there is no such provision. 1t will
probably be necessary, the conferees
believe, to again take this part of
the bill before both houses Of Con-
gresS to receive instruction. This
would indicate that it is pretty well
understood that the House conferees
are going to make a stand against
an &nti-strike clause.
The House expressed it's attitude
regarding the labor provisions when
the .Esch bill was up for considera-
ton, and several amendments were
made on the floor on labor provisions.
See Passage by March.
The conferees feel today that the
railroad bill will pass before March L.
They say that when so much time has
been devoted to it in the sincere effort
of important committees of both
houses this great piece of legislation
cannot be roughly thrown aside. and
there ought not to be a bitter fight
when it reaches the final stage. which
is conference.
The conferees today said that they
were not surprised when President
Wilson announced March i as the
date for restoring the railroads to
private ownership. AS both houses
had passed bills and as assurances
had been given that an agreement
could be reached. it would not have
been fair to business and the public
to throw the railroads back until a
reasonable time had been given to
get proper legislation enacted

German soldiers took very little
wine from the cellars when they swept

Probably their confidence that their
advance meant permanent, occupation
of Champagne saved the cellars from
pillage at that time and when the re-
action came they were forced to re-
treat so rapidly they had little OPP
portunity to invade the alnderareHofi

Frequently irresponsible soldiers
would bore holes in huge casks of
unbottled wine, and. after filling q
bucket would leave and permit the

bottles were lost in this way.

their losses cheerfully, believing the
allied soldiers were entitled to the
