THREATEN TO TIE
UP ALL RAILWAYS
WEST OF CHICAGO
Washington, June 3. Strikes and
peaceful picketing were sanctioned by
the House yesterday afternoon when the
Webb amendment to the Clayton anti
trust bill was agreed to almost unani
mously, making such acts of strikers
not unlawful under the Sherman law.
Labor's ao-oaJled "bill of rights"
Immunity from injunction rule and le
galizing strikes and secondary boycotts
was considered in the House. Sub
mitted as an amendment to the admin
istration anti trust bill by Chairman
Webb of the judiciary committee, it em
bodied, he said, the ideas of both Presi
dent Wilson and officials of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor.
The amendment was to section 18 of
the Clayton bill, which provides that
nothing in the section which permits
utrikers, peaceful picketing and assem
bling shall be unlawful.
Consideration of the amendment was
sidetracked for some time by the word
"or," which Representative Murdook,
Progressive of Kansas, insisted must be
inserted in the first part of the section
to make it apply to strikers.
Representative Henry of Texas, who
opened the debate to-day, declared sec
tion 18 is "labor's bill of rights." He
said it had been submitted to the presi
dent and to the A. F. of L. and that
both concurred with the judiciary com
mittee that it should be paused.
"This amendment ought to be added
to preserve the rights of labor," said
Mr. Henry, "and to restrain the coiu'ts
from interfering with labor at times of
dispute."
Chairman Webb said the amended sec
tion would legalize only "secondary boy
cott." Representative Moore of Pennsylvania
declared the House was "terrorized and
bulldozed" yesterday when it voted 20
to 0 immunizing labor and agricultural
associations.
72,000 Men Will Vote to Strike Unless
Their Wages Are
Raised.
Chicago, June 3. A majority of the
72,000 engineers, firemen and enginemen
employed on railroads west of Chicago
will vote to strike unless their demands
for increased wages are conceded by the
railroads, in the opinion of officials of
the vsrious trainmen's organizations
yesterday.
Follow in? the breaking off of nego
tiations with the general managers com
mittee Monday, the committee repre
senting the employes opened an all-day
executive session here vesterday. Plans
for taking a referendum strike vote
were to be discussed. It was expected
that the committee of the employes
would issue a statement later in the
day, answering that given out last night
by the railroad managers.
The managers declared the demands of
the employes were not warranted by
business conditions and .that to grant
them would increase their yearly pay
rolls by about $33,000,000.

Suggestions of Governor Walsh

Washington, June 3. New Haven rail
Thrace and Macedonia Men
aced by Famine Worse
in Albania
London, June 3. The formal ending of
the Balkan war has brought no rest to
tliat long suffering region. Thrace,
Macedonia and Albania are boiling with
racial and religious strife. Stories of
fighting, of persecution and of massacres
are continuous. 1 he changes of boun
daries and of sovereignty which result
ed from the peace treaties, and the
launching of Albania as an autonomous
state, are responsible for the new era
of struggle and butchery. Every power
concerned in the new allotments is try
ing to impress not only its laws, but its
of departing Jews, number between two
and three thousand persons daily, so
that all shipping is crowded and the nor
mal life and business are as much dis
turbed as they were during the day's
of the war. An important factor of the
upheaval is that both the Greeks of
Thrace and the Jews of Salonica were
the most prosperous peoples in those
communities, and their expulsion means
disaster and ruin to both.
Meanwhile Albania is seething. The
Greeks claim 400,000 adherents out of
the 550,000 inhabitants of the southern
portion of the new Albania. These peo
ple of Kpirius known as Kpirotes refuse
allegiance to the Mpret. Fierce fighting
has been going on about Kortiza, and the
rebellion is said to be led by officers from
the (Jreek army. The worst tale of
atrocity which the near East has yielded
in many days came from this field. The
bodies of 200 Albanian Mussulmans were
reported to have been found in a church
at Corda all crucified alive. So many
stories of similar stripe come from preju
diced sources that this has been talten
as a creat exasperation at the worst.
One fact stands above impeachment.
Famine prevails throughout the Italkan
peninsula as it has intermittently for
many years. J he war for civilization
proclaimed by the Balkan league wrought
no cure of the old racial feuds; only
new phases of the same disease.

