HOUSE VOTES TO EXEMPT UNIONS Paragraph Placed in Clayton Bill. With Little or No Opposition. SENATE NEAR VOTE ON TOLLS Fate of Repeal Bill to Be Settled This Week — Amendment Increasing . ‘Capacity of Indian Head Pow- i der Mill Adopted. Washington, June 2.—Trade univns and farmers’ unions’ would be spe- cifically legalized in their existence and declared not to be combinations in restraint of trade by a paragraph which the house yesterday incorporat- ed in the Clayton bill to supplement the anti-trust laws. Although it is designed only to clarify existing law, organized labor leaders say the final passage of this amendment will mark the culmination of a fight waged by them for fourteen years—since the passage of the Sherman anti-trust law—for exemption from prosecution under the laws against monopolies and restraints of trade. On a vote to perfect the labor provision the house was recorded 207 for and none against. As adopted the provision declares that “nothing‘in the anti-trust law shall be construed to forbid the exist- ence or operations” of labor unions or farmers’ co-operative associations, or to forbid or restrain members of such organizations from “carrying out the legitimate objects thereof.” Supplemental to thds provision, the house adopted an amendment pro- posed by Representative Webb in charge of the bill, and agreed on by organized labor representatives and the administration, which would pro- vide that such organizations and their members shall not “be held or con- strned to be illegal combinations or conspiracies in restraint of trade un- der the anti-trust laws.” Although the provision was passed without a dissenting vote, there was considerable debate as to just what the effect of the legislation would be. Democratic leaders declared that the provision would give’labor the ex- emption it desired and asserted that officials of organized labor had in- dcrsed the phraseology. Progressive {.eader Murdock and others asserted that it would be years before the courts could finally define just how far the exemption went and what it meant. A clause to fegalize such confer- ences and agreements among rail- roads as are subject to the control of the interstate gommerce commis- sion also was passed by the house. SENATE NEAR TOLLS VOTE Fate of Canal Repeal Measure Wiill Probably Be Settled by Satur- day Night. Washington, June 1.—The long- awaited vote on the tolls exemption repeal bill will be taken in the sen- ate before Saturday night, unless all plans of the senate leaders fail. There is a prospect that the house will fin- ish its trio of anti-trust bills by the end of the week and pave the way for adjournment in July jf senate lead- ers can reach an agreement on the amount of trust legislation. Despite the fact that President Wil- son’s recent remarks to Ohio and IIli- nojs business men are regarded in some quarters as an announcement that he will not be satisfied with less than all three trust bills to be passed by the house, many senators are said to feel that the passage of a trade commission bill by the senate wil! prove sufficient. The toll repeal bill will figure daily in the senaté until the vote is taken, but the first test for the sena- tors who favor arbitration will come Wednesday when the foreign rela- tions committee, will vote on arbitra- tion resolutions. The senate also has taken up the naval appropriation bill and probably will complete it by the end of the week if the repeal bill is disposed of in a few days. 4 MAY MAKE ATS own POWDER Senate ‘Adoptee Auonbeak Increasing Capacity of Government Mill at Indian Head. WANTED HORSE TO BE COLD Farmer Had His Own Reasons for er]. fectively Chilling Naturally Lazy Nag. “Let me give you a tip for next win- ter,” said the man in charge of the ho- tel cigar stand to a customer, “It’s a tip with natural philosophy back of it.” “Fire away,” was repifed. 4 “Last January I was in a village in northern Michigan, and in walking about I noticed a farmer's horse shiv- ering at a post. I was feeling indignant over the sight when the owner came out of a store and deliberately heaped a bushel or so of snow on the animal's back. “What in blazes do you do that for?’ I exclaimed. “The man turned and saw I was mad and gently replied: “ ‘Say, stranger, what would you do If you were real-cold and there was no fire handy?’ “I'd take a run to warm me up.’ “‘Just so. It’s a drive of six miles home and this is a lazy old horse when he Jsn’t cold. I’m in a hurry, and he will be, for the first three miles. After that the whip will keep him going.’ “It worked beautifully, sir. The old horse was shivering from nose to tall as he started, and he was ‘so anxious to warm up that he threw a cloud of snow ten feet high and knocked down two men as he started away. His gait as he left town was 18. miles an hour, and if the runners didn’t pull off the cutter he had that farmer home in 20 minutes.” : “I see the difference between that and the cigar trade,” said the smoker in a quiet way'as he looked at the charred end of his cigar. “Yes?” “One is natural philosophy, and the other is natural trickery!” FAMOUS OLD ENGLISH TAVERN. Jack Straw’s Castle on Hampstead Heath Has Many Attractions for the Visitor. Jack Straw’s castle on Hampstead heath, which is mourning the death of its landlord, is one of those rather nu- merous inns. whose claims to honor rest more on legend than on solid fact. It is true that every Dickensian goes there at least once in his ‘life and there is solid warrant for the pilgrim- age on the authority of John Forster. In 1837 Dickens wrote to him propos. | ing a winter tramp over the heath, with the added attraction of “I know a good ‘ous there where we can have a red hot chop for dinner and a glass of good Wine.” Forster adds that this was the first of many happy meetings at Jack Straw's castle. But the story that Dickens often stayed there has not the same authority. The other Jack Straw legend is that the peasant leader built a fort there, of which it can only be said that the house is apparently built on an ancient earthwork, whoever was its architect. The first reference to the castle is in a mention of a horse race on the heath in 1748, but. it has a corner in “Claris- sa Harlowe.”—Manchester Guardian. Se On a False Trail. It was Sunday and the plain-clothes cop was indignant as he burst into the saloon. “I just saw a man leave here with a-can under hia coat labeled ‘Coffee,’” he said. “Right-o!” replied the bartender. “Don’t you know that under section 2147 of the penal code of the state of New York it is forbidden to sell tea or coffee on Sunday? Aren’t there enough posters about it around town?” “Sure I know,” said the bartender. “But he didn’t have coffee in that can. Honest, mister, he didn’t. He brought it in here empty and I, sold him a dime’s worth of: beer.” “A thousand apologies,” murmured the cop. “But we have to be very careful, you know. Crime is SO ram- pant.’"——New York Press. ~ Laborer Builds Cathedral. ~ After laboring for 24 years with a penknife a Rochdale (England) la- borer named William Pollitt has com- pleted a model of Cologne cathedral. The model covers a ground space Ge 32 square feet. Not a single nail has been used ‘in the model, but the whole has been carved out of selected wood and sev- eral pocket knives have been worn out. Some of the pieces of wood used are so tiny that they had to be picked up on a pin point and placed in position. London's Newest Museum.

