WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Repre-
sentatives of the railroad brotherhoods
were heard to-day by the Foreign Re
latiens Committee of the Senate in op-
position to the Kellogg bill to provide
for the better protection OF aliens and
enforcement Of their treaty rights.
This is the bill recommended by the
President to cope with such outrages
as the one at Herri-, Ill.
~ has become apparent that the bill
will encounter formidable opposition in
the Senate and that its constitutional
ity will be assailcd.
Arthur J. Lowell, vice-president Of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineera, said there were at least 10000
aliens killed in America every year
through accidents and other causes and
many thousands injured. He said the
Kellogg bill raised 8 huge question OF
nent, that under it shrewd lawyers
for embassies and legations of foreign
powers would bring damage cases whicl,
would be tried in the Federal courts
and the government would find itself
subjected to endless claims for dam.
ages which would greatly increase in
ternational friction.
The circumstances under which the
bill is being urged" said Mr.. Lowell
"show clearly that its real object is to
put the Federal government into the
business of strike breaking ON a ma
tionRl scale on the specious pretext
that the rights Of an alien somewhere
may be injured or threatened"

PoUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y. Aug. a.
The New York State Federation OF
Labor adjourned It's ffty-ninth annual
convention this evening after e!ecting
James r. Holland president for the
ninth tima, and with him the other off
GERS who served during the last twelve
months. Plattsburg was selected ns
the Meeting place in 1923.
The closing hours were filed with
further criticism of Governor Miller
and his administration ss one ttat had
cmasculatsd laws enacted to protect
labor and had furthered capitalistic in
terests and the open shop program.
The stste police, called Governor
Miller'a Cossackss by Mr.. Holland and
other speakers, were accused Of brutal
tiles while on duty in connection with
the trolley strike IN Buffalo. The con-
vention adopted q resolution looking
toward abolishing the constabuiary
through legislative action next year,
or, failing that, to have the state police
act so amended AS to keep the troopers
confined to rural districts.
AS final word Mr, Holland again
pleaded with the labor men TO begin
non partisan campaigns as soon rs
they reacf, their homes, urging them
to forget whether q man is a Repub-
lican, Democrat or Socialist, and vote
this fall on the basis OF whether tbs
candidate would be fair to organized
labor in Congress or the Legislature.
Labor troubles in Buffalo we're tbs
subject Of most Of the conventions
considerations to-day. A resolution
! was adopted asking every member Of
the Legislature to petition Governor
Miliee to investigate the strike there
on tho lines of the international Rail
way Company, which, speakers said, tbs
company was trying to break With mer
loaned by the Philadelphia RAPID
Transit Company for the purpose OF
establishing an open shop.
Mayor George r. Lunn. Of Sehenec-

Yesterday afternoon the Board of
Aldermen met iii special session and
lieve the coal situation. A resolution
was introduced by Alderman M. W.
Stand and put through which called
on the Board Of Health to suspend
temporarily the ordinance prohibiting
the use Of soft coal. Only one protest
was recorded, that Of Alderman Peter

clared that because of the numerous
factories in his section the motion
would turn Greenpoint into another

or three weeks the railroads would
have filled all their vacancies and
placed their lines on q normal footing.
Il. e. Loonlis, president OF the Lee
high Valley, issued the only formal
statement on the situation, which was
III the nature of reply to the chal-
lenge issued to the stand Of the execu-
tives by Bert NJ, Jewell, head Of the
railway employees division Of the
American Federation of Labor. Mr..
Loomis said that the settlement prob
lem had been boiled down to an effort
on the part of the strikers to get back
their jobs by throwing out Of employ
ment the men who had fought to pro-
tect the public.
The fundamentals Of the present
trouble, MIR. Loomis added, can be sum
married in four points, as follows:
'First-The Labor Board, after a
careful investigation, reduced the
wages Of the shop crafts, although the
rates fixed for them left them still
from 10 TO Id cents an hour higher
than the wages paid for similar work
In other industries, and because Of
the special privileges allowed these
men III the way Of free passes for
themselves and families, pensions, eco
0QMiCai insurance, eIc, MAGE tnefn q
preferred class in their craft.
"Secoud-Leaders OF the shop crafts,
despite these facts, defied the Labor
Board and called the strike.
"Third-The great majority Of The
members of these unions, following
mistaken leadership, left their posi-
tions and began determined effort
to paralyze the transportation industry
Of this country that their wishes might
prevail over the Judgment Of a gov
ernment tribunal.
"Fourth-Up to this time the matter
was one between government COM
mission and the union organizations,
but with suspension Of transporta-
tion threatening the railroads were
forced to employ new men, where avail
able, to supplement the workers who
remained loyal despite the strike cali"
Mr.. Loon,is said that in most cases
the railroad shops were EMPLOYING
about 70 per cent of their normal
forces, and that under the circum-
stances they could take back only a
portion Of the strikers. Even il the
union men We're willing to go back, he
added, endless disputes would arise as
to which of the men should obtain
the available jobs. ''The men at work
should not and would not he dis

criminal syndicalist law and held un-
der $4,000 bonds each.
Heading the list was Charles e.

