CAN'T STRIKE PLAN
 TENDER TO BOSSES
Poindexter Slips in Bill Again to Coerce Workers in
 Public Life.

Washington, May 6.-Senator Poin- dexter has reintroduced his bill to make interstate commerce strikes illegal. This bill slipped through the senate at the last session, when half dozen members were present, but was held i'll the sen- ate by a parliamentary move of its op- ponents and congress adjourned without taking action.
 The bill provides for fine of $10OOO or 10 years imprisonment, or both, for any one who shall by word of mouth, or by the presentation, exhibition or circulation of written or printed words, or otherwise, solicit, advise, induce or persuade, or attempt to induce or per- suade any person or persons, employed by any common carrier subject to the act to regulate commerce" to quit their employment
 In another section of the law a pun ishment of $500 or six months inpris- onment is provided where managers or employees combine with the intent to substantially" interfere with commerce.
 Where the managers are involved less punishment. is provided and the intent to interfere must be Substantially" In the section that makes 1t illegal for one worker to even attempt to induce" an- other worker to quit his employment there Is no reference to Substantially" and the fine Is not $500 and six months imprisonment. It is $l0,000 and 10 years.
 In other words it is 20 times as seri- ous for one railroad ernploye to ask an- other to quit his employment as it is for railroad managers to combine to substantially hinder transportation. The managers have an additional loop hole to escape by being permitted to prove that their hindrance to commerce was not Substantial" In the workers case he violates the law before commerce is hindercd If he even suggests to a fellow worker that he should quit, he is guilty under the law and can be jailed for 10 wears

 An act which every New York man ager is seeking accompanied by the wild waving of a contract Is that of Frances Mink and her Musical Comedy Oxtette, the eight best juvenile dancers known to Broadway. But while the managers along the Great White Way are clamor- ing for the attraction it will appear at the head of the Palace bill on Monday, Tuesday and "Wednesday. The act is a superbly staged revue of songs and dances from the musical successes of the past season. The act is considered by the knowing ones who have seen 1t to be one of the most original and unique vaudeville conceptions that has come from any producer this season.

LEGISLATURE LAYS
 OFF EXCISE LAWS

The Legislature will not disturb the present excise laws, either by repeating the state measures, or advocating amend mcnt of the Volstead act according to Senator Delaney expressed to the Sen ate yesterday. The statement was made in recommending the rejection of the bill defining the duties of the county com missiOners as to issuing licenses. The committe on judiciary believes, he said, it would be unwise to interfere with the excise laws until the prohibition law is settled, as 1t may be repealed, amended or otherwise changed SO that legislation might be needed here.
 The committee also reported unfavor- ably the 'prohibition" bill for the en- forcement of the 18th amendment. This is the bill even more drastic than the No1stcad law The committee Is con- sfdering the possibility of reporting a substitute bill.

 The job pressmen of this city last night met and took a strike vote on orders of their international unoln. The vote was to insist on the 44-hour week as agreed upon. They have so far not been affected because of the routine of their order making strike vote necessary. This is now about finished and the press men will probably be out with the print CTS within few days. This will com pletely tie up the plants refusing to live up to the agreement
