(By Albert W. FoX.)

The first actual vote i'll the bat
tie between the supporters and oppon
cnts OF the league OF nations cove
nant was precipitatcd in the Senate
yesterday. 1t resulted in Il victory
for the league opponents by 43 to 40.
Unexpected and dramatic the test
OF strength us to which side would
control the situation came after Sen
ator Lodges request that considerat
ion be postponed of the amendments
proposed by Senator Fall, which slip
ulate that America shall hold on
memberships on any OF the commits
sions or committees growing out of
the treaty.
This move was strategicaly i'm
portant because the covenant oppon-
cntS do not want to press this mat
ter now, and may want to give the
Johnson amendment right Of way.
Senator Hitchcock, the administra-
ton leader therefore at once sought
chance to force this issue. Senator
Lodge moved Il postponcment until
one week from yesterday, Senator
Hitchcock challenged by demanding
the yeas and nays, and the first roll
call of the league Of nations battle
was on.

VARIOUS TRADES INVOLVED.

Carpenters, timers, Bricklayers,
and men Of every trade which COM
pose the building guild are affiliated
with the Building Trades Council.
The exact number of men affiliated
with the union organization will not
be stated Ivy the organization although
ii is reported that the majority of
construction workers belong.
Contractors are reticent as to tho
final action to be taken. Some it is
understood, state that the difficulty
will be settled without any appreciate
delay in building operation. 1t has
been reported that some contractors
have refused to accept new work pen
ding settlement Of the difficulty in
dicating that they intend to give
strong opposition to unionization of
their employees. Although there has
been big demand for building per.
mits this month, ii has been learned
that many moro would have been re
qucstcd had not the possibility Of a
break between employers and the I'M
ion men been imminent.

MILLMEN MAY AFFILIATE.

Under the existing plan it is under
stood that the union carpenters will
refuse to work upon job where non
union carpenters are employed or
where any Of the work is done by non
union men. Thus far, the newly or
ganiZcd Millmen's Union, composing
employees of the various manufactur
ing plants has not affiliated with the
Building Trades Council. Should they
do so, it is reported that the union
men employed by contractors will re
fuse to work with materials which
come from nonunion shops.
Union officials refuse to state
whether these plans have been def
nitcly decided upon, but various mem
bcrs arc indicating that they expect
strike to materialiZe next Wednes-
day morning unless the contractors
como to terms. In the event that the
walkout takes place practically all
building operations in Richmond will
come to halt.

Police Look For. Man
Charged With Murder

That Robert Hicks, wanted by
railroad officials on the charge of
killing one man and seriously in
juring another at ely. York county,
yesterday, is not a native Harris
burger, is the belief of city authori-
ties to-day He is said to have told
fellow workmen on the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad that he had lived at
563 South Tenth street, this city, be-
fore going to ely, but when taken
into the service of the railroad, he
is reported to have told that his
home was ALAG Spring Grove ave-
nue., Cincinnati.
Gabriel Ferrachia. an Italian. re-
Gently mustered out of the Army,
is the dead man, and James Christ
low, an Englishman, was the man
who was injured to such an extent
that he will die. These two men, to-
gether with Hicks, all employed as
track workers, lived in a railroad
shanty near ely.
The deeds were committed with a
large car bolt. Just when the trag-
edy took place has not been def
nitely fixed. The dead man and his
injured companion were not found
until 1850 yesterday morning.
When the men did not appear for
work in the morning, Jacob Laurer,
foreman OF the track gang, went TO
the shanty shortly before II o'clock
yesterday morning and found it
locked. When the doors were open
ed the two men were found on the
floor. 1t is believed they were at
tackled while sleeping.
1t is thought that the motive of
the deeds was robbery. Trunks and
boxes and other containers belong
ing to the two men we're broken
open. Ferrachia's pockets were
turned wrong side out, but a ten
dollar bill was left in Ferrachia' s
pocket.
Earlier in the week Ferrachia had
a considerable amount of money, but
on Monday night mailed it to rela-
tives, and it is believed that the
person who committed the deed
knew he had money, but was not
aware that he sent it away.

Air Stations Notified

When the C-5 took the air a south
wind was blowing at Is miles an
hour. Although no official announce
ment was made of the balloons desti-
nation it was stated that radio mes
sages had been sent to the tenn
porary base at ST. Johns and to the
Chatham, Mass, Bar Harbor and
Portland, Me-, naval air stations to
be on the lookout for her. A general
wireless message, intended to reach
ships at sea, also announced the
start of the flight.
The 'blimp" was taken out of her
hangar at Z o'clock after tuning
up" crew had worked throughout
the night, following her successful
flight yesterday to New London,
Conn.
Services of 800 sailors were re-
quired to haul the dirigible, buoyed
up by 10000 cubic feet of gas, out
of it's hangar and walk" it to the
beach.
May Fly During Night
Officers here declared that If the
southerly wind, increasing the dir
igible's speed to upwards of 65 miles
an hour continued throughout the
trip the "bIimp" might reach st.
Johns at or o'clock tomorrow
morning. Night flying. especially IL
no clouds obscure the full moon
would be an ordinary experience for
the balloonists, who have made
numerous tests at all hours, from
their home station at Cape May, N. J.
The C-5 driven by two 120-horse-
power motors. each attached to a
propeller. left the station carrying
fuel for 1.500-mile cruise.
