HOUSE MEMBERS. IN STRUGGLE ON
 RADICAL BILL
Spirited Discussion For And Against Anti-Syn- dicalism Neasure-0ther Business Is Taken Up

The house spent the greater part of tho afternoon yesterday in @ spirited struasle over the anti-syndicalism bill of Mir Galbraith. It had already been the subject of more or less virulent discussion in the meetings which were held in the abortiye effort to line up thc returning soldiers and sailors with inc radical element of labor and it had been roundly denounced. but it was not expected that SO much opposi- ton would develop Co it in body in which the conservative element had a decisive majority.
 Some days ago there was Q majority report against 1t by the judiciary com mittcc. A majority report proposed an amendment striking out the words, Cor intimidation" after the word. terror ism." one of tho acts which the bill defined as % crime. This amendment was a concession to those who feared that a loose construction of the words might make it a prohibition of strikes or picketing.
 It soon developed after the bill came mp yesterday in the committee of the whole that several members who had been counted as conservatives were against the bill: at any rate, that they were apprehensive of the effect of It upon labor. Communications were read from unions at Miami Globe, Douglas Flagstaff Clifton. Chloride and Win kleman. all protesting more or less vigorously against the passage of the bill. which, it was declared, would ir some way. not explained, bind organ ized labor hand and foot.
 Speeches in favor of the bill were made by Messrs. Galbraith. Barrows and Kimbau. The Inst named saic that he was a union man of 30 years standing and his record as a friend or organized labor was clear If hC believed that the bill would be inimica t1 unionism he would oppose it, but h' could not believe that the crimes oi sabotage, which it was designed tC suppress. could be advocated or en- Couraged by organized labor.
 Both Mir. Barrows and Mir. Galbraitl made point of the fact that her, had come a time when members mus so on record either for or agains government by force and threats.
 The principal speech against the bil was made by MT. Vyne. who denounced the crimes the bill was intended tt punish He believed. though. that thel were UIftilN IlONlQ'N dAdlllNls tillt moreover. he feared that the bin. | enacted, might be so construed as t' prohibit what are now lawful method of labor Both hc and Dr. Lacy feare, the effect of this legislation. as further irritant of organized labor.
 Originally the bill carried the emer Ecncy clause. but it became apparen that it could not possibly secure tWo-thirds vote. go that clause Wa stricken off and the committee vote favorablye report. The bill apparent had only 17 votes on which it's friend could reliably count on the motion i the house Co send the bill Co the com nittee on enrolled and engrossed bin there were 70 ayes and l2 nays. It not expected. though. that the bill, passed at all twill receive more tha thc required iS votes.
