14 SENATE THROWS OUT RIGHT TO STRIKE IN WAR Lecturers Told, by Gompcrs, . Withholding of Permission Will Make Lawbreakers ti\ Associated Press WnxhlnKton, April 11.—The. confer ence report on the bill providing se vere penalties for destruction of or inteiference with production of est sc-ntial war materials, containing the clause giving workmen the right to strike for better wages or working cc ndltlons, was rejected to-day by the Senate, 31 to 25. The votu will cause the House to reconsider tho b'.li. Tne Senate op position was directed rolely to the ilause providing tho bill should not restrict workmen from striking. Many Senators who objected to tho provision regarded to-day's vote as a rebuke to workmen who have *■ truck at shipyards and factories en gaged on war work. <'Oiii|rra l>enounrrs l*ro|>onl While tho Senate was rejecting the much-discussed provision, President (iompers, of the American Federation of Labor, speaking before the Na tional Conference of American lec turers here, was denouncing the pro posal to prohibit strikes and walk ■ uts. "As a patriotic American citizen," Cellared Mr. Uompers, "I serve warn ing on Congress not to permit the deviltry and folly of such a law. It will serve only to make strikers law breakers as well. Nothing will do more to create resentment than to make It unlawful for men to stop work." Nobody, he declared, has served more effectually in offsetting the in- Duence of pernicious German propa • Kanda than organized labor. LEGAL NOTICES, TO WILLIAM ALLISON.

Nearly thirty motorists have been lined for violations of the city traf fic ordinances during the last two weeks and some of these claim that the ordinance they violated, namely, that of running after dark with their lights undimmcd, is not contained in the regulations as issued by the de partment. These ordinances, they print out, have been passed by Coun cils since the books were printed. The department is still using pamph lets printed many months ago. Ar.other ordinance not contained in the printed regulations is that re stricting parking in South Fourth street between Market and Chestnut streets. Motorists think the regula tions should be complete when issued by the department. The printed in structions now being issued were printed in 1915. The police point out that ignorance of the law does not excuse its vio lation and that they are not required by law to pass out copies of the ordinance, although it is customary. They add that when they give out the printed instructions thiy warn of the additional ordinances. The rea son for their failure to print any books recently is that the ordinances will be changed in the near future, they say.
