{ V. Thompson STRKERS O SIE " FOR 3 YEARS PAY Several Million Dollars Ask- ed for Time Lost by West- ern Maryland Men. Special Dispatch to The Star. HAGERSTOWN, Md.. March 11.— Several hundred striking shopmen of the Western Maryland Railway Co. have prepared for the filing of suits aggregating millions of dollars against the company, alleging viola- tion of contract and asking pay for the period of idleness from March 26, 1922, to date. J. Cleveland Grice, their attorney, said today the first of the suits would be filed at once at Hagerstown, Cum- berland and Baltimore, Md., and Elkiss, W. Va., where the principal shops are located. Tt 1s charged the Crafts were working under a wa agreement when the company abol ished their positions and turned the shop work over to a contracting com- pany, resulting in a reduction of wage and the strike. Recently the international officials -of the shop crafts ordered an end of the strike and return of the men to work. Whether the strikers are entitled to pay for the time they have been out of employment is the important question involved in the suits. Federate Shop POISON PLOT PROBED.

There must be party leadership, and there must be a leader of each party in the House and in the Senate. In the Senate the rule has been to elect as majority party leader the menfber who has been longest in con- tinuous service, but this rule was de- parted from when the present Re- publican leader, Senator Charles Cur- tis of Kansas, was chosen to this re- sponsible post and Senator Francis E. Warren, who was entitled to it under the seniority rule with more than 32 years of service, continued as chairman of the appropriations committee. It is especially important to have strong leaderskip in the Senate when the majority is small, as it was dur- ing the Sixty-eighth Congress and with insurgency claiming the “bal- ance of power. The party leader makes all the motions necessary in proper handling of the administration or party pro- gram, although indlvidual members may be varticularly interested in cer- tain particular bills. He makes all motions for adjournment and for ex- ecutive sessions. He names the com- mittes on committees and the steer- ing committee. In fact, he is the one who keeps the party machinery mov- ing. The minority party, now Demo- cratic, intrusts to its leader the duty of marshaling the atack upon the majority, The present minority leader in the Semate is Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas : Different System in House. In the House the system has been somewhat different, owing to the spe- cial authority given by the Consti- tution to the National House of Representatives to originate money- raising legislation. The Constitution gives this authority to members of the House because they are elected every two vears and so kept more closely under the control of the voters. As the tariff and revenue policy is the principal bone of con- tention between the Republican and Democratic parties, it has become a custom for each party to choose as its leader on the floor the member of its party who ranks highest on the Leaders Rust and Ink Stains Go— Quickly, Safely, Surely!

C, WEDNESDAY KENNEDY. No. 40—1Leadership in Congress. ways and means committee, which is the committee that drafts the tariff and revenue measures. This rule was departed from when Representative Nicholas Longworth became floor leader and Representa- tive Willlam R. Green of lowa re- mained as chairman of the ways and means committee. It also was de- parted from when the recent Repub- lican caucus by acclamation selected Representative John Q. Tilson of Con- necticut to be floor leader, succeed- ing Representative Longworth, who had Just been chosen to be Speaker in the Sixty-ninth Congress. Party leadership in the House Is even more essentially necessary than in the Senate, because there are more than four times as many members and a larger number of undigested legislative proposals constantly press- ing for action. In the Senate, too, the vast majority are veterans, while in the House there are always restive and ambitious youngsters constantly causing trouble by obstreperous tac- tics. There is a tendency, also, to feel that the House can take a chance on letting some ill-considered meas- ure get by because the Senate will catch it later. Representative Tilson, in defining the policy of his regime as party leader in the House, exposed what has heretofore been the particular weak spot. He sald he wanted “more members to know more about more bills than ever before.” For many years the Republicans in the House rallled behind the late Representa- tive James R. Mann of Illinois be- cause they knew that he knew more about any measure that came before the House than any other member. Says Teamwork Is Neceasary. In the next Congress the antithesis of this system will be tried out. “This is not a one-man job,” Repre- sentative Tilson told his party mates in the conference. “Of course, I can move a call of the House or to ad- § Pass. *1795 Delivered Price $1,925 498 HUDSON COACH *1345 Delivered Price, $1,450.00 SEDAN Delivered Pricé $2,030 journ all by myself, but to really do the Jib right teamwork is required.” He explained that one way he had long had in mind to get real team- work was to induce his colleagues to each and every one assume the duty of studying up on each measure be- fore it comes up In the House. He sald he hopes to form something of an organization to do this work thoroughly without imposing too much on any one. Representative Tilson urged his Republican colleagues to make every effort to agree on essentials. He pledged that when the occasion arlses when the decision of the ma- jority is contrary to his own best judgment on any particular matter it will make no difference as far as his official acts as leader mre con- cerned. “The machinery of the House shall be used to the best of my ablility to carry out the will of the majority or any pollcy that may be finally agreed upon,” he said. He emphasized that then he would be representing his collegaues ana not himself. He urged that “every Republican strive to the best of his ability to work with other Repub- licans for the best interests of the party, which, in our judgment as Republicans, is also for the best in- terests of the entire country.” Mr. Garrett Demoeratic Leader.
