WON'T IMPERIL
G. 0. P. IN SENATE

Senate Progressives have definitely
Republican control OF the Senate by
their fight on Senators Penrose and
Warren as chairmen OF the Finance
and Appropriation Committees.
Though some of them declared to-
day they will never vote for either
Penrose or Warren. they will not sup
port the Democratic candidates for
these or other positions. they stated.
But this does not mean. Progress
sives asserted. that they have sur
rendered to the "old guard" They
still have il in their power, they
pointed out, to deadlock the Organiza-
ton OF the Senate until "old guard"
leaders yield to them.
Points To BE Decided.
At a final conference today. Pro-
gressives said they expect to deter
mine:
1. Who their candidates will be for
the two chairmanships and for Presi-
dent pro tenn OF the Senate.
,. How they will conduct their
fight before the Republican caucus
and on the floor OF the Senate.
3. Whether they will accept any
committee chairmanships themselves
May FOreRO Chairmanships.
The third point came up for dis
cussion when "old guard" ENJOYS
limited TO some progressfves that
every man has his price" Progress
ives charged today. To show that
they are not seeking personal bene-
fts, the Progressives may decide to
forego the chairmanships which, under
the seniority rule, are due them.
AS they are fighting the seniority
rule. they should not lay themselves
open TO the charge that they favor II
when il works to their own advantage,
some PrOgreSsives say.

How Yankee ingenuity armed the

American officers were handicapped
in getting their tank program under

United States actually entered the

chine gun manufacture, which at the
end Of the fighting exceeded that OF

During the time America was in the
war, il Outstripped England in the
total number OF rifles and machine

Every American soldier who sailed

zion during the nineteen months Of

ATTORNEY GENERAL
OPPOSES PETITION

Decision was reserved by Judges Con-

sions, this morning, in the argument on
the petition Of Robert G. Harman for
the return Of goods taken by the de-
tective force in a raid on the alleged
gambling house of Thomas Nelson
and James Saines on the night Of De-
cember IS. Attorney General Reinhardt
opposed the petition for the State.
Mr.. llarman contended that the police
have no authority whatever TO make
such a raid as was made on the Ship
ley street house without o warrant. The
detectives, he said, broke into the place
and took, among other things, eleven
packs Of playing cards and S25 in
money, and have refused 10 return
them. Such an act Is contrary to the
State constitution, Mr.. Hartman held
Mr.. Reinhardt declared that the facts
as set out by Mr.. Harman are wrong.
The detectives gained admission to the
building, the attorney general said,
without breaking OF forcing their way
on the second floor they saw through a.
crack ln the door OF a room men play
ing cards and money on the table, he
said. and then broke In the room door.
Mr.. Reinhardt argued that the court has
no control over the seized property, but
that 20 obtain II, a suit Of replevln or
similar action would be necessary. The
officers have authority to go into

WOMEN TO LOSE OUT
AS TRACK LAB0RERS

Women have not been a success as
track laborers on the Pennsylvania
Railroad and are now being laid off as
rapidly as men apply for Jobs. Because
Of the scarcity Of male laborers dur
ing the war the railroads were com
PEELED to employ women for many
tasks, including the heavy work Of lay
ing and repairing track. It has been
found, however, that women are not
strong enough TO place rails. WELD
sledge hammers and drive spikes, and
their places are now going back to the
men.
At cleanup work the women did suc-
ceed. They have made better car clean
ers and station and crossing cleaners
than the men, and 1t is likely that they
will be retained in these jobs as long
as there are women seeking such en-
ployment.
