 tercSt.
 The driver of a small automobile truck had a narrow escape from serious injury yesterday afternoon at about 5 o'clock when the truck crashed into the gates at the rail- road crossing on West Main street The truck was coming from Bristol toward PlainVille and, according to the drivers story, an automobile crossed the tracks a few feet ahead of the truck. When the second ma chine drew up to the crossing it is said that the gate tender let the gates down, striking first the radi- ator cap on the machine and bend ing it out of shape. The driver could not stop in time to avoid the gates and the heavy wooden bar struck the driving wheel about two inches from his hand.
 The wooden bar of the gate was broken off about five feet from the butt. The windshield was smashed and the bars supporting it were bent into mass of tangled iron. The driver escaped injury from the fly ing glass; but the bar of the gate struck him in the face and he sus- tained several slight cuts.
 The gatetenders story is that the truck came down from Bristol, pro ceeding at a fair rate of speed. and crashed through the gates, as the gate stopping on the east tracks justa far enough over to escape being struck by the south-bound freight train which was approaching the crossing from the station when the gates were lowesed
 The driver of the truck, whose name could not be learned, called att, tention to the radiator cap on his machine as proof of his story. The cap was bent toward the front of the machine and he contends that if he crashed through te gates. as the gate tends says the cap would have been bent back instead Of forward The truck bore a Connecticut g. marker, number 7S-12S.

WILSON OFF
 FOR PARIS

NEW YORK, March, g. President Wilson sailed this forenoon aboard the United States transport George Wash ington. determined not to come back until "its over over there" as he sad in speech last right at the Metropol- ton theatre, defending the principles of the League of Nations.
 The departure today of President Wilson was marked by simplicity coz trasting to the noisy demonstration when he sailed the first time. Owing to the early hour, there was only 4 small crowd at the Pier and the Presi lent, hat in hand, waved his farewell as the band played the "Star Spanglcd Banner"
 As the transport steamed down tle harbor, escorted by destroyers, th" Presidential salute of 2l guns boom"d forth.

GOVERNMENT TIED UP
EXTRA SESSION IS MOST PROBABLE

any threatened paralysis can take place.
 AZ near as can be learned from a curSory examination of the present remarkable situation it would seem to be best explained by the opinion held that the re-actionary coteie or group of wilful Senators was directed solely in an effort to compel the President to remain in his own country.
 For the last few days sentiment seems to have been crystalizing in the issue as to whether or not our Nation should, in any manner, directly or in- directly, become embrciled in the hotch-pot of European politics.
 Our Nation has so long existed up on the platform of non-participation in European affairs that, as the war is ended, we should at once retire to our own fireside, and refuse the en- tanglements, however seductive and alluring, of Old World alliances.
 There will be some, perhaps who will inquire, as to the legality of Pres. ident Wilson calling an extra session. by wireless or even from Paris. Le- gally, the transport George Washing ton. is the property of the United States government, the temporary abiding place of the Chief Executive; the mansion used as the residence of the President in Paris, Is property of the United States government, recog- nized as the temporary home of the President. Therefore, the Prsident Can call. to all opinions, an extra session on the high seas or in Paris.

acts of l2 United States Senator's.
 But, these twelve United State Senators have done it and what will be the next move?
 Those who have been reading close ly the trend of congressional events, know full well that the Republican,: have been working to embarrass tho President and his administration, have been working for an extra session of Congress. The extra session now seems most certain, in fact seems absolute.
 President Wilson sailed today for Paris. Probably President Wilson will wireless the call for the extra session. Probably by this time all interests have decried the twelve Senators, ana urged the President in view of the re. construction period, and to immediate ly call the extra session. Presiden; Wilson is alive to the importance ot .his matter, for a government as pow ,rful as the United States, financially and in all other ways, must not b., paralized.
 When the extra call will come, IS not known at this writing, but it is logically expected to come shortly as the fiscal year ends on June 30th. and on that date all Departments of the United States will cease to operate, because of the lack of funds.
 Regarding the Alaska government railroad bill- this measure carried s35 OOO, 1000, various sums to be appro- ,riated by Congress, at each session, until the total amount had been ap- ,ropriated. That is the reason why the -emaining S4,O0O, ,O00 should have been acted upon by the past Congress. an'l why the appropriation was included in the Sundry Civil Bill. The measure was so worded that the entire appro- ,riation was not made available i'm nediately upon passage of the act, but was to be appropriated in certain amounts, until used.
 The Alaskan Engineering Commits sion now has, or should have, suffic- ent funds, from the previous appro- oriations, to operate as it now is. un- til the extra session of Congress is called and the Sundry Civil Bill pass ed.
 The idea expressed in Seward to- day, that the country has gone to smash because of the spite acts of twelve Senators, is most irrational These expressions are made by the thoughtless and not the hardy ones those who are easily rebuffed and not by the "come-backers"; those who are shallow in conceptions and not by those of possessed of combativeness those who are here today and gone to morrow.

