SENATE PASSES
 RAILROAD BILL
MEASURE IS TO BE SENT TO PRESIDENT WILSON
 AT ONCE.

Washington. = By vote of AT to IT, the Senate adopted the conference report on the Cummins-Esch railroad bill, concurring in the action of the House. The measure will be sent to President Wilson.
 The action of the Senate was taken after surprisingly brief debate, in which senators of both parties were unanimous in assailing the efforts of organized labor to prevent passage of the bill. Senators opposed to the measure, realizing its passage was in evitable, confined their efforts to short explanation of their reasons for yot- ing mo" and made no attempt to pro long the fight.
 Senstors Sherman and Mccormick of Illinois were paired in favor of the bill. Senators Culberson. Henderson, Kendrick, Kirby and LaFollette were paired against it.
 Opposition to the measure eentered almost exclusively upon the so-called five-and-a-half per cent guaranteed re- turn. Many of the speeches were by senators, who formerly had opposed the bill, explaining why they felt i'm. pelIed to support the conference re. port. The general burden of their re. marks was that they had to choose between return Of the roads without any legislation. which smight produce paric, and acceptance of q bill which was a lesser evil,
 Senator Cumm1ns Of Iowa, chair. man of the Interstate Commerce Com. mittee, opened the discussion with a speech explaining the action of the conferees. lie insisted that the so- called guarantee clause had been the subject of the gressest misregresea- tation" by the critics af the measure.
 It has been termed guaranty ot income" said Senator Cummius. "This is not true in any serse of the phrase. Not 2 dollar is to be paid from the treasury on account of it's provisions and no obligation whatever on the part of the government is ere atcd. It is a direction to an adm.nis- trativo tribunal that so far as il may be practicable the commission shall make rates that will yield a net ope- rating income of five and half per cent upon the true value of the rail way property held for and used in the service of transportatioA considered as a whole"

GOMPERS OPPOSES
 LABOR PARTY PLAN
SAYS SUCCESS MUST BE WON THROUGH THE OLD OR
 EXEMPTIONS.

Washington. Samuel Gompers president of the American Federation of Labor, directed a whitening blast at the movement to organize an inde- pendent labor party whose candi- dates, he says, would be doomed to failure and whose appearance in the presidential and congressional cleo tion campaign would serve "to defeat our friends and to elect our enemies. '
 The federation president is intent ly pursuing his plan to defeat anti labor candidates for Congress in both parties, and political developments of the first magnitude are expected when Mir. Gompers goes before the Republi- can and Democratic conventions seek ing the endorsement of his labor plat form blanks.
 Mir. Gompers is particularly intent upon obtaining plank in each plat form declaring against the use of the injunction process against strikes. A row over this is expected in the Dem ocratic convention, which could not adopt such a plan without repudiat- ing the Wilson administration advo- cation of the injunction process to break the coal miners strike.
 The attack of the federation's chief upon the labor party movement was called forth by a telegram from Will liam Mitchell of Terre Haute, Ind, representing the Indiana State Labor Party, opposing the political program Of the federation, pronouncing it i'm practical and absolutely unsuccessful and declaring that only q labor party can adequately protect the interests of the workers.
 Mr. Gompers challenged tho India na men to prove that the federation has been impractical and unsuccess- ful, inquired on what experience they could base the claim for greater sue cess by a labor party, and added:
 "Of this one thing you may rest assured, that the cay of reckoning is at hand for all of those who are in antagonism to the cause of labor, ard for those who are subtle and equally guilty, even though they elothe their actions in the robes Of pretended friendship.
