ANTI-STBIKK PROVISION
WITHSTANDS ATTACKS
Senators Vote Down Motion To Elimi
nate It and Defeat Substitute Offered i
L Senate May Not Jtecesa.
Washington, Dec. 18.?The senate
held its fifth night session on the rail
road bill tonight, with grave doubt in
the minds of leaders that the measure
could be passed in time to permit be
ginning of the holiday recess Satur
day.
The labor clauses, Including the an
tistrike provision, of the Cummins mea
sure, were under discussion during the
day, culminating in the rejection by a
vote of 25 to46 of the proposal of Sen
ator Stanley, Democrat, of Kentucky,
to eliminate the whole section. Efforts
toward a compromise ended.
During the debate an agreement was
reached by senate and house majority
leaders not to permit a holiday recess
until the measure is through the sen
ate and sent to conference. At their
conferencc, however, Senator Lodge
and Representative Mondell agreed to
suspend house business Saturday to
permit members of the lower body to
go home for the holidays, even if the
senate is held by delay on the railroad
bill. Beginning Monday, house ses
sions will be perfunctory under a
"gentlemen's agreement" to transact
no business until January 5, but to dd
journ from day to day until the senate
recesses.
The anti-strike provisions were in
turn attacked and derended today while
conferences were held looking to a
compromise by modifying the clause
imposing criminal penalties for strik
es and lockouts.

Senator McCormick. Republican, of II
! lino.a. offered a substitute plan, simi
lar to the Canadian system, to prohibit
strikes for 60 days after decisions of
the adjustment board, and requiring
decisions from the board within 90
days.
Senator Thomas. Democrat, of Colo
rado. supporting the Cummins labor
proposal, declared railroad strikes to
be intolerable In their efTect upon the
general public.
Opposing the ant!-strike section,
Senator Walsh. Democrat, of Massach
usetts. said that criminal penalties for
strikes would not accomplish their pur
pose. The Cummins plan, he charac
terized as "repressive, unfair and un-1
Just."
"Strikes among certain classeB of
employes are unjustifiable and among
these are .railroad.employes." declared
Senator Walsh, "but wc cannot chain
i them to their posts like salley slaves."
| Congress, the Massachusett| senator
held, should remove the incentive and
causes of strikes by enactment of ar
bitration legislation without banning
what he declared to be the inherent
right to strike.
#On a t!e vote of 21 to 21 the substi
tute of Senator McCormick, Republican
of Illinois, for the anti-strike provis
ion was rejected and Mr. MeCormick
gave notice that he would ask fg
other vote later.
