Strikebreaker Ban
Urged by La Toilette
Committee
Recommends Congress
Adopt Legislation
Barring Professionals
BY the Associated Press.

=
The Senate Civil Liberties Com
mittee recommended today that
Congress adopt legislation to pre-
vent employers from engaging pro-
fessional strikebreakers.
Summing up their two-year in
vestigation of industrial labor rela-
tions, Chairman La Toilette of Wis
consin and Senator Thomas, Demo-
crat, of Utah announced they were
preparing such legislation.
This, they said. would not in any
way affect the right of an employer
to provide legitimate watchmen or
patrolmen to guard his property.
1T should, however" the report
said, subject him to penalties for
the tactics of aggression, intimida-
ton, provocation, deception and
brutality, carried, out by irresponsi-
BILE mercenaries, which have cost
the Nation so much in human life,
suffering, bitterness and misery since
1885"
The committee said it would be
difficult to attempt to control strike
breaking activities through Federal
legislation requiring registration of
detective agencies, their personnel
and operatives.
The employer, it declared, was the
key to the problem. Federal juris-
diction over industrial relations in
or affecting interstate commerce now
was clearly established" it added.
The committee said it had investi-
gated "the structure of the strike
breaking business" thoroughly in its
hearings. including its inquiry last
summer into the Little Steel" strike
of 1887.
"Stemming from the fink under
world, supplemented from time to
time by unemployed or transient
persons, come the strikebreaker, the
strikeguard and the propaganda or
missionary" channeled through the
detective agency or employers asso-
citation to the bitterest scenes of in
dustrial controversy" the committee
declared
1t said its Investigations showed
commercialized strike services, such
as offered employers by certain de-
tective agencies and other organiza-
tions, tend to produce violence and
disorder"

tunity that presented itself, uith
the result that an sS75 900, 900 re-
lief allotment sought by Presi-

OF the fiscal year, suffered q re-
duction OF $4,000, 900 as it left
the House In the Senate. ad-
niniStration supporters are at
tempting to restore the cut.
The Senate this afternoon began
its third day of debate in the closelv-
drawn fight over the size of the
w. P. A. relief fund for the next
five months, with the time for a
vote still clouded in uncertainty.
While some Senators believed the
roll call would come before evening
on whether to sustain the $725.-
100000 recommended by the Ap-
preparations Committee or restore
the administrations estimate of
1915 100000, there were others who
thought debate might continue
through tomorrow.
With the issue expected to be de-
termlned by few votes. several
senators were absent today. An
early vote may depend on whether
pairs can be arranged for absentees,
Senator Pepper, Democrat. of
Florida resumed his argument at
noon IN support of restoring the
amount asked for by the President.
AS the session opened, Senator
Wagner, Democrat, of New York
submitted telegram from George
Meany. president of the New York
Federation Of Labor, urging s875,-

There can be little doubt that a

minimum relief needs in New York
as well as in other parts of the

Idaho, one of the few Republicans

Manor Park Citizens
And Whittier
Hold Banquet
Potrick of Alabama
Gives Humorous
Address at Dinner

A politician is man who borrows
your pot in which to cook the CHICK
en-, according to Representative
Luther H. Patrick, Democrat, Of
Alabama, who gave what he termed
an "inspirational' talk before the
Manor Park Citizens Association
and the Whittier Parent-Teacher
Association at their second annual
joint banquet last night at the Al
bright Evangelical Church.
Invited to choose his own topic,
Mr.. Patrick entertained the group
for a half hour with a running
monologue centering about "cora
pone and turnip green's" upon
which the Alabaman said he had
been "weaned."
Tells of Society Efforts.
Standing in what he described as
the Land of the disfranchised." Mr..
Patrick, who is serving his second
consecutive term in Congress, de-
scrlbed his efforts to "break into So
clety" when he first arrived in Wash
ington last year. His story had a
happy ending, however. He was in
vlted to the White House for dinner.
In more serious vein, George A.
Corbin, president of the Manor Park
group, reviewed the civic projects
accomplished by his association dur
Ing the past year. He said that al
though the fight for a new high
school-the Calvin Coolidge High
School at Fifth and Sheridan streets
N.W-had been carried to a success
ful conclusion. $4,000 was still
needed to build girls gymnasium
at the school. He expressed the hope
that this sum soon would be appro-
prlated by Congress before the high
school is to be completed in 1910.
Lists Associations Aims.
Mr.. Corbin enumerated the aims of
the association as Cd a stadium for
the new high school, ca a new field
house on the playground at Van
Buren, and Whittier streets NV
and CD widening of Blair road and
Kansas avenue NV.
More than 100 members of the two
groups attended the dinner. Thev
were welcomed by Mrs. Earle w.
Dahlberg, first vice president of the
Whittier PIT. A., and by F.. Arthur
Oehm OF the Manor Park Citizens
Association, chairman of the Enter
tahment Committee.
Greetings also were extended bv
MRS. Walter B. Fry. president of the
District PIT. A.; Mrs. Paul o. Gott-
walls, president of the Whittier
group. and Miss Elsie E. Green
principal of the Whittier School
The invocation was given by the
