Labor Has Bill
IO COunteract
The Open Shop
Heads Approve Measure to
Legalize Right to Organize
in All Industries, Despite
Individual Contracts
Aimed at Hitchman Case
Rehearing of Decision De.
claring Secondary Boycott
Illegal Also Is Sought

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. Approval
was given to-day by international labor
union heads and their attorneys to "A
tentative draft of bill to legalize in
the nation and states the right of labor
unions to organize all fields of indus
try despite individual contracts between
employers and employees prohibiting
union membership.
The bill, which is designed to offset
the effect Of the United States Su-
preme Court decision in the Hitchman
Coal and Coke Company case uphold
ing the validity Of these individual con-
tracts, will be submitted at once to the
executive council Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor for final approval.
The union heads also instructed their
counsel to ascertain if it would be pos
sible to ask for rehearing Of the
case of the Duplex Printing Press Com
pany against the International Asso-
citation of Machinists, in which the
United States Supreme Court handed
down decision declaring secondary
boycott by labor unions illegal. The
attorneys were directed to proceed with
their application unless the time limit
allowed by the court had expired. The
Hltchman decision, which also made
labor unions liable to monetary dam
ages, if any employee joined a union
organization in violation Of his con-
tract which stipulated that he would
not join any labor organization, was
handed down by the Supreme Court
in 1918.
international onions which have
joined the fight to have the individual
contracts declared illegal and make
unionization of such workers possible
are the United Mine Workers OF Amer
lca, the Moulders' Union, Amalgamated ID
Association Of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers, international Association of
Machlnlsts and the street railway
workers. Their heads were called in
conference here by Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, and to-day's action is be-
lleved to be ore of the opening wedges
In the proposed program of the fedora
ton to counter arti-union legislation
and the open shop"
John l.. Lewis, international presi-
dent of the mine workers, in address,
ing the conference, declared that the
Hitchman decision had been great
menace to organized labor" and q great
handicap to the mine workers orsani-
cation in unionizing the West Virginia
coal fields.
Upon these so-called yellow dog
contracts legalized by the Hitchman
decision," Lewis said, "the operators
had gone into the courts and obtained
lnjunctions preventing organization of
their employees"

Hint of Red Hat Seen i'm
Pope's Words to Hayes
Pontiff Wishes Visitor TO Return
Soon; Dougherty Among Six
To Be Cardinals

ROME, Feb. %. - The Osseryatore
Romano, organ of the Vatican, to-day

that the coming secret consistory will

sistory March 10. The following Cardi-

Rail Payment
OF 3 SO Million
Townsend-W Winslow Bill TO
Meet u. S. Guaranty for
Last Six Months Goes
Through Without Rollcall
Wilson View i'm Doubt
La Toilette Charges Road
Owners Mulct Public by
Supply Company Profits
From, The rribunc's Washington Bureau


WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Thc Senate
without n roll call to-day passed the
railroad partial payment bill known as
the Townsend Winslow bill. Efforts to
amend the measure failed and the bill
which had previously passed the House,
went to the President for signature to-
night.
If the bill becomes a law it will mean
the payment to the railroads in the
near future of about $3.50, 100000 which
is due them under the six months
guarantee provision of the new trans
portation act. The money to pay this
has already been appropriated.
While it is generally assumed the
President will sign the bill, his course
is uncertain. Secretary of the Treas
ury Houston is opposed to it and it is
not impossible the President will be
guided by his views.
Senator Townsend, of Michigan, who
was in charge of the bill on the floor,
explained its purposes.
There is now due the railroads un-
der the guarantee provisions of the new
transportation act O,00O,00O. This
guarantee expired last September and
ran for six months from the time the
roads went back to the companies. The
money has been appropriated and pre-
sumably is in the Treasury Of the
United States,
IF the bill just passed by the SEN
ate becomes law, the Interstate Com
merCe Commission can issue certifi-
cate after it finds what is due any road
and after deducting any claims which
the government has against the road,
and this certificate of the commission
must be honored and paid by the Treas
ury Department. 1t was supposed the
commission could do that before, but
a decision Of the Comptroller of the
Treasury held otherwise. The present
bill was made necessary by the deci-
sion of the Comptroller and it pro
vides for partial payments on ccrtifi-
cate Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission without waiting for final set.
tlement.'
rebate on the bill to-day was marked
by another vitrolc attack both on The
measure and on the management of
the roads and the new transportation
continuation Of his attack of Monday.
He charged that certain New York
banks and groups of banks owned the
railroads and also had a grip on the
ownership of the supply companies.
The effect, he alleged, was that the
public was mulctG~+ of enormous sums
by giving contracts to favored supply
companies.

Announces He Will Take
Appeal 10 Highest Court

UTICA, n. Y, Feb. 22.--The Inter

right to increase freight rates and pas
senger fares in the State of New York,
according to an opinion filed in Federal
Court here to-day by Judges Martin T.
Manton, George w. Ray and John r.
Hazel.
The relief asked by the several rail-
roads of the right TO increase rates and
passenger fares is granted and the mo-
tion of Attorney General Newton for
an injunction to prevent the increase
is denied. The motion Of the United
States and of the Interstate Commerce
Commission to dismiss the bill of COM
plaint for want of equity is granted
The Public Service Commission and the
Attorney General are restrained BY in
junction from commencing any action to
enforce provisions of the law Of the
state regarding fares and rates or from
doing anything that would prevent the
railroads from charging the intrastate
fares established by the Interstate Com
mercc Commission.
The decision gives the roads the
right to increase passenger rates 20
per cent, The court decides that Con
gress has the power TO fix intrastate
rates and fares to prevent unreason-
able advantage between persons and
localities. The court holds that where
the state and Federal views conflict
the judgment of Congress and it's con-
stituted agencies shall control.

that, to me, seems the biggest thing
Henry L. Doherty & Company have
ever done.
While they purchase outright
properties all over the country and
develop them with success because
they have pride of Workmanship
Pride of Service" they have
never bought any public utility
greater than the one | classify as
GOODWILL and CONFIDENCE,
which they own and have won, be-
cause of their spirit of fair dealing.
THIS IS A REAL FRANCHISE.
This GOODWILL AND CONFI-
DENCE FRANCHISE in Greater
