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.

THURSDAY EVENING, H>JtRISBURG TELEGRAPH APRIL 11, 1018,
MOTORISTS GIVEN
OLD COPIES OF
TRAFFIC ACTS
Many Arrests Made Where
Automobilists Were Mis
informed as to Law-
Motorists In Ilarrisburg complain
that they have been lined for violat
ing city ordinances which are not
contained in the printed regulations
given out by the police department
for the guidance of the city's motor
ists.
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.

When David Belasco brings "The

a young and charming actress and is
rated one of the prettiest and most
talented ingenues now appearing be

seasons her career has been identi
fied almost exclusively with the New
York stage for she is one of the for
tunate few In a position to accept
New York engagements only and to
always find her services in demand

though Miss Shepley's experience on
the stage covers but a brief period,
eight years in all, she has played
rather a wide variety of roles for one
soyoung and has been identified with
some of the most popular successes
of recent seasons. She is a Provi

Another drop in the sinking of the
Allied merchantmen by German sub
marines is noted in current, reports.
The British losses of six ships, in
cluding four of more than 1,600 tons,
is the next lowest weekly total since
February, 1917. The lowest week
was that of November XI, when one
large and five small vessels went
down. week's total was thir
teen, including six of the large ton

merchantmen also are reported lost.
It is believed in Washington the
falling off in submarine effectiveness
is due to the fact that the Germans
are turning attention from
merchantmen to transports. Depar

it is said, now are three times great

its immediate relationship to present

The locale is of one of the larger 1

an aggregation of good singers,
