Washington, July 20.-In voting to- day sS to IT. to limit the duties on cot ton gloves to maximum of 75 per cent ad valoren, the senate administered to the finance committee majority the most decisive defeat it has suffered since IL became in the administration tariff bill three months ago. Twenty republicans including Senator Lodge of Massachu- setts, the majority floor leader, voted against the committee The other nine teen were:

One democrat, Broussard, Louisiana, voted with the committee majority Senator Isenroot led the fight for the maximum limitation. He estimated that l in the case of some gloves the commit 1 tee rates which remained in the bill l would equal 1l9 per cent. ad valorem, in l the cSse of others 104 per cent. and in 1.-the case of still others 92 per cent. He declared congress should not impose greater duty than 75 per cent. ad va l lorem on any article of such general uss
 as gloves in order to stimulate domestic l production.
 Senators Wadsworth and Calder, re- 1 publicans, New York led the opposition to the Lenroot maximum amendment contending that unless the domestic man ufaeturers were protected Germany would get a monopoly of the American l business and then charge every cent the l traffic would bear. Senator Wadswortl l said the factories producing these gloves 1 at Gloversville, N. Y, already were closed.
 After the action on the glove duties, thu senate turned to the jute section, ap proving a. rate of four cents a pound on hackled hemp after rejecting 52 t IS an amendment by Senator Robinson

REVIEW OF CONDITIONS
 OF THE RAILWAY STRIKE

Chicago, July 20.-(By The A P.l =. With all peace negotiations in the coun- try-wide strike of railway shopmen ap rarently at a standstill today, attention was directed tonight to the possibility of government intervention and the ac- ton of individual roads in seeking sep arate settlement with their men.
 The Baltimore and Ohio railroad post ed notices today that since the Chicago conciliation efforts had failed, it was now ready to confer with it's men, in expressed tconfidense that an agreemtnt could be reached. Roads of the north west are reported to have been nego:=a ing for settlement in that section for the past ten days and southern rail- way was said today to be pursuing similar course.
 Eastern executives meeting in Ne5r York today issued a statement reiterat- ing their contention that the strike s aimed at, the government and not at the roads The executives indicated that every effort would be made to co-opes- ate with the government
 No indication of new peace overtures from any source were to be seen here to- day While the situation was allowed to follow it's own course apparently, the clerks on the Chesapeake and Ohio rail- road went on strike and strike ballots were ordered sent to clerks and freight handlers on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul road.
 A group of new shop employees at the South Chicago shops of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad also quit work and it was announced that clerks on the Giti- cago and Northwestern railroad were awaiting the result of conferences bn- tween George A. Worre1l of the clerks organization and Frank Walters, gene-- al manager of the road.
 Troops were sent to Hoisington. Kan- sas. and to Rocky Mount, N C., an1 Aberdeen, N. C.. while original plans to remove troops from Waycross, Ga. were abandoned when local authorities said they were still needed.
 Disorders during the day were con. | fined for the most part to fioggings ad- ministered to kidnapped workers by strike sympthizers, although two Penn sylvania railroad patrelmen. a car in. spector and constable were shot whie on railroad patrol duty, south of Bent 1 leyville. Pa.
 Federal courts continued to issue tenn, porary restraining orders and injunc- tions to protect the roads from inte. | ference with property and employees by strike sympathizers.

 Matters are temporarily in suspen- sion because when arbitration was de. nied there was but one consistent thinr to do as l saw it, and that was 10 inrIfe production You may expect the seiec- tion of a commission, because Americsr welfare will not permit those who as sume to serve it to deny for any req son the supply of such a necessity sf fuel. and thereby jeopardize American life and health and happiness.
 Moreover. there was third party tc submit its case to the commission-ths great American public. The primary ob- ject was the prompt and just ending of dispute. The broader purpose was searching inquiry into the coal indus try, to learn all. the causes of dispute and find a way to avoid them in the fu- ture. It may be desirable to modify the form of the commission as originally proposed. because it was first designed to meet most promptly the exigency ! then existing. I wished a settlement si the conference table where all could be heard and all be represented on the com ] mission.
 Tt has seemed to me that time to aD- praise the situation. the opportunity to measure the uno1estioned fairness of he proposal, and s=ns= the obligations in i voived. and a period in which 10 rcsurif | production. would either avoid drast.c 1 steps on the one hand. or clearly justify them on the other.