candidate for Governor OF that state.
Beside him in the old fashioned coun-
try court room Of ST. Joseph was
Thomas j. o'Flaherty, now candidate
Tor Governor of New York state on

America.
Simultaneous with the arraignment,
secret warrants charging like ofYense
were issued, it ID said, for more than
thirty men and women. Only two of
these are known. They are Rose Pastor
Stokes, once the wife Of multimil-
lionalre, and Ella Reeves Bloor, Of
san francisco, organizer for the Work
crs' party. Department OF Justice op-
eratlves,, county and state officials and
locar police all have been notified by

q. Foster, head of the Trades Union
Eoucational League, extradition papers
will be asked OF the Governors Of the
states in which they arc held in order
that they may be brought back to
Michigan for trial.
Government officials here, two Of
them personal representatives Of VII
liam j. Burns, chief Of the bureau of
investigation OF the United States De-
partnlent of Justice, say that il con-
vlctions are obtained in each case and
sentences to prison follow much dan
gereus radicalism will have been abol-
ished.
They base this belief on the mass OF
documentary evidence and important
personal testimony they gathered 70
support their claims. Of The seventy
three persons who attended the con-
yeation near Bridgnlan, Mich, iast
week, the personal portfolios and pri-
vate papers of seyenty-one have fallen
into the Federal Investigators hands.

Foster TO Ask Damages
For Colorado Deportoti;oz,

A suit for damages will be brought
against Adjutsnt General Hamroek, Of
Colorado, by the American Civil Lib
critics Union on behalf of William q.
Foster, the labor leader, who charges
In an affidavit on Ale hare that he was
driven out OF Colorado by rangers in
the generals command. Foster is now
in custody in Chicago following his
arrest Wednesday in connection with q
raid on meeting of alleged radicals
near that city.
Recovery is sought as a result of
damages which Foster declares he sus-
tanned when tho Colorado officials
broke up a meeting he planned to hold
in Denver on August 6. He also seeks
to recover personal property which he
asserts was lost when the rangers left
him at desoiate point on the Wy
oming border with warning not to
return.
A statement made yesterday by
Roger Baldwin, director Of the Civil
Liberties Union, 1873 West Thirteenth
Street, says: "We regard the case as
one of fragrant lawlessness on the
part OF the Colorado State Rangers,
who admittedly acted without anv
authority whatever We are seeking
not only to get redress for Mr. Foster,
but also with our Colorado friends to
RESTRAIN, II possible, the state rangers
from further infringements upon the
rights of citizens.
"We have long been familiar Will,
their high -handed tactics in suppressine
free speech and free aasemblage in the
mining districts. We expect this suit
will result in clear test OF their au
thority and We are prepared to go as
far as necessary in the courts" The
amount Of damages to be sought will
be known, Mr. Baldwin said, when the
suit is filed in Denver within the next
few days.
Mr.. Baldwin denied reports that the
coat OF the suit would be borne by an
propriations from, the fund Of $3.50 900,
founded by Charles Garland, OF Norti,
| Carver, Mass, who refused legacy al
81 100000 some time ago. Mr.. Baldwin
said he happened to be trustee of the
Garland fund and was sure that nc
application had been or would be made
for funds from it to prosecute The
Foster suit.

Il also was decided TO ask Governor
Miller 20 suggest that the Legislature
consider permitting the city to install
municipal bus line system, with the
object Of insuring transportation in
case the rapid transit companies should
be crippled during the winter by a
shortage Of coal.
The third resolution adopted by the
meeting in City Hall was an appeal to

"rhe s2,00o,o00 limit was established

Murray Hurlburt, who presided at the
meeting as acting Mayor in the absence
OF Mayor Hylan.
1t is understood that the extra So
900, goo that would be allowed the city
by this proposal would be devoted dur

OF fuel. No suggestion was made as to
the raising of the S250oo,o00 which, it
is estimated. would be required to car
ry out the municipal bus project. In
regard to the extra special revenue
bonds, Deputy Comptroller Henry

pit the polls for or against prohibition.
No election in Sweden ever has caught
the public mind as this, which Is to be
the first on a question submitted under
the newly instituted referendum.
The referendum is only consultative
and will not interfere with the author
ity of Parliament to legislate in the
matter. The belief prevails that the
Cabinet will make no move in the
direction of prohibition unless SIS per
cent Of the votes Of the men are cast
in favor Of it. The votes of the men
and women cast in the referendum will
be counted separately.

The Women's Christian Temperance Union Of
Chicago are going to launch celebration of the
second anniversary Of prohibition, by having what
they term "star in the window" campaign A flag
bearing star is to appear in the window of every
home where no liquor is consumed. The nag bears
the inscription 1--WE are Americans, We support he
Constitution" The campaign will put many resi-
dents into mighty tight place, and also give
numbers Of them something new to think about.
Defiance Of the prohibition law and It's accompany
ing lowering of civic loyalty is something that has
not occurred to many Of the most fragrant offenders
The defiance of the prohibition law in the minds OF
most never figures a sin against the nag and the
constitution OF as an act that brings shame and
discredit upon the administration, exactly as the
naughty department of a child reflects dIscredit and
shame upon the parents. An extensive campaign Of
this nature might be more beneficial than It's
launchers could anticipate. &
