WANT NO STRIKES
Senate Rejects Bill To Approve
of War Time Strikes.
But Neither Would 1t Try To
Prohibit Them.

Washington, April 1.-THE senate
today by a vote of "a to rs refused to
approve labor's right to strike in war
time. BY that vote it rejected con-
ference report on bill penalizing de-
struction of war material and inter-
ference with production
The report was rejected because
confereeS wrote in a new clause Spe-
officially providing that none of the
penalties in the act should apply to
workers who struck in an effort to get
higher pay or better working condi-
tionS.
The vote, taken Immediately today
upon reconvening of the senate and
following yesterdays bitter denuncia-
ton of labor's attitude in the war in
the numerous strikes on war jobs, will
cause the house to reconsider the bill.
The senate's opposition was directed
solely to the clause providing that the
bill should not restrict workmen from
striking. Many senators who object
ed to the provision regarded today's
vote as a rebuke to workmen who
have struck at ship yards and factor
les engaged on war work. Senator
Overman, of North Carolina, who had
charge of the measure yesterday, de-
clared that should the senate defeat
the conference report because of the
labor clause, the entire legislation
would die
Gompers Denounces Proposal.
While the senate was rejecting the
much discussed provision, President
Gompers of the A. F. of L., speaking
before the national conference of
American lecturers here was denounc-
ing the proposal to prohibit strikes and
walkouts. LAS a patriotic American
citizen declared Gompers, Il serve
warning on congress not to permit the
deviltry and folly of such a law. 1t
will serve only to make strikers law
breakers as well. Nothing will do more
to create resentment than to make it
unlawful for men to stop work"
Gompers complained that American
newspapers are giving too unsparing
criticism of small strikes, apparently
forgetting that isolated instances are
of minor importance-when it is con-
sidered that millions of organized
iaboring men are giving their best eff
forts to the nation. Labor troubles,
he said, have been few. and in most
cases easily adjusted. Nobody, he de-
clared, has served more effectually in
cffsetting the influence of perniciCus
German propaganda than organized
labor.
NO one has done more han the
representatives of the American labor
| movement to prevent enemy prop
uganda from interrupting war indus
tries" said lie.
Conservation of labor was aSsailed
| by Frank Morrison, secretary Of the
| American Federation of Labor, who
! declared consumption in democratic
nation should be used only for mill
tary purposes.

BOY SOON TO
GET BRITISH COMMISSION
Central High Grad Learns to
Fly Battle Plane With Royal
Flying Corps

The following letter has been re-
ceived from William E. Lewis. Jr.,
who enlisted in the Royal Flying
Corps. December 10, 1917. He
is son of Mr.. and Mrs. W. E.
Lewis. Sr.. 70s Capital street, and a
member of Pine Street Presbyterian
Church. He has about completed his
course of training and expects to re-
ceive his commission as pilot shortly
He is Central High school graduate
and attended Lebanon Valley College
and the University of Pennsylvania.
His letter from Camp Borden, On
tario, Canada. follows:
The camp in which I am now
located is about sixty miles north of
Toronto. 1t is in the heart of a for
est with lots of hilly ground, with
no towns for miles. The camp it
self is beautiful and rather a large
one. 1t was used last summer in
addition to the Royal Air Force for
training 10000 infantry.
The flying air is much better
here than at Forth Worth, as there
it was rather bumpy and treacher-
Gus. | had a machine up yesterday
for three hours. and | never had the
least bit of worry. Whereas in Texas
one would fly along and hit an air
bump and shoot up or down for fifty
or sixty feet.
Really there is nothing to flying,
one cannot realize that when he is
up few thousand feet that there is
nothing under the machine but air,
with earth in the distance. II you
ever get a chance TO go up with a
reliable pilot. do not hesitate be-
cause YOU will never regret it. There
is not as much ensation in IL as in
some of the roller coasters in the
pleasure parks, unless stunning. and
then YOU do not know where you
are. | have taken dualing in stunt
ing. looping the loop, the Emerson
turn and spinning nose drive.
Il shall always remember my first
joyride, with my instructor, and
then my solo flight. The instruc-
tors take great pleasure in getting
our wind up. but then I figured he
valued his life as much as l did
mine. and let him carry on. My
solo flight was 800 altitude. it took
me one and one-half hours to ascend
and one-half hour to come down.
Il am doing higher training at
present. mb-dropping. taking pic
lures in the air and sending wire
less messages. II is very interesting
and helps break the monotony of
the air. as it does get quite lone
some by ones self for two or three
hours at time. OF course we find
all kinds of diversions diving at
trains, autos, horses or anything that
moves along the ground had
quite an interesting chase with a
hawk. but I couldn't beat a bird at
its own game.
Our instructors. who are offi-
GERS and who have seen active over
seas service. tell us the Hun is a
good fighter in the air. and it takes
a good head TO bring him down or
drive him off. They are not sending
us to France overconfidenced. as
they seem to give us the worse side.
