WASHINGTON, April 9 The Re
publican joint resolution declaring tho
state of war with Germany at an end
j end repealing most of tho wartime leg
' islation was adopted today by the
' house. 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,

I" ' Republicans opposing it were: Full

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

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.

'Outlaw5 Strike Efforts
to Destroy Unions Ss
Brotherhoods' Warning
CLEVELAND, April9. 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)

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.
Rail centers In California felt tho
freight restrictions and eastward along
the transcontinental lines several ter
minals reported strikes.

SALT LAKE CITY. Utah! April 9.
Switchmen and yard employes on

proximately 450 and freight traffic is

The roads here most seriously af
