Senate Passes Lease Bill
Without Record Vote
La Toilette Amendment Giving
President Price-Fixing Power
on Coal and Oil Refused

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Without q
record vote the Senate tonight, after a
twelve-hour ession, passed the bill to
make possible the leasing of public
lands having deposits of oil, coal, gas
phosphate and sodium
In passing the measure the Senate
approved amendments offered by Sena-
tor Harris, Democrat, Georgia, provid-
ing that under the Clayton antitrust
act oil companies may not charge diff
ferent prices in various parts Of the
country.
Early in the night the Senate sus-
pended business for an hour while
pages were sent in all directions in an
effort to obtain quorum so that con-
sideration of the bill could be con-
tinued. The necessary number of Sena-
tors finally appeared. Senator La Fol
lette, who had spoken more than twenty
hours on the bill, appeared on the floor
wearing long rain coat, explaining
that he did this because the Senate
chamber was chilly.
AT the day session an amendment
which would have authorized the Presi-
dent to fix and control the prices of
coal, oil and other products derived
from government lands leased under
the measure was rejected by a vote of
48 to 10. 1t was offered by Senate,
La Toilette and met strong opposition
from Western Senator'S.

Enright Says 1t Is
Treason to Law
Ii Police Strike
Addresses 1000 Men of
Department at Camp:
Would Call Out u. S. and
State Troops, He Warns

Wet grounds, drizaling rain and an
army of mosquitoes We're not enough
to prevent whole hearted enjoyment Of
the hEst Of the police campfire days by
1000 New York policemen at Sleeps
head Bay yesterday and last night A
like numocr will go to the camp each
day for ten days.
There are ten companies. Each tent
shelters seven men. Inspector Alfred
Thor is in charge of the camp. Special
Deputy Commissioner john NJ. Shaw
and Captain William Davis are super
vising the arrangements.
a great camp fire is built each night
around which the men sit tell stories
and listen to the police gce club and
band. Eleven o'clock is retiring hour
They arise at 8 a. M. lunch at /, hear
speakers on police topics from . till g.
swim and otherwise amusc themselves
till s, when they drill and parade and
then go to dinner.
Commissioner Enright spoke to the
men before the camp fire last night, ad~
vlsing them not to join any police
union.
There has been much talk concern
ing a proposed strike,' said the Com
missioner. "Naturally some of this talk
has reached my ears. Now, no reason
able man would consider this matter
for one moment. 1t has failed in other
cities and has only brought about bad
conditions.
"The government cannot exist with
out law and order and you are a staple
part of the government. On your
shoulders rests the carrying out of the
law and order. The Police Department
typities the law of the country The
policeman represents the force Of right
and direct law. When the policeman
turns traitor to these things, he, too,
sets himself outside the pale of the
law; he is virtually on outlaw.
Paced with this condition it would
be necessary for those still upholding
the law and order to call out the Ma
tional Guard and then if this was in
sufficient to call out the Federal troops
to do the things that you as policemen
are sworn to do"

Authors of Plan
For Truce by Labor
Ousted by Holland
Pierce and Epstein Are Dis
missed From Connection
With State Federation of
Labor by lis President

james T. Holland, president of the
State Federation of Labor, spent yes
terday trying to find John +. Pierce
and S. Epstein, who on Monday made
public what purported to be report
to the federation recommending a six
months truce on strikes. Failing to
find either. Holland last night made
public letter dismissng them from
all official connection with the fedora
ton.
II have been trying to locate you
for the last two days. and learned
only this evening of Mr.. Epstein's ad-
dress" he wrote
u am surprised that you have not
up to this time sent me or the execu-
tive board Of the State Federation Of
Labor a copy of the report published
on Tuesday. am, therefore, compelled
TO remove you from any further con-
sidcration so far as the New York Fed
Grafton of Labor is concerned"
Mr. Holland said neither Pierce nor
Epstein had been delegated to make
any investigation or recommendations
relative to strikes. working conditions
or wages, and that in attempting to
map out strkeless policy they ex-
ceeded instructions.
"The minutes will show said he,
chat they were told to investigate
living costs. When they went beyond
that they were exceeding their power"
Pierce and Epstein have been promi-
nent as the active men in an organiza-
tion known as the American Benevo-
lent Association, which last winter re-
ccived much publicity because of its
published programme Of Americanzing
the foreign element in the needle
trades. This organization has its nomi-
nal headquarters in Tonawanda Hail, a
meeting place over q saloon at Twenty
eighth Street and Third Avenue. 1t
meets there once a month.
Pierce and Epstein, the manager of
the saloon said yesterday, usually
called in there each day.
The American Benevolent Associa-
tion came III for much adverse criticism
in meetings Of the Central Federated
Union last winter, representatives Of
the international Garment Workers.
Union, a subsidiary of the American
Federation OF Labor. charging that it
was strike breaking agency. Moth
ing came of the charges. Hugh Frayne,
general organizer of the American
Federation of Labor, speaking on the
Pierce Epstein proposal of no strikes
for six months, said the report on its
face showed the thing to be foolish.
NO man can stop strikes, neither
can any organization" said he, so
long as the causes for strikes remain
You may succeed in reducing strikes to
minimum, but you will have to stop
there No one familiar with the situa-
ton thought for moment that the So
called report printed on Monday bound
or spoke for the American Federation
of Labor or any part of it.
likewise that section Of the Cum
Minis bill which proposes to prevent
strikes is unworkable. SO long as men
have cause to strike there will be
strikes. Depriving a union Of the right
to strike is like telling the press you
must not print news. The one would
make the press useless, the other would
make the union powerless."
