Deadlock Holds
In Senate Over
Shipping Measure

Washington, Dec. 20.-Five hours of
debate and parliamentary Vancouver
ing in the Senate today served only to
tighten the deadlock which has existed
for three days between opposing and
almost equal groups, one fighting to
keep the administration shipping bill
before the Senate and the other to dis
place that measure.
Three separate and distinct efforts
were made during the day to break the
deadlock through unanimous con-
sent agreement to vote 1T designated

aside the shipping bill and to take up

statement on the European situation
had endeavored to affect the cotton and

Shipping and agricultural relief leg

and when the Senate adjourned admin

mistic over the possibility of vote
within several weeks upon the ship
bill. General belief was expressed
that the Christmas recess would come

Clemenceau Home
After Stormy Voyage
Sends Holiday Word

Havre, France. Dec. 20.-(By A. P)--
Georges Clemenceau arrived home from
his American pilgrimage today in a
happy mood. but apparently tired.
The Tiger received representatives,
of the press in his stateroon as the
liner Paris was entering the port. A
large crowd OF relatives and friends.
as well as the correspondents and pho
tographers, also greeted him before
The steamer locked. Clemenceau began
his visit with the newspapermen by
denying various interviews printed IN
the French press, particularly one sent
from New York to the Petit Parisien.
The former premier had a very stormy
voyage. He appeared gay and viva
cious, but under the surface his friends
saw that his experience in the United
States had been almost too much for
him. He will go to his Paris home for
two weeks and then take long rest
at his country place in the Vendee at
st. Vincent du Jar. II hope for good
results from my American trip" said
NJ. Clemenceau to the Associated Press.
However, let the people decide. I put
my thoughts fully before them and
they have certainly got sense enough
to judge. 1t was apparent that there
was n vast amount of interest in me
personally. for which am most grate-
full. 1t is a rare compliment.
Later he added. Maybe it is too
soon, but it is my best opportunity.
Say, please. to our friends in the
United States: My first thought on
sight Of France was that I was glad
to be home; second. that was sorry
had left the United States

Year from an old friend"

|Pressmen Not
Justified in Holding
Up Extra Editions

New York. Dec. o0-Press room
crews of evening papers who refused
to work overtime to print election
extras on November Z, were not
justified in their action, Federal
Judge Learned Hand declared today
as arbitrator in the controversy be-
tween the pressmen and the publish
crs.
In making this decision in favor
OF the publishers, Judge Hand based
his finding on his Interpretation of
the award made by Federal Judge
Manton last February in respect to
maintaining an eight hour day in the
industry when Judge Manton was ar
bitter between the publishers and
Web Pressmen's Unicn No. 25.
The exact question submitted to
Judge Hand was:
"Under the arbitrated terms Of
contract. are pressmen obligated to
work over time when so ordered by
4 foreman or publisher"
Judge Hands decision was:
"The practice has been uniform of
printing election extras. not only be-
fore the work day was limited, but
thereafter: it seems to me that the
Manton award did not justify the
mems refusal to work, and so
find"
Commenting on his decision, Judge
Hand said:
"a press may have to be held up
for some SCOOP for an event of ma
ticnal Importance, for an election re-
turn, for many other matters which,
if the public is to get its news, cam
not be omitted"
