With One Adverse Vote.
THOMAS GETS BITTER
Upbraids Congress for Unwill-

the engrossed bill TO be signed by the
speaker Of the house, but 1t will go to

Debate on the report revolved about
the action OF the senate conferees in
receding from the senate work or

to be dropped from the bin and opened
up an avenue for harsh and vigorous
criticism of Secretary of War Baker.
Senator Thomas Of Colorado, author
Of the original work or tight" amend
ment, held such strong convictions on
the need for anti strike legislation that
ne cast the only votesagainst the aoou-
ton Of the conference report. The
vote was taken without a roll call.
Fears Organized Labor.
Senator McCumber. in plain-spoken
terms, told the congress that 1t feared
the political power OF organized labor

Conscience Guide
In Motor Saving
Allied Drive Has Greatly Increased
Need for Gasoline Which Auto
Less Sundays May Provide.

Washington, Aug 30.--Each indi-
vidual's own conscience must be his
Judge in the matter of using his auto
mobile, motorcycle or motor boat Sun
days. which are interdicted east of the
Mississippi river for motoring by patri-
otto appeal Of the United States fuel
That was the final Interpretation by
DR.. Harry A. Garfield. federal fuel ad-
ministrator, this afternoon, in dis
cussion OF what vehicles might be
used In certain circumstances.
No person in actual need of the use
Of a motor conveyance ts under moral
obligation to deny himself that facil-
|ity: every person who Is not In actual
need OF a motor conveyance can reach
his destination by other means. or can
postpone his travel, ID distinctly under
moral obligation TO forego the motor
ing that gasoline may be assured for
the allied drive that has increased the
demand for overseas gasoline.
On this basis, Dr. Garfield said. mo-
tor bus lines. such az the motor bus
lines in New York city and esta blished

other means OF transportation. may
operate as usual. and taxicabs may be
operated in the Judgment OF the indi-
vidual company Ms to extent and place.
Motoring for all necessary uses is
expected to continue. The request. DIR.
GARFIELD emphasized. Is intended to
work real hardship on no one. and Is
a request, not an order. to be inter-
preted intelligently, not followed siav-
ishly Its sole purpose Is to eliminate
for the number of Sundays necessary
the kind OF motoring and consumption
OF needed gasoline usually devoted TO
purposes.
