BILL TOMORROW
Senate District Committee to
Consider Proposed Sal
airy Increase.

The bill to increase the pay Of the
policemen of tho District of Column
bia. passed by the House, will be laid
before the full Senate District COM
mittee either tomorrow or Tuesday,
Senator Calder OF New York said last
! night. Senator Calder is chairman of
the subcommittee to which the meas
ure was referred for consideration.
The subcommittee has made a num-
Der of amendments. increasing the
pay of mounted policemen who have
to keep their own horses. and max ing
the pay of captains the same as that
of inspectors. 1t Is likely also that
when the bill goes to the full COM
mittee 1t will carry increases for the
janitors and matrons at the police
| stations and the house of detention.
who were not covered in the House
bill.
When the committee meets to con-
slider the bill it will have before it
also 4 proposal to include in the oper-
alton of the bill the park policemen,
who at present come under the. War
Department. The suggestion has been
made. too. that these policemen be
placed under the control of the Dis
trict police department.
Another matter which the commit
tee will consider is an amendment
providing a regular civil service ex
animation of all applicants for posi-
tions on the police force, and for
a plan be adopted whereby assistant
superintendent and inspectors may
be taken from the captains on the
force as required. and may be return
ed to the rank of captain if desired
by the administration of the police
department..
70 attempt will be made, however.
subject to the proposed civil service
requirements.

SENATORS T0FIGHT
WILLIAMS REPORT
Democrats Will Contest Re-
lection of the Controllers
Nomination.

Democratic senators are preparing
to fight the report of the Senate bank
ing and currency committee urging
the rejection of the nomination Of
John Shelton Williams to succeed
himself as controller of the currency,
it was said last night. The report
was adopted by strict party vote in
the committee, nine republicans vot-
ing for the adverse report and seven
democrats voting against it.
While Chairman Mclean of the
committee expressed the hope that he
would be able to get the nomination
up for consideration within the next
week or two. the prospects of any
action on it at the present session
appear very dim.
The treaty of peace with Germany
is occupying the time of the Senate
almost to the exclusion of all other
business and will continue to do SO
for some time. AS soon as the treaty
has been disposed of it is planned to
take up the railroad bill, which. in all
probability. also will require several
weeks for consideration. There seems
little prospect Of getting to a vote

Mr.. Gompers' Statement.


Mr.. Gompers issued the following
statement at the conclusion of the
meeting:
"A conference was held in the
American Federation Of Labor build
ing this afternoon. in which repre-
sentatives Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, the railroad brother
hoods and the four farmers organiza-
tions participated. General discus
pending in Congress inimical to the
rights and interests of industrial and
agricultural workers.
Further discussion ensued regard
ing legislation which should be urged
at the hands of Congress in the in
terests of the above.
ut was decided that the call for the
conference determined upon by the
executive council of the American
Federation of Labor should be Jointly
issued by the executive council of the
American Federation of Labor and the
railroad brotherhoods.
1T was decided that the conference
should take place in Washington Sat
urday. December 13.
The representatives of the farmers
organizations. although in entire SYM
pathy with the discussion and pur-
poses, stated that they had no author
ity from their organization to Join in
their conventions, which would be
held within a month from now. would
be glad to receive invitations upon
which to act. and select delegates for
the December Is conference"
Brotherhood Officials Confer.
Officials of the four railroad broth
erhoods conferred today with Mr.
Gompers and other officers of the fed
Grafton. 1t has been proposed that
the cooperation of the brotherhoods
be enlisted in the general fight now
being waged for recognition of the
principle of collective bargaining and
representation by the chosen spokes-
men of labor.
Some close observers of the indus
triaI situation said today an alliance
brotherhoods appeared more than
probable. They pointed to the anti
strike legislation and the notice of
the railroad workers that they soon
wages as reasons why the brother
hoods would desire such an alliance
Issues Appeal to Farmers.
Charles S. Barrett. president of the
National Farmers Union, and one of
the farmers representatives in the
National Industrial Conference here,
iSSuSo al appear tOudy TO the 1arm-
ers to "be prepared to aid our be-
loved country in her present hour of
need"
"Menaced by intrenched privilege
on the one hand and perilous. red
propaganda on the other" said Mr.
Barrett. "the nation is facing the most
dangerous situation since the civil
war. Although. reveling in plenty,
though business was never better,
though employment was never more
general. the country is sitting on a
powder magazine, which threatens at
any moment 10 explode. bringing dew

train. e
THE failure of the industrial con-
ference to accomplish any concrete
thing makes necessary an offensive
and defensive alliance between all
constructive forces of the country
against the common enemy of ex.
tremism. 1t places the question where
it was before the conference assem-
bled, and leaves an adjustment to the
individual and collective common
sense. common honesty and common pa
triotism of the people.

unions by binding their workers with
individual contracts.
Mr.. Johnston announced that with
the passage of the anti-strike legisla-
ton he would order Immediately a
vote on a strike of the $4,000 mem
bers of his association and predicted
that the heads of the other 112 in
ternational unions in the American
Federation of Labor would take
similar action. Other federation off,
Gals agreed with this view.
While the legislation against strikes.
now pending. in Congress-. applies
solely to railroad workers. many of
whom are not affiliated with the
federation. 1t was said today that this
legislation was one of the principal
reasons why the heads Of the unions
in the federation were to be sum-
moned here for a conference in the
near future. =

amendment and was unable to be
present because of illness.
Senator Hitchcock then asked that
tomorrow be fixed for vote, but
Senator Johnson again objected. To
the request for a vote Tuesday, Sem
ator Knox. republican, Pennsylvania,
made objection, saying he desired to
speak and did not intend to have the
opportunity taken away. Similar OBJ
lection was made by Senator La Fol-
lette. republican, Wisconsin. when
Mr.. Hitchcock suggested Wednesday.
Again Scores Failure.
Revising his request. the admins
tration leader then asked that, begin
ming Tuesday morning, speeches be
limited to one hour, and that a vote
be taken at pm. Wednesday. To
that. also. Senator La Toilette OBJ
jected. saying he desired to speak two
hours and a half. Neither would he
accept Senator Hitchcock's offer of an
agreement that no senator, except Mr..
La Toilette. should speak more than
an hour.
Senator Hitchcock then abandoned
his effort.
The general feeling last night was
that while the Senate might talk itself
out on the subject and vote by tomor-
row night it was more likely that the
vote would come Tuesday or Wednes-
do

next regular session. which begins in
December. Even then a determined
effort on the part of Mr.. Williams
supporters may postpone the vote in
definitely.
In the meantime Mr. Williams is
expected to continue to hold office un-

Mr.. Thomas Discusses League.

Deploring criticism of Great Britain.
Senator Thomas. democrat. Colorado.
said his faith in the league was based
upon the dominance of British and
American interests in the league organ
ization. A permanent understanding be-
tween these two nations, he said, offered
the best hope for the civilization, and in
most cases the two. would be found vot-
ing together.
Should war come between the Unit
ed States and Japan, Senator Thomas
predicted, America and not Great
Britain can count on Canada, Aus
tralia and New Zealand, regardless of
what arrangement there might be be-
tween London and Tokio.'
Senator Thomas said that If the
United States accepted that labor sec
ton of the treaty it would be only a
uestion of time until it and the other
nations will disappear entirely under
the grip of international socialism"
