Wagner anti-lynching bill was voted
today by the Senate Judiciary Com

enforcement officers of any State or
county subject to prosecution If they
failed "to make all diligent efforts" to
protect prisoners from mobs, or if they
did not make diligent efforts to appre-
hend members of a mob. In such cases
officers would be charged with a fell
ony and, upon conviction, could be
fined up to $1,000 or imprisoned up
to five years or both.
Second, it would make States, coun-
ties or cities in which persons are
lynched subject to suit for damages to
be paid to the families of the victims.

BILL, PAYING 1,2OO,
READY FOR VOTE
Senate Committee Reports
FavorabIy on S905, ,321,.
600 Appropriation.
500 EMPLOYEES LEAVE
RANKS IN COMPROMISE
Minor Change Made in Measure
to Assure 100 in Justice De-
partment of Jobs.
BY j. A. O'LEARY.

The Senate Appropriations Commit
tee today reported favorably the $685.
321 900 Treasury Post Office appro-
priation DILL for the coming fiscal year,
including the compromise agreement
for paying the 1900 Treasury en-
ployes who have been working with
out salary since last December.
Under this compromise, these en-
ployeS will receive their back pay and
go on the pay roll now, but after
May Is between 400 and 500 of them
will be dropped from the service. 1t
provides that of the 700 former pro-
hlbitlon agents re-employed by the
Treasury, all those who failed To pass
the new civil service examination re-
quired by the Mcclellan rider last Fall
must be dropped May Is.
Although the Mcclellan rider orig
inally intended only to affect the TOO
former prohibition agents. the amend
ment was found to require the Gov
ernment to stop the pay of 500 or
more other employees last December.
The pending bill would clear up the
status of these employees.
Minor Changes Made.
The committee made few minor
changes in the wording of the COM
promise this morning, but did not
materially alter the terms suggested
by the subcommittee last week One
change is intended to make certain
that about 100 employees in the Justice
Department, whom the committee
found have civil service status, will
be retained.
The Senate committee added ap-
proximately 100000 to the grand
total Of the House bill for the Treas
ury and Post Office Departments OF
this increase. however, the largest
item was the sl,385.864 necessary to
pay the Treasury workers who have
been without pay since December.
This increase is offset by funds Con-
gress appropriated last year for the
positions, but which could not be
spent because of the McKellar rider.
S693,120 Added to Postal Fund.
In the Post Office Department the
Senate committee added s693, 100,
principally for operating post Office
buildings and for the railway mail
service.
For the two departments combined
the Senate total of S905,32l 900 ex-
ceeds the budget estimates by about
100000, but is reduction of $780,
588,697 below current appropriations.
Since the Senate item for the back
pay of Treasury employees is only an
apparent increase in actual expenses,
the Senate bill is only about $780, 900
above the estimate.
Whereas the War Department sup
ply bill, passed last week, was larger
by s45,000,000 than current appro-
priations for that service. the Treas
ury-Post Office bill represents a sharp
reduction.
