SENATORS DEN0UNCE
RAID ON "SLACKERS'

The recent New York roundup in
an effort to locate men evading the
Army draft was severely denounced
today in the Senate as unauthorized
and violation OF individual liberty.
Senator Smoot introduced a resolu-
ton providing for Investigation by the
military affairs committee to fix re-
sponsibility for the raids in New York,
Chicago and other places.
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon,
chairman of the military committee,
called the Senate's attention to the
wholesale arrests in New York, for
which he declared there was no legal
authority. Stating that while he de-
spised the so-called Stacker" never
theless they should be reached by
due process of law.
Items Of thousands of innocent
young men were hauled before the
courts" Senator Chamberlain de-
clared, adding that in Maryland Young
men working in shellmaking plants
were arrested and subjected to op-
probrium as slackers.
Il don't know who is responsible"
said Mr.. Chamberlain, 'but the coun-
try will not stand for and ought not
to stand for these innocent young men
being put in prison."
II the round-upS are continued.
Senator Chamberlain predicted. young
men working: under deferred draft
classification and subjected to arrest
will leave their war work.
Senators Calder of New York. Bran
degee of Connecticut. Gore of Okla

others also denounced the practice.

PRESIDENT GIVES REASON
FOR EXECUTIVE LENIENCY

In reviewing court-martial sem
fences growing out of the mutiny of
negro soldiers at Houston in 1917.
President Wilson said:
1.-THE review which I have been
called upon to make, therefore, in
wolves death penalties imposed upon
sixteen persons. OF these I have at
firmed six, because the persons in
volved were found guilty by plain
evidence of having deliberately, under
circumstances of shocking brutality,
murdered designated and peaceably
disposed civilians.
THE remaining ten death sentences
I have committed to life imprison-
ment for the reason that, while deep
ly engaged in this riotous mutiny, the
men involved are not shown by the
record personally and directly to have
caused the death of designated indi.
viduals.
The offense of which these SOL
diers were guilty is one of the great
est gravity: the government relies
upon its soldiers for the defense Of
the liberties OF the people; and when
soldiers. forgetting their obligations,
break over the restraints of discipline
and become p riotous and murderous
mob, the very foundations of order
are shaken.
when peaceably disposed and In
nocent civilians are the victims Of this
sort of riot a stern redress Of their
wrongs Is the surest protection Of
society against their recurrence"
