HE COMMENDS BILL
Senator Robinson Says Public Must Be
Protected From Rail Strikes.

Washington, Sept. "A law to pro-
hibit strikes or lockouts of railroad
employees and thus protect the public
from transportation tieups was advo-
Gated by Senator Robinson, Democrat.
of Arkansas. in an address today in
the senate.
THE time has come" he said, when
congress must protect the public
against loss of life and property and
widespread suffering which will inev-
itably result If the railroads should
be tied up by a general strike. The
right to strike has heretofore been
recognized in our laws. particularly in
certain provisions OF the Clayton act.
Those laws should be modified and
strikes of employees on railroads en-
gagged in interstate commerce should
be forbidden"
Senator Robinson's address was IN
analysis and commentator of the bill
by Senator Cummins, Republican of
Iowa. drafted by the senate interstate
commerce subcommittee. The Cum
minis bill. according to Robinson who
was a member of the drafting sub
committee. amply protects the rights
Of employees employers and the public.
while the right of the laborers to
quit employment for any reason is
recognized and preserved lin the
bilD". said Senator Robinson, com
binations or agreement to hinder. re-
strain or prevent the movement of
commodities or persons in interstate
commerce or agreements which have
that effect are likewise penalized.
The provision by law of a fair tri-
bunal to settle disputes between rail-
roads and their employees is, of course,
a prerequisite in any plan fairly CAL
culated to relieve the country from
the menace of strikes and Iockouts
that will restrain or prevent interstate
commerce. 1t is indispensable to the
comfort and life Of our people that
commerce be continued and no sys-
tenn which leaves commerce subject to
the will of individuals or organization
among them can be justified"

Wisconsin Senator Opposes Both U. S.
and Private Rail Ownership.

Washington, Sept. 2.-Government
operation of railroads and unrestricted
private operation are filled with dan
ger" Senator Lenroot, Wisconsin,
warned today in a statement explain
ing the bill he recently introduced.
I'VE cannot afford to fix upon a
policy which will result in the crea-
ton of a vast political machine as
would be the result of either the
Plumb plan or any other form of gov
eminent ownership" Lenroot said
Nor can we afford to hand over to
private management the transporta-
ton of the country in a manner which
would enable promoters and bankers
to enrich themselves. Operation of a
public utility employing two. million or
more people by the government is too
filled with danger to risk adopting
that as a settled policy. The same can
be said of government ownership and
private operation"
Lenroot is for strict regulation of
finances and operation of the railroads
by board composed of representa-
tives of all interests. including the
public.

MAC LEAN LIKED IT!
He Had lfarshalPs Band Play

Capt. w. p. MacLean, who was in
charge OF the pageant at the Labor
day celebration at Gage park Monday
went to the leader of Marshall's band
and requested that the band play
Beautiful Ohio" and keep on playing
it until he ordered the tune changed.
. The band played the piece over
eleven times and then the players
baked. Some one was sent to look for
Captain MacLean and he was finally
found at a cold drink stand getting
on the outside of a bottle of coca

about his order to the band leader
and said that it was all right not to
start the Beautiful Ohio" to flowing

SAN FRANCISCO, May Z (by Asso-
ciated Press) The large crowds at
tending the games of the Pacific coast
league to date indicate to officials Of
the organization that the public well
comes the return of play after
heavy falling off in patronage during
the war. Reports from the cities
where the opening games were held
show that new attendance records
were made at every point. In proper
ton to it's population the city of Sac

officials are jubilant at the showing
being made and are predicting one OF
the best seasons, from all points OF
view. that baseball has experienced
on the coast.
Coast baseball closed last year dur
ing July owing to lack of interest and
consequent lack of patronage. Many
followers of the games are question
ing whether or not the public is given
too much baseball in normal seasons.
Some are inclined to belive that a
shortening of the season would serve
to whet the appetite and give an in
creased attendance for briefer
period of play.
While the brand of game served to
the public thus far has been far from
being perfect, it has been of the var

has been plenty of batting and many
runs made which has furnished a