Three young men plunged into the waters of the Delaware river late Saturday night that their com. panions might be saved from drown: ing in a disabled rowboat. The dead ure John Mouchech, Raymond Tinney and John Murphy. The saved are George German, Sarah German, Mary German and John Nevill, They ranged in age from 16 to 26. Tinney and Sarah German were sweethearts. As chaperons, they ac- companied the other outers on a visit to Cramer Hill, on the New Jersey side of the river and hired a rowboat. Suddenly one- of the” party saw water seeping in through a break in the side of the boat. The singing stopped and there were hurried sug. gestions passed, Raymond Tinney suggested that the boys leave the boat, hoping thereby to allow the splintered board to rise above the water and lessen the dan. ger. Sarah German begged him not to attempt it. None of them could swim. He had tld her that before, The boat must be lightened shortly or all would be lost. Kissing his sweetheart good-by, Tinney leaped over the boatside. The other boys followed immediately. They did not come up. The boat capsized shortly after they had disappeared in the -water and the girls were plunged into the river.

A motor boat steamed to the spot after hearing their cries and carried nt) back to safety, RAILROADS MAY BE TIED UP Western Lines Refuse Demand of Employes—Referendum Vote on Question of Strike Planned.

MORE TUNNELS IN PROSPECT English Engineer Predicts Present Channel Project is Only a Forerunner. “When one tunnel under the Eng- lish channel has been completed, an- other will have to be made very soon after it, and possibly a third.” This confident prediction was made by Sir Francis Fox when talking to members of the house of commons on the engineering difficulties of the pro- posed tunnel. All parties were repre- sented, and it was curious: to notice how the -prejudices that prevailed at one time against the project have died down, Sir Francis told of a recent conver- sation he had with a high military authority who was at one time a strong opponent of the scheme. “But,” said this authority, “now that we have aeroplanes and’ airships the problem is entirely changed, and it has become a matter of national necessity that the tunnel should be made.” ~ and the general managers’ commit- tee of ninety-eight railroads west of Chicago. The fink! refusal of’ the railroads to grant their demands will be sub- mitted to the men and a referendum vote on the question of a strike will be taken according to Warren S. Stone, grand chief engineer of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, and W. S. Carter, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, who have headed a committee of employes: in the nego- tiations. _ Mr. Stone said it probably would require about thirty days to complete the vote and in the meantime no fur- ther proposals would be submitted. The total mileage of the railways in- volved is about 140,000 miles and more than 55,000 engineers and fire- men who now receive about $67,500,- 000 annually are involved. According to a statement issued by the.general managers’ committee, the requests of the men would increase the payrolls of the departments ap- proximately 50 per cent.

Clement K. Shorter suggests that a replica of Foley’s statue of Goldsmith in front of Trinity college, Dublin, should be placed in the Temple. There are, it ie declared by artists, only two good statues in London, those of Charles I, at Charing Cross and of James II in the Admiralty gardens. Dublin has Foley’s two statues, those of Burke and Goldsmith. They are both of unquestionable beauty, and it is felt that the proposed replica would not only do sometting to commem- orate the memory of Goldsmith, but would add a statue of great charm to London. There ie very little doubt that permission for its erection would be obtained from the master of the temple if a suitable site was decided upon,—Pall Mall Gazette.
