It now goes to the sennte. Twenty-two Democrats joined with tho Republican majority in supporting j tho resolution and two Republicans f voted against its adoption. Democrats voting for tho resolution were: . Ashbrook, Caldwell, Dooling, Cullen, Gallivan. Ganley, Goldfoogle, Huddles j ton, McKinirle. McLane, Mahr, O'Con n( 11, O'Connor, Pell, Hammill, Olnoy, Sherwood, Sullivan, Tague, Carew, Ev 1 ans, (Nevada), Mead. I" ' Republicans opposing it were: Full er, (Massachusetts), and Kolly, (Mich igan). Vote Down Substitute Before adopting the resolutions, the I house voted down a tnoilon by Represt- I sMJve Flood of Virginia, ranking Dem 1 ocrat of the foreign affairs committee, to send C'e resolution back to that P committee with Instructions to report out a substitute repealing all wartime acts. Tho vote on that motion was 171 for and 221 against. On the Democratic substitute off ered as a motion to recommit the only vote other than that on adoption of the L I resolution permitted umlcr the rule, I three Democrats lined up with tho Re I publicans, while tvo Republicans I joined the minority, Tho greater I break in the Democratic ranks came 1 on tho fiy.l vote. 1 Chairman Porter of the foreign af- P rairs committee claimed after the roll I Call that twenty more votes would car 1 ry the resolution over a presidential I Aeto, Democratic members, however, I ' raid a vote on that question would see j pTty alignment virtually intact, I The debate began at 11 o'clock yes- I terday morning and occupied all the I time of the house for more than 12 M lmnrc Tf v.'nc tnnH.-rwl f Jirrv.ifr!rmf hv I sharp partisianship except for those on trch side who broke away from party lines to join tlie opposition. ,! Greet Party Leaderc. ttJ Former Speaker Claric, and Repre 1 I sentative Kltchln of North Carolina, I took a leading part In the fight on t j the Democratic side while Representa ! live Mondell, Republican leader, who -' ! closed the debate, received a warm I ! greeting from his party colleagues. I ! Representative Kitchln's speech aroused the Democrats to an outburst of cheering as he assailed the Repub- lican membership, charging them with) 'hypocrisy," and challenging them to present a straight out proposal for re peal of wartime legislation, If they were sincere. At the close of his speech, Mr. Kltchln suffered a cot lapse, resulting from what was said by ills physicians to be a 3llght stroke o paralysis. Representative Mondell lat er expressed the sympathy of tho house with Mr. Kltchln, tho members standing while he spoke. ; Representative Longworth, Republi j can, Ohio, was particularly sharp in j his references today to President Wll f son's attitude on the league of nations which he described as an "un-Ameri- can monstrosity." I The debate was unusual in that it consisted largely of a symposium of prepared statements, few members speaking extemporaneously. There , i was little attempt at applause from i the crowded gallery. At one, point today, as yesterday, ! party support suddenly shifted. When y Representative Kelley, Republican of l Michigan, was recognized to oppose : the resolution, Democratic seats were ' filled as the Republicans were massed . ' yesterday when Representative Hud dlcston, Domobrat, Alabama, declared his Intention to vote for the measure. Cries of "'go on," greeted Representa tive Kelley and was accoi'ded addition al time by the Democratic leaders, concluding his address with an asser tion that the resolution proposed to strike hands with Germany and say "It's all over, let's call it square." "Not with my vote," he. shouted, as he took his seat, and a roar of cheers came from the Democrats. Toward the close of debate, both sides were reduced to speeches of a half minute's length in order to givo opportunity to all who wished to get : into the congressional record. The house derived much pleasure apparent ly from the bang of tho speaker's ga el as it cut off man after man in the middle of a rolling oratorical sentence. Ironic cheers and handclapping came Trom the opposing faction in each case. i; oo I HOOVER TURNS I ! .NEW YORK, April 9.

A signed statement was issued hero tonight by the chiefs of the four big transportation broth erhoods, as follows : "The present strike of men engaged in switching service was originated in Chicago by a new organization that has for its purpose the destruction of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and the Switchment Union and in its inception had nothing to do with the wage question, but was a demand for the reinstanement of the leader of this oppositiion organization. After this strike was instituted for this purpose, the leaders of the new organization then injected the wage question for the sole purpose of deceiving yardmen throughout the United t States and promote the ''one big union" ida. There can be no settlement of pending wage question while this illegal action continues. We insist that every other membe'r of these' broth erhoods do everything within their power, to preserve their existing contracts, which, if abrogated, may" take years to re build. The laws of all of these organizations provide penalties for members engaging in illegal strikes and these will be en forced. , (Signed) L. E. S.HEPPARD, President Order Railroad Conductors, "W, G.

Illegal Striko. .."We -will reslBt every effort to set tle this illegal airlke by mediation," Mr. Lee said. "There Is nothing to mediate with the insurgents and the fight now Is to preserve the recognized labor organizations." Tho strike had become a clearcutj fight between recognized railroad or ganizations and the radical element among the rail workers, brotherhoqd officers said. The brotherhood's claim1 that freight traffic in Chicago was fifty per cent normal today was countered' by the rebels' assertion that the tieup' had become more nearly complete. I The question of wagos and hours had! become of secondary importance, ac cording to John Grunau, president of; the Chicago Yardmen's associalion, which called tho original walkout. "The fight has becomo one of su premacy between the new and tho old unions," Grunau said. "We railroad; men are tired of receiving nothing but promises from our leaders. We -demand results." Striko Conditions Improve. j An opotimiatic statement was issued today by the Western Genoral Manag ters' association, composed of manag lers of all roads entering Chicago. "Tho strike In Chicago showed fur ther improvement today," said the statement. "All the railroads are handl-j lng all their passengers and suburban! trains as usual. On several roads there was a further Increase in the number of switching crews working and on ncno of the roads were there a de crease. "The labor brotherhoods continued to bring in members of their organ izations from outside points to fill tho places of tho strikers and there is good reason to believe conditions In the Chi- cago district will continue to improve I rapidly within the next few dns." I In the New York area, railroad of ficers and union leaders were bending olforts to break the striko, and al though conditions were reported to be improving, tho situation was consid ered still serious. In the St. Louis district, including East St. Louis, and Madison, 111. an embargo on all incoming and outgo-1 lng freight traffic was ordered. Yard men on tVenty-seveu roads were on strike. AIL railroads in Kansas Citty, oper ating under contracts with the Broth erhood of Railroad Trainmen were af fected. An embargo was declared on Incoming freight and packing plants curtailed their output from fifty to 75 per cent. Richard J. Hopkins, attor noy general of Kansns, announced that blanket informations against persons responsible for tho(str!kc in Kansas City, Kansas, were being prepared.
