Washington, April 14-Payment to
Colombia of s25, O00, 900 as provided in

in the Senate today as a measure of
justice and a moral obligation. and
attacked as without justification.

Taking issue with Senator Pome-

Mass. House Passes
Bill to Permit Suits
Against Labor Unions

Boston, April IA bill to authorize
legal suits in Massachusetts by and
against voluntary associations, includ-
ing labor unions, was passed late to-
day by the House. of Representatives.
The vote was 116 to % after motion
to postpone action of the measure un-
til the next legislature had been re-
jected.
During the day the state branch OF
the American Federation of Labor sent
letters to the Legislators announcing
it's opposition to the BILL which has
been fought by representatives of or
ganized labor virtually since its intro
duction. The proposed act now goes
to the Senate.
Heated discussion marked The pro-
gress OF the bill from the time of its
inception. Opponents of it argued that
it was directly aimed at labor unions
in an effort to enable employees to tie
up union funds during the strikes.
Proponents argued that failure to pass
it would mean that the labor union
was to be considered a class favored
above the res. of society in legislation.

GUNNER COX GETS
HONOR MEDAL FOR
SAVING MISSOURI

Washington, April 14.-Robert Ed
gunner in the navy, enjoyed today the
unique distinction of having the pres
ident of the United States personally
pin on his breast the highest award
for valor--thc Congressional Medal of
Honor.
The ceremony took place in the. East
room of the White House on che sew
enth anniversary of the day on which
Gunner Cox saved the battleship Mis-
souri, from destruction by flooding her
after magazines after an explosion in
turret had set fire to powder in the
adjoining handling room. Two other
men. NJ. Monsen and S. c. Schepke,
the gunner's mates, but now commits
stoned officers, previously had received
medals of honor for their heroic work
in assisting Cox in removing injured
men from the burning handling room.
Thirty men were killed in the accident.
Cox at that time held the rank of
warrant officer and was debarred
from receiving the medal of honor by
to enlisted men, though the recommen-
dation of the captain of the Missouri
was approved by the commander-in-
chief of the North Atlantic feet and
President Roosevelt. Not until last
February. a year after the history of
the event was laid before Congress,
was special legislation enacted Permit
ting exception to be made in Cox's
case.
In presenting the medal President
Harding said:
"Our country has been so blessed
in the courage and patriotism of its
sons, so accustomed to expect SUI
preme heroism from them that We have
been chary of comforting distinctions.
Yours is the first in which an officer
of the navy has received it through
such ceremony as we are holding to-
day, and so this presentation marks
for you and for US the unique recog-
milton of extraordinary deserts.
You have maintained the finest ira
ditions of a service splendidly enrich
cd with the records of noblest sacri-
flee, unselfishness, heroism. You have
been one of the makers of those ira
. ditions to which we look as the COM
plete assurance of our country's Sc
curity' power and eminence in the
world. Your example will always
shine as a beacon for others TO whom
may come the call for such service as
you have given, and trust that the
testimony of your nations gratitude
which I now place on your breast may
be for many others an inspiration to
such deeds as you have done for the
honor and service of your country.

Chicago, April IA. (By The Associat-

defining working conditions for en-
ployes on all American railroads for
merly under the federal railroad ad-
ministration were today ordered alb
rogated, effective July 1, 1921 by the
United States Railroad Labor Board.
The board called upon the officers
and system organizations of employees
of each railroad to select representa-
tives to confer and to decide as much
of the rules controversy as possible.
Such conferences shall begin at the
earliest possible date, the decision
said. ',..
While the decision did not specifi-
cally say so, members Of the board
said that all disputes as to rules and
working conditions automatically
were referred back to individual con-
ferences between each individual road
and it's employees. This method OF
procedure had been sought by the
railroads, whereas the labor side had
favored a national conference be-
tween representatives of the "all-un-

