
have been effective in destroying the
hostile craft.
"The whole occurrence from a STRAIT
ogic point Of view impresses me as lit
tie short OF ridiculous. ] gave the
Germans credit FOR having more sense
than to waste good ammunition on a
couple Of scows worth hardly more
than the ammunition that sank them,

due TO desire TO impres the American

country, 10 renewed activities 10 end
the war. II was more or less in the na-
ture OF a circus stunt done also to inn
press the German people with the idea
that the submarine warfare is being
carried TO the very shores Of America
and that the campaign Of frightfulness
is being wsged relentlessly."
No further reports from the submar
ine were received, although vigllan
watch was kept along the coast b!
naval patrol boats and hydroplanes.
Though the port OF Boston was no
closed, merchant ships and other un
protected craft were warned of tn
danger OF leaving harbor. The submar.
inc WAS headed south when last seer
yesterday, but naval authorities ex-
pressed the opinion tho boat might bob
up again on the New England coast
and were prepared for any eventuality.

Naval District here indicated the pres
