 Real PrOfteers

Explains LabOr's
 Objective to the
 Proposed Army Bill

Washington, May 22-American federation of labor protests against the military liability clause of the senate army reorganization bill on the ground that it might permit con scription of labor in peace times were based on a "misconception of the meaning and purpose of the Ian guage" of the bill, Chairman Wads- worth informed President Gompers in answering the latters' letter.
 "Needless to say," MT. Wadsworth said, nothing of the sort is in- tended. The term 'emrgency' was employed by the senate committee as descriptive of a. state of war of the first magnitude, constituting a national emergency"
 During conference with house managers on the bill, the senator said, the senate representatives had suggested and would continue to urge substitution of the words state of war constituting national emergen- cy' for the language objected to.

Worst of Freight Congestion Now is
 Said to be Over

Washington, May 22.-The edge apparently has been broken off the nationwide freight jam through joint efforts of the railroads, the interstate commerce commission and shippers.
 Advices tonight showed slight and continued decline in the num- Der of loaded cars awaiting move ment, while reports to the American Railroad association indicated a gen. eral awakening to the need of thoro cooperation. This, with drastic steps taken by the government in or dering disregard of routing and the swift exchange of equipment, was counted on as a starter"
 Despite this more hopeful view however, officers of the association and railroad men said the great bulk of freight tied up had suffered on a few dents and that the roads were so badly showed under that it would take weeks, perhaps months, to get back to normal. Expected action by the interstate commerce commission with respect to suggestions of the roads for awarding of a continued offering of all classes of freight was not forthcoming.

 Mrs. Doherty stood in the way when Doherty started to fight Landbert, ana pleaded that he beat her rather than her friend. The battle attracted a large crowd.
 Landbert and Mrs. Doherty tried to get an automobile to take them out of the crowd and to New Britain. One man elected them bodily from his car it is said, when they climbed into it, and a garage refused to send out a car.
 When Constable Marine appeared on the scene and wanted to arrest the New Britain parties, Doherty asked the officer to arrest him rather than his wife. Merino then allowed Mrs. Doherty a short space of time to leave town, to which ultimatum she quickly responded. Landbert did not go back to New Britain with her, but remained in the center while Doherty took his wife home.
