Washington, Sept. 2. Substitu
tion of the M'tiatc anti-profiteering
coal bill for the measure pained by
the house was proponed in the sen
ate by Chairman Cummins of the in
terstate commerce committee, who
explained that the house bill under
took to regulate interstate movement
of coal, which he considered outside
the jurisdiction of the federal gov
ernment. Senator Cummins undertook to
explain the various provisions of the
senate bill, but was interrupted so
frequently that he had not concluded
when the senate adjourned until
Tuesday. Several democratic sen
ator! questioned the constitutionality
of the act in the light of the decision
of the lupreme court in the child
labor cases, but Senator Cummins
disagreed with their views.
Breaking1 into the discussion, Sena
tor Nelson, republican. Minnesota
declared lenatora ought to try to find
legislation that would meet the situ
ation instead of raising "technical"
objections. He charged the states had
failed to make use of their police
powers in the present emergency and
declared the paramount question was
the "freedom of labor," the right of
a man to work on a job without fear
of his life.

Ship Subsidy Is
Urged by Omaha
C. of C. Leader
George M. Carey Heportu to
President Harding Senti
ment Is Hapidly Chang
ing in Weft.
By GEORGE F. AUTHIER.
Wuliliigioa Carrrtpondrnt Omaha He.
Washington, Sept. 2. (Special
Telegram.) George M. Carey, man
ager of the foreign trade department
of the Omaha Chamber of Com
merce, was received ' by President
Harding at the White House. Mr.
Carey has been making a survey of
Minnesota, North Dakota, South Da
kota, Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska on
behalf of his organization with espe
cial reference to the pending legisla
tion to aid the American merchant
marine. He told President Harding
that he had come into close contact
with many commercial and farm or
ganizations in the six states and had
been instrumental in obtaining en
dorsement of the shipping bill from
75 or more prominent commercial
organizations.
Mr. Carey said he bad hopes of
favorable action on the shipping bill
by the leading farm organizations be
twecn now and November, when the
bill will be brought up in the house.
The hostility that formerly ex
isted toward any ship subsidy plan,"
Mr. Carey told the president, is
either not fn evidence at all or is
abating rapidly. I found that what
opposition stiil remained was due
wholly to suspicion ot what the
measure meant and a lack of know!
edge of its provisions. As the bill is
being more widely discussed in the
newspapers than ever, this remnant
of antipathy is fast disappearing.
The people out there who favor the
bill are the most progressive and
thoughtful ones and they are con
verting the others fast by presenting
the facts to them. ,
"When they learned that British
interests were opposed to the ship
ping bill, i great many who had been
lukewarm before, or even antagon
istic, saw a light. They decided the
bill must be a good thing for Amer
ica if it could stir up such bitter
statements as those that have ap
peared in the British press. That
particular type of opposition was a
revelation and its exposure has done
much to change sentiment to the
bill's advantage.
"Those who have been working for
the bill are pleased that the definite
date for its consideration in Novem
ber has been fixed and they feel sure
it will pass then."
Lafollette's Renomination
Up in Wisconsin Monday
Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 2. (By A.
P.) The campaign preparing for the
primary election Monday neared its,
close today with major interest cen
tered in the race of United States
Senator Robert M.'La Follette for re
nomination on a progressive-republican
platform.
Senator La Follette, in his campaign,
defended his record, decried the four
power treaty, termed the Fordncy
McCumbcr tariff bill "!he greatest
robber tariff ever attempted" and at
tacked the Iisch-Cummins railroad
law and the proposed four-power
treaty. He also demanded a soldiers'
bonus with an excess profits tax to
provide the funds.
Opposed to Senator La Follette for
the republican nomination is William
A. Ganfield, representing the so
called citizens' republican wing, Gan
field has pronounced himself opposed
to "bossism run mad" in politics, re
ferring to Senator La Follette. and his
campaign has been confined princi
pally to an attack on the senator's
policies, pronouncing them radical,
lie also commented on the endorse
ment of La Follette by the socialist
rarty at a time when that party put
no candidate in the field.

Labor Chief
Defies U. S.
Injunction
Samuel (romiier Henewi
Pledge of Federation's Sup
port to Bailway Striker
Hope for Surer.
Legal Attack Is Planned
Omaha IW Iae4 Wlr.
Washington, Sept. 2. Defiance of
the federal f overnment's injunction
against the railroad shopmen's strike
came from the American Federal ion
of Labor today, when it telegrsphed
renewal of its fullest potable sup.
port to the strike leaders in Chicago
and exptetsed a with (or the turrets
of the struggle.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
federation, who Friday annoumed
that the txecutive council next Sat
urday would consider the qjettion of
a general strike rail, in retaliation
agamtt the government's injunction
move, sent the telegram renewing the
pledge of support to the eniomed
strikers on behalf of the federation.
Although Department of Juitire
oflirials here would not discuss Mr.
Gompers' telegram, it wa believed
here that the renewal of the federa
tion pledge to support the strike
might automatically bring Mr. Gom
pers and his associates within the
scope of the injunction, which spe
cifically en joins anyone from aidmfi
in the obstruction of railway opera
tion. Actual support of the strike,
it is contended, could be construed
as violating the terms of the injunc
tion. Teat of Telegram.
Mr. lumpers' telegram, addressed
to B. M. Jewell, president of the
railway employes' department, Amer
ican Federation of Labor, was as
follows:
At the meeting of the labor legis
lative representatives July 21. a reso
lution was adopted conveying to yon
and through you, to the striking rail
way shopmen, the pledge of our sym
pathy and support to the fullest ex
tent within our power. At the
meeting of the same conference thir
evening, jt was derided to ratify
nd emphasize the declaration made
July 21, and pledge anew our sym
pathy and support and ih- ' t wish
es'for the success r' triking
railroad shopmen in ' nment
of their cause."
The telegram was signed bv Mr.
Gompers as "chairman, conference
fhor legislative representatives.''
First Gun in Fight. v
The dispatch of this message wat 1
regarded here as signalling the firsl
formal act of the American Fedem.
tion of Labor in pursuance of a poli
cy of resistance to the injunction.
Within a few days plans probably
will be announced lor legal attack
upon the injunction. The federation
is considering the legal course it will
pursue in an effort to have the in
junction set aside when the hearing
is nciu aepiemoer n, on the mo
tion to make the temporary restrain
ing order permanent.
Primarily the labor leaders will
maintain that the iniunrtinn it in
direct violation of the Clayton anti
trust act, which holds that there can
' no ' eni'nitg of peaceful picketing.
The Chicago injunction even onet t
far as to enjoin "oral persuasion" to
induce railroad workers to leave their
tasks. This drastic provision of the
injunction is regarded here as forc
ing the issue directly between oruan-
the question of peaceful picketing anr,
it is believed it will precipitate a
most stupendous legal struggle.
Labor Leaders Aroused.
That portion of Attorney Gen
eral Danghcrty's address to the court
in which he says he will use all the
force of the gomcriuncnt at his com
mand to prevent the overthrow oi
the "open shop" (has also aroused
the labor leaders, who declare the
government, in this, is playing di
rectly into tiie hands of organized
capitalists and employers who art
charged with having conspired, ever
since the armistice, to accomplish the
overthrow of trade unionism in the
United States.
The filing of the injunction peti
tion was the president's first proof
that he meant what he said in his
message to congress that the govern
ment by law must be upheld. Friday
the president made it plain that the
government would not stop at the
injunction if further steps are neces
sary to keep trains in operation. Al
though he did not specify what the
next step would be, it is generally
conceded thai the president, if re.
quired to. will call upon the army to
enforce the injunction, if the courts
cannot do it.
