WILL NOT TAMELY
RESUME SHACKLES
RAILROAD WORKERS CONTEND
FOR NATIONAL AGREEMENTS.
NEW SPIRIT IN WORKERS.
WANT THEM PERPETUATED
Clerks Representative Tells Labor
Board Abrogation Would Be
Return to Strife and Con.
tentlon as of Old.

Chi0go-A return OF ''what was
tantamount to civil war among indus
trial workers" would be prevented by
the perpeauation OF national agree
ments between the railroads and their
employees, the railroad labor board
was told when 1t resumed hearings
on the rules controversy after a two
weeks recess Representative Of
the clerks p.ssenIed lengthy state
ment to the board in reply to the
carriers objections to the existing ma
tional agreements.
r. P. Dee, vice-president OF the
Brotherhood of Railroad and Steam.
ship Clerks, Freight Handlers, Elk
press and Station Employees, declared
that TO abrogate the national agree
ments would be equivalent to re-es-
tablishing old conditions of armored
trains, private detective agencies and
all the evils for which they stand. "
Through the national agreements, /"
he said, "a new spirit has been born
In the breasts of the workers and we
will not peacefully bow down to con-
ditions which prevailed prior to Jan.
/, 1918. The worker has slipped the
true meaning Of liberty and will not
submit to the shackles of indsutrial
slavery being fastened upon him"
Mr.. Dee declared the national agree
ments provided for an orderly process
of handling disputes without Interrupt
tion to traffic in contrast to "contih
uous strife prior to Jan. 1, 1918. He
cited the improved conditions of the
workers in his apartment and said
that 10 deny them THE rights gained
under the national agreement would
be a step backward.
Mr.. Dee took up the provisions OF
the agreement rule by rule and in
many cases commended that they were
practically identified with agreements
exi-tng on many roads prior to the
national agreements.

WILSON DEFENDS
BARUCH AND Ryan
DENIES CHARGE THAT THEY HAD
PRoFITED OUT OF COPPER.
EXPRESSES CONFIDENCE.
NEITHER FIXED THE PRICES
Chief Executive Declares He RegW

OF War Industries Board
and Trade Commission.

Washington. President Wilson
fatty denied charges made in the
house by Representative Mason. Re
publican, Illinois, and others that B.
NJ. Baruch and John ID. Ryan had
proited out of the government as a
result Of the fixing OF the price OF
copper during the world war.
Writing Ito Representative Garrett,
Democrat, Tennessee, the president
characterized the charges as "irre.
sponsible gossip" and declared that he
could not allow this occasion to pass
without again expressing his great
confidence" in Mr.. Baruch and Mr..
Ryan.
There was not suggestion OF
scandal connected with either of these
gentlemen in any of the war activi.

a part" the president wnote. "and
wish, tIsfore the closing days of this
administration, again to say how ad.
mirahly they served the needs of the
nation and how unselfishly they de-
voted their fine talents to the gov.
eminent In every crisis which faced
us during the critical days of the
war"
The president seid that neither
Baruch or Ryan had anything 10 do
with the fixing of prices, and added:
ITO state that either Mr. Baruch
OF Mr.. Ryan had influenced the az.
tb9n of the federal trade commission
in ascertaining the cost of production
or attempting to didate the recon.
mcndetion either OF the war indus.

committees, is utterly fool n and
without foundation In fact.
The price of copper was liked sale-
ly by me, on recommendations IT the
war industries board and the federal
+rSGe commission, after full cxam'La'
tion into the costs of product in and
without any attempt upon the Lart Il
TIE copper producers or Mr.. 3ardch
or Mr.. Baruch to exert any pressure
upon this government or upon any
body connected with either Of the
boards having to do with these vital
matters"

'POPGUN TARIFF IS
NOW UP TO WILSON
ELEVEN DEMOCRATS PULLED
AWAY FROM PARTY POSITION
AND SUPPORT BILL.
SLIGHT CHANCE FOR BILL
Underwood Says President win Let
Fordney Measure Die Without Re.
turning 1t to consress-Goes
to White House.

Washington. Congressiona action
on the Fordney emergency tariff bill
was completed by the Senate and the
fate OF the measure, designed to de.
feat the slump in farm commodity
prices, now rests with President Will
son.
The Senate action, which was to APP
prove the report of its conference
committee, was by vote of 40 to
36. Eleven Democrats pulled away
from their party position and sup
ported the bill, while four Repub-
licans voted against the measure. The
House adopted the conference report
by a vote of 205 to 1877.
Supporters of the bill turned to
watch for the next move at the White
House. Senator Underwood of Ala
bama, minority leader in the Senate,
recently stated he had assurances
that the president would withhold his
signature. Due to the termination Of
this Congress within less than 10
days, the president can either veto
the bill and send 1t back with his
reasons for doing so or he can simply
destroy 1t by a pocket vote, which
would give no opportunity for Con-
gress to attempt to override his
wishes Final votes on the measure,
its opponents declared, showed slight
possibility of the necessary two
thirds majority being given either in
the House or Senate for overriding a
veto.
Democratic senators made a final
assault on the bill when the report
of the conference committee was taken
up, and for five hours drove at what
they described as the iniquit'es Of the
legislation, Although only two voices
were raised in defense of the bill, and
they for only few minutes, the argu-
ment Enclosed by the Democrats avail
ed nothing.
