Attempts to Strike Out La Dor Provisions Fail on Two Test Votes, With Further Attempts in
 Sight Today
M A.,es,.s,< pr,s

Washington, December Is The Senate held its fifth night session on the railroad bill to. night with grave doubt in the minds of the leaders that the measure could be passed ir time to permit beginning of the holiday recess Saturday.
 The labor clauses, including the anti ure were under discussion during the day, cuIminating later in the re- jectiop by vote of 25 to 46 of tho proposal of Senator Stanley. demo- crat, Kentucky, to eliminate the whole section. Efforts toward 2 compromise ensued.
 i Five republicans, Borah, Gronna, La Toilette ,McNary and Norris, joined with 20 democrats in favor of eliminating the labor provisions bodily The democrats were Ashurst, Chamberlain, Fletcher Gerry, Harris, Harrison, Henderson Jones CNew Mexico). Kendrick, King, Kirby, Mcclellan, Nugent, Overman Sheppard, Smith South Carolinal, Stan ley, Trammell and Walsh (Massachu- lsetts).
 During the debate an agreement was reached by Senate and House majority leaders not to permit holiday recess until the measure is through the Senate and sent to conference. At their con ference, however, Senator Lodge and Representative Mondeli agreed to sus- pend House business Saturday to permit members of the lower body to go home for the holidays, even if the Senate is held by delay on the railroad bilf. Be- ginning Monday, House sessions will be perfunctory under a requirements agree lfnent'' to transact no business until January 5, but to adjourn from day to day until the Senate recesses-
 The anti-strike provisions were in turn attacked and defended today, while con ferences were held looking to a conn promise by modifying the clause inpos- ing criminal penalties for strikes and lockouts.
 After defeat of the Stanley motion to strike out the entire labor section, Sen ator Mccormick, republican, Illinois, or fered a substitute plan, similar to the Canadian system, to prohibit strikes for 60 days after decisions of the adjustment al;sarss. and requiring decisions from the board within 90 days.

BOERSIANER'S
COM MENT ON
BUSINESS
by BOERSIANER.

No economic blockade has faceted
everybody so nearly as the coal en-
barge. Ordinarily only a few people
come into intimate relations with a
strike whose general effect is indirect
t-often remotely 50. But this coal
interruption struck home every
where. Naturally the relief from it
should be unusually manifested, in
all markets, not excluding the retail
market.
Yuletide buying should release an
other reef in fits high and fast pace.
Articles of luxury and articles which
command stiff prices should be in
even greater demand-which is put
ting it strongly, since the imminence
of bare shelves are not those bearing
useful things.
This description has to do not with
sudden millionaires; it relates to the
mass of people who have profited by
the war wage-wise; masses who are
fndulging themselves for the first
time in expensive objects; or, speaking
correctly. objects marked expensively.
Asa rule. the customarily highly
proyident arc on the contrary prac-
ticing frugality-for the fret time.
One encounters millionaires and
near-miIlionaires who take pride in
exhibiting the long past date of their
garments. One such has a fresh
definition for a cheerful person. "If,
after reading the morning newspapers
these days, you don't commit suicide
by noon you are an optimist"
