JOB GUARANTEE.
IN RAIL BILL

A new clash between railroad
managements and railway labor
over the employment guarantee"
in the administrations railroad
reorganization bill was predicted
today. as the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee drafted a
favorable report on the measure.
The committee included the
employment guarantee" at the
request of the railway brother
hoods and over objections of rail
road managements. 1t would
prohibit the dismissal of any men
in order to carry out economies
under the reorganization plan.
The workers won a number of
important victories in the pro-
posed bill. The committee in
cluded provisions recognizing the
regular unions, forbidding yellow
dog contracts" and denying
representation to company unions.
1t also provided the railroads
must pay the cost of transporting
workers from one city to another
if the location of their employ
ment is changed.
The measure also forbids the
carriers to reduce wages in order
to effect economies.

Unclipped Queens Blamed
For Bee Swarms

to clip one wing on the queen
bee, confining her flights to a
small area.
Washington's swarms probably
came from a spot four or five
miles from where found, Marvin
estimated. The correct procedure
for capturing a swarm, he said,
is to don hat and veil, sweep
the clustered swarm into a basket
and deposit it near an empty hive.
If one hasn't an empty hive,
the Bureau of Entomology usually
can name somebody who has.
Right now one chap who is per-
fectly willing to appear pronto
with a bee home ready for occu-
pancy on short notice is H. E.
Stanton, George Washington Uni
versity student, of Bethesda, Md.
His phone number is Wisconsin
23O7.
Swarms reported this week were
at Eleventh and C Streets North
west, Second Street and Massa-
chusetts Avenue Northwest and
in the 1400 block of Farragut ST..

GOTWALS SEEKS
SEWAGE PLAN

Inclusion in the next budget
of a $4,000 item for chlorination
of sewage which is dumped into
the Potomac during the months
of July and August was recon-
mended to the District Commits
sionerS late yesterday by En-
gineer Commissioner John c..
GotWalS.
Major Gotwals also recon-
mended appointment of a board
of engineers to study future sew
age disposal here and the placing
of ban on dredging at Oxon
Bay. He explained that the
dredging destroys marine plants
which aid in publication of the
water.
The report said that pollution
of the river is not serious, as
there is no direct sewage con-
nection with the river except
when storm sewers are in use,
but recommended the chlorina-
ton to make the river fit for
bathing.
The Commissioner took no &C
ton on the report, pending a
study of the document by other
members of the board.

D. K. |SP[EDGED
FOR BANKB BILL

President Roosevelt will sign
the Seagall bank deposit guar
antee bill if it passes the House
as it is drafted, or if there are
no major changes, Speaker Raj
ney said today.
The bill was due to be brought
before the House today under a
special rule. The rule permits
entire freedom for amendments,
however.
The House and Senate bills
differed in two of their most i'm
portant particulars, affecting in
surance on bank deposits and
branch banking. The House bill
would allow State banks to take
advantage of the proposed Fed
eral insurance fund by merely
passing a Federal examination
and paying their share of the
cost. The Senate bill would force
the State banks to enter the
Federal Reserve System to become
eligible for the deposit insurance.
There was a move afoot in
the Senate to adopt the House
provision, over Glass opposition.
Another move was organized to
make the insurance available i'm
mediately, instead of on July /,
1884, as proposed by the Admin
istration.

God of 2.5 Garners Only Few
Pennies; Depression and
Economy Smothers Pep

ANNAPOLIS, May 20.-Old
Chief Tecumseh, god of rs, pass
mark at the United States Naval
Academy, did not fare so well
yesterday as in former years
when graduating middies cele-
brated the end of the examina-
ton period.
Whereas in other years he was
the recipient of q veritable
shower of pennies on the part
of midshipmen, grateful for the
luck he had brought them in
four years of study, there was
only a meager dribble of cop
perS yesterday.
Pep Lacking
The falling off was due largely
to economic necessity, it was said.
Many of the midshipmen failed
to take part in the mo more
rivers" exercises.
Inc usual enthusiasm was also
considerably dampened by an or
der read before the regiment sew
eral days ago placing taboos on
many of the favorite stunts of
other years, when the middies
wore their shiniest uniforms, car
ried their navigation books in
laundry bags and staged planned
and impromptu frolics.
Not Even a Band
The band which usually sup
piled music for the occasion was
lacking yesterday and what music
there was was entirely vocal.
The enthusiasm was materially
curbed by the economy measure
which allows only so per cent of
the class to be commissioned in
the Navy.

An inexperienced beekeeper, or
several of them, who did not
know enough to clip the wings of
their queen bees early this spring,
was blamed today by Department
of Agriculture officials for Wash
ington's epidemic of wandering
bees.
The swarms, which have caused
no end of embarrassment and
trouble to District firemen, po-
licemen and citizens all week,
took place because of failure to
confine a queen bee to her
proper home. George E. Marvin,
apiculturist for the Department
of Agriculture, explained at the
Governments apiary in Somerset,
Md.
In the spring, if a young mans
fancy lightly turns to thoughts
of love-" it is no less true the
season also tempts old queen bees
to collect their admirers, tottering
like themselves, and leave their
hives to the rule of younger gen.
erations. The only prevention is
