 tails Not Considered
By Associated Prss.

Washington, October 14.- Inclusion in the permanent rail- road legislation of a provision to penalize strikes of railroad employees was decided upon late today by the Senate inter state comnierce committee by a vote of IA to 1.
 The committee did not enter into the details of the anti-strike legisla- tion at it's meeting today, the vote being merely on the question of adopt ing the principle of penalizing rail- road employees for striking. Senator Stanley, democrat. of Kentucky, cast the only opposing vote. declaring he did not believe anti-strike provisions could be enforced.
 ANTI-STRIkE CLAUSE CERTAIN
 The committee vote was regarded as making certain inclusion in the fi- nal railroad bill of an anti-strike clause somewhat similar to che clause of the Cummins bill proposing fines and im- prisonment for concerted action of employees interfering with interstate commerce. The phraseoSogy.s of the anti-strike clause is expected to be agreed on late this week.
 Other steps toward reporting out the railroad bill probably this week. vera taken today by the committee in de- terminng distribution of excess rail- road earnings In accordance with a recent vote in favor of provision di- recting the interstate commerce com mission to fix rates sufficient to in- sure railroads return of 5h per cent upon the value of their property as de- termined by the commission, plus one- half of one per cent for maintenance,

No Vote on Arbitration Plan; Reds Endanger GoUernment
Industrial Conference Re jects Motion to Postpone Consideration of Arbitra- ton Resolution and Steel Strike Issue Comes Up Today
By Associated Press


 Washington, October 14.- After a heated all-day session devoted almost entirely to dis cussion of labor's proposal to arbitrate the steel strike, dur ing which bWo attempts at post ponement and a substitute reso- lution by Thomas l.. Chad bourne of the public group met with defeat, the national indus trial conference adjourned to- night without having taken other definite action than the appointment of three subcom- mittees.
 Another attempt to obtain action in the steel controversy, however, will be made by members of the public group, headed by Bernard NJ. Baruch, through new compromise proposal, when the con ference resumes it's sessios tomorrow.
 The labor resolution was laid before the conference today without recomnle IT. dation by the central committee but with an amendment proposed in committee by samuel Gompers, president of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, providing that the arbitration committee be chosen by the conference groups from members or non-members'' of the conference. In fe- porting the resolution, Chairman Chad bourne announced that while the resolu- tion was favored by a majority of the members of the committee it had received the negative vote of two groups and therefore could not be favorably reported
 SUBSTITUTE FAILS
 A substitute resolution offered by Mir Chadbourne failed to receive the ap- proyal of any of the three conference groups although it was framed so as to avoid mention of the steel strike The substitute proposed acceptance of MT. Gompers' committee of six to adjust all serious labor disputes," it's decision to be final after an attempt to reconcile differences had been made by a joiRs cofa- Inittee of employers and employees Ire labor representatives would be cnosen both by those "out on strike and those remaining in the employ of the several companies.
 The climax of the days tense sessions, one of which was recessed in the midst of confusion, came late in the day when Samuel Gompers, leader of the labor dele- gation, made an unprecedented plea TOT intervention in the steel strike and re- viewed the negotiations leading up to the calling of the sti%ie on September 22

FOUNDER AND REED
 CLASH IN SENATE, BUT FORMER FAILS ID RESC|ND WORDS
Many Senators Prefer to Consider Japan as Enemy While Sympathizing With Germany, Says North
 Dakota Republican
B, Associated Pres,

Washington, October 14.-
 Bitter feeling engendered by
 the peace treaty's Shantung
 provision got close to the boil
 ing point again today in the
 Senate.
 Repeatedly during a five-hour debate
 on the subject, the gavel sounded to
 bring order out of confusing cross
 fire of oratorical projectiles, and once
 it was ruled that language used had
 violated the Senate's rules by imputing
 to senators conduct unworthy and un-
 becoming.
 The declaration to which formal ob- jection was taken was made by Sena-
 tor McCumber. republican, North Dako-
 ta in the course of a heated exchange
 with Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri
 and had to do with charges that Japan
 was acting in bad faith in the promise
 of her statesmen to return Shantung
 province to China.
 Japan was our associate in the war,
 said the North Dakota senator, but know that now that the war practi- cally has ended. many senators prefer
 to considers her as our enemy. Germany seems to be more an object of solici-
 tude than our friends who helped us defeat Germany" If the senator means that" shouted Senator Reed T want him to name the senators to whom he refers.' APPEALS TO CHAIR Senator McCumber retorted that he would let recent utterances in the Sen> ate chamber speak for -themselves, and when he declined to yield to further questioning by Senator Reed, the latter . lad to e ch a ir daCl4 ring fo1ldlN while Senator Mccumber continued his speech. that the language used had been unpa arliamentary.
 When he had quieted the disputants, Senator Ball. republican, Delaware, temporarily presiding. thumbed through ta4Senate rule book while half dozen other members tried all at once to get in a word of advice. Senator Reed then withdrew his objection. whereupon Sen ator McCumber declared he had no in- tention of taking back what he had said, and insisted that the clerk read the passage of his speech which had been questioned. That brought a test. Senator Ball ruled the language out of order, and Senator McCumber re- sumed with the remark that he hadn't in the least changed his mind about the truth of what he had said
 Senator McCumber. republican member of the foreign relations com mittee, was speaking in reply to Chair man Lodge of the committee, who had just concluded a prepared address, sup porting the Shantung amendment and declaring Japan was building in China an empire menacing the United States. JAPAN'S PLEDGES BROKEN Japan relen0essly had broken her pledges and would continue to do so in furtherance of her scheme for China's exploitation, Mir. Lodge asserted. In replying, Senator McCumber arr eued that the proposed amendment would be of no avail because Shantung already was in Japan's possession, and altering the treaty would not change 1 that possession.
