With regard to the effect on the con-

view was said to be that action by
the Ohio electorate would not change

below thirty-six, the department will
not concern itself with the changes

RAILROAD UNIONS WIN
DUAL VICTORY IN HOUSE
Compulsory Arbitration and
Anti-Strike Clause Defeated.

Washington.-COm arbitra-
tion of railroad labor disputes was re-
jected by the house.
1t voted, 151 TO T5, to substitute In
the pending railroad bill the plan of
voluntary conciliation offered by Rep
resentative Sweet, Republican, Iowa.
This has been endorsed by railroad
workers.
In brief, the plan divides the rail-
road workers into three classes, and
for each 1t establishes an adjustment
board and appeal commission. No
penalty against strike or lockout is
Imposed, and membership on all six
OF the boards would be restricted to
the workers and their employers and
divided equally between them.
Both the roads and the employees
would be directed by the plan, as frit-
ten into the bill, Ito exert every rea-
sonable effort and adopt every avail
able means to avoid an interruption"
of traffic, and TO this end the three
boards of adjustment would be Gre
ated, these being substantially the
same as those existing under the rail-
road administration.
Explaining his proposal, Represen-
tative Sweet said it would write into
law the machinery employed before
federal control of the roads. An add
ed commission, representative of both
employers and employees would cOnsid-
er appeals. No penalties against
strikes or lOckOuts are provided.
Let the practical men from this
industry settle their own disputes"
asserted Representative Nolan, Re
publican, California, a labor union
member. "For twenty-three years he
fore federal control the men and their
employers successfully adjusted their
troubles"
Labor sections Of the interstate
commerce committee bill, providing for
voluntary arbitration, with strikes
and lockours penalized, damages to be
assessed by courts, were under consid-

Webster. Republican, Washington, to
