to buildings is so slight that one

QUESTION of pneumatic and mail

which provides for an appropriation
of S13S,0O0.00O, an increase Of SAL
500. 600 over the house bill, was
passed without record vote. 1t now
goes to conference.
Efforts TO attach an amendment
to the measure suspending for at
least a year operation of the act
effective July 1, increasing second
class postal rates were abandoned
late today after supporters of the
amendment became convinced that
it would be defeated. The amend
ment was urged by publishers. but
many senator's questioned the legal
ity of attaching il 10 an appropria-
ton bill. Later an effort will be
made 10 add it TO some other bill,
it was said.
During debate to-day sevral sen
ators attacked the proposal TO sus-
pend the second class mail increases
Sen. Gronna of North Dakota, re-
publican. said the increase works
no injustice 10 small newspaper pub
fishers and that all of them do not
oppose it, while Sen. Hardwick of
Georgia, democrat, presented
resolution of the Missouri Press as
sociatiOn favOring the increase.
Under the bill as adopted city
mail carriers, clerks and other
postal employees would be granted
an increase in pay of 5000 a year
while rural carriers would receive
an increase of 20 per cent over their
present salaries. over time pay for
postal employees also is provided in
a committee amendment which the
senate accepted today &c to p, af-
ter it once had rejected it.

priatiOns appropriating 100000

service between cities to be desig-
mated by the postmaster general and
fixing the postage cost for such mail
at "a cents an ounce or fraction
thereof. Sen. King of Utah, demo-
crat, led a fight to eliminate this
section, opponents claiming that
such experiments should not be con
Quoted during the war because of
the need of airplanes in France.
Before passing the bill the SEN
ate by a vote of 81 TO 19. ratified
its action of last Tuesday in accept
ing the amendment to purchase the

OF terrOrizing civilians.
The purpose OF the fight behind
the lines Is 20 break down the mo-

such a point that they will ask their
governments for peace. X is the
most dastardly, unrighteous cruel,

Laid Plans For
Strikes Many
Months Ahead

CHICAGO, May 17.-From early
in January until late in the summer
of 1917 Albert Prashner, an organ
izer for the Industrial Workers of
the World at a salary of SIS a week,
laid plans for strikes in various in
dustries from Rome. n. Y, to De-
troit, Mich, according TO letters
read by the prosecution Thursday
in the trial of 112 members OF the
organization for violation of the es-
pionage act.
Most Of the correspondence
which the government charges
formed a part of a nationwide con-
spiracy to hamper Americas war
plans, was between Prashner and
William d. Haywood, general sec
rotary treasurer.
Prashner. working as an organ
izer under the personal supervision
of Haywood. kept his chief advised
of progress being made in the an
thracite coal regions OF Pennsyl-
vania In New York state he wrote
that the situation was so well or
gained at some points, including
Rome that paid workers would not
be needed and later wrote from
Michigan that strikes in automobile
and other factories in Detroit and
Grand Rapids could easily be agi-
tated.
Big supplies of strike and anti
war stickers, printed in three Ian
guages were ordered for distribu-
ton in industrial districts.
Peter DAILY, an organizer arrested
at Minneapolis. who was found in a
state of coma under one OF the de-
PENDANT benches today, was exam
ined by government physicians and
pronounced physically able to stand
trial

supplied millions of meals and
drinks 20 soldiers.
"A factory has been established
for the manufacture of artificial
limbs and five splint factories are
operating under Red Cross supervi-
sion"

convince Mr. Dawson that America
is today a rainbow toward which

Scotland TO the south OF Italy, looks
as the sign Of comfort, hope and
victory"

 A Japanese delegation including representatives of the war, navy and foreign ministries and various experts soon will embark at a Japanese port on warship bound for the peace con- ference by way of the United States
 No announcement has yet been made as to whether the chief of the plenipo- tentiafies will be sent from Japan. The opposition party is urging the nomina- tion of Viseeunt Takaaki Kato former foreign minister, as head of the dele gation. If the chief plenipotentiary is not chosen from among the statesmen now in Japan, it is most likely that Sutemi Chinda, the Japanese ambassador to Great Britain, or Keishiro Matsui the ambassador to France, will represent Japan at the council.
 Japanese subordinates to attend the peace conference about to leave Japan include Vice Admiral Isamu Takehita. who was naval delegate to the Rus so-Japanese peace conference at Portsmouth in 1905, and General 1 Takeji Nara, chief of staff of the l Japanese garrison in Tsingtao, on the ] Shantung peninsula, in China.