Twelve United States Senators, ac- cording to yesterdays Associated Press dispatches, two especially, Sen ator Lawrence Y. Sherman, of Illinois. and Senator Robert NJ. LaFollette, of Wisconsin. the known pro-Germar, both Republicans, filibustered in the United States Senate Monday night and yesterday morning, and prevented the passage of every measure giving money for the operation of all the var ious departments of the United States government for the next two years. This Is the sum substance of the re- markable filibuSter, the most remark able since the word "filibuSter" was used in this sense.
 Words fail to express contempt for these Senators, who for spite work, un-AmericaniSm a desire to embarraSs the Democratic Administration and to imperil the financial conditions of the United States, talked against time preventing the passage of national measures. in other words, completely tying up the United States govern ment, as far aS operation is concerned. a government of which they are sup posed to have been part thereof.
 According to the dispatches receiv- ed by the Gateway from the Associat- ed Press, neither the deficiency bill nor the Suudry Civil Bill, and many others were passed, all killed by the filibuSterS.
 The Sundry Civil Bill contains the appropriations for all departments of the United States government, navy, war, Interior, Commerce, labor judic- ial, etc, s75O,OOO,oOO
 Not one cent has been appropriat- cd for these various departments.
 The Sundry Civil bill also includ'
 
 es the appropriation of S4,0O0,000 for the Alaskan Engineering Commission This appropriation like the remainder of the large appropriation asked hv the government, was killed by the fil- ibuster. In Seward, immediately this word was passed around, began the What are we to dc? ."
 For the present. an appropriation of s4,O0000O is uppermost in the minds of the people of this and other Alaska localities, through which the government railroad project is passing or is proposed. But the question Of S746,000,000 is also, for the time be ing, uppermost in the minds of llO,- 000,000 people in the states.
 Does it seem possible that twelve men, United States Senators, can block the wheels of the government for any length of time? The answer is a most emphatic "no".
 Every Department of the United States government is paralyzed, ever the financial condition of the country threatened, rpementarily, by the spite

PROGRAM OF LABORITF:S IS
 MADE PUBLIC
(By H. E. Bectol)

PARIS, Mar, S. Delegates of the five big nations which dominate the peace congress are thoroughly awake to the necessity for putting through board international labor program.
 The committee which has been as- signed to this phase of the work of the peace congress is confident that the peace treaty will contain these de- clarations:
 For eight-hour day.
 Free assemblage and free speech.
 That human labor is not an article If commerce.
 Seamen's right to leave vessels.
 Against child labor.
 They expect the congress will call for a great international convention with in few months with labor, em- ployers and the governments repre- sented which will work out solutions, whether covered by the peace congress or not, and write the international h. bor conventions.
 They propose the establishment of permanent labor bureau within the league of nations, with inspectors and courts to expose, and perhaps penalize through the league every violation ct the conventions.
 The plan presupposes the respoc- sibilitv of each nation for any viola tion by an employer or worker sub- feet to that nation.
 British laborites are emphasizing the permanent bureau idea and are busy on constitution.
 The Gompers delegation is stres. sing the necessity for declaration of labor principles in the treaty.
 The worldwide restlessness of la- Dor has reused the peace delegates to the urgency of the situation.
