flooded with buying orders which
forced it to 1856, shorts meanwhile
making frantic efforts TO cover their
contracts.
From its new top the stock reacted

profits by fortunate traders, but this
was followed by another advance to

of 81 points for the session and a
total of 37z points since last weeks

WASHINGTON, June 90. The
senate late today adopted the con-
ference report on the army appro-
priation bill fixing the size of the
army for the coming fiscal year at
$4,000 officers and 125.000 enlisted
men. The house has yet to act on
the report, which includes an appro-
priation of s7,5O0,000 for continua-
ton of work on the Muscle Shoals
power project.
In adopting the report of its con-
ference committee the senate gave
its approval to a provision placing

SHOP WORKERS VOTE
98 PER CENT STRONG
FOR STRIKE IS CLAIM

CHICAGO, June 22-Despite a lull
in the flow of strike ballots into the
HEADQUARTERS of the railway shop
unions for two days, every mail to-
day brought stacks of the colored
slips and tonight union officials pre-
dicted that canvass sof the vote
could be taken by Sunday and that 1t
would stand SO per cent in favor Of
a walkout.
Ten general chairmen reached Chi
cago today, preparatory TO the gen.
eral chairmen's committee meeting
on Saturday. and began tabulating
the strike votes.
Some delay in the receipt of bal
lots was ascribed by union headquar-
ters TO the fact that many or the
ballots, which We're shipped out py
parcel post were returned the same
way after being marked and conse-
Nquently were held in the mails untll
first class postage was paid. Ihlrty
contract cases, scheduled for nearing
before the railroad labor board June
26. can not have any possible effect
on the strike question over the con-
tracing of shop work to outside
firms according to John Scott. sec
retary of the railway employees de-
partment of the American Fedora
tion of Labor.
The board recently took jurisdic-
ton of six roads, where the farming
out process had aroused protest from
the shop men and will hear those
cases along with the two dozen oth-
ers next Monday. 1t is expected that
the strike vote will have been COM
piled by that date, however, and pos
siblv action taken on the vote by the
general committee.

expended from $100,000,000 to $780,
100000 TO secure adoption of the
prohibition amendment, Representa-
tive Tinkham. Republican, of Massa
chusetts, attacked the department OF
justice today in the house for failing
to act against the league under the

tion Commissioner Haynes for the

Haynes made himself 'partlceps

constitution of the United States" by
representative Cranton, Republican
of Michigan, who gained the floor
after the attack on the Anti-Saloon
League.
Ihere was an uproar When Repre-
sentative Connally, Democrat of
Texas, demanded that the statement
by Mr.. Tinkham as to What should be
said of a member of the house
political bills are paid not by himself
but by those seeking legislation
through him." be stricken from the
record A point OF order against
that part of the speech was overruled,
however.
Referring to published reports that
representatives from IL states at
tending an Anti Saloon League meet
ing at Milwaukee had promised their
aid to Representative Volstead of
the seventh Minnesota district and
characterizing it as Legislative
bribery" Mr.. Tinkham said:
Here again we have the outrage
Gus situation about which l have
protested. Here we have the Anti
Saloon League, dependent upon the
representative of the seventh Mime
sofa district for its intended further
restrictions of the personal liberties
of our people, proposing 20 purchase
that preferential treatment it has
received heretofore by support with
money, a campaign for re election OF

tered and great property damage be-
ing wrought by the mutineers, no
authentic reports as yet of loss OF lie

sion, as the telegram said the refugee
converts were besieged in the com :
pound by the. Chinese soldiers.

gunboats are speeding up the Kan
river to the zone of terror, which ex-
tends over a considerable area OF

er was injured during the fighting.
but that the numerous killed were
shot down in cold blood after they
had surrendered themselves and
their arms. There was nothing from
the union miners to contradict these
claims. Several of the men imported
to work the mine absolved the strik-
ers from blame, saying that the ones
responsible were those who sent us
here under false promises that there
would be no trouble and that the
miners would not object. /"