Boston, April 14-Resumption Of
building construction throughout
Boston under open shop conditions
was ordered late today by the Build
ing Trades Employers Association
Board of Councillors. Relations with
the United Building Trades Council,
with which the employers organiza-
ton has been indispute over wages
and working conditions since Janu-
airy, will not be considered, announce
ment of the employers association
said. A ninety cent an hour wage
will be paid. it was added.
Leaders of the United Building
Trades Council when notified of the
employers action asserted that one
of the bitterest labor wars ever
waged in this territory had been
started. A meeting of the union was
called for tomorrow night when the
employers effort to resume building
will be considered. About $4,000
workmen in the trade have been idle
since expiration in January of an
agreement under which building
mechanics received a wage of 81 an
hour. The employers at that time
announced a reduction to 90 cents an
hour, which was rejected by the
union.
In inviting workers today to take
up their tools under open shop con-
ditions the Employers association
pledged itself never to enter any
agreement which would permit pen
alizing union men for returning to
work under the present offer. The
employers, their statement tonight
said, ARE not out to crush or annihil-
ate labor Resumption of work was
not wanted without an agreement

NO POOL DECLARES GOVT,

The prime minister in a two-houl
conference int he morning with rep.
resentatives Of the Triple Alliance
declared the government would fight
on its refusal to grant a nationa
pool Of profits. There is still some
mystery about the actual offer the
government made to the miners. NJ
details of the financial assistance
contemplated have been given Off.
cially and, according to some intim
atoms from the miners side, the gov.
eminent has only promised assistance
Tor the period of month or six
weeks, which the miners consider to-
tally inadequate. This may possibly
explain the miners accusations
| which the general public only diml,
comprehends, that the government is
acting solely in the interests Of the
mine owners.
After the failure of the morning
conference, some hope remained thai
mediation might be the outcome OF
the parliamentary conference made
up of the parliamentary committee
of the trade union congress, the ma
tional executive of the Labor party
and the parliamentary labor party
This important conference, however
after pronouncing itself uncompro-
misingly on the side of the miners
and the Triple Alliance and against
the government, gave no sign of in
itiating new negotiations or media
ton. There was practically no peace
/ talk at the conference: the general
feeling appeared to be that any fur
Their attempt to approach the govern
ment would be futile.
The resolution adopted by this body
is not a definite pledge to strike ac-
ton, this being a matter for indivi-
dual unions, but the appointment OF
q committee to act with the triple al
lance is considered more important
move than has happened in a.ny pre-
vious industrial crisis.
Another aspect differing this from
previous struggles is the universal re-
spouse of labor to the miners call.
For example, in no previous strike
has the union of the locomotive men
acted with the National Union of
Railwaymen. Other railway services,
in the exent of a strike, may be re-
placed by volunteers, but it will be
difficult to find competent drivers.
The decision of the federation of
general workers to support the triple
alliance is also highly important

French Answer
on Mandates Also
of Preliminary Nature

washington, April 1.-THE French
reply to Secretary Hughes notes re-
garding mandates, the only one thus
far received from any of the four
great powers addressed, was made
public simultaneously today in Wash
ington and Paris. 1t is in the form
Of letter from Premier BRAND to
Ambassador Wallace and is of a pre-
Mminary nature, NJ. BRAND stating
that q full reply could not be made
until after an understanding has
been reached between the govern
ments of the four interested powers
at the next meeting of the supreme
council of the allies"
The reply was issued by the State
department. without comment, but
administration officers said it was
very agreeable to the United States
and while not an absolute commit
ment, was couched in diplomatic
language that was tantamount to a
recognition of the principle laid down
by Mr.. Hughes.
Reference in the letter is made to
an unpublished French note to the
United States regarding zap in which
france confirms that at meetings of
the Supreme council before that of
May Z, 1919 when a mandate for the
Northern Pacific Islands was award
ed to Japan, reservations regarding
the Island of zap were made by Pres
ident Wilson and by Secretary Lans-
ing in addition. That note also says
that the reservations were made in
the presence of the representative Of
Japan, Baron Maxine, who had not
objected that the question raised
should be placed in discussion and
that consequently the Japanese gov
eminent was cognizant of the Amer
lean reservations.
