To that end, any threat or challenges; any loose use of the| word “Bolshevist" calculated to give, offense to laboring men whose Amer- | icanism is unquestioned; any denial of rights previously given labor, or any attempt to take advantage of the present situation to withdraw priy- ileges whioh labor already has, is looked upon by the Government as dangerous in the circumstances and as likely to add to rather than dimin- ish the chances of industrial conflict in America. Government officials do not under- estimate the gravity of the situation in which the country finds Itself, Not alone is a coal strike threatened, but labor is combining not merely on account of real grievances but on account of hypothetical or imag- inary grievances, Action by Con- gress, for instance, although still a committee affair in one branch of the legislative department of the Government has looked toward the denial of the rights on the part of the railway brotherhoods to strike, PUBLIC OPINION OPPOSE TIEUP OF RAILROAD.

Republicans voting against the amendment were: Colt, Edge, Hale, Kellogg, Keyes, McCumber, McNary, Nelson, Sterling. Gore and Shields were the only Democrats who voted for amendment. Johnson introduced a second umendment which seeks to accom- plish the same object as his first one. A number of Senators were absent when the roll was called, no advance notice of the vote having been issued. Several Democratic Senators in- cluding Phelan, California; Smith, orgia, and Asburst, Arizona, en- tered the chamber after the yote on the amendment was taken and pro- tested that they had been taken un- awares by the sudden vote and asked permission to state their attitude on the question. At least half a dozen Senators were attending a Roosevelt memorial meet- ing in another part of the city when the roll call was ordered Of the eighteen Senators not voting, Senator Walsh, Democrat, Massa- chusetts, voted for the Jobnson Amendment but later withdrew his vote in the absence of his pair, Sen- ator Stanley. of Kentucky, who op- posed the amendment Had all the Senators been present and voted the result would have been 44 yotes fo rthe announcement and f2 against Following the vote on the Johnson amendment, the Senate took up the Moses amendment which would bar public utility, such as the railroads, but in the absence of any tribunal or organization certain to give justice to the railway employees, the ten- dency of the brotherhoods is to toin| been given increases reaching ner cent, since 1914. “president Wilson is incorrectly in- formed,” said Mr, Lewis, he says that the proposed strik: § not taken by the sanction of th aber- ship of the United Mine Workers of America.” Refusal of B, H.