New Haven, June 3. Announcement

seem the order of the day. Between the
Christian and the Mussulman dispensa
tions, between Creeks, Turks, Bulgar
ians, Roumanians, Servians and Alban
ians, there is little choice of standards
of civilization. Much of the informa
tion comes from Athens which presents
events only from the standpoint of (Jreek
interests: much is disseminated bv the
newspapers of Vienna, which is a foun-1
tain of canards.
The Turkish government is determined
to drive the whole Greek population from
Thrace, according to accounts from Greek
sources. It has organized a campaign of
oppression which is making life impos
sible for people of Greek affiliations in
the country about Kirk Kilisse, Lule
Burgas and all the land which Bulgaria
conquered in the first war and lost in
the second one.
Irregular troops, who get their living
by loot, and bands of so-called brigands,
all supposed to lie acting under inspira

ning the country. Burning villages light

to escape to the coast with what bundles
they can carry on their backs. Athens
reports that 25,000 refugees have arrived
at Salonica by ship, and that 15,0fX) more
are waiting on the coast to get away.
The Greek government, on its part,
does not lack enterprise in oppression,
if witnesses from non-Greek sources may
be credited. Restrictive laws against
the Jews in Salonica have been made
so strong that 80,000 are leaving that
once prosperous port. The battalions of

I. D. McKcnxie has been elected cap
tain of the Princeton track team for
1915. Mckenzie has been one of the
consistent point getters for the Tigers
for the past two years. He comes from
Hartford. Conn. In the mile run at
Harvard on Saturday he finished third.
Rankin Johnson still holds the upper
hand of Walter Johnson, his namesake.
The Boston Johnson won his first battle
aaaiust the michtv Walter, but in the
second encounter lost. He came back on
Monday, winning a pitcher's battle by
the score of 3 to 1,
Doc Crandall. the former Giant pitcher,
till retain the sunremacr of the fed
eral leao-iie Ditchinc department. He has
o i
won six games and lost none.
Baseball patrons of Pittsburg have
entered a petition to President lener of
the National league, protesting against
ITmnire Rider annesrinor on Forbes field
at Pittsburg. This is practically an un
heard of procedure in the major leagues.
Britton of the St. Louis team has made
a similar petition to Pres. Tener.
George Stalling, the Brave manager,
is of the opinion that both the National
and American clubs of the major leagues
are well represented. Stall was con
tent that St. Louis should beat out
Iluejc Herzog's bunch of Reds.
Last week's games proved disastrous
for the Pirates. The Pittsburg team
opened the week with a win and then
lost the following five games in succes
sion. By this the team dropped out of
first position.
George Burns, the little outfielder of
the Giants, is leading the National
league in hitting. Burns is hitting for
.366. He is closely trained by Catcher
of the St. Louis team, who is batting for
.352. Byrnes and Wagner ot the Pirates
follow in the order mentioned. Wagner
is hitting for .342, a rather poor aver
age tor an old man like tne uuicnman.
Boston fails to land a single batter in
the .300 class. '
Old Sam Cilwford, another veteran,
is the leader in the American league bat
ting- order with .358. Clyde Milan of
the Washington team is second with .340
,loe Jackson fell to .326, while Cobb is
still stationed at .324.
Ray Fisher, the Middlebury college
twirler, still holds his prestige v the
American league among the pitchers. He
stands in second position with four wins
and one loss. Johnson is well down the
list with eight victories and four losses.
He will undoubtedly be well tip in the
iist towards the close of the season.
Charlie Herzog Is play'i.tg the game
of his life and is handling his team in
line order. Herzog is making the Red
land aggregation play pennant winning
ball.
President Somers emphatically denies
the rumor that Joe Birmingham is to
b, replaced as manager of the Cleveland
club of the American league. He is
perfectly satisfied with the way Birming
ham is handling his team. It is pos
sible, he says, that some of the old
timers may give to youngsters who can
hit.
One St. Ixmis paper says that St.
Louis will be weakened to such an ex
tent, should Jack Miller jump to the
Feds, that they will be lucky to finish
ahead of Boston. Boston people claim
that they will be lucky anyway to finish
ahead of the Braves.
Benr the Chicago pitcher, twirled the
first no hit game of the season against
Cleveland on Sunday. Errors behind him
permitted Cleveland to score one run.

Jack Miller, the St. Louis National
player, has decided to remain with his
club. He has been threatening to jump
to the Pittsburg Feds for some time, but
this week signed a three-year contract
with the Cards. The 10-dav elanse was
tenioved and Miller is said to have re
ceived a substantial increase in salary
over his previous contract.
Edward Fabre, the French-Canadian
long distance runner, has been suspended
