DUBLIN. Dec 81. - The Dali
Eireann BIZ vote OF ~ 10 a de-
cided late Thursday. on "a motion
submitted by Michael Collins, TO adj
fourn further debate ON the Irish
treaty until Tuesday, Jan. g. tt
was not the motion itself. but an
amendment TO the motion, on which
the vote was actually taken. The
amendment, introduced and second
ed by opponents OF the treaty, called
for continuous sittings day and eve
ming until a division was taken on
the treaty's ratification or rejec-
ton.
The defeat OF the amendment au-
tomaticauy decided the motion.
with few exceptions. so far as could
be observed, the vote followed the
party lines Of those favoring or OPP
posing the treaty.
Appropriate Sentiment
Nobody tonight believes, OF course.
that q vote had been taken on the
treaty itself the majority would
have been so great as the vote on
the adjournment motion gave It's
supporters. but there Is no doubt
IN the minds OF those who have been
following the debates carefully that
this vote roughly approximates the
sentiments for and against the
treaty. This is denied by some OF
the opponents OF the treaty who
assert that il was not a fair test
as many OF the deputies on both
sides. especially the country mem
bers. disliked the idea OF the debate
continuing through Christmas and
voted for adjournment IN order that
they might get home for the holi-
days.
In fact, Countess Markievicz, one
OF the strongest opponents Of the
treaty. seconded Mr.. Collins pro-
posal. apparently having In mind.
as indicated by her satiricaI second
ing speech the possibility OF the
debate continuing through Christ

the possibility Of a party division

Collins Shows Eagerness.
Mr.. Collins showed eagerness TO
~ush his motion through 10 quick
division. He summarily checked
Mr.. Milroy, who interrupted the
taking OF the vote TO have the Ques-

Diverted Each Year.

roads OF the country might be real

were not improperly diverted" w.
Jett Lauck, identified with the
American Federation OF Labor, de-
clared Thursday night in reply to
statement issued in Chicago on
Tuesday by c. II. Markham. presi-
dent OF the Illinois Central rail-
road, who took exception to what
he termed "a campaign Of abuse" by
certain labor leaders.
Mr.. Markham in a public state
ment TO the employees of his road,
criticized the testimony before a
senate committee recently of Mr..
Lauck, "of the railway employees
department, American Federation of
Labor" and others as being with
out a shred OF evidence" He fur
ther suggested that should his en-
plOyeS after investigation find the
testimony OF their leaders 70 be IN
warranted, that they 'as honest men
publicly disavow the men who thus
misrepresent you"
Warns Markham.
Mr.. Lauck In his statement Thurs
day night said that II Pres't Mark
ham and other railroad executives
hope 20 retain the loyalty and CO.
operation OF their employees" they
should be scruplous in ascertaining
and stating the truth frankly and
openly" He said that the construct
i've policy OF the railroads had only
embraced three points, which he
classified as abusive attacks upon
all those who speak for the en-
ployes. the reduction OF railway
wages and the grabbing from the
public treasury OF the largest sums
Obtainable." Such "a selfish, re-
str!cted and evasive policy" he add
ed. will not stand the test OF pub
lie scrutiny and cannot long en-
dure."
